  6. Re:Probably not and here's why ... on Windows on Intel Macs - Yes or No? · · Score: 1

    ummm... VPC IS ON WINDOWS!!! and the port to X86 from ppc is not going to be a long one. I love how people form opinions based on a static world.

    And? When the power macs get moved over to Intel, they will probably be using EM64T chips.

  8. Re:Backwards compatability on Windows on Intel Macs - Yes or No? · · Score: 1

    ummmm... are you stupid? Compiling a program into Universal Binary has NOTHING to do with the BIOS/EFI.

    Dude.. VPC will run windows at only a small performance hit now that you have Intel hardware.

  11. Re:Totally fresh in programming on Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional · · Score: 1

    you don't learn anything about computer science from learning to program in a language, no matter how low level. CS is about theory, not about application.

  15. Re:Why is a warrant needed? on Senate Proposes Patriot Act Extension · · Score: 1

    Clinton worked within the law, Bush is not. The fact is that what Bush did is flatly illegal. If you want to say that Clinton did it too, then why did the Repuglicans bother impeaching him on a BJ? a FICA violation is a slam dunk.

  16. Re:Other presidents have done the same thing... on Senate Proposes Patriot Act Extension · · Score: 1

    No.. Other presidents have worked INSIDE FICA to execute physical and electronic searches. Even ECHELON was used within FICA when tracking people in the US who were tied to foreign powers (which include terrorists.) And, FICA allows retroactive approval of searches so there is no issue will speed. The AG can issue a directive to begin searches (which is what those executive orders are about) and then on 72 hours later they go and get the warrant.

  19. Re:Apple's going to take the lead just for trying. on Apple Adds New TV Shows To iTunes · · Score: 1

    really? lets say you enjoy 5 shows and never miss them. 26 episodes a season, 5*26 = 130 dollars. basic cable (we will assume the cheapest way to get MOST good shows) is about 40 bucks a month. 40*12 = 480 dollars. seems liek 2 bucks a show for TV quality is a steel, even at TV's lowest prices.

  20. Re:If it could only convery CO2 as well on Hydrogen-Emitting Microbe Examined · · Score: 1

    umm, retard, the bacterium has to get something out of the metabolization. The waste is H2, so unless it can directly metabolize CO2, in which case there are more efficient ways to get it, it is after the carbon and the O2 separately.

  25. Re:Einstein was still wrong about the constant tho on Einstein's Biggest Blunder That Wasn't · · Score: 1
