  4. Just to Clarify on Isolated NASA Team Ends Year-Long Mars Simulation In Hawaii (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    From https://snowballschanceonmars....

    "Just to clarify, we don’t have cheese powder. To whoever said that we live on tuna and cheese powder we have freeze dried cheese that rehydrates into delicious real cheese. Not to mention our numerous homemade cheese and yogurt cultures (Haans, Phil, Geno) and sourdough starter (Bob). Yes, we have tuna, but it’s wild caught and comes in virgin olive oil. We also have FD chicken (my favorite!), ham, turkey, and many kinds of beef. There is an abundant supply of dehydrated/FD carrots, onions, tomatoes, peas, corn, celery, potato, berries, peaches (mine, mine, mine, mine), bananas, apples, and cherries. We eat the same foods as people who cook their meals and don’t eat takeout"

  5. Re:On a surface? on IBM Measures Force Required To Move Atoms · · Score: 1

    You mean the person that wrote the summary could have said, "individual atoms on different surfaces" or "specific types of atoms on different surfaces". Then I wouldn't have to RTFA. Yeah, like I come here for the articles!

  6. On a surface? on IBM Measures Force Required To Move Atoms · · Score: 1

    measure the force it takes to move individual atoms on a surface

    Wouldn't that surface be made of, ummmm, atoms?

  12. Me thinks... on Mac Hack Contest Redux · · Score: 1

    They should probably turn off the Windows machine, just to make it fair and all...

  13. Re:Wrong title on The Physics of Football · · Score: 1

    Couldn't that be because there's usually only 1 kicker on the team who actually plays?

    Possibly, but even if the points were spread evenly across two or even three equally good kickers (they aren't usually, that is why there is one starter) the points would remain the same. The points would have still been scored by a football being kicked.

    My comment was a response to the original poster:

    As an European I'd like to point out that the article is not about football but about some strange American sport where the foot isn't even used (or at least not that often,I have no idea to be honest).
  14. Re:Wrong title on The Physics of Football · · Score: 2, Interesting

    20 out of the top 21 leading point makers of the regular 2007 season are kickers. Guess how they put points on the board.....yeah, they kick the ball. NFL Scoring Stats

  15. A ha! on How One Clumsy Ship Caused A Major Net Outtage · · Score: 2, Funny

    My suspicions were correct. The cross-section clearly shows that the outer layer of the cable is actually a TUBE!

  16. Easier way......... on Sperm Made From Female Bone Marrow, Men Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    All children born of this method would be female, due the lack Y chromosomes, and there is high chance of birth defects.

    A 20 year study has also confirmed, that defects like these can be achieved by SMOKING CRACK!

  17. You Fools!!! on World's Most Powerful Rail Gun Delivered to US Navy · · Score: 1

    They will come up with an unlimited source for this energy. Apparently they never watched The Matrix...

  19. Scared = stupid on Pentagon Working on "Human Fear" Weapons · · Score: 1

  22. Re:Side Effects? on Hospitals Look to a Nuclear Tool to Fight Cancer · · Score: 1

    I don't think there are any "long term" side effects, at least not for old people that get cancer. I guess if you are young enough when you get it, you might have a shot at some.

  23. Re:erm.... on Netgear Introduces Linux-Based NAS Devices · · Score: 1

    Yeah, guess it should have said: "geared towards the self-employed-work-from-home-business-owner"

    I'll try that next time.

  24. Re:Whose standard? on Notebook Makers Moving to 4 GB Memory As Standard · · Score: 1
    Apparently not everyone knows that it can support 4GB of RAM. Only 3GB of RAM being recognized, is actually a hardware issue. I'm not sure why anyone would buy a new laptop, with a 64-bit CPU, that only came with a 32-bit OS anyway! Doesn't make much sense to me.

    For the curious:

    Windows NT 4.0: 4 GB
    Windows 2000 Professional: 4 GB
    Windows 2000 Standard Server: 4 GB
    Windows 2000 Advanced Server: 8GB
    Windows 2000 Datacenter Server: 32GB
    Windows XP Professional: 4 GB
    Windows Server 2003 Web Edition: 2 GB
    Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition: 4 GB
    Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition: 32 GB
    Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition: 64 GB
