  2. The old packet vs circuit argument? on ARPANet Co-Founder Predicts An Internet Crisis · · Score: 1

    What's the difference between this flow routing and circuit switching?

  3. Spelt his name wrong, of course. on Governator Kills Data Protection Law · · Score: 3, Informative

    Sorry, I browsed for another post to mod-up but nobody made the point that Schwarzenegger was spelt wrong.

  4. Re:I'm waiting for OpenRT on DX10 - How Far Have We Come? · · Score: 1

    Don't tell Microsoft, or they'll try to suck the life out of it too by always keeping one step ahead of OpenRT. Of course, maybe that would add life to it...?

  5. Re:Still FSB and dual dual-core on Details of Intel 45nm Processors Leaked · · Score: 1

    I swear that was some kind of computer-generated reply.

  6. Re:Fujitsu on Replacing a Thinkpad? · · Score: 1

    I have a Thinkpad T23 and it's really excellent (made in Mexico), but a 1.13 GHz PIII, but good enough for NASA. But since they went down in quality from the T40 onwards, remember that Lifebooks are made in Japan and they're Nuckin' Fice.

  7. Re:Whose job is it, Jobs? on Jobs' Next Fight — Dealing With iPhone Hackers · · Score: 1

    Apple should realize that they have much more to gain by embracing hackers than by fighting them. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em - Didn't they learn anything from looney tunes?

  8. Re:How is this news? on Couple Bonding Through PC Building · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but I still don't understand because the article lacks in-text citations.

    ...and even more condolences to those injured and lost in the dangerous pursuit of man's spacefaring future.

  10. Re:Interesting on Cheap Paint-able Solar Cells Developed · · Score: 1

    The eco-conservationists will die off. My great-great-grandchildren will have flying cars and orbiting houses and vacations on the beaches of terra-formed Venus, all while being so rich that they can afford to keep the Earth untouched anyways (as in Clarke's 3001).

    Alcoa and Alcan stock just jumped 10 points in after-hours trading!

  15. Re:Huh. on World's Fastest Broadband Connection — 40 Gbps · · Score: 1

    Plus with that kind of bandwidth her computer will eventually become a very valuable part of some massively multihosted malware ring. Let's hope she has a quad core!

  16. Re:Nothing new under the sun on Vista Games Cracked to Run on XP · · Score: 1, Troll

    I once phoned Microsoft about a Microsoft game controller I have that they made Windows XP unable to use (although it works on Windows 2000). The schmucks didn't even know what the word "goodwill" meant; they told me they had never heard the word before.

    it looks like there will come a point [...] where [both IE6 or IE7 have smaller market shares] than FF And that's pretty cool!
  19. Re:I bet the Russians feel stupid on Nuke-Proof Bunker Turns Out Not Waterproof · · Score: 1

    I think that the bigger a government becomes the worse it eventually becomes. That's because it's harder to change... because it doesn't have to.

  21. Re:Who says it's about making Windows converts? on Safari 3 vs. Firefox 2 and IE7 · · Score: 1

    I think Apple is wasting their resources on a proprietary web browser. What are they trying to do? Create a browser monopoly for their own platform? They are reinventing the wheel. Would it not make more sense for them to allocate those developers to improving Firefox for Mac instead?

  22. Re:I'm all for the scientific method... on Far-Fetched Time Travel Concept Receives Private Funds · · Score: 1

    One of my friends and I greatly enjoyed John G. Cramer's book Twistor, as well. The book was, coincidentally, about surprising results from the (if not U.S. government cancelled) Superconducting Super Collider... and some time travel thrown in to save Earth from an all-consuming organism that appeared from a wormhole from an SSC experiment.

  23. Re:for chists sake on Far-Fetched Time Travel Concept Receives Private Funds · · Score: 1

    After understanding this quantum erasure experiment, it seems that if path p (in this experiment) was lengthened enough you can tell, by looking at the double slit results of path s, if the polarizer is in place on path p before the p photon even reaches the polarizer. What if path p was lengthened to a distant location? Could someone there apply or remove the polarizer to path p letting you, by looking at the nearby double slit interference/non-interference results of path s, receive the signal of whether the polarizer is on path p or not before the p photon reaches the distant polarizer? If so, you have FTL communication in one direction.

  24. Re:that's interesting too! on Breakthrough Brings Star Trek Transporter Closer · · Score: 1

    This is the second time I've posted that. Hey man, I might have to post it more times in more visible locations. :) Someone will probably answer "You're wrong because nothing can travel faster than light." Information has no mass, maybe it can travel as fast as it damn well pleases?
