  1. Re:Are the masts designed to fold under extreme wi on Giant Floating Windmills To Launch Next Year · · Score: 1

    submerging them in a controlled manner would be a cool solution to that, not sure if its feasible though...

  2. Re:Just out of interest on Giant Floating Windmills To Launch Next Year · · Score: 5, Insightful

    the majority of the surface area on a wind turbine is tilted at an angle unsuitable for that. the only place that would make sense is probably the top of the cabin. The Blades are subject to a lot of stress/deformation, might also be that solar cells don't handle that well.

  3. Re:Maybe the nazis wrre right? on China's Cyberwar Against India · · Score: 5, Informative

    Maybe the nazis wrre right? Back then, they used to say of the jews that they'd be "stupid enough to sell the rope to hang them". as far as i know, that quote is by lenin, refering to capitalists, not nazis about jews... so it is even more fitting than you thought.
  4. White? on Rocket-Powered 21-Foot Long X-Wing Actually Flies · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone build white combat spacecraft? pretty dumb from a camo perspective?

  5. Re:Amarok on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    imo amarok is pretty bloated, as is much of the standard KDE stuff. try quodlibet, it has all the features you need and a much leaner interface...

  6. Open Source on Will Security Firms Detect Police Spyware? · · Score: 1

    With an Open Source scanner at least one can be sure there is no policeware whitelist...

  7. Re:Great publicity stunt on World's Fastest Broadband Connection — 40 Gbps · · Score: 1

    cat /dev/urandom | nc fast.granny.se 1100
    and

    nc -l -p 1100 > /dev/null
    if you really want to use the bandwidth, no need for harddrives, etc ;)
  8. I'm wondering... on The Psychology of Facebook Examined · · Score: 1

    why does "a friend of mine" hit refresh every 5 seconds, waiting for a friend to change his status, etc., instead of learning for his finals? Thats an intresting psychological phenomenon, too i guess...

  9. Re:May not be a great idea on Team Builds Viruses To Combat Harmful "Biofilms" · · Score: 1

    Who says these viruses have to be indiscriminate? could they not attack specific cells only? Don't know very much about biology...
