Comment Bullroar (Score 1) 613

So not true, probably applies to machines with less than 4gb of ram. I have 8gb of ram in my machine, i usual have around ~5gb free at all times. So this is total bullshit. No one should have less than 4gb in a new PC these days anyways. There's a lot of dumb folks out there who only have 1gb of ram and then they complain that their computer is so slow, when 1gb was the ideal amount 6-7 years ago, but this is 2010, ram is cheap, people gotta get with the program.

I should have worded it a bit differently, what i mean its more of a possibility that the key ingredients to form those essential building blocks for life, may have come from elsewhere in the solar system/galaxy. One thing we know is our planet gets showered with meteorites on almost a daily basis, most of which are just so small we cant see them. Then again its know that earth used to have a sister and both collided to form our current earth, and the leftover debris is what formed our moon, its more possible that everything was on both these planets, just when they combined it created the right kind of "soup" to spawn life.

I think life came from space, and did not originate here on this planet. I have just come to accept that there is more at play than any human can understand at the moment, and probably won't be understood for a very long time. I also believe that all religions (in general) might have stemmed up from something else all together, someone passes a story on and changes it when he tells it to someone else, the process repeats itself until you have several different version of the same story (all religions have "a higher power" in common). Obviously something happened in human history that no one understood at all and that's where religion started, this is why i am not religious as i know its all baloney. No one is an idiot for having their own concepts, without different concepts or theories, well we would be lost.

Well the thought of the building blocks for life to have just "formed" on earth is too far fetched. This just helps solidify that earth was somehow seeded by meteorites long before life started and that is where life started up from i believe. It just makes more sense. Also once you do the math as to how many galaxies there are just in the visible portion of the sky, it just becomes even more realistic that we are not alone, but space is just so big that we pretty much are alone in our tiny sector of the Galaxy perhaps. Its like living out in the boonies where everyone house would be separated by 5 miles with trees in the way, just because you can't see their house, doesn't mean its not there, but just out of sight.

Not really, it can't do everything that a netbook could do, as a netbook could do everything aside from playing 3d games. After all windows is not locked the same way the ipad/iphone is. When the Iphones came out, i wanted to get one but then i was looking at a Samsung omnia (windows mobile) and i noticed it supported divx and mp3, everything that windows supports. So that's why i ended up getting a Win Mobile 6.1 device, and i personally have not had any problems with it, i upgraded its SD chip to 16gb and well the best thing about a Omnia is you are NOT limited to how you wish to use it, Mass storage anyone? Can't do that with an Iphone/Ipad/Ipod Touch, those are under the iron grip of apple, they don't want you doing whatever you want on their devices. To top it off i get to use Opera mobile browser 10, neener neener. Not safari, /vomit.

Comment 3D is annoying (Score 1) 145

I don't know about anyone else, but I do NOT want to wear any kind of glasses just to watch TV, especially shaded glasses. I would prefer to see them use existing technology to make 3DTV's that require no glasses at all. I have a fine tuned vision that i am used to, why obstruct my vision with lame shutter glasses?
