  1. Re:Hypersonic weapons lead to nuclear war ? on War Tech the US, Russia, China and India All Want: Hypersonic Weapons · · Score: 1

    There is an opinion that Ukraine was a ticking time bomb since Ukrainian "independence" because of the black sea fleet, sevastopol base has been crucial to russian armed forces doctrine. Something had to happen there before 2017 anyhow. http://news.kievukraine.info/2...

  2. Re:Mission failed on Phobos-Grunt Launches To Retrieve a Sample of Phobos · · Score: 1

    it is yet unknown whether it is an engine problem or software glitch. if it's the latter, they will attempt to upload an updated version and send it off. main engine hasn't fired, so they still have fuel. however, they have only three days to find out the problem with software, batteries won't last for much longer.

  3. once something has happened no unhappening for you on College Papers Won't Rewrite History For Alumni · · Score: 4, Insightful

    isn't it obvious, that once something has happened it cannot be erased from history of this light cone? the only thing you could possibly do about events in your past is to provide an alternative version preferably as soon as this happened. i have plenty of record online under my real name, of course there are some things that are embarassing to me ages ago, but plenty of time has went past :)

  4. Broken unicode input for years on Adobe Releases C/C++ To Flash Compiler · · Score: 2, Interesting

    While I salute to new possibilities, Adobe Flash is still unusable for anyone who wants to allow Linux users to input anything other than english in their application. How about fixing http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-40 bug?

  5. Re:A slogan on Toshiba Builds Ultra-Small Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 3, Insightful

    there's no cleaner way to generate electricity than nuclear. shame that brainwashing of oil pushing pimps have been so successful.

  6. term "2.0" is a bigger threat on Is Web 2.0 A Bigger Threat Than Outsourcing? · · Score: 1

    please stop attaching 2.0 to everything. it is hurting more than outsourcing or automation.

  7. no ads please on The Semantic Web Going Mainstream · · Score: 4, Informative

    http://www.technologyreview.com/printer_friendly_article.aspx?id=19627 for those who don't want the ads
    but even without ads the article is very shallow. how is it "semantic" web exactly?

  8. sony is not the only option on Electronic Paper's Past and Future · · Score: 2, Informative
    I personally own an ukranian Jinke Hanlin (http://www.jinke.com.cn/Compagesql/English/index.asp) clone - Lbook (http://www.lbook.com.ua/).

    I have two models, V8 - which doesn't have an OS and runs on Epson cpu and V3 - that runs LINUX and runs on ARM 200mhz processor.

    Both are great. Both have MMC/SD card, no DRM. V3 can display PDF and DJVU files. Both have SDKs for you to tinker with. While V8 is very basic and you have to use ANSI C to code your things, V3 is somewhat more powerful.

    Nevertheless, as a reader, I prefer V8, because it has cover built in and an additional small display :) and I do most of my reading in FB2 and TXT.

  9. Re:Will Cost Big $$$ Likely on Adobe Releases Flex Builder Linux Alpha · · Score: 1

    actually you are wrong. flex claims to be open source and free unlike Flash.

  10. don't worry, check emule on Coppola Loses All His Data · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't worry, mate, It will be backed up very solid quite soon :) You will never lose it again. It will be as safe as it could be. (Unless you'll decide to purchase it and keep it private, of course)

  11. people never learn on MediaDefender and the Streisand Effect · · Score: 3, Insightful

    censorship is not possible on P2P. speaking of mediadefender, if they do in fact execute DDOS attacks, they are breaking more rules than they are trying to protect.

  12. Re:I just bought Colin McRae's Helicopter Rally on PS3 Rumble Controller Confirmed · · Score: 1

    you son of a bitch, humphrey. (c) cannibal the musical

  13. damn, i miss BBS and Fidonet on Robert Cailliau Talks With WikiNews · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I miss those times... Bulletin Board software, messages from strangers, file areas, +++ATH0, first multiplayer games...
    ps. i wonder how fast would WWW catch on if it was invented today. threat of national security? ;)

  14. Re:how many of them work after that time on The CD Turns 25 Today · · Score: 1

    i think that is the problem with DRM and all related copy denying schemes. if you cannot make copy of your asset, you will most likely use somebody elses at some stage. so many times i lost cds because of usage, RIAA should be happy ;)

  15. how many of them work after that time on The CD Turns 25 Today · · Score: 2, Interesting

    i wonder what percentage of cds released 20-25 years ago actually work nowdays :)

  16. quantum spin on German Physicists Claim Speed of Light Broken · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Doesn't quantum changing of spin happen faster than light would travel between two points? Does teleportation actually breaking speed of light? Otherwise why would it be called teleportation if it's just moving things (really) fast?

  17. if it draws power from external source on Perpetual Energy Machine Getting Lots of Attention · · Score: 1

    mister president, magnetic energy of earth has almost depleted. Without "so cheap" energy we are doomed to millennium of no electricity!

  18. analogy on Perpetual Energy Machine Getting Lots of Attention · · Score: 1

    "The only analogy I can give is if you had absolute proof that God wasn't real." That's the worst analogy you could have picked on so many levels. Ontopic wise: Perhaps we will find energy that costs next to nothing in short term and at the end of it's lifecycle has ever increasing prohibitive cost. Again. ducks
