  1. Re:9 Megatons on US's Most Powerful Nuclear Bomb Being Dismantled · · Score: 1

    For the record, it's also only the most powerful in current inventory. The Castle bravo device was detonated with an estimated yield of 15 Megaton. The most powerful in the world is also still Tsar Bomba (50 megaton dialed down. Design yield was 100 megaton plus, but was not tested due to concerns of fallout).

  2. Re:That's okay... on Why Flash Is Fundamentally Flawed On Touchscreen Devices · · Score: 0

    The reason why Apple does not want flash is simple. They would not be able to control the influx of rich applications and games. 30% of paid apps is a great deal of money. Why make people just visit a web page when they want to play a game?

  6. Re:One man's opinion on Leopard as the New Vista? · · Score: 0

    I must say I'm all for Leopard. I had to try it, so I backed up everything i had and went with it. I havent had a crash, and all my programs work even though I copied them from 10.4. Even stuff like Quicksilver (except for the plugins, since they've changed Mail, iTunes, Contacts, etc), iStat Menus.

    As for the title: http://movies.crooksandliars.com/tds-question-mark.mov

  9. Solution on Why Microsoft Won't List Claimed Patent Violations · · Score: 0

    That's not a problem that can't be solved. Just make Linux only officially available for europeans (and host it here). We don't have silly software patents ;-)

  10. The problem on RuneScape Passes 1 Million Subscribers · · Score: 0

    Jagex thinks trying to cure the disease is the solution, rather than stop it. This mentality has only fed the fire, making the game absolutely inflated by bots. Oh, well.
