  1. Yes, but is it themable? on Nissan Gives Electric Cars Blade Runner Audio Effect · · Score: 1

    That's the key to success. Pay $350 and make it sound like a Light Cycle.

  2. Re:And this is news how? on Frank Herbert's Moisture Traps May Be a Reality · · Score: 1

    Yep, hygroscopic, though it takes a serious amount of effort to get my hands to type "hy" without "d" to follow.

    I imagine hydenas that would laugh hydsterically at your effort to avoid "d". In the meanwhile, I fantasize driving in an imaginary Hydunday hydbrid car trying to make things more hydgienic for the environment whose hydmen we are constantly raping praising hydmns about our technological progress ignoring hydpe about the planet fighting back. I could go on, but yes, "d" is hard to avoid.
    On a more serious side-note, you can always blame the ancient Greeks for not making it easier for later generations combining "hydor" (water) with "hygron" (liquid).

  3. Re:Delicious Uranium on BPA Leaches From Polycarbonate Bottles Into Humans · · Score: 1

    Recently, we had friends over for dinner, and as a game, we had glass, can and plastic bottles of Coke. We did a blind test, a triplet of small glass shots for every one of us, freshly served after all containers had been kept in the same fridge for 5 hours.

    Out of 7 people, one correctly identified all three glasses; of course, this proves nothing, but it's too close to the "statistical" one-time-out-of-six correct. I couldn't find the difference in taste, but if the coke is freshly served, the one from the plastic bottle is much more frizzy than the one from the glass bottle.

    Combined with Phyto-Estrogens from Soy Formula, This could grow tits on a frog.

    excelent, ill start feeding my girlfriend soymilk from a polycarbonate bottle

    I think he meant a real one, not an inflatable.

    His inflatable doll has been for too long on a strict plasticizers diet for extra pliability. A little BPA can bring back some of the perkiness, and the soymilk some kinkiness. Let the children renew their love.

    This could grow tits on a frog.

    Hmmm .... so, do you mean that like growing a human ear on a mouse so you have an actual breast growing out of the back or a frog?

    Who cares about such monstrosities? Now, a real human female breast growing out of the top of a computer mouse would sell like crazy.

    Please, people, don't rush in providing links to images of existing breast-shaped mice.

  6. The return of the 80's on The Future Might Be BIOS and Browsers · · Score: 1

    Just like the $HOME_COMPUTER of your childhood, instant on! Only with faster processor(s), better display resolution and sound, richer applications, and ...connectable to the rest of the world. Oh, yeah, no more program printouts in magazines. Saves some typing, I got to admit.

    Yes, I believe a period is considered a sentence (at least by half the women I know).

    American television is in the slow but sure process of fixing that. The link is from a quite successful series of Greek ads for a paid channel.

    I'd rather not... they don't really seem knowledgeable about this whole "Internet" thing.

    I hereby declare that as true, as I'm currently using the latest stone-tablet-2-internet direct interface of 72 hammer-hits-per-minute bandwidth with the weird name "barbarois homilein" v1.0.

  10. Re:Wait just a minute... on All Solid State Drives Suffer Performance Drop-off · · Score: 0

    The reason the performance hit is large is because erasing SSDs is done in blocks.

    There, fixed it for ya.

  11. Re:Not a bug. on All Solid State Drives Suffer Performance Drop-off · · Score: 1

    You keep using that word: "fragmentation". I don't think you know what it means in the SSD context.

    Nobody said anything about four wheels.

  15. Re:FAT on How Does Flash Media Fail? · · Score: 1

    A lengthy post, but not necessarily relevant. Why do you presume that the flash USB drive used for /var/log storage was left with its original MS FAT/FAT32 file system?

    Give me an application that is coded correctly and that does not try to be "more clever" than the operating system by using undocumented structures, functions, registry keys or whatever else, and I'll show you an application that runs fine on Vista.

    Hm. I thought Microsoft Office ran fine on Vista.

    The porn industry undersigned the death of Betamax by choosing VHS.

  20. Re:Not very "Family Friendly" either on Watchmen Watched · · Score: 1

    A reader can hover over every frame in Watchmen for five minutes if they desire. A reader can dwell over a paragraph for a similar amount of time. A film director simply cannot avail of this kind of engagement in his movie, except in a handful of scenes. It is both a strength and a weakness of film as a medium, but it puts serious limitations on the medium.

    So, performed music is seriously limited and the real art of enjoying music is mulling over the original hand-written score?

    I don't necessarily disagree with you, I just find that you haven't successfully substantiated your "inherently incapable" and "serious limitations" claims.

  21. Re:Not very "Family Friendly" either on Watchmen Watched · · Score: 1

    But yeah, the proper response to "Hmm, this R-rated movie isn't family friendly" would be "Duh!"

    Depends on the family. It is said that there are places in the world where the only virgin girls are those that run faster than their brothers.

    Hmm.. David Lynch movie with fluffy bunnies that fart rainbows... Genius! Get me Hollywood on the phone!

    Just wondering, the rainbow-farting-bunnies are going to be in the first or the second half of the movie?

  23. UDF on The Real Reason For Microsoft's TomTom Lawsuit · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So, is UDF an acceptable replacement for FAT (FAT32) filesystems on CF, SD etc devices?

    I think it's not patented (but ICBW) and I believe (but ICBW again) Windows has the ability to read/write UDF filesystems.

    I think his question makes sense in a "we had nothing, we lost nothing" way; however, I'm not sure whether he meant it that way.
