  1. Re:Drugs teach American kids the metric system. on The Logic Behind Metric Paper Sizes · · Score: 5, Informative

    if i remember corectly a "hogshead" is 63 gallons.

    and a rod is 5.5 yards or 16.5 feets so....

    damn your car is a gas guzzeler!

    504 gallons to go 1 mile!

  2. hmm. we'll see... on E3 - First Nintendo DS Pic · · Score: 1

    first thing, judging from this, i don't like square shape. i personally found the GBA SP a PITA to control for my big mitts. though this might be big enough. the GBA SP was too damn small and closely packed for me.

    second thing. they are jetisoning the classic gameboy games from this unless an addapter is release (it better be or i'm gonna be pissed as i have a BIG collection of GB and GBC games and i don't really wanna carry round a GBA and this new one)

    the bluetooth addition is something i have been waiting years for. no more damn gamelink cable!

    the power should be plently and they will be able to bring out some of the best games that were made for da N64. Smash bros. in my pocket! fun, especully with multiplayer!

    we'll see...

  3. Re:What about MSDN windows on Microsoft Security Updates for Pirated Windows? · · Score: 1

    last time looked linux is just a vulnerable to a DDOS attack as the windows machine that would be used for it

  4. Re:I don't get it on Spyware Becoming Worst Tech Support Problem · · Score: 1

    yeah but wholesale switch over means that the virii writers and spy/adware makers will make use of those and run from windows like everyone else. macs and linux are only safe for nw from this as they're not popular enough to be worth it and on average Linux users are more aware of what is normal and what doesn't belong on a system

  5. Re:Not an issue for OS X users on Spyware Becoming Worst Tech Support Problem · · Score: 0, Troll

    yeah, that would only be as apple keep its security holes secret and unpatched. that does do a good gob of keeping out the script kiddies but any one who is persistent will get through. the price of fixxing a hole is that everyone know that the whole is there and will exploit it in the time between when the patch is released and when everyone has it.

    macs don't get virii fo the same eason Linux doesn't. its not really common enough as a desktop OS to be worth it. but if macs ever become more popular than windows, we'll have the same thing over again.

  6. i knew that... on New Satellite Data Confirms Global Warming · · Score: 2, Interesting

    everyone know that global warming is going on. the only question being aruged over is "are we to blame?" and i say no.

    this is almost exactly like what happened to the climate 1000 years back. it got warm enough that Greenland was usable for farming. that just seems like to much similarity to be a coinsiance.

    but still, what is causing it??
