    Blame It on Mr. Rogers: Why Young Adults Feel So Entitled

    You were. Go find your least favorite teacher in high school. You know, the one that had been beaten down as was just counting the days until retirement. He's retired now and will be happy to tell you just how much a "c**ksucker" you and all your friends were. JHutch

    Question about cameras in movies

    Pretty easy. The camera *isn't* directly behind the actor. If it was, you'd have the actor's head in the middle of the shot (which would make for a boring shot). The camera is usually offset just enough to the side. The actor, in such a shot, is not seeing him/herself in the mirror, but...

    Well, my S@H RAC is going to drop sharply . . .

    On the bright side ... the power supply is usually one of the cheaper and easier things to replace (provided the case isn't some weird non-standard configuration ... in which case all bets are off). JHutch

    X1950XT (256 Meg) sufficient for Folding @ Home?

    The problem with the 256 MB cards (I have one myself) is there is a "pausing" bug that manifests. Basically every 15-30 seconds, your display with pause for a fraction of a second. Very annoying. Basically, if you want to sit down and play a game or do some serious work, you'll want to...

    2-2-07 Norovirus (Stomach Flu) sweeping U.S.

    George Carlin's take on being so anal about germs! I'm all for being clean and not sneezing on your neighbor ... but you Schadenfroh, are taking it WAY to far. :) JHutch

    Folding at Home GPU Client

    In my experience, the client is pretty solid (it cranks the heat on the chip, but it runs stable). However, it slows down overall system responsiveness on my machine. The CPU has to poll the card constantly and even though it isn't doing any heavy lifting, it uses an entire core on my core 2...

    Is it possible to run a 720p or 1080p video on an Ipod?

    Wrong. They have to be 640x480 max. Which is still smaller than the 720p and 1080p trailers.

    Water well below freezing point.

    Something else is going on. Either you are mistaken about how long the temperature had been that cold (ie, the water hadn't cooled down enough to freeze yet) or there was a heat source upstream raising the water temp (a natural spring source?). I've seen huge waterfalls completely frozen in...

    Muslim bashing sets off furor

    No, it wouldn't. Europe came out of the Dark Ages in a VERY large part due to the influence of Islam. (Read up on how the Crusades brought many new and radical ideas to a stagnate Christian world) JHutch

    How large would a plain text file be of the entire human genome?

    Are you sure you downloaded everything? Chromosome 1 is 273.78 MB alone. Chromosome 2 is 245.99 MB, etc ... Quick glance shows that each chromosome averages about 200MB. Plus there is a separate X and Y sequence. Quite a bit more than 400MB of data there... See...

    For the IO gurus

    Bassyhead is right about the DMA. That being said, with a P3/500, you are going to be limited by the bandwidth of the firecard, not the CPU. Everything is funneling back through a single firewire channel, which means that all the drives together can output far greater bandwidth than the FW...

    Can human-sex be transplanted ? :O

    I think he means: Can the human sexual reproductive system be transplanted/replaced by a completely new system (i.e., replace a man's reproductive system with a woman's)? Answer: No. Some parts can be replaced, but to get a functional whole that can mate and reproduce, no. (At least...

    Looking at the origin of the universe

    Ok, here is the real story. The universe is actually a great big ball. What we call the "big bang" was actually a huge guy (we'll call him Bill) took the ball and threw it towards another big guy (we'll guy him Bubba). As the ball left his hand, it slowed down as it went upwards in the arc...

    Americans saving less than nothing. Spending could outstrip income in 2005

    Just curious, but do those figures take into account 401k payments? In my case, my wife and I put over 10% of our pretax income into a 401k, which *I* count as savings, but I don't know if it counts for this article. If you don't count 401k, I ain't saving jack crap. JHutch

    is jedi's lightsaber possible to make?

    Ok, while this overall is a funny and light thread... this one was just too stupid to let pass. In the canon of the MOVIES, the force is not required to ignite a light saber. (Han uses one, remember?) That force is required bullshit is made up to explain why no one else carries around a...

    Polygamy poll.

    Justice Prevails: Disney Tigger Costume Employee aquitted of Fondling a 13 yr old during photo with her mother

    This was a criminal suit, not a civil suit. This means that the local district attorney was responsible for bringing this case to court. The frivilous lawsuit charge would be against the state, not the girl's mother. JHutch

    Is kerry pro-gun?

    I can agree that a gun will help you in a situation where the criminal is NOT armed with a gun and no shots are likely to be fired. But that wasn't the original argument. The original argument was that if I, as a law abiding citizen, didn't have a gun, I'd be at the mercy of the criminal who...

    Walmart:11-21-06 Wal-Mart slashes food prices in half ahead of Thanksgiving

    Actually, no. If those cases, the person was paid what the OTHERS in the union were worth, because the employer didn't want to lose the good people in order to get rid of one moron. A good union (which in my experience are few and far between) would have recognized that the good of the union...

    8-3-2004 Missouri residents Vote to Ban Same Sex Marriage - Now 5th Official Anti-Gay State

    Is kerry pro-gun?

    No, I don't carry a baseball bat around, but in a house full of kids, I'm more like to have something close at hand like a baseball bat than happen to be standing beside the gun cabinet. And the shooting myself in the foot was a joke. I didn't really mean people make a common habit of doing...

    Is kerry pro-gun?

    A baseball bat to the head of said sicko would work just as well... and no chance of shooting myself in the foot while cleaning it. You see, the scenario I always hear is that a gun-toting criminal (who would have the gun illegally if guns were outlawed), breaks into my house and threatens my...

    A riddle of sorts: You need to move up to 10 Gig of Data around the World...

    And a hard drive is probably the cheapest option once you take time and reliability into account. Heck, a secretary can perform a drag and drop and copy the 10 GB to a hard drive, then wrap it in bubble wrap and hand it to the cute UPS driver. No geeks needed. Now, if you want a different...

    why dosen't the earth slow down?

    Quick google search (I'm not this smart, but I can find quotes from people who are;) ) http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CE/CE011.html So, no, the Earth is not slowing by 2 seconds every 10 years. More like 1 second every 1000 years. JHutch

    How Many HDDs/RAID Arrays Is Too Many??

    What about the A64 chips prevents use in multiprocessor?

    What about the A64 chips prevents use in multiprocessor?

    I've been digging around here and there trying to find some information on why the Athlon64 cannot be used in a dual processor motherboard. I know the Opteron is "designed" for it, but I was wondering if there was a technical reason why it just isn't possible. JHutch
