    I hear there are good replacement monocles located in models of lighthouses...

  2. Re:Does your home still meet safety codes? on Home Power Monitoring Hack · · Score: 1

    I seriously doubt that you actually read the article. Clipping on transducers wasn't the only thing he did. He also wired up another breaker panel on the inside of the garage.

  3. Re:T-Rex Stem Cells? on Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Fossil · · Score: 1

    Bush didn't outlaw stem cell research, he just eliminated government funding of new lines.

  4. Re:serpentine movement suggestion on OmniTread: A serpentine robot · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It is efficient in several ways:

    - Eliminates complicated gearing

    - Every part that can come in contact with a surface has full torque

    And when you are tethered to a cable anyways, and not run on battery power, you probably don't have to worry as much about efficiency.

  5. Re:Or in other words... on Kazaa Outed Over 'Trust Fund' for Red Cross · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    But a post starts of at 1, and the mods can very well deem that the starting rating of 1 is overated, and mod that post down.

  7. Re:I am NEVER going to get caught up... on The Ultimate All-In-One Storage Solution · · Score: 1

    Every simsons episode only ammounts to about 50 GB as mpeg VCD quality. I assume you are wanting HD quality and then you'd probably be able to fill it.

  8. Re:So the question is on Microsoft Source Follow-Up · · Score: 1

    If you had actually read the article you would have seen the line:
    References to MainWin can also be found throughout the leaked source files, which do not compile into a usable form of Windows.
    which clearly states that some had at least atempted to compile it.

  9. I don't see much news here... on FCC Proposes Fining AT&T Over DNC Violation · · Score: 1

    Law was passed saying don't call people on the DNC list, or get a $10,000 fine. AT&T repeatedly called people on the list, AT&T gets fined. What could be simpler?

    That sounds about right, it must be magic that holds the space shuttle together and keeping it from evaporating, since such a vacuum would evaporate anything!

    The rolling blackouts were planned to start at 4pm, but the blackouts were held off for a bit, and around 5:30 it was annouced that there will be no rolling outages. Thanks to slashdot for reporting the story about 4 hours late.

  22. Re:I need 800GB's and 16,000 RPM. on A Look At the Fastest IDE Drive Yet · · Score: 1

    Simply because its holographic? Last time I saw, they were still moving a laser around to read it. Sure it will be faster if you are reading sectors next to each other, but when you have to move the laser across the disk, or wait for the disk to spin around to where you can read it the time will quickly add up.

  25. I live in the Silicon Valley, Not many complaints on I Want to Blow Up Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    I live in Sunnyvale, Right between San Jose and Mountain View. I dont have a problem with anything that is goin on around here. When I go on a trip I can hardly find any decent computer shops around, and here there are at least 5-10 withing a 10 minute drive. Yes, the traffic sometimes sucks, and prices are sky high but that is why people in the Valley make so much money. If you arent getting paid 70-100K a year, you can hardly afford to live here. Ive heard people say the only reason to move to Silicon Valley is to get rich. Well sure, you will get alot of money, but you will also be spending alot more money to live here. Gas prices have been higher than most of the country for a long time, nobody made much of a stink about it, but as soon as the gas prices went up in washington its all over the news about the gas crisis and gets debated in congress.
