  1. Re:Football is the same on Do We Need Running Shoes To Run? · · Score: 1

    Jogging affects your joints. Better walk, in the same amount of time. It's healthier.

  2. Re:Vista has the same limit on Windows 7 Starter Edition — 3 Apps Only · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I know what you mean. This 8GB RAM I bought today is just not enough!

  3. Explorer included? on Windows 7 Starter Edition — 3 Apps Only · · Score: 1

    Uhm, well, if you consider Explorer an application or the fact that Chrome has as many processes running as many tabs you have opened, there's not plenty of room for your Yahoo Messenger, for instance.

  4. You got it all wrong on Facebook Users Get Lower Grades In College · · Score: 1

    The news should be "Internet Users Get Lower Grades In Highschool and College". My grades were in an inverse ratio proportion with my bandwidth.

  5. Candlesticks! on Sunspot Activity Continues To Drop · · Score: 1

    It will be really interesting to plot the sunspot activity as candlesticks and see if we can predict the next move, as we learned from FOREX markets, for instance. Plot some resistance and support lines, pivot points, EMA, RSI and MACD and try to guess what's next.

  6. But why? on Man Robs Convenience Stores With Klingon "Batleth" · · Score: 1

    Why did he used a weapon to break-in? Was the transporter pad malfunctioning because of the non-calibrated Heisenberg compensators that were not alligned with the verteron matrix containment field? He should reversed the polarity, for crying outloud!

  7. Re:While that happened.... on Remembering NASA Disasters With an Eye Toward the Future · · Score: 1

    You will die anyway: in your bed at home, while a car hits you, in a hospital. Why not die doing something fun, like riding a space shuttle or trying to land on the Moon?

  8. Re:Things that make you go 'hmmmm....' on The Science and Physics of Back To the Future · · Score: 1

    I think rickb928 was refering to this particular episode: http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/The_Next_Phase_(episode)

  9. Re:Things that make you go 'hmmmm....' on The Science and Physics of Back To the Future · · Score: 1

    Mr. who? I think you are referring to a TNG episode, which is not Unification I or II. And even it would be one of the Unification episodes (which, again, it isn't), then it's Ambassador Spock for you.

  10. Re:Um, global thermonuclear war? on This Is the Way the World Ends · · Score: 1

    You've obviously never heard of cobalt thorium G. Cobalt thorium G has a radioactive halflife of ninety three years. If you take, say, fifty H-bombs in the hundred megaton range and jacket them with cobalt thorium G, when they are exploded they will produce a doomsday shroud. A lethal cloud of radioactivity which will encircle the earth for ninety three years!

  11. Re:Religious point of view on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    Sarcastic attempt failed. I'm sorry Kenoli, I will recalibrate my humorous subroutines.

  12. Religious point of view on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 5, Funny

    If God have meant for us to clone a Neanderthal, He would provide us the tools and the knowledge to do that!!

  13. Re:Quicktime? Seriously? on New Star Trek Trailer · · Score: 1

    QuickTime works fine on my MacOS...

  14. Re:Landing? on India's Chandrayaan Lands Impact Probe On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Ouch. Shouldn't they have a little rover inside?

  15. Re:Why always a temple? on 11,000-Year-Old Temple Found In Turkey · · Score: 1

    "Why do archaeologists always declare that old buildings are temples?"

    Maybe it has a cross on it. Oh, wait...

  16. Obligatory joke on 11,000-Year-Old Temple Found In Turkey · · Score: 5, Funny

    So Germans found some cooper wires deep in the ground near Berlin and concluded that their ancestors used electricity way before anyone else, circa 1,000 years ago. Later on, the British found near London some glass way deeper than previous German team and concluded than optical cable was used on British 2,000 years ago. Turkish people kept digging and digging and found nothing. They concluded that their ancestors from 11,000 years ago have used wireless.

  17. MinKern anyone? on Windows 7 Benchmarks Show Little Improvement On Vista · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I read rumors about a minimal kernel to be used in the next Windows version. Will 7 skip it?

  18. Re:Come on... on Where Have All the Pagers Gone? · · Score: 1

    I recharge my cellphone once a week. But I don't use it intensively (I'm not a broker and I don't like listening MP3s while walking). And as I said it's small enough to fit in my pocket.

  19. Come on... on Where Have All the Pagers Gone? · · Score: 1

    Whining about your BlackBerry vibration level is just lame. Just get another cell-phone if BlackBerry doesn't suit you. I have a SonyEricsson W800i that can ring as loud as I need (and from time to time I work in a very loud environment) and it's small enough to fit into my jeans' pocket. I never had a pager. With a cell-phone you can talk, SMS, MMS, take pictures, listen to MP3s, check mail or news. For a little extra, you can get GPS navigation and TV shows (I'm thinking at the insanely Nokia N96). WTF is wrong with a good cellphone?! It wouldn't be long until I hear people complaining about lack of wired phone, horse-cars (environment-friendly!) or CP/M.
    And you know that a pager doesn't have the email capabilities of a BlackBerry, right?

  20. How ironic on AVG Virus Scanner Removes Critical Windows File · · Score: 1

    Boy, I'm so glad that today I'll buy my first MacBook!

  21. Really? on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Ubuntu Linux is available for our downloading pleasure. Amongst various changes it sports updates to the installer, improved networking[...]"

    Well, I personally find this a little ironic since I've tested Kubuntu a few days ago and since I have a non-DHCP, manually IP set-up, I found it to be almost impossible to get a working Internet connection. The KNetwork applet (or whatever its name is) will not open. I tried setting it up manually by, yes, using Konsole. Internet connection worked for a few seconds after that it automatically tried detecting my IP. Setting it again manually worked. For another few seconds. A friend advise me to get rid of avahi, I did with no use.

    But again, it was Kubuntu and it was a beta version, I'm sure they fixed it by now.

  22. Aww, come on guys on Setbacks Cast Doubt On NASA's Ares Project · · Score: 1

    Computer simulations... in the mean time, an Indian rocket it's on the way to the Moon!

    You forgot Knight Rider, Superman (well, kind-of), Indiana Jones, Star Wars.
