I enjoyed the first one. It was refreshing to have to cut off limbs instead of just dumping a clip into someones head. Strange and unusual visuals made it eye candy, or eye gore.

Talk about trimming the fat, the meat and gnawing on the bones. Die, die, die, die, extinction! Next thing you know it will be armoredgeddon. Group hug!

Who is us? I'm bootyful.

You're laughing now, but just wait until there are ocular implants that not only give better than 20/20 vision - but also have the ability to power a micro polarizing shutter, UV protection, and dimming via induction power. As long as you are sitting within several feet of an induction power...

Yes. Because I don't trust coworkers. *cough* Not that I necessarily think they would put an information stealing trojan in it (which is a high possiblity in a large corporate setting) But I think that they would probably do a pretty crappy job of putting in physically together. If I...

Whats up with all the death lately. Death of PC, die mouse, die myspace. Someone needs a hug.

And so, the prophecy is fulfilled. Intel finally gives in and admits they need outside help for its videochips. Years ago I expected this deal to go through, Years... What took you so long Intel? If you had only paid for ATi back in the day, AMD would probably be a squished bug... Oh...

Speaking of metals. This is probably a warning sign of things to come. Up here in Canada, we have moved our two dollar coin in 2011 (the Toonie) to plated steel. Meaning that it has about 0.58 cents worth of metal inside of it. A 1996 penny in Canada is worth about 2.4 cents worth of...

The eggplant and human one, you will have to use a web page translator for as its not in english (The US wasted all their money on thousands of nukes and making bigger and more nukes, that they completely missed the boat on genetics)

Its all coming soon. Splicing plasmids between humans and plants is a nightmare scenario, and yet when someone suggests that a lizard and human be spliced - they sort of smirk and laugh. The other one that I'd be wary of (not really a company persay) is the Hadron Collider. Oh sure, it...

And to add.. They want to cure aids and cancer by using eggplant plasmids. Yeah, thats gonna go over well. Humans that are 1% eggpant for extra disease resistance. No wonder the pope calls genetic engineering of this type a sin.

They should both be on the list. Monsanto is much, much larger than the Tomatofish maker however. Breeding plants that naturally produce pesticides is very disturbing.

That the Tomatofish was not sucessful, does not mean they did not make it. They did make the plant, but it ended up not being commercially viable (So goes the rumor that the cold weather resistance was not anywhere near what they were expecting) So it was scrapped before anyone had a...

Lucky you only had to pay it in dollars. Citi creditcard in Canada now moves to CIBC (Canadian IMPERIAL bank of commerce) Now I doubt Queen Elizabeth II will come over personally to lob the heads off 1.3 million Canadians for owing $200, but I'm not so sure about King Charles III. Imperial...

I would, but I can't. I fear the reaper.

Monsanto is the genetic modifier. Like using fish genes in a tomato, to create frost resistant tomatoes (so that we can grow them in northern Canada.) or if you want to be a conspiracy theorist, lizard genes into a human to create... Rep...ublicans! I was a Canadian with Citibank US for 15...

Dell tried to sue me. Seriously. Nov 9 ,2005. Got a gigantic package in the mail, it ended up being a stack of legal documents. I laminated the first page so I could show it to my grandkids that I survived a corporation (Like how others show their war medals) ;)

As a Canadian, I am wholly disappointed with the price of putting up a satellite. I mean jeez, if the US has really done so much into space flight and research - shouldn't it cost less than a half a billion to put a cars worth of weight into geostationary by now?

Not just that, the price is just plain out of whack.. Logistically impossible. One of the least expensive materials to use for internet connections is Copper. Copper is $3.65/pound in its raw state. Now, calucate how much poundage would be required to run that wire between two cities. It...

Impossible. I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying it can't be done. Up here in Canada, we are getting ready to buy $9 Billion worth of US made F-35s (65 to be exact) to protect Canada. Which is aslo Impossible. The landmass is just too huge, its gigantically ginormously huge. I...

Of course the US is self absorbed. And gasoline is 5 cents per gallon in Iraq (circa 2005) which is a little overpriced considering that its right under their feet. That the US didn't invade earlier, just underlines how self absorbed your average person is. Canada doesn't have a...

Nothing new here. Come to Calgary Alberta, 25% of our oil workers are Americans. That said, you guys are not cheap labour for sure. I'm pretty sure you are all up here to make sure the oil keeps onaflowing.

Well, it does nothing for compressed files. In fact - It just adds overhead. http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb305/philo-sofa/HD_TACH_SSD_LZ_SMALL.jpg Compression tends to result in somewhat erratic performance. Earlier firmware was not quite up to the task early on (back when the...

Put on flame suit: I think the current Sandforces are a little overrated. They do get their better write speed by compression. I never liked the idea of forced compression back when they started to do it for harddrives, and I still don't like the idea now. Indilinx are about 230 MB sec...

That CPU number is very high for "IDE" The only time I've seen percentages that high, is if you have somehow managed to revert to PIO mode instead of DMA mode (Technically DMA mode should require little if any CPU intervention for a majority of transferred data) I think you want to be...

Yeah, I just have an icon on the screen to run wiper.exe in XP for the equivalent of TRIM. I prefer it that way as you can force cleanup when you want to instead of letting the drive decide. I should probably create some sort of batch file where it will empty the recycle bin and do wiper.exe...

You don't *have* to use Win7. If you want to use WinXP (like me) all you have to do is make sure your sectors are aligned and set to 4K (probably NTFS) formatting. Most people forget to pre-align before formatting, it will still work, it just won't be at maximum speed. Disable AHCI if you...

To AHCI or not to AHCI that is the question. Personally I say don't bother with AHCI when using a SSD. As mentioned, the main benifit of AHCI was NCQ, which is useless for a SSD, as a matter of fact it might add a tiny bit of overhead as its trying to compensate for the deficiencies of a...

It used to be, when you wrote a serious article that you listed all of your references in a gigantic table at the back (of a book usually) sometimes taking as much at 1/20 of the written material. Nowadays, noone bothers to give props to the references. Its always been hard to copyright...

In unrelated news: Blockbuster was forced to delist a week ago in case you missed it.

Leave it up to the Nordics. Dutch people seem to scoff at restrictive laws. Heck, the Opium act pretty much sums it up. Arghh mateys!

You guys must be worried about Canada taking over. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGKwgmyEAJs Cameco will be selling 2,000 tonnes of Uranium to India each year as a "starter" package.

TN isn't all that bad anymore. If you happen to be more sensitive to colour intensity and not colour gradient, the difference between a WCG CCFL and a standard CCFL will be more of a percieved quality difference than IPS vs TN. WCG CCFL and IPS can actually create unrealistic day-glow...

CRT is still better for gaming, but I've since moved on to inferior LCD as well. LED is inferior to WCG-CCFL backlighing in LCD's. LED's are simply not capable of creating full spectrum light. It wasn't all that long ago that finding a blue LED was impossible. If its lit with multiple LEDs...

Nike Air Deshutz sport sandal. Velcro on expandable fabric, best design ever. Or, ultralight sealskin Mukluks - no need for laces.

Looong live XP. Its still a great gaming platform IMO.

As long as they bring money to me by the truckload, I say its all good. But I still prefer gold.

At least they aren't Citibank. I just got an updated fine print notice that I would be charged a fee if I don't use the credit card more frequently.

Sooo, when are they going to come out with a game where you thrust your hips.

127 GB is a very good size for a SSD to be. Its the WinXP (original) limitation on harddrive size. 2+TB is fine for an "extra" spinning harddrive for about $100 on which to store your media, and infrequently used data and maybe a few programs (which definitely does not need to be fast)...
