  1. Re:Flash makes a horible computer drive on Samsung Announces Flash-Based Disk Drive · · Score: 1

    flash has a limited number of writes before it fails

    So do standard rotating-platter drives. Of course I have little idea what the relationship is, but you are right insofar that flash is probably less, if slightly, durable than standard drives.

  2. Re:Memory on Samsung Announces Flash-Based Disk Drive · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Uh, I hope you were exhibiting that you hadn't suffered any brain damage, because if that isn't sarcasm, I'm afraid you, sir, are an idiot.

    Flash most certainly does retain data after power is cut.

    I'm sorry, but you're mistaken. The reason they were sued is because they stored some of the actual data on their own servers.

  4. Remind anyone else of the recent article... on The Problem with DHS's Plan to 'Buy American' · · Score: 1

    ... with the same sort of thing, but even more strict?

    I seem to remember the prediction that the US would do something similar. Voila! It came true.

  5. Re:Firearms the original point and click interface on A Pistol Mouse for Your Fragging Pleasure · · Score: 1

    If you were using an older muzzle-loader (like a musket), it would be point and click. Click is the sound of the spring-loaded flint/steel action striking to ignite the powder.

  6. Re:825 mW/mole on Nuclear Battery That Runs 10 Years · · Score: 1

    That's supposed to be taken into account with the 25% efficiency. Presumably that includes the p-n junction and wasted heat.

  7. Re:PEOPLE WITH MOD POINTS: CALL FOR HELP on Mars Rover Opportunity Still Stuck In a Dune · · Score: 1

    How ironic... that you have been reposting that too. But I agree with you. I get random crap emails like that all the time, its so damn stupid. Don't mod the messenger down! Save the points for the real bad guy...

  8. Re:The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy on Howto - Flying Snakes · · Score: 1

    If you throw yourself at the ground and miss, wouldn't you go into orbit?

  9. Re:Should one device do everything? on Bill Gates: Cellphone will Beat iPod · · Score: 1

    Actually, on that useless screen, you can just click on the Support tab, which gives you all the useful information.

  10. Re:Infinite Improbability... on Factors Found in 200-Digit RSA Challenge · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just the flowers. The whale was coming to terms with its newfound existence.

    Yes, it is. The mirror is real. I'm sorry, but you're quite thoroughly mistaken.

  12. Re:Next article on Testing Out Cell-Phone Viruses on a Prius · · Score: 1

    Is it that hard to believe? You seem to have two choices, click yes, or stop using your mobile phone.

    As in beer, not necessarily. As in speech, yes, it is free.

  14. Re:Who cares? on Hilary Rosen Gripes About iPod, iTMS · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Who, exactly, told you those are legal? Every reputable source I've heard from is very apprehensive about those Russian sites.

    Not to dismiss your point, but it's not a monopoly, it's called vertical integration.

  16. Re:Nice try on Malicious Web Pages Can Install Dashboard Widgets · · Score: 1

    I don't understand how you can state that there is no way to make a trojan for the MacOS. Are programs in MacOS not allowed to delete files? If the answer is yes (which I assume it is) then yes, a trojan can be made for MacOS. If you haven't found any, then the only thing stopping them is most probably either the fact that there's little point (the marketshare arguement), or that MacOS users aren't going to run it (which may also be related, but more positively for Mac users, to the marketshare arguement).

  17. Re:Might be partly because on Chronicles of Narnia Trailer · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but they filmed (most of?) it in New Zealand too. I was surprised it had a different director! =)

    My Windows XP Setup program has 4 colors I can think of. Blue, Gray, Red and Yellow. It looks like an old DOS setup program.

  19. Re:Astroturf, Anyone? on Microsoft Taps Bloggers to Promote Longhorn · · Score: 1

    Since Microsoft is from the US, and in the US we treat collective nouns as the singular, a Microsoft Employee is more likely to say "Microsoft makes excellent software."

    Isn't the US judicial system based upon innocence until proven guilt? Isn't there also something that juries are supposed to uphold called the benefit of the doubt? Generally agreed upon isn't anywhere near enough for a jury to not have anything to think about.

    Its people like you who give the rest of the world a bad name. Sure, America has its problems, but don't go simply call everyone childish in a huge blanket statement without at least SOME justification. I'm surprised you aren't a -1 Troll yet, even considering that you are an Anonymous Coward (particularly applicable here).

  24. Re:Printing money on Sony Online To Sell Virtual Property · · Score: 1

    And the great thing about MMORPG economies is they're so easy to manipulate. Take WoW, with enough capital, you can simply buy everything (since there's a centralized way to make trades), and sell it back for more, and suck the in-game cash out of everyone else.

  25. Re:Stupid Nintendo! on Nintendo Revolution Under Wraps Past E3 · · Score: 1

    There have been some pretty original, fun PS2 titles. Katamari Damacy, for instance, has been surprisingly popular.
