I would venture that a small minority of the /. crowd actually has an engineering degree. In any case, as bad as it can get here, compare the comments on here to the comments on, say, YouTube.

Before the discovery of radioactivity it was estimated that the Earth would only take 20MA to reach its current temperature from a fully molten state. So the internal heat is almost entirely radioactive, meaning that the degree of molten-ness depends mostly on composition, not square-cubiness. Also, exotic is when you use an endangered macaw not a chicken.

Just to be fair, the planned LTE networks that Verizon and AT&T are calling 4G don't meet the definition either. However, both WiMax and LTE have true 4G upgrades in the pipeline.

To be precise, the ratio of empty space to occupied space is increasing. Your shrinking is just a restatement of expansion from a different point of reference.

To literally screw NetApp would require some sort of giant screwdriver capable of rotating NetApp until it bored into a piece of wood.

Given that it's cryptocrome not chronochrome i'd say it means "hidden color".

I disagree. I didn't realize it until college, but physics without calculus is about is as satisfying as having someone describe a piece of music to you.

Exactly, can I demand an inspection every time I don't win?

Isn't the shuttle such an albatross precisely because reusability is so impractical?

Ketracel White?

Heh, you're wrong AND you're an asshole. Good job.

Exactly. About a decade ago I gave up PC gaming because I was sick of buying games only to find out my $299 computer wouldn't play them. I can pop any brand new game in my console and it just works. I find it hard to believe I'm having less fun in MW2 because it's only DX9.

Simple solution to the screen watching cheat - just accept it. It adds an interesting new element to the game. I remember back in the Halo 1 days the advantage would go to the players that could instantly glance and interpret what they saw.
