  1. Re:Injustice on How To Crash the US Justice System: Demand a Trial · · Score: 1

    Exactly!

  2. Re:Injustice on How To Crash the US Justice System: Demand a Trial · · Score: 1

    This would have been funnier if you hadn't posted AC.

  3. Re:Keep your comments short! on Hard Drive Prices Slide As Thai Flood Aftermath Subsides · · Score: 2

    We can save money by posting dupes!

  4. Re:Good point on Are Some CAs Too Big To Fail? · · Score: 1

    Presumably by contributing to such a project. That's how this stuff tends to work!

  5. Re:Nope on Could You Pass Harvard's Entrance Exam From 1869? · · Score: 1

    New Orleans has a strong history of parochial schools, most of which are relatively affordable and all of which offer at least Latin. The stronger ones offer multiple years of both Latin and Greek. The more you know!

  6. Re:how about cellphones first? on Japan To Standardize Electric Vehicle Chargers · · Score: 1

    I assume he was talking about the actual port on the phone body so that charging cables would be compatible across multiple manufacturers and models. Does the iPhone use the iPod connector, or a standard micro- or mini-USB connector?

  7. Re:99%? on Scientists To Breed the Auroch From Extinction · · Score: 1

    I don't understand; could you perhaps make the subject more relatable by using a car analogy instead?

  8. Re:Adobe on Adobe To Open Real-Time Messaging Protocol · · Score: 1

    New versions of Flash support hardware acceleration, so if both your Flash player and the Flash application can do it, performance is more betterer. May as well check to make sure you're using an up to date plugin, although there's obviously nothing you can do if the Flash object wasn't compiled with hardware acceleration support.

  9. Re:Montana: Spark of Civil War on Montana Says No to Real ID, Passes Law to Deny It · · Score: 1

    Gordon R. Dickson's novel Wolf and Iron comes to mind, if you decide maybe it wasn't a movie. I can't recall whether it was Montana or Utah, in that one, though.

  10. Re:Wired usage habits on wireless are antisocial. on To Verizon, "Unlimited" Means 5 GB · · Score: 1

    This is an issue I expect to be addressed by the company I'm paying for the service. Management of the network and quality assurance are things I don't want to worry about - which is why I'm giving someone else money to do it. If the tragedy of the commons or anything else makes the company's business model unwise, it's not my responsibility to address the problem, and if this is the case the provider needs to adapt.

  11. Re:Why only 3 GB of RAM max? on Apple Unveils MacBook Pro with Core 2 Duo · · Score: 1

    I imagine that Apple simply didn't want to offer an optional upgrade that costs more than a thousand dollars. It would look out of place on the order page, as the $500+ for 3GB does. 2GB SO-DIMMs are very expensive right now.

  12. Re:slow shutter much? on A Single Pixel Camera · · Score: 1

    1/60 isn't all that "ridiculously fast" in the photography world. My DSLR can take shots as fast as 1/4000.
