Hanzo commented on Dear New Circuit City CEO: Here's How To Fix Your Stores

"I realize that this will go unseen, but I figured I would chime in (late) with my two cents. Nearly a decade ago (it's been so long..) I worked for Circuit City."

Hanzo commented on When Things Get Crazy, Rumors Get Even Crazier

"I heard that most people don't actually need credit cards, and that in a stunning move the few megabankorporations have all agreed to axe the entire credit industry on October 1st. A major executive, speaking on the condition of anonymity had this to say: "Sure, it's a huge revenue stream loss, but we realized that most people are incapable of responsibly handling credit."

"Missed one Elaine.. Suck qualifies as well. On a related note: As a long time nails fan (all the halos, many vinyl, multiple attendances at every tour since Downward Spiral) I'm hopeful that Trent's "pushing the envelope" techniques pay big dividends."

Hanzo commented on Southwest Never Meant To Apologize To Doctor They Had Arrested

"Just to echo what a lot of others are saying: I fly quite a bit as part of my job, internationally upwards of a dozen times a year, and domestic a fair amount. I don't often fly SouthWest, but I've flown them recently, and I can say with absolute certainty I have *never*, *ever* heard the flight crew make any such announcement about the forward galley or cockpit door."

Windows doesn't use the *nix X client/server model, there are some very large differences that you've oversimplified or completely overlooked. Consider this: The Windows "core" operating system likely has a number of underpinnings designed to optimize the interface presentation."

Hanzo commented on Thermaltake's Xpressar PC Case Uses Actual Fridge Compressor For Cooling

"@Xavoc: Correct you are, I had one in fact. The company was called Kryotech, and their flagship (and AFAIK only) model was the "Super G" It was a stock AMD CPU overclocked to break the 1ghz barrier. It's been a long time, but IIRC it sucked down a *ton* of juice, and the internals left you with no real upgrade path."
