  1. Re:Unscaled photo link on Most Detailed Photos of an Atom Yet · · Score: 1

    If I stare at the photo for more than 5 seconds, I swear I can see Jesus!

    And it was overcomed by using Heisenberg compensators!

  3. Re:What would Von Braun Say? on Can the Ares Program Be Salvaged? · · Score: 1

    IMO, they should never fall back to rocket design, but advance in Shuttle-like spaceships, like X-33 for instance. It's far more cheaper and useful than a whole non-reusable rocket.

  4. Re:An old saying on The Longest Poem In the World · · Score: 1

    Thank you Google Translate for this, but you blew away the fun of it.
    You see, the correct grammatical form would be "Fara poezie, viata e pustie" which in Romanian language is a rhyme. Now, if you are drunk and want to say something with a deep philosophical meaning, you can forget to put the correct form and say it like I did at the beginning. Actually, this is a line from a (famous) Romanian movie.
    Damn, it's hard to explain humor.

  5. Windows 64b on Behind the 4GB Memory Limit In 32-Bit Windows · · Score: 1

    I have an Asus P5B motherboard with the latest BIOS firmware installed. If I deactivate memory remapping in BIOS, when booting, only little above 3GB of RAM is displayed, although I have installed 4GB. Vista x64 or Windows 7 x64 can only see as much as BIOS sees, so not the full 4GB. On exactly the same hardware and settings, if I install Hackintosh, more precisely iDeneb, MacOS X can see the full 4GB of RAM. I think this is a little weird and I don't have an explanation for it. Also, /PAE on boot.ini on 32 bit Windows XP Pro doesn't work at all.

    Fara poezie, viata e pustiu.

    I'm sorry, it's hard to translate this in English.

    Just look at the shadows in these HiRes pictures! They are all wrong! Clearly, that've faked the Moon surface somewhere in New Mexico...

  12. Missreading on Mass Speculation Suggests Oracle May Kill OpenSolaris · · Score: 1

    I've first read: "Mass Spectrometry Suggests Oracle May Kill OpenSolaris" and for a few milliseconds my bain tried to find a casual relation between mass spectrometry, Oracle and OpenSolaris.

  13. So what? on Endeavour's Launch Once More Delayed · · Score: 1

    What's wrong in being exta-safe? We're talking here about human life and about the space exploration program's future. If something good came out of the Challenger and Columbia lessons is that you cannot hurry or cheat mother nature and hope everything will magically go fine somehow. The shuttles are not as young as they use to be and we have no replacement for them yet, thanks to latest years budget cuts.
    And they've chosen Florida for launch because being close to the Equator will help preserve fuel for launching the spacecrafts, due to a great deal of help from Earth's rotation. Ever wonder why Baikonur is not on Russian soil?

  14. Re:I just got sweaty palms... on Windows 7 Hits Build 7600 (Possible RTM) · · Score: 1

    You guys are something... When Microsoft includes an Internet browser (which, IMHO, represent a more basic feature than an ISO mounter), EU fined them and goes into the records books for the amount of money they got from MS. I find more surprising the fact that there isn't any widespread open-source ISO mounter for Widnows, or even a decent, reliable, widespread backup utility for Windows.

  15. Re:resurrection on British Library Puts Oldest Surviving Bible Online · · Score: 1

    I wasn't refereeing to the text, I was refereeing solely to you affirmation :)

  16. Re:resurrection on British Library Puts Oldest Surviving Bible Online · · Score: 1

    Well, if Jesus' appearances to some people after the resurrection is missing, this could mean his body was stolen, you cannot postulate that he was resurrected. Only his presence, after death, means resurrection. No body, no resurrection for me, according to Occam's razor, in that case, his body was stolen.

    Try putting a bonbon into a liquid nitrogen and then drop it from 0.2 meters high (sorry, real scientists uses metric system) and it will shatter like Terminator's parts in Judgement Day.

  21. Wait a minute on Opera 10.0 Released, With Integrated Web Server Functionality · · Score: 1

    Wait, wait, wait... Opera 10 is still in beta and there is a clear distinction between Opera "the browser" and Opera Unite, which is probably in alpha state. So, do not confuse Opera 10 Web Browser with the new Opera Unite buzz word. How hard can it be to understand that?

  22. Because it's true! on How Comic Fans & Shops Are Stereotyped · · Score: 2, Informative

    I walked into to different comic book stores, in two different states while being for the first time in the US, in February. There were exactly I imagined them! Huge piles of old comics, new comics, action figures, maniacal comic books guys (the one from Colorado told me he had 500.000 comic books at his home but he was nice, giving me a free '60 Action Comics incomplete issue as a bonus plus a 20% discount to a nice DC Comics Cover Girls huge album, since I've spent some bucks there). So, anything I I saw in cartoons and movies about comic book guys and stores is perfectly true. I'm not being sarcastic or mean here, I like comic book shops!

  23. Hello? Mind melds? on Special Effects Lessons From JJ Abrams' Star Trek · · Score: 1

    I all the reviews I've read so far, no one seems to be bothered by the instant mind melds we have in this... uhm, let's call it Star Trek. I remember in TNG's Sarek how long and exhausting a mind meld were, how long the two parties had prepare for it. In Abrams' Star Trek we have instant mind melds on the battlefield. *ZAP*ZAP* mind meld to find out where's the red matter *DUCKS*ZAP*ZAP*. I find this to be disturbing.
