    You have a point. Cape Canaveral would be a nasty place to turn a rocket into a dirty bomb.

    The difference here is that Nokia does not own MP3.

  6. Re:Hello, sun-powered earth? on New Wave Power Research Rising Off Oregon Coast · · Score: 1

    the perpetual (yes, perpetual) motion of water vapor Not perpetual. As you pointed out, the Earth is entirely Sun-powered. Perpetual motion, by definition, would continue to move without any further input of energy. Take away the sun, and I can guarantee you that everything other than the Earth's core would stop functioning pretty quickly.

    What good would that do? They could update their Firewall much faster and more efficiently than they could push out updates to every PC in the country.

    Why close the source? Just sell the thing, and spread rumors about a site where it can be downloaded for free. I'm sure the masses there are just as ignorant about closed source as masses here.

    I was making a joke, cutting and pasting his sentence and changing a few words to turn it around. Apparently nobody found it funny. All well..

    Maybe you should just be a man and accept that you made a mistake. OK, so feeding the trolls is not a good idea. No need to be rude about it. Has ignoring them ever been successful?

    Well, this is embarrassing. How popular is it? Also, what kind of bandwidth is there?

  22. New form of file sharing! on Ham Radio Operators Are Heroes In Oregon · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If one could account for signal distortion/degradation, ham radio sets could conceivably be used for broadcasting files. And I mean as a binary ogg/mp3/aac/flac/whatever, not as audio that can be played by any radio.

  23. Re:Monsanto... on The Arctic Doomsday Seed Vault · · Score: 1

    With tinfoil hat still firmly in place...how does that save you in an apocalyptic scenario? Where does the technology come into play that gives us a good starting point with seed stock if the technology to manipulate DNA isn't available because of the collapse of civilization? Additionally, a chunk of potato is smaller than a hard drive, and would be easier to clone than make from scratch.
