  1. Re:Evil Empire + Evil empire = Super Ultra Evil Li on Microsoft Sells Linux To Wal-Mart · · Score: 1

    But they should have a penguin logo to come with it. I can't wait to see it...

  2. Google is your friend... on Where Do You Go for Worthwhile Product Reviews? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Search in google the product you want to review then add the following phrase ", problems"

    I'm sure you would get all the bad side, then weigh which one of the products are the lesser evil :)

    sample query: iis, problems

  3. Re:Oh Noes! on Worldwide Games Industries See Major Growth · · Score: 2, Funny

    "If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent. -- Bette Davis"

    Here is the quote that displayed at the bottom when I browsed this article. It seems like Bette Davis begs to differ...

    Think of the parents!!!

  4. Re:You know what I love? on Microsoft Readies 360 Launch For China · · Score: 1

    I must be new here....

  5. Confusing article texts... on PCI SIG Releases PCIe 2.0 · · Score: 4, Informative

    The signalling rates are measured in GT/s not Gbps (correct me if I'm wrong). The new release doubles the current 2.5 GT/s to 5 GT/s. As a comparison, the 2.5 GT/s is about 500 MB/s bandwith per lane thus 16 GB/s in a 32 lane configuration.

    I tried to do the math but I just can't get it right with Gbps instead of GT/s.

  6. Re:Well it was 'just' a Beta on Google Deprecates SOAP API · · Score: 4, Informative

    ...not every other neat Google application. Maps is no longer in Beta as well as Google Earth and some other neat applications.

  7. Re:Crimes against the English Language on ISECOM's Top 10 Real Computer Crimes · · Score: 1

    I honestly exploded while reading it. Someone should really tag it with a warning right now because we don't want any conveyor belts stealing our airport security checkpoint. (reference #10)

  8. Re:encrypted data is printed on the passport anywa on E-Passport Cloned In Five Minutes · · Score: 1

    It might not be that big of a deal but the very idea is disturbing. Sure, one could get the data by hiring a pickpocket but that is more troublesome given the fact that the passport holder would surely know that his/her passport was missing and would give warnings/alerts to ensure that it would not be misused. But now, you only need to setup a clever RFID reader/scanner and just sit beside the person. That person would never know what hit him. If someone gets any data from one's passport, that doesn't necessarily mean they would use that to create another passport. Whatever is in that chip could be used for other purposes.

  10. Just Remove the Bugs on Scanners for Large Negatives? · · Score: 1

    No one would want a 50-meter bug hovering over their town. (or their face, depends on the image)

  11. Re:BWAHAHA! Beowulf cluster on Create Living Cells With an Inkjet Printer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Heed what other people say you must. Exist the perfect woman must not.

    the parent deserves to be modded up.

    CD's were black?

  14. Re:Does anyone in the US care about Ultraman? on 40 Years of Ultraman · · Score: 3, Funny

    I agree, Ultraman is ridiculously huge and in Japan you would see Ultraman everywhere especially when he is fighting those radioactive plants/worms/politicians(oops).

  15. Re:in other news on Microsoft Meets EU Antitrust Deadline · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's called a re-run, much like what the tv stations are doing everyday. Microsoft is just making sure we get the point and that we get it correctly because after all they did meet a deadline.

  16. Re:No Chance on Amazon Collapses Under Weight of 1,000 Xboxes · · Score: 1

    well, the article said it was sold out in 29 seconds.. so yes.. there is no chance...

  17. This is just a part of Large Hadron Collider on World's Largest Supercooled Magnet Activated · · Score: 5, Informative

    This was once featured on slashdot and for those confused, this is just a part of the world largest (longest) particle accelerator thing and one of the purposes of this huge facility is to generate small blackholes.

  18. Re:It's taking a long time on World's Largest Supercooled Magnet Activated · · Score: 1

    Now that it is functional, I doubt that those floppies would work now. I hope they made backups.

    I believe they would build a robot to do that job. Just give them time.

    well, just remember to purge the exhaust manifolds afterwards, check the deutrium reserve levels and recalibrate the deflector dish. (the latter one is extremely necessary)

    Thanks for the link, although I have not yet thought of synchronization with my devices much, I might as well try it now :) mod parent up

    So then, he must be reserved for that first civilian flight to the Moon along with the Congress.
