  1. Re:chemical reaction on Burning Ice Drilled from Alaska's Slope · · Score: 1

    you're half right. Plants undergo photosynthesis which converts Energy+H2O+CO2->O2+Glucose. However plants also undergo respiration, which converts O2+Glucose->CO2+H2O+Energy. Photosynthesis occurs at a faster rate, but respiration occurs constantly.

    I'm stealing that for my sig.

  3. Re:Lots of folks making the switch on Windows Expert Jumps Ship · · Score: 1

    Due to the way that OS X is designed, applications take up a decent amount of RAM. However the apple RAM is expensive for 2 GB. I would buy 1 GB, and then get 2 GB from somewhere else (I use crucial, and my 1 GB stick has yet to fail me)

  4. Re:Funny, I didn't Notice That... on Apple's Windows Apps Not Ready For Vista · · Score: 1

    I thought it would be like going to siberia and making a random person take a english proficiency test.

    Google maps has never been up to date. My high school, built in 2002, is apparently still under construction.

  6. Re:microsoft on Microsoft's Vista AV Fails Certification · · Score: 1

    A fairly decent amount of people run ClamAV. Granted, it scans windows viruses exclusively right now, but it's an AV program nonetheless.

  7. Re:Yet More Examples of Steve Jobs/Apple Arrogance on Verizon Rejected iPhone Deal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Better a stevetatorship than a verizonocracy, in my opinion. If not for steve's control, verizon would attempt to lock down as many features as possible. This from a 3-year verizon customer.

  15. Different experience for me on America's Worst Christmas Parties · · Score: 1

    I work at a family business, so although there isn't a christmas bonus, there's presents in it for me.
    Also, when I was manning the register yesterday, I happened notice that someone in the navy got a $100 gift credit card valid anywhere, and I heard from them that this was the first year they did this.

  23. Re:How can a nic speed up your online connection? on 'Killer' Network Card Actually Reduces Latency · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Speed != Latency.
    Latency is the time it takes to go from one object to another
    Speed is MB/S or some other equivalent measure
    If speed was latency, we'd hire freight trains to carry cars full of hard drives to the intended recipient rather than measly packets over wire.
