  1. Re:Microwave power transmission on Wireless Power Gets A Boost · · Score: 1

    Just remember in SimCity 2000 when the microwave beam (from the microwave power plant) missed and burnt down your city.

  2. You Should be Concerned on North Korea's Secret Biochemical Arsenal · · Score: 1

    As someone who works as a systems contractor destroying the U.S. chemical weapons stockpiles, I can tell you it doesn't take much of this stuff to take out large portions. Even if they don't achieve total lethality, they will permanently disable huge portions of the population should they perfect their ICBMs. I will make a prediction that if we ever get out of Iraq, it will be time for a second Korean war.

  3. Welcome Back Ma Bell on AT&T Offering Merger Concessions · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Wow, and to think the Antitrust suit from the 70's against AT&T was supposed to break up the monopoly. Now they are coming back strong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_break_up_of_AT%26 T.

  4. Re:Who still uses watches? on Making Time With the Watchmakers · · Score: 1

    Still replacing batteries eh? Time to get a solar watch, or one of the fancier (read more expensive) ones that charge while you move.

  5. Re:*Free* XP images? on Microsoft Makes Testing IE6 and 7 Easier · · Score: 1

    Too bad when I tried to update IE6 in the image to IE7, the installer told me it was not a "Genuine" copy of Windows, ha!

  6. My company is sure blah on Companies 'Blah' About Vista · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think the email I got from company IT support says it best, "While Windows Vista has many attractive new features, none represent a business imperative for [us] at this time."
