  1. Re:I wonder? on Space Shuttle Secrets Stolen For China · · Score: 1

    Surely China can think of a better way of solving its overpopulation than putting people on the Space Shuttle? I mean, it only kills seven people at a time.

  2. Re:Missing tag. on Birds Give a Lesson to Plane Designers · · Score: 1

    Considering that the laws of physics scale uniformly with size (as long as we're talking about objects bigger than a molecule and smaller than a planet) this shouldn't matter.

    Mass of an A4 Skyhawk at takeoff: ~11,000 kg
    Mass of a sparrow at takeoff: ~10g

    The fact that one maneuvers faster than the other, it's just... inexplicable.

    Microsoft will lower the price of all its retail products right? Since it's no longer competing with pirated software.

    While Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is an important milestone, we will continue to invest in the continuous improvement process.

  8. Re:Sure... on US Pulls Plug on Low-CO2 Powerplant Project · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Please go away and actually do some research into the costs of the various energy options

    I live in Australia. I have solar panels on my roof at home. The installation costs were subsidised by the Federal Government. My panels generate more power than I actually use, and the excess is fed back into the grid at a credit, so the power company ends up owing me money at the end of the year.

    You were saying?

  9. How do you think... on Yahoo Bid shows Microsoft on the Ropes · · Score: 1

    ...the MS teams who have been slaving on Search, Advertising, and Windows Live feel? Ballmer has just admitted that everything they did was so shit that the only way to fix the situation is to spend nearly 50billion on acquiring another company.

  15. Re:warning labels on New 4100 Lumen Flashlight Can Set Things On Fire · · Score: 1

    There are many things in your house more dangerous than this super-bright flashlight. Should they all have labels? The problem is that when everything has a warning label, the chatter drowns out the important warnings.

    That's why right now the State of New York is considering making it illegal to possess any of those things.

    Nah, I liked Christensen in SW2 and 3. I thought he did pretty well with the script and direction he had... WHICH WAS AN ABOMINATION BEFORE GOD.

  19. Re:I never thought I'd see the day ... on Prosthetic-Limbed Runner Disqualified from Olympic Games · · Score: 1

    Lighter, they store more elastic potential energy, they have less wind resistance, they don't require sugar and oxygen and water to function and don't produce waste products that would otherwise need to be flushed out.

    Still the lack of direct feedback would be kinda weird. I can't imagine running fast without knowing exactly when and how the mass of my body was interacting with the ground.

    While I can appreciate the ability for those outside of the big Hollywood blockbuster to create decent effects, let's not lose sight of plot and character.

    You mean... like Hollywood?

    Projects such as this should serve to make it clear to everyone: making a movie is easy. Telling a story is, and always has been, hard.
