    Why Don't We Shoot Garbage Into The Sun?

    No, the vast majority of the fuel burned goes toward accelerating the rocket to escape velocity. Starting from low orbit with zero velocity might save 10~15% of the fuel/mass.

    Converting Carbon Dioxide Into Batteries

    Pure Marketing Monkey idiocy. (And [H] clickbait - shame on the editors.) Unless they have some slick method for precipitating CO2 out of the exhaust gas, it will be vastly more cost efficient to make their batteries out of coal or petroleum residue, etc.

    FAA Puts 30-Mile ‘No Drone Zone’ into Effect for Super Bowl

    The ban affects all aircraft. With all the agricultural land surrounding the stadium, I only hope the patrolling F-16s don't blast some poor crop duster who didn't get the memo. Perhaps more to the point, any 'smart' drone can be programmed to fly a fixed route. There may be one stashed in a...

    500 Million ASUS Motherboards. The Celebration Starts at [H]. - Lucky Draw

    I recently bought an AM3 Asus, the M4A79XTD, so as to properly OC my old Thuban without fear of blowing up the FETs on the notoriously fragile MSI 870AG54. Back in the day, a K7V was the 'board of choice for OC my Slot A Athlon. I has a Golden Fingers connector and managed to be the first...

    Old athlon (k7) 750 or 1000 machine

    Donate it to a retirement home or other senior organization. You'd be surprised how many old folks want a basic machine to e-mail the grandkids.

    AMD Zen CPUs?

    Sure it does. A big fat GPU core is a waste of transistors that could be dedicated to bigger caches and/or more x86 cores. Look at the Kaveri chips; they waste over half the die on GPU units that are (A) too bandwidth starved to ever work well, and (B) will go unused the moment you install a...

    Yet Another Horrible Comcast Recorded Customer Service Call

    It's not easy living up to their #1 rating, but if anyone can manage, it's Comcast. http://consumerist.com/2014/04/08/congratulations-to-comcast-your-2014-worst-company-in-america/

    Back by Popular Demand: Vinyl Records

    Sometimes it is. Sometimes not. :rolleyes: Look what AC/DC's B-in-B album has suffered through over the years.... (In this case, I'll bet the most recent vinyl sounds a hell of a lot better than any thing else released in this century.)...

    Back by Popular Demand: Vinyl Records

    I'll agree that an old, well mastered, LP sounds VASTLY better than any dynamically crushed digital device or medium. But... Please don't confuse choice of data storage medium with the dynamic issue. Vinyl vs CD vs. 24/96 (etc.) has nothing to to with the asinine Loudness War. Indeed, I...

    'The Interview' Available Online Starting Today

    No kidding! Just watch the preview; the movie looks absolutely wretched! It's all about stupid, unlikeable people making 'stinky dick' jokes. I guess 'Tammy' wasn't rock bottom after all. :(

    Sony Pictures CEO Claims 'We Have Not Caved'

    No hand. Zero fucks are given. :) After watching the trailer, 'smelly dick' jokes and all, I want to personally thank Kim Jong-un for suppressing this depressingly stupid, vulgar film.

    ASUS Matrix OR Poseidon - CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON!

    Oh, Asus, Great and Mighty! During this season of giving, please show mercy toward my feeble HD3850 infested system! If you could please share but a small portion of your bountiful pixel shader treasures, I would be most grateful. Amen.
