  1. That's hot... on NVIDIA and Dell Display Quad-SLI System · · Score: 1

    ... in many, sadly exclusive ways.

  2. It matters to me. on Does Faster Broadband Matter? · · Score: 1

    I'd like to be able to surf and torrent at the same time, something I can't do with my current crap DSL. If I see something I want to download, I don't want to end my surfing session then and there or wait until I go to bed to start up the queue.

    Streaming video would be cool too, but I can read and annotate a transcript before the video will play all the way through.

    And all this on a 'broadband' connection.

    So yes, size^H^H^H^H speed does matter.

  3. Re:Ratio of downloads to users on Firefox Tops 100 Million Downloads · · Score: 1

    Conversely, I frequently download Firefox and distribute the same install file over 6 different computers that I manage here at home. An actual account of user habits is definitely needed to get an accurate picture of browser usage.

  5. Re:Please forward to the creators on Utah Teens Invent Better Air Conditioner · · Score: 1

    Damn smart Utah kids...the only thing they teach our high schoolers is advanced Texas Hold'em.

    Funny you say that. The impression several of my AP teachers had this past year was that our senior class was among the dumbest overall that they had ever seen.

  6. Your sig says it all... on Science's 125 Big Questions · · Score: 1

    A deity capable of creating an entire universe is obviously capable of deceiving you.

  7. Re:Elephants on Bigger Brains Make Smarter People Study Says · · Score: 1

    So why haven't midgets taken over the world, eh?

  8. Sure, just provide a link... on FBI Demands Logs From Radical Website · · Score: 1

    Good gravy...

  9. Shows value of backups on Eisenstadt's Analysis Of 8 Years' Worth Of Email · · Score: 2, Informative

    I had a very similar setup going on for a while, but I lost it over a year ago. 6 years and 2 gigs of emails lost to a faulty power supply. Scouring turned up nothing usable and I didn't have backups of my emails.

    I felt like I lost a part of my past...

    Goes to show the value of backing up your data.

  12. Re:Weird on Atomic Veterans Speak Out · · Score: 2, Informative

    Those were smoke rockets fired to provide a background to measure the progression of the shock wave, once it was past the initial fireball. During the first fractions of a second, the shock wave and the fireball had the same perimeter. After, the shock wave continued outward and was harder to track.

    As the shock wave continued out, it would cause a density change in the air, leading to a distortion in the images of the smoke trails.

    Those smoke trails were only present in test firings, not at Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

  13. Living in Utah... on Atomic Veterans Speak Out · · Score: 1

    Now I have -more- reason to leave... *shudder*

    Oh crap...

    Bloody Windows...

  15. I unfortunately must use Windows for the time... on What Keeps You Off of Windows? · · Score: 1

    As my modem is incompatible with my Linux distro. As it is, I have several solutions: 1. PURCHASE a Linux driver from Linuxant 2. Purchase a new modem (I'm stuck on dial-up regardless) 3. Use Windows for pretty much everything, as almost all of my computer usage is internet-related This bites. I think I'm going with #2. Purchasing a driver for Linux, to me, goes against what Open Source is all about. I'm not going to support prostituting any software if I can help it. Microsoft does enough of that without my help.

  16. Procrastination... on Study: Small Doses of Caffeine Best to Stay Awake · · Score: 1

    I'm doing it right now! *sips 3rd Bawls*

  17. What was mom thinking? on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1
