  1. Those are not the droids your looking for on NASA to Test Emergency Ability of New Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    CHIEF PILOT: There goes another one. CAPTAIN: Hold your fire. There are no life forms. It must have been short-circuited.

  2. Re:How? on Duke Nukem Forever 'Confirmed' For Late 2008 · · Score: 1

    How many people does it take to update news on www.3drealms.com? Wouldn't surprise me if its just one lonely, lonely person giggling quietly to himself with every 'possible release date' post. Shame on you!

  3. If I didn't have a User, than who wrote me? on Scientist Suggests We Explore 'Universe is a VR Simulation' Theory · · Score: 1

    Ram: I'd say "Welcome Friend". But not here. Not like this. Crom: I don't even know what I'm doing here. Ram: Do you believe in the Users? Crom: Sure I do! If I didn't have a User, than who wrote me? Ram: That's what you're doing down here.

  4. Queue Data Structure on Mathematicians Solve the Mystery of Traffic Jams · · Score: 1

    It doesn't take a rocket-science mathematician to analyze the flow of traffic. The Queue data structure has been around forever, and many people take advantage of it for every day analysis; just visit your local news web site, and more often then not, they will have a fancy real-time traffic diagram.

  5. Re:Crap alert on Procedural Programming- The Secret Behind Spore · · Score: 1

    I agree. For example, the editor says that the PS1 has games with 4 CDs... Lets take FF7 as an example: its not because the code is so huge to fit on one CD, its because the FMV scenes are large files which take up the majority of the space on the CD.

  6. Hard to beleive that data is lost on Thousands of White House E-mails Deleted · · Score: 1

    I agree with filesiteguy. Any well established entity, government or corporate, will have technicians to deal with email systems and backups. This is the White House we are talking about, and the White House is HUGE. In order to backup such a huge amount of data, there will most likely be tape libraries set aside just for email backups. In order to "lose" email data, a technician would have to manually navigate to the tape in question and either erase it or physically remove it from the tape library and destroy it.

    It is VERY unlikely that the backup technicians just "suddenly lost" their backups. Either the backups exist and someone is lying, or the backups were erased and someone is lying. Either way, someone is lying.

  7. Re:The next stage of evolution... on Chimps Found Making Own Weapons to Hunt for Food · · Score: 1

    Well, those monkeys may have become smarter, but as long as their hip joints haven't evolved, there won't be many chimps making chairs... ... but yes, good idea, we need more chairs with "made by chimps" on their tags, although i believe Ikea may have already beat them to it...
