  1. Re:an iphone that's missing 3g and edge on Turning an iPod Touch Into an iPhone · · Score: 1

    Same here. Kept one that I've had (a geeky transparent one that shows the circuit board inside) that a friend gave me maybe 15 years ago. Used it last month when the power went out for a day in bad weather.

  2. Re:A problem for AMD? on Intel Moves Up 32nm Production, Cuts 45nm · · Score: 1

    No, because Intel had 45nm before AMD had it.

  3. Horacio Gutierrez is also a pianist on Microsoft Agrees To License ActiveSync To Google · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ...a very good one. I'm sure it's a different Horacio Gutierrez.

  4. Re:That's my dream... on Nvidia Is Trying To Make an x86 Chip · · Score: 1

    Didja see the probabilistic chip story today? Just askin'.

  5. Re:Just reset your clock on Average User Only Runs 2 Apps, So Microsoft Will Charge For More · · Score: 1

    Almost correct. This is /. where we have to feed the grammar-Nazis (like me) from every so often so you should say,
    "I whoosh you wouldn't of said that."

  6. Re:Start with Basics... on Mathematics Reading List For High School Students? · · Score: 1

    Too bad my mod points expired...this was informative and funny!

  7. Re:Did I see on Financial Crisis Soundtrack · · Score: 1

    Ja. Do you want to touch my monkey?

  8. Re:Sweet! on Google Maps To Add 'Friend' GPS Tracking · · Score: 1

    That was in the context of an abusive relationship. Clearly, you need to get out of the basement and into an abusive relationship so you'll understand what it's all about.

  9. Re:Well, there goes my plan on Google Earth To Show Ocean Floor · · Score: 1

    Is that you, Michael Phelps?

  10. Re:Wrong bulbs on LED Lighting As Cheap As CFLs Invented · · Score: 1

    Where I live there are shall we say "political forces" that keep Walmart at bay. The nearest one is 20 miles away, and I don't make forty mile trips to buy things I can get nearby. I have had the problem with the CFLs taking some time to warm up and being quite dim before they do. I'll have to remember to pick up some of the GE bulbs when I do happen to be at a Walmart.

  11. Re:Wrong bulbs on LED Lighting As Cheap As CFLs Invented · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't live near a Wal-Mart (you insensitive clod, blah, blah, blah) and I generally buy CFLs at either Home Depot or Costco. At both stores, they have only one vendor of CFLs so your scheme won't work.

  12. Re:Oops on Microsoft To Kill Windows 7 Beta Februrary 10th · · Score: 1

    Just like that!

  13. Re:from TFA on AMD Phenom II Overclocked To 6.5GHz · · Score: 1

    "The GHz is how many hertz per second the CPU runs at"

    ORLY? Hz = 1/second so you're saying that GHz = 1/sec/sec = 1/sec^2. Sounds like acceleration. GHz is like a measure of acceleration. Neat.

  14. Re:Flawed theory on After Monty Python Goes YouTube, Big Jump In DVD Sales · · Score: 1

    Slashdot, home of the counter-anecdote!

  15. Re:Phantom power has it's use. on Energy Star Program Needs an Overhaul · · Score: 1

    and that's OK. Not every %@$#&! thing needs a clock built into it.

  16. Re:They have to.. on Possible Last-Minute Problems With Vista SP2 · · Score: 1

    Excremental?

  17. current method on Graphene Sheets Get Easier To Manufacture · · Score: 1

    I thought the preferred current method for making graphene sheets was peeling off pencil marks with a piece of Scotch tape.

  18. Re:I don't remember... on Coffee Can Reduce the Risk of Alzheimer's · · Score: 1

    Smoking, yes. Tobacco, no. (http://www.glaucoma.org/treating/medical_marijua.php)

  19. Re:But... on Wireless Internet Access Uses Visible Light, Not Radio Waves · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For a counter-example, that "real scientists" use, the Advanced Light Source (ALS) produces intense beams of extreme UV or soft X-rays. If you could look at one of those beams, you wouldn't see it, and you would probably not see anything else ever again either. Maybe "burnt to a crisp" *is* an example of human visual system response. Better work on your pedantry some more.

  20. This video... on Leaked Star Wars Battlefront III Footage · · Score: 1

    ...no longer available due to a copyright claim from Lucasfilm, Ltd.

  21. Re:Did I miss the news? on So Who's Running Apple Now? · · Score: 1

    Stock traders do not write news stories, or /. stories.

  22. Re:Comet viewing can be incredible... on Comet Lulin Is Moving Closer To Earth · · Score: 1

    What about those of us who served in submarines, you insensitive clod! Just kidding. I wish I had seen it that way. I saw from up in the Cascades in Oregon and took a decent (not good) long exposure photograph of it.

  23. Re:They're talking about address space on Panasonic Working On 2-Terabyte SD Cards · · Score: 1

    Actually, Intel IS working on 32nm CPUs, in their D1D fab. They're just not for sale yet.

  24. Re:I tried to watch some of his speech. on Ballmer Sets Loose Windows 7 Public Beta At CES · · Score: 1

    But it's better than Lotus Notes! I know...whooosh.

  25. Re:Funny... on Roland Piquepaille Dies · · Score: 1

    I'm willing to go out on a limb, and predict right here, in front of everyone - well OK a few hundred /. readers - that one day I am, in fact, going to die.
