  4. I think it's both on Hacking - Art or Science? · · Score: 1

    Cooking is art, baking is science.
    Both use algorithms, cooking's are malleable, baking's are not.
    Many things in programming are both: if the results aren't correct, it's not science; if the code is ugly, it's not art.

  6. Wait just a darned minute on States Push to Collect Online Sales Tax · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Mail order (catalog or phone) items which cross state lines have never been subject to sales tax; only if the shipper and reveiver were in the same state was sales tax charged.

    How is ordering over the Internet different?

  7. Wow, the trolls REALLY are out tonight on Silent Water Cooling on the SLI · · Score: 3, Informative
    They're having so much fun, I almost hate to post on-topic.

    I looked the first generation of this unit over pretty carefully when it first came out. I'm really glad they changed the color of the tower from that awful blue, the black would match my tower really well. The problem is, this thing doesn't cool that much better than a good fan-equipped CPU heat sink. Essentially, it's a fish tank pump, some tubing, and a big aluminum tank with sme percolation. The check-valves and flow indicators are nifty, and the thing is quiet, but it's not really overclockers gear, more like something for a total silence freak.

    Hope this helps, you can go back to your regularly scheduled trolling now.

  8. Re:Fanless on A Fanless Graphics Card from ASUS · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you were talking about their motherboards, I'd agree; but I've found that their graphics cards tend to be pretty standard Nvidia reference cards. I tend to buy last years "top-of-the-line" cards, and I've owned a few of theirs without any problems.

    Of course you are correct. I should know better than to use a common, though technically incorrect idiom on Slashdot.
