So you're saying Psychosis causes marijuana to grow? This is going to do wonders for the grow op I have in my basement.

Well I guess if they could do more with the new one that could be okay. Still there is much we don't know about the universe I'm sure there are other projects that could be more helpful to our understanding to it (or hell a dozen cheaper projects). We could probably build an interstellar space probe with that kind of money or send a human to mars or map the deepest reaches of the ocean or fund a shit load of research in any given field* the list could goes on.
*medicine, neural networks, quantum computing probably all of them and more.

Not only that but another multi-billion dollar project that humanity already has 2 of? Isn't there something else that would benefit the scientific community in a new and different way?

Why can't we just agree that the universe is ruled by some kind of pasta and coexist peacefully.

Really? Are we talking about the same VLC here? I've used VLC for 7 years almost everyday across multiple operating systems and versions (mostly Mac and Windows some Linux). I've probably seen it crash somewhere in the single digits usually because I was trying to make it do something it was meant to do.

Perhaps to get the cost of manufacturing the chips down.

It would probably be more helpful than hurtful if all bills had a 2 year waiting period before they can be passed. Sure some bad stuff would happen when we occasionally need something to be done quickly but it would give the people ample time to react to any bad bills like SOPA or The Patriot Act.

Take it easy on him at least he's suggesting that some of us may be having sex. I for one am flattered.

Obviously it's pointless for text we can read text fine on current generation displays the point is more detail.

I really don't think you've seen one of these displays in person. You can actually see the difference when there's higher PPI the size of the screen is irrelevant.

Really? I never thought I see the day where (non-troll) people on /. would fail to appreciate the value of a higher resolution display. I understand the "retina" marketing gimmick is bullshit but at least someone is pushing resolution beyond 1080p. I certainly hope we don't keep our current screen resolution as a standard for the web indefinitely. Some people are going to have to start adopting higher resolutions at some point.

Sounds like the perfect story for most of us /.ers.

He's doing Science and he's still alive.
He feels FANTASTIC and he's still alive.
While you're dying he'll be still alive.
And when you're dead he will be still alive.
Still alive
Still alive

I'm confused isn't that what happened with Vista?

You could vote for a third party your guy won't win but at least you can send a message. If you vote Republican or Democrat you're essentially saying you guys are doing a good enough job as it is.

I don't see why Kerfuffle shouldn't be used in the post title. It's a perfectly cromulent word.
