    Actually I misread. Mod me down.

    Hilarious. You're complaining because they tested it in the atmosphere, and the thread above you has a guy complaining because they tested it in a vacuum chamber.

  3. Re:It's not open source, but here it goes on Ask Slashdot: Best Open Source Answer to Dreamweaver? · · Score: 1

    Silverlight does not target Flash, it targets the Silverlight runtime.

  4. Re:500 megabytes? on Almost 1 In 3 US Warplanes Is a Drone · · Score: 1

    No. First of all, 1 byte != 1 packet. And if you were measuring in bytes per second, which bytes? 7-bit? 8-bit? Bytes are at a different layer. If anything, you might want to measure symbols per second, but then that can vary as well.

    Indeed!

    ++ to all of that.

    What time fiddling? When was the last time you used Windows?

  8. Re:where are IPV6 routers and modems?? on Last Available IPv4 Blocks Allocated · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Uh, IPv6 autoconfiguration?

    And who renumbers? No one should be typing in IPs anywhere anymore. DHCPv6 and DNS and now you're done.

  9. Re:Terminology ? on Laser Fusion Passes Major Hurdle · · Score: 1

    That would have been awesome, we were just remarking in the office how cool it would be to tour those labs!

    I'm guessing this is one of those cases where this is the best chance to get experimental results that will open or close lots of doors. And yes, it does seem like an extremely long time, but with funding and skepticism about fusion where it is, and with how extremely complicated something like this is, I'm not sure if I would have really expected it to go any faster.

    However, if we get an actual nuclear fusion power plant by 2050, I think looking back in a couple of hundred years people will be impressed at how fast the technology was developed at all. We've only been at a point technologically where something like this is even thinkable for less than 100 years. I think that if I were working on a project like this, dedicating most of my career to it would be worthwhile if only to move this along in some way. If it works, it's pretty much humanity's game-changer.

  10. Re:Saving the tax payer £22 mil on British Royal Navy Submarines Now Run Windows · · Score: 1

    Why? Windows 3.1 was just taken out of support last year.

    And solutions like this one used for the military are typically given longer support lifetimes. And they probably have the Win2k source, as well.

  11. Re:Java never mattered....? on Does an Open Java Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    Yes, you're right.

    About the proper statement anyway. My uid should speak to how long I've been reading Slashdot.

    I'd thought you Slashdot guys were smarter than this. Really? You haven't been reading Slashdot that long, have you? ;-)

    Wow.

    I'd like to know what world you live in where Java is a niche product.

    In the real world, Java is about as niche as Linux.

    You're right, they are used after a question. The real question is, what does that have to do with my post?

  16. Obviously none of you read the blog post on IE8 May Not Pass the Acid2 Test After All · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    of the IE developer.

    "I doubt Acid2, nor Acid3 will have Microsoft extensions in them."

    Well I doubt you have half a brain. Acid2 and Acid3 are developed by WaSP, which were the people that helped Microsoft develop the meta-tag solution in the first place. So there is a good chance that they WILL have the Microsoft extensions in them. Not that a meta tag is really a "Microsoft extension."

    Would have thought by this time the editors would have learned apostrophe rules. They aren't that hard.

  18. Re:Who is being held captive? on Why Apple Delayed Leopard for the iPhone · · Score: 1

    That's not really an answer to anything. You have to have VERY specific hardware for that to work well or even at all.

  19. Re:Stanton Final Scratch on Learning to DJ? · · Score: 1

    Uh, it doesn't matter what you're playing, you need to be able to mix the two songs together when one ends and the other begins. I have never heard a DJ other than at a wedding just let one song end and then start the next one afterward.

    It's SQL based in that it saves user preferences and addresses in a SQL database.
