  1. Sex Robots Yes on A Different Kind of Enlightenment · · Score: 1

    I for one am not too elitist to be ashamed to admit I want a sex robot. And I want it sooner, rather than later. To be against sex robots is like being against masturbation. Not very enlightened at all.

  2. Makes Microsoft Look Good to Investors on New York Times on Linux · · Score: 1

    Did you catch the last paragraph, about the 2
    Microsoft guys conjoining the Linux protest?

    >> Apparently they had been monitoring the group's
    >> Web site. "What you guys are doing is touching
    >> a lot of people's hearts," one of them told the
    >> group. "We'd love to sit down and talk."

    This clearly leaves the reader (MS stockholder)
    with the warm fuzzy assurance that microsoft is
    on the ball and smart enough to be trying to
    figure out how to *assimilate* the passion shown
    by Linux devotees. They'll analyze it with all
    their IQ and market ruthlessness and so there's
    no need to worry.

    Just my take.

  3. Fish are not hygenic on Water Cooling a CPU · · Score: 1

    Tell that to a sushi-lover! :)

    Actually, I suppose a balanced ecosystem would
    be pretty hygienic (if the fish stayed alive, that
    would be a good sign). Just need to make sure to
    have a good aquarium filter and direct the clean
    water output to the heat sink input.

    As far as conversation pieces go, I think that
    the fish tank adds a nice Rube Goldbergian touch.

  4. Speed at What Cost? on Water Cooling a CPU · · Score: 1

    from the coolcpu web site

    >>The first and most obvious benefit is that
    >> the processor runs much cooler.

    And I care about this -- why?

    >>This allows us to run our computers at much
    >> higher speeds without having to pay big-bucks
    >> for the latest processors.

    Oh so it's to save money then?

    Let me just say I'm glad my time is worth
    more as a hacker than it is as a plumber.
    But who knows, this guy may be on to something.
    Don't humans love to "baby" their possessions,
    like putting extra octane gas in their cars,
    or using monster cables for their speakers?

    In other words, this might be a good garage
    experiment for a future Bell Labs researcher,
    but it's not gonna buy you much more than a
    "fun" project and a "conversation piece".
