    But yes I was about to say the same thing but you beat me, physics does have a lot of things to say about our fanciful notions.

  2. Re:ffmpeg on Which Open Source Video Apps Use SMP Effectively? · · Score: 4, Informative

    If I may offer a suggestion, I'm not too sure on what your setup is but on mine I have 2 DVD drives each on separate IDE buses and 2 SATA drives (also on separate buses) rip from the DVD to drive 1 and encode from drive 1 to 2. OF course it all depends on a variety of factors but using that certainly helped that.

  3. Re:The more I read the less I know... on SF Admin Gives Up Keys To Hijacked City Network · · Score: 1

    Maybe because the low budget ones have something to prove, I hear stories all the time of high budget actors showing up late (or not at all) on the set drunk and stoned out of their mind.

  4. Re:Scuba Gear? on Floating Cities On Venus · · Score: 1

    I'd be careful with that, if you try "taking it out of your pants" on Venus, you will very quickly find you have nothing TO take out of your pants.

    Much better to try it on Uranus. *ducks and runs*

    Isn't that what it's like in the states right now? At least that's how the rest of the world sees it.

  6. Re:Scuba Gear? on Floating Cities On Venus · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The suit doesn't need to withstand excessively high or low pressures, it just needs to cover you with something that wont react with the sulfuric acid and provide air. Think of a full body SCUBA suit, no good for work in space but assuming it's made out of the right materials would be quite handy for work on Venus.

    Right because endangering a candidates life is so much better then simply stealing away their votes.

    Seriously! The less politicians we have the better, I say we distribute a spiked bat to every candidate and let them sort it out amongst themselves.

  9. Re:Stocks fall on AMD Loses $1.2 Billion and Its CEO · · Score: 1

    Essentially when a stock reaches zero it means that the company as a whole is worth nothing. IT has no assets, no employees, no IP and no product. It would be nothing but a record in the governments books. When a company goes under (at least in theory) It's assets would be liquidated, likely at an auction, and the money handed over the its debtors and then its shareholders. \\

    Wouldn't it be more important to run your antivirus on your codecs before installing?

    Even better idea, Install VLC and CCCP and if it wont play with either of those then you probably don't want to watch it anyways.

  11. Re:Close to what they should have done on Hack a Million Systems and Earn a Job · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hmm if I believe that it is stated in one of the fables of hackerdom that a hacker will be miserable and unproductive when forced to work 9 till 5 but will happily work from 12 till 2 AM. Perhaps forcing someone to do something they would gladly do of their own free will makes things worse for everyone.

  12. Re:Lagrange Points? on Send the ISS To the Moon · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Becuase boosting the ISS to L1 require only slightly less energy then boosting it to the moon, and then on top of that you have to keep on making small adjustments to hold it there since only L4 and L5 actually attract objects into them. And finally for the aforementioned reason you're still going to have a bitch of a time getting supplies to the station.

  13. Re:Oblig. Simpsons on Boeing-Skyhook Airship Faces Technical Challenges · · Score: 1

    Flying a jet liner into a full on anvil cloud (aka Cumulonimbus ) is a sure fire way to lose your job and your license, all the pilot training I've ever done concerning those clouds was very simple, you never EVER fly into them shooting yourself in the head with a gun will give you a better survival chance then flying a small plane into one and I imagine that large planes wont fair much better. The winds and the icing conditions will simply toss a plane around likely ripping important bits off (like wings) and coat what's left with ice.

  14. Re:Oblig. Simpsons on Boeing-Skyhook Airship Faces Technical Challenges · · Score: 1

    Sort of, at least in Canada filing a flight plan is only required in controlled airspace out side of controlled air space you are free to do as you wish SO LONG as you do not violate any air laws in the process such as altitude limits and acrobatic maneuvers. It's still highly recommended that you file a flight plan and at least try to stick close to it, that way if anything goers wrong and you don't check in they have a rough idea of where to look for you.

    Yes, but it would use the unholy letters of the dark lord himself, and bring death and destruction upon any man who gazed upon its ghastly source.

    Well in a few years it'll be time to replace switches, after all technology does get obsolete nad parts do break. so when that time comes then perhaps they will replace them with these nifty new switches.

  19. Re:Good riddance to bad advocate on Referee Recommends Disbarment For Jack Thompson · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Have to agree with you on the not burn up part. But I'm kind of iffy on bumping into the ISS part. Assuming the shove was retrograde you would find your perigee to be slight slower then the ISS and your orbit slightly more eccentric so what would happen is that you would continue to distance yourself from the ISS at a rate nearly equal to the rate at which you were shoved. Many many orbits later you would find yourself bumping back into the ISS but the amount of time it would take for that means that something else would have likely disturbed your orbit (likely atmospheric drag) and you would burn up.

    Of course you would run out of Oxygen before any of this happens though. Other then that a good analogy.

    AC because of mod points.

    And then your registrar will take you down.

    And the police will arrest you if you walk around with billboards say that niggers are proof of gays and donkeys having sex.

    Also, no one will see your blog postings if you're not on one of the big sites.

    And no one will listen to you if you stand on a street corner and yell.

    Actually you have it easier on the internet, We certainly have proof that registrars care very little of the content of the domains they oversee. And online you don't need to be actively exclaiming your version of the word of god for people to see it.

  22. Re:Ha! See! I told you! on Ray Gun Puts Voices Inside Your Head · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's that a large number of the people that listen to their music at parties, concerts, and through car audio systems actually *want* others to hear their music. When played loudly, it's just basically, a childish/immature behavior to impose/force their taste in music upon others (neighbors, etc)...

    Did somebody have to spend a childhood in their moms basement while the neighbors threw a party that they weren't invited to? Yes I think so.

  23. Re:So, the Bush Administration WAS RIGHT !! on 550 Metric Tons of Uranium Removed From Iraq · · Score: 1

    Actually mine was meant to be joke as well, I just forgot to add in "(politicians)" at the end. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

    Although going by the "mean" average it does mean that a few very low scores could skew the result towards the low end, I'm not saying this is the case just that it could be.

    Well in the BC we ensure a health supply of marijuana for the rest of world (but then smoke it before anybody can take it away) In the prairies we produce wheat and oil which we then sell to the states. (but then buy back from them at inflated prices) In Ontario we stockpile all our stressed out high blood pressure businessmen. In the Maritimes we sing jolly tunes paint our houses bright colors and every so often go out and catch a few fish. Finally up north we mine all sorts of minerals and let the US setup radar stations in case those commies ever do decide to fire off some nukes.
