  1. And what about... on Robots To Control Oil Drilling Platforms · · Score: 1

    Security guards?

  2. Re:Blendtec on The LCD Panel vs. The Crossbow · · Score: 3, Informative

    Too big for the blender.

  3. Re:I have a suggestion too on Thousands of Adult Website Accounts Compromised · · Score: 1

    Usenet? Or Use-the-Net? They are already doing the latter.

  4. Re:Confused.. on FSFE Supports Microsoft Antitrust Investigation · · Score: 3, Interesting

    but they're not blatantly stopping any installation of alternative browsers Not at the consumer level, no. Although their EULA is worded in such a way that I am sure that they would be legally capable of making that decision if they wanted to. Also, (IIRC) MS punished Dell for trying to install Firefox on their machines.
  5. Re:A Slashvertisement by any other name on Netgear Introduces Linux-Based NAS Devices · · Score: 1

    stories involving cool Linux stuff GPP's point is that this is some pretty generic Linux stuff.
  6. Re:Privacy on British Drivers Destroying Surveillance Cameras · · Score: 1

    It might be hard to drive with one of those on.

  8. Re:Probably and on Email In the 18th Century · · Score: 1

    No flintlock required. He would simply need a keg of beer.

  9. Re:RTFA! on Email In the 18th Century · · Score: 1

    1791 is late 18th century.

  10. Re:omfg on Email In the 18th Century · · Score: 1

    That would depend upon how often messages were sent. A signal like the fire beacons in LOTR would be a pain to be in charge of because you don't do anything most of the time, but you still have to be alert when the message finally has to be sent.

  11. Re:Light the Fires on Email In the 18th Century · · Score: 1

    Apparently this is slightly more sophisticated than a simple "HELP!".

  12. Re:Idiotic on Chuck Norris Sues Publisher, Tears Don't Cure Cancer · · Score: 1

    and he's lived up to everything he's about So his tears really do cure cancer?
  13. Re:Too many assumptions? on Could An ExtraTerrestrial Find Earth with a Telescope? · · Score: 1

    Class M? Since when did we move to the Star Trek universe?

  14. Re:Will Norway's stand, stand the test of time? on Norway Mandates Government Use of ODF and PDF · · Score: 1

    Hence the Office plugin.

    And somehow, we manage to make it look as if Peter is the aggressor Who is Peter?
  16. Re:Garbagestan on Norway Mandates Government Use of ODF and PDF · · Score: 1

    Why would you do that? (make those formats illegal, not take over you city block)

  17. Re:who needs RIAA music? on RIAA Writes Its Own News For Local TV · · Score: 1

    Who needs music at all?

    I am fine w/background music in my games.

    What happened to the "insensitive clod" part?

  20. Re:Every one of these formats are worth jack on Plexiglass-like DVD to Hold 1TB of Data · · Score: 1

    For personal use, maybe, but if a corporation keeps archives of backups stretching back years this could a good buy.

  21. Re:FP4J on Plexiglass-like DVD to Hold 1TB of Data · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You're doing it wrong.

  22. Re:Data Integrity Over Time? on Plexiglass-like DVD to Hold 1TB of Data · · Score: 1

    That 10-15 years is only on burned media. Great. How is one supposed to use this as a backup without burning it?
  23. Forwards-compatible? on Plexiglass-like DVD to Hold 1TB of Data · · Score: 1

    Mempile's DVD drives will initially retail for between $3,000 and $4,000, and a 700GB platter -- the first model expected out around 2011 -- will sell for $30 Will the early drives be able to read/write higher capacity discs?
