  1. Re:Morons are running the USA on US Federal Budget Proposal Cuts Science Funding (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually, funnily enough, of that $20 trillion in debt, $19 trillion is owed directly to the people of the United States. About 1 Trillion is for China, and a few billion here and there for other countries.

    So what we should do is file a lien on the Government, and take every bit of military, CIA, FBI, and DARPA technology, gov't housing for those holding office, all of their pay raises (and accounts since they're paid by our tax money) and revoke their ability to collect taxes until their debt to us is settled.

    Alliance for Open Media is going to crush HEVC without fail. All the real technology companies are getting in on it, leaving the MPEG and VCEG out of the loop. They're tired of being told how to make their products to any degree, and are fighting back.

    A database-based file system? Funny, KirbyCMS went without a database and uses the pure file system for RAW PERFORMANCE.

    Who the fuck would add a secondary layer to make shit run slower? (Besides Oracle?)

    "Windows ME was the last version based on DOS."

    ME was more of a mix of NT and DOS (.VXD and .DLL driver hell was rampant) and real-time DOS mode was heavily restricted (which made a bunch of my older disk utilities no longer work.)

    Processors don't need drivers. If they did, you'd be well fucked before you could ever boot, you'd be stuck bootstrapping it manually EVERY FUCKING TIME.

  7. It was a long period. What changed that whole thing about them was the Children's Crusades and the bringing about of the Dark Ages. Christianity came around and decided to start some shit, and we've been paying for it ever fucking since.

  8. Universal Heat Death? on Cooling To Absolute Zero Mathematically Outlawed After a Century (newscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    "a temperature of absolute zero cannot be physically achieved because it's impossible for the entropy (or disorder) of a system to hit zero"

    Would that then not imply that our universe is incapable of experiencing heat death?

  9. "It is a sad reality that Islamic societies of the Middle East and Asia have seen either none or very little of this, with a clear, inverse correlation between "progress" and the degree of theological involvement in society. "

    Yea, about that, you do realize that Islamic people were responsible for most of our stuff today thanks to that one little thing called Algebra, right? In fact, Islamic communities were once highly-regarded as scholarly and scientific types. Meanwhile, the Judeo-Christians brought about the Dark Ages.

    Back to school for you.

    Uh, yea, unless you've been paying attention, most ISPs are not offering contract-based plans. Charter/Spectrum? Hah, they don't carry enough paperwork to hide the legalese. In fact they're advertising over the radios right now "No contract." So, yea, your whole idea's pretty fucked.

    Your 120GB HDD is currently 100GB due to OS and other pre-installed shit.

    To boot, IOPS on a network-attached drive is Marianas Trench low, pretty much any modern game will suffer from performance issues.

    Star Citizen alone when it launches will be 100GB. X-Plane 9 clocks in at 70GB install. Most open world games clock in starting at ~40GB now days, so at best you get three to install before you're right out of space with your 120GB drive.

    Let me look at my steam library... I don't even have a hundredth of my collection installed, and yet my 500GB games drive is nearly full.

    How so? There are plenty of vehicles where you change the transmission fluid WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND OPERATIONAL. Yet that doesn't trigger OSHA issues at the car dealership when it gets done.
