    Oh that sounds real pleasant.

  2. here to stay on Wii, DS Dominate February Hardware Sales · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Looks like nintendo is here to stay. The cheap console moved seemed like an act of desperation, but now it seems like sony and microsoft are the desperate ones. Nintendo may bury them yet.

  3. cheaper space probes on High Schooler Is Awarded $100,000 For Research · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Strap this thing on a rocket. $500 million to send a probe to mars? I bet we could do it for $250,000, maybe be less if it leaves on a tuesday.

  4. paper on Wikipedia Creator Working On Online Gaming Mag · · Score: 1

    They going to print think?

  5. google 2015 on Ballmer Says Google's Growth Is 'Insane' · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wait till google gets into the operating system business, then youll hear some whining.

  6. so on NASA Optimistic About Fuel Tank Repairs · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should store the shuttle and tanks indoors.

  7. industry standard on NPR Takes First Step To Fight Internet Royalties · · Score: 1

    Appealing to an industry controlled board isnt going to accomplish anything. Not for the little guy. NPR might catch a break, thats about it.

  8. wow on Red Hat Releases Enterprise Linux 5 · · Score: 4, Funny

    A new release already, seems like just yesterday they released one.

  10. Crystal Space on Summer of Code Student Applications Now Open · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Crystal Space is on the list. Its an open source 3D/game engine. Cant wait till this is done and ported to some consoles.

  11. its a bank on Novell Assents To "Windows Is Cheaper Than Linux" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is coming from a bank. They probably spent ridiculous amounts of money verifying linux is secure. They probably take microsofts word for it.

  12. Re:Cant we just eat corn as it was created by natu on Genetically Modified Maize Is Toxic — Greenpeace · · Score: 1

    Just don't claim that 'non-GM' corn is 'as nature intended'. It just took humans longer to modify it.

    Slow is good. That is how symbiotic relationships like these are supposed to develop.

  13. Phew on Genetically Modified Maize Is Toxic — Greenpeace · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well good thing this didnt happen with a huge crop like corn. Why if that happened and it mixed with our natural corn we could be in a lot of trouble. Thank god no one eats maize anymore.

  14. Re:Hinder? They can't even keep up on Economic Impact of Tech Understated, Study Says · · Score: 1

    I don't think they really have to worry about government hindering the advance of technology. If one government tries to, the advances will just take place somewhere else.

    Which is bad for us here in the USA. I can't think of one country thats catching up though. Has China even invented One-Click shopping yet?

  15. 1980 on Germany Rejects Microsoft FAT Patent · · Score: 1

    Are they ruling on the oldest patents first? Its going to take a long time to reject all 6,000.

  19. Re:gghz on Researchers Building Computers That Run on Light · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wouldn't a billion-billionth of a second be one second? I would have said billionth of a billionth if I didn't want to use an uncommonly large prefix.

    A billion-billionths of a second = 1 second.

  20. gghz on Researchers Building Computers That Run on Light · · Score: 1

    billion-billionth of a second

    So whats that a giga-gigahertz?

    For Draft Certified equipment to appear? Isn't that kind of an oxymoron?

    SELinux is a project started and actively maintained by the U.S Department of Defense

    Why is the Government selling Linux?
