  1. Re:Energy and Matter and Gravity on Gravitational Wave Detection Imminent? · · Score: 1

    Keep patting yourself on the ass over your latest and greatest insults and demeaning comments, but after reading your "insight", it becomes startingly clear that a bloke such as yourself should RELAX. Honestly man, if you're smart enough to get a doctorate, you're smart enough to learn how to behave yourself. Not everyone is coming from the same place here.

    Yes!! Just imagine, 10x the resolution on 212 conveinient blu-ray discs!

    If you "cheat" on your wife, should they try to fire you at your job too?

    A 1.42GHz G4 machine is the slowest computer you've ever used? How old are you, 12?

    I'm on a 1.25GHz powerbook right now, and it suits me fine for real-time audio and video procesisng, as well as some mild gaming. What are you doing with it, playing Doom 3?

    Mmmm... I like your signature. Clever.

    Go ahead, mod me offtopic! I like it!!

  8. article is -1 IDIOTIC on World's Most Powerful Subwoofer · · Score: 1

    ALL drivers can produce 1Hz. Even the smallest tweeter. The question is how many DECIBELS at a certain DISTANCE it produces at that frequency.

    That said, A LOT of music has frequencies below 20Hz, and if you don't reproduce them AT ALL, you're missing out on some of the FEEL of the music (you can't hear it, but you sure as hell can feel 10-15Hz).

    That said, this is still a STUPID product.

    I figured that if I CAPTIALIZED some of my WORDS, people might get a CLUE.

  9. Re:$13,000 on World's Most Powerful Subwoofer · · Score: 1

    Any credible loudspeaker system will and does produce sounds below the threshold of human hearing. They'd be rather unexciting if they didn't actually.

    No honestly, there is a good reason for such frequencies to be reproduced, but I'm too tired to explain... Someone else handle this please...

  10. Re:Why not? I'll tell you why not. on OpenBSD 3.8 Released · · Score: 1

    Provided they printed out the instructions it is very easy. Just a few keypresses. As for the partitioning, it is the same thing with Ubuntu: If they don't want to wipe the whole drive, it gets rather tricky.

    Okay, perhaps not *as* easy... but certainly easy enough!

    What are you talking about? The install is a piece of cake! No harder than Ubuntu for crying out loud...

    Bullshit -- I can modify it (regardless of what the EULA says), and just as importantly, SELL IT. Try doing that with leased software.

  13. This is getting insane on Google And IBM Team Up Search Technology · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has to worry about Google? Why, because Google makes money off of ad revenue? And, er, ad revenue? Microsoft is a giant with its hands in a LOT of things. A lot of very PROFITABLE things. So far, Google has shown no real way of even sustaining itself. I'm not saying it won't happen, but it certainly hasn't yet. Honestly though, things like Linux and FOSS are FAR more thretening to Microsoft, and even that is a huge longshot. Microsoft is a giant, and the only thing going to bring down Microsoft is Microsoft itself. Please stop with the Google worship -- Yes, they do cool stuff, but they're not taking down Microsoft anytime soon.

    Ubuntu is a real word -- Just a word from a language much different than yours. Mandriva sounds like some marketing department derived crap. Come on... "Windows Mandriva". You know you can see it.
