  1. Re:A better way? on Russia Builds World's Largest Nuclear Powered Ice-Breaker · · Score: 2, Funny

    A nuclear-powered ship is only efficient at this small scale ice breaking. For a more permanent solution regarding the availability of the northern routes, I suggest that we burn more coal on a global scale.

    Also this guy have some and he's not sure what to do with it. They could also have brunch or something.

  3. Re:Korea? Wich Korea? on YouTube Disables Comments and User Uploads For Korean Users · · Score: 1

    No you are mistaken, North Korea is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The one in the south is the Republic of Korea which doesn't have Democracy in its name. This is really obvious.

  4. Re:Blizzard is horrible on Sony Blames 'External Intrusion' For Lengthy PSN Outage · · Score: 1

    Well I could at least understand the region locking of Blizzard. Latency is not really a friend of WoW or SC2 and would hurt their matchmaking process. To their credit, we at SEA got US accounts also sometime after the release of SC2. For some reason, I have better latencies to US than to SEA. Maybe they realized that and allowed it.

  5. Re:Not so bad to have different systems. on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    Well here in the Philippines, we kinda use both because of the influence of USA and the rest of the world. We had quite adopted to both systems well. For long distances we use kilometers, meters are preferred over yards, inches are preferred over centimeters, millimeters are preferred below that. We use liters for both container trucks and "coke-bottle" sized volumes, anything between it are gallons (e.g.5 gallon water dispensers), other than that milliliter is preferred (ml) although items do have ounces in them too. Kilogram is preferred over pounds except on body measurements. Etc.. etc...

    The thing is that we are kinda good in dealing with these measurements and their conversions in our head.

    Fuck! (yes we do use Imperial swear words, French SI swear words didn't catch on)

  6. Re:Usage caps on OnLive Latency Tested · · Score: 1

    I for one wants OnLive to succeed. It would be almost like how MMO games "provided" us DSL back then. (at least in our country) This would provide faster broadband services although ISP's could just jack the prices up for these "premium" services instead. The latter is what I fear would probably happen.

    But this one takes about 2 weeks to go around Alaska, stopping by the scenic routes along the way.

  9. Re:Trolls. Everywhere. on Cleaner Air Could Speed Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Come to think of it, it could be bad for us but not for the planet since it had been worse before.

    I've found a beautiful explanation for this ...

    I see that you finally had realized the need for a rocket-powered ejection seat.

  18. Re:What a lot of work. on Scalpers Earned $25M Gaming Online Ticket Sellers · · Score: 2, Informative

    They are an unnecessary middle man. In line with your comparison, they are hoarding the goods from the ones selling to individuals themselves then raise the price because they now have most of the supply.

  21. Re:Digikam on Raw Therapee 3 Is Now Free Software · · Score: 1

    You had been missing much then :D ... One of my hobbies is photography and I'm using Linux in my home desktop and RawTherapee is GOD-SENT (all caps for awesomeness).

    I just hope this would be for the better of RAWTherapee, if you read various reviews from photography websites, this is almost on par and outperforms commercial versions like Lightroom in certain areas. The batch processing is somewhat lacking but I'm hoping someone would now tackle that.

    It can be explained, consider a spherical dragonfly in a vacuum...

  23. Re:Euh, Atom 330? on Intel's New Atom D510 Benchmark Tested · · Score: 1

    Maybe you had a defective one. I bought one a month ago to replace an aging home desktop and installed Linux Mint on it. Works like charm for the family's surfing needs, Facebook works, flash games works, youtube works, everything aside from 3D games.

    What I noticed at first though that it would often lock up after 15 minutes or so and the screen would go corrupt. It was the know fan/heat issues on this one so I got myself a smaller casing (one made for Atom), bought a better GPU fan, replaced the thermal paste on both CPU and GPU heatsinks, cannibalized a heatsink from an old video card and glued it a little over the other exposed motherboard chip and it had worked like charm ever since.

  24. Re:An ocean? Antartica? on The Social Difficulty of Saving Earth From an Asteroid · · Score: 1

    I RTFA and it seems that asteroids each follow their own risk corridors (a path of possible impact points) so unpopulated areas are not always an option. The ocean is a more favored place to deflect it but it could produce giant tsunamis that might cause more casualties than a land impact. (either one would be devastating anyway)

  25. Re:Link? on Pirates as a Marketplace · · Score: 3, Funny

    So that's how you turn a /.er to a RTFA type.
