    I have a GeForce 9500 GT, and a dual core Athlon 5050e, yet Flash fails abysmally at playing hidef YouTube on even a single 1680x1050 screen.

    Well, if that oil is to be used to heat houses, why not use a district heating system attached directly to the Capitol Building? Then you'd get hot air for free!

  7. Bookface on Facebook Ordered To Turn Over Source Code · · Score: 1

    Looks like the patent judge through the book in Facebook's face. And they'd better face up to it, or they'll surely be booked. Unless the judge does an about-face to save face, but I'm not going to call my bookie just yet. This whole issue is facetious, but I'm going to bookmark it for teh lulz.

    Or maybe even a Holiday Inn.

    The ISS already has enough labs. Why not go for something at least a little more interesting? Maybe a daschund or a beagle?

    There comes a time -- in every man's life -- when he must take splatters into his own hands.

  20. Re:The EASY way out! on EMC Co-Founder Commits Suicide · · Score: 1

    The first step is to run your own business where the taxes are lower. Everyone plays the same game. Take the best position. It's never easy in the beginning though, partially for the taxation reason. I'm a fan of eliminating income tax all together. It makes zero sense to punish productive behavior.

    What's more American than being an entrepreneur? And why shouldn't he do everything to keep his hard-earned wealth? Why should his hard work taken advantaged of by the government? The oppressive tax regime in the US is one of the biggest reasons why the economy tanked. Rich people don't like being robbed, and will take their money elsewhere, where they can keep it, as they should! A noble American, I agree, indeed!

  25. Re:Star Trek on Suitable Naming Conventions For Workstations? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I like to run a toke'n network. You take the toke, and when you're done, pass it along to the next node. I prefer this strategy for its high throughput. Not only that, but it's ahead of it's time. My network has been running a cloud for a couple decades already, and it was green before it was the in thing. The only problem is I can't remember what I named my workstations, so I'm afraid I can't help answer the question.
