    Please baby, look I know we have had our bad times, but all this friction with these studies are driving us apart. I love you with all my kernal, I/O and DOS, but it's over. I can't continue seeing you, my dady Bill hates you, and there's nothing I can do. If you weren't such a slut (you got passed around freely, without even collecting a dime), maybe things could be different.

    Yours truly and forever, Windows.

    For all the geeks here, that's called a love letter.

    ...come to the conclusion that I do not need or want an Xbox 360. 1. In about 6 months, a $250 gfx card will give you comparable power to the Xbox 360. Nvidia 6800gt anyone? Albeit you'll need a good cpu and plenty of ram (which i already have) 2. I already spent $1000 on my gaming rig, and that was only a year ago. 3. PC games are higher res and have more Anti aliasing options(16X compared to the Xbox's 2x). 4. I'd rather not pay a monthly fee so a bunch of 8 year olds can curse me off. 5. The hype is so irritating, sure it's a cool new game console, but people need to calm the hell down. I bet that some people would be less excited about a scientist curing cancer, than they are for this new Xbox. 6. I enjoy a wide range of games, fps, rts, tbs, rpg and so forth. 7. I would rather not spend $2000+ on an HD TV, when I already have a 21 inch 1600.1200 monitor for my computer.

    That's kind of like that epidemiologist saying "the deaths from the bird flu could range from 5 to 150 million"

  14. Marketing ploy. on Hyperthreading Hurts Server Performance? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't want to start a flamewar, but everytime I see an Intel commercial when the announcer says "pentium 4 with ht technology", it sounds like a stupid marketing ploy. It's suppose to offer better performance in heavily threaded apps, but apparently it doesn't. Also, in the commercials, it never explains to the customer what HT is, which just shows that if they had a great piece of technology, they would atleast take 10 seconds to explain the benefits, but they never do. They say a catch phrase, and that's really what it all seems to boil down to.

  15. Sick on The Real Reason Behind iTMS Tiered Pricing · · Score: 1

    Seriously, even reading about this for 30 seconds made me sick to my stomach. It's not really a suprise to me that the record excects would plan for this sort of douchiness; however, but it was still revealing for me. Rise up inde musicians, rise up!

  16. I actually.. on Mad Scientist Invents Colored Bubbles · · Score: 5, Funny
    am a subscriber to popular science, so I read this article about a week ago. In the article it was kind of silly, because it was in the section of the "best of 2005", along with a super-advanced bionic arm, and the like. While it's a cool idea, it isn't even practical or useful (even as a form of entertainment). Here's how I think it went:

    Scientist 1 "Haha! I have done it!"

    Scientist 2 "What? Cured cancer...AIDS!?"

    Scientist 1 "No, much better!"

    Scientist 2 "Really? OMG What is it?!"

    Scientist 1 "I have created..... the first coloured bubble!!!"

    Scientist 1 "True, but look at the pretty colours!"

    Why a company (google or whomever), doesn't give free wifi to a whole state. Take New Jersey for example, highest population per square mile, 1030 to be exact. Which is 13 times the national average. Instead they're giving free wifi to cotton plant Arkansas (or similar places).

  25. Hey ZDNet... on Mac OS X x86 Put To The Test · · Score: 5, Interesting
    ...You know it's illegal to install Mac osX on non-mac hardware, so why are you doing it!

    When I was looking up tutorials online for this, I always found "It is completely illegal to install Mac os X on any old x86 machine, take no responcibility for your actions"

    Then obviously they installed it on their computers (and probably downloaded the dvd img from bittorrent), and they act like they never did it. I understand they are trying to protect themselves by giving you a warning, but they have photographic proof that they did something that they shouldn't have. Seems silly to me.
