    The ocean sans gulf stream wouldn't feel the warmth of spring until mid Summer, at the earliest.

  3. Re:Hmm on Adobe Blasts Nikon's Closed File Format · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nikon already provides support through plugins. Adobe wants to integrate it. i.e., make it so that 'It Just Works.' (tm)

  4. Re:Hmm on Adobe Blasts Nikon's Closed File Format · · Score: 3, Informative

    Ptobably not, as Nikon has already responded violently and Adobe is a rich, proprietary company, who doesn't want people writing unlicensed support for the PSD, and doesn't like what's happened with PDFs.

    Atlanta was badly designed, it's city planning was done by the companies rather than a useful city overseer.

  6. Re:Diversity often is discrimination on Steve Ballmer Responds to Discrimination Issue · · Score: 0

    Living in Georgia, I can certainly affirm that this is the case, but I'd like to go further.

    The discrimination I see daily is inane. Black people are 100% treated different than white people, everywhere. And it's not always obvious, it's generally just this mindset thqat influences every little thing; "I need to not look racist!" This leads to treatment that is different than how white people are treated, i.e. racism. Quotas arn't even needed.

  7. Re:Liquids and Gasses are Fluids on Data Suggests Early Universe was Superfluid · · Score: 2, Informative

    Indeed, the definition of fluid also includes Plasmas and some plastic solids.

    The simple high-school chemistry definition is matter with no definite shape.

    Thats odd. I'm running XP Pro SP2 on an AMD64 and I use Photoshop CS daily.

    Most of that is simply sitting in vats of chemicals, physically making the Silicon ready to be turned into a processor.

  13. Re:April Fools! on Apple Releasing Home Media Center: iHome · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Also the 450GB HDD.

    AFAIK, last I checked a few months ago the largest standard harddrive in mass production was 500GB, and the notable one elss than that was 400GB. 450 doesn't make sense. 3 150GB platters?

    I believe that excluding a site just requires adding "-site:overstock.com"

  15. Re:Math Error? on BlueGene/L Puts the Hammer Down · · Score: 2, Informative

    I might fathom that the layout/grid computing data-flow arrangement might have as much, if not more, effect than the sheer number of processors when you're workong on something like that.

    It seems to me that since the device isn't complete the data management isn't working under optimal conditions.
