  1. Re:Nice on AMD's OpenCL Allows GPU Code To Run On X86 CPUs · · Score: -1, Troll

    Your 1080p h264 files are probably just shitty upscales of low quality divx files some weeaboo downloaded off of Share.

  2. Re:Sorry, No. on Tomorrow's Science Heroes? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Einstein's belief in God is what lead him to make his stupid "God doesn't play dice" comment. If one of the greatest scientific minds ever to exist can be crippled by religion, then I have good evidence science and religion are incompatible.

  3. Re:Hmmmm on Mayo Clinic Reports Dramatic Outcomes In Prostate Cancer Treatment · · Score: 1

    Normal cells do not reproduce indefinitely not because their DNA is breaking down, but because of checkpoints in the cell cycle. In cancerous cells, these checkpoints fail because of problems such as the overexpression of oncogenes or the underexpression of tumor suppressors.

  4. Re:Hmmm.. on Ray Bradbury Loves Libraries, Hates the Internet · · Score: 0, Troll

    The advantage of published books is that someone has already screened most of the crap and I don't have to see it. Except when someone drops the ball and lets something like Wide Sargasso Sea through. Anyway, I'm going to happily maintain my standards. You can recognize goatse.cx as art if you want to keep up your trendy relativism.

    It is a sad day when bad fanfiction and AMVs are considered "art and culture."

    In the same time period, China has also conquered and displaced the natives of Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. The parts of Southern China formerly occupied by the Miao were conquered and settled by Han Chinese a bit earlier.

    Open sores software just proves his point.

  9. Re:Get Ready for another headline on Royal Society of Chemistry Slams UK Exam Standards · · Score: 1

    I didn't find HL Math very useful, but that was probably because I had a horrible teacher, and it doesn't fit in well with the normal American math curriculum. On the other hand, if you're going for a degree in physics, the IB Physics Higher Level course will not be very useful. It's not at all comparable to the AP Physics C course. HL Chemistry was not as bad as Physics, but not great either.

    The French Baccalaureate is not the same as the International Baccalaureate. (Although, having complete the IB program, I do not have many good things to say about it's science standards and offerings.)

    That's because Linux users commit more serious crimes.

    Owning a mac will make you gay. If you install linux, you'll never get laid again, but at least you won't have burly men raping your ass.

    Untrue. Almost everyone wants wants an ideological echo chamber these days. For half the population that's the NY Times and for other its Fox News.

  16. George Joos on Book Recommendations For Maths To Astrophysics? · · Score: 1

    I think the best overview for you would be George Joos' Theoretical Physics. It's very mathematically based and provides a comprehensive overview of most undergraduate material.

    Completely right. Actually, the Dacia Logan the GP uses as an example is actually becoming very popular in France, not just the less developed markets it was designed for.

  20. Re:Overreactions on Geohashing Meets an Angry Rancher With Firearms · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You're talking to the wrong audience here. Those clowns are nerds. They're cowards. They are mortally afraid of firearms because they are terribly scared of (SHOCK! HORROR!) being hurt by someone. And yet, not a day passes that they don't imagine themselves as some gun-toting hero from some stupid FPS. But they know full well that they could never, ever, stomach to be in a REAL rebellion. They would shit their pants. They would cower. That's why they hate you. That's why they put down anyone with a practical mind. Because they remind them of their own inadequacy. Ignore them. Life has beaten them up. Their faces still smell of shit.

  21. Re:See guys! on France's Citizens Expected to Help Build Internet Blacklist · · Score: 1

    Maybe lynched, but imprisonment is unlikely. At most the government might check up on you to see if you were actually building bombs or directing terrorist attacks. If I wanted to, I could buy the anarchist cookbook. I bought a copy of Islam and Revolution. The US is pretty good at protecting free speech.

  22. Hans on Hans Reiser To Reveal Location of Wife's Body · · Score: 1

    Fast on the heels of Ballmer's tantrums and chair throwing, the BSD community was today wracked again by the borderline personality disorders and rageaholics that permeate the open source movement. Theo De Raadt, founder of the Open BSD Brigade, in an apparent fit of anger, threw his fist through a wall as he was cussing out an acolyte of Chairman Richard Stallman, leader of the competing marxist organization, the Free Stalin Foundation. Hans Reiser, an open source maven who murdered his wife in cold blood, commented from prison that open source programmers had no abnormal personality problems, and were all "very smart people, very intelligent." Eric Raymon, fresh from a trip to the Paul Revere Institute Convention and Bondage Festival in Las Vegas, echoed these comments: "What the world doesn't understand, is that we are geniuses. There is nothing wrong with using strong language to intimidate idiotarians and freedom hating anti-gun liberazis". Steve Jobs, emerging from a meditation chamber in his northern california home, opined that "he would fire half his open source staff" that night, as they had failed to properly implement a bitwise portrait of the mona lisa on the back of the motherboard for the new Apple Yojimbo motherboard family, slated to debut this fall. The BeOS developers, currently washing dishes at a Sacramento Olive Garden, had the following comments: "Yeah, we are kinda bummed that we lost all that money. But frankly, I'm kind of glad to be done with those freaks. Apple, Microsoft, Lunix, what a bunch of creeps and sociopaths." Echoed his boss "Johnny called in sick so I need you to work late tonight, is that OK?"

    Regardless of whether people play the actual games he created, the franchises will still be going strong in 50 years. Nintendo's never going to stop making Zelda and Mario games.

  24. Re:How does this make sense? on French Judge Orders Refund For Pre-Installed XP · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why is a car considered a single product, while a computer including an operating system is not? The computer is pretty useless without an operating system. This law is stupid because if consistently applied it would lead to unbelievably absurd outcomes.
