    "It may be that the xbox dev kits are essentially modded G5's, but I can tell you they don't come in the standard G5 box you'd get if you ordered one from Apple."

    That's a supprise, the MS designers always make stuff look so cute and "appleish." The Xbox case even looks a little like a mac if you squint a little from far away and then claw out your eyes.

    Ahh I see. I was thinking that he meant ionization without the nuclear reaction part.

    My first emerge world broke the install, but to be fair I had no idea what I was doing and it wasn't exactly gentoo, it was Vidalinux. (redhat installer converted to do a stage3 gentoo install, im lazy) It installed fine (both times) though but I just didn't like it much, I like it polished. Guess maybe it just wasnt meant for me though.

    How do neutrons manage to ionize stuff though? Just don't see how they could let electrons free or whatever without having any charge, like can it "hit" an electron or is the neutron going fast enough to have enough gravity to shake them up or is it another one of those atomic forces or what?. I guess basicly all that I'm worndering is how the neutrons interact with the electrons?

  7. Big deal, Wonkas had this for years on Bubble Fusion Results Replicated · · Score: 0

    This story always reminds me of the car in Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory thats powered by soda-pop bubbles. Guess he turned out to be dead on when he said "few people realize what amazing power is contained in those bubles." (quote might not be exact, but its close) Now If we can just build a wonkavator.

    Only once. Next time the headline will be "Bubble Fusion Re-confirmed!" And then after that there will be one that says "Bubble fusion experement turns out to be only the result of passing solar radiation." Then it will be discovered again a few months later and the cycle will just re-peat itself indefinitly.

    Ok, I can't back this up, but thats not true. I've always been able to win at least like 75% of the time whenever I go best 2 out of 3 in paper rock scissors. When what the other person chooses is dependant (or at least usually in some way effected) by what you chose last time it, and what they chose last time, then its no longer completely random, and can be won more than 50% of the time.

  13. Re:Ironically, that story isn't true on New Standard Keyboard · · Score: 0

    My solution to that problem is that I just poke-type with two fingers while I look at the keyboard, it works fine for me. I'm sure after a few hours with a dvorak I'd be just as fast. I'd be fine with it too, in grade school typing class we had to sit there every day with this apple IIe program with and early version of the MS office paperclip dude whose name was Qwerty. I hated that little piece of shit telling me I sucked everytime, I hated those stupid freaking games that tried to make it fun, and I hated being told how to type by some stupid e-teacher keyboard nazi whose name was Qwerty. So if I had to use an un-qwerty keyboard all the better, and I hope that Qwerty burns in hellfire.

    I concur, it makes so much fucking sense it almost has to be true. They could have complete control over the access of insanely vast amounts of information, not to mention a pretty good pchycological profile of about everyone anywhere based on search and browsing history, plus the resources and know-how to use it. But hey, it's still a great search engine!
