    Am I seeing this right? I see an Apollo module strapped on top of a Shuttle fuel tank, with Apollo rockets sticking out of the bottom of it, and it has two of the Shuttles booster strapped to the sides.

    Wow the Orks from Warhammer 40k would be proud

  7. Re:Ask yourself, do you want to support China? on Google To Restart Talks With China · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't claim to be an expert but I don't see China growing to surpass the rest of the world. China got to the point it is today by doing stuff cheaply, as far as I can tell they are more dependent on us than we are on them. Our dealings with China are only for cost savings and their dealing with us is their life blood.

  8. Re:Meet the new boss... on An Interview With Cybersecurity Czar Howard Schmidt · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Judging from the summery, it looks like there isn't actually a new boss, it's just the same boss again.

  9. XKCD Bait on New Method for Random Number Generation Developed · · Score: 5, Funny

    Lets play a game, what XKCD am I thinking of?

  13. Re:Which RPG? on Life Imagined As One Big RPG · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not everyone in a Square game has a long monologue, but you are only required to wear 3 belts at a minimum.

  14. But imagine on eBay Urges Rethink On EU Plan's "Brick and Mortar" Vendor Requirement · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Going to the Newegg store, where it's a warehouse with a couple of cashiers in the front. The employees aren't there to help you they are there to get stuff to shipping. I'd wander around there for hours.

  15. Re:Wait a second... on New Linux-Based Laptop For Computer Newbies · · Score: 1

    You don't by chance happen to work on the Debian project do you?

  16. Re:unlike Mac or Linux on New Linux-Based Laptop For Computer Newbies · · Score: 1

    >The OS allows for crappy software to run

    All I can really say about that is I'm a big fan of consistency in design, a bad but consistent design is going to be nicer than a system with half a dozen different designs.
    I use Chrome but I get annoyed by the lack of a "Title Bar," keyboard short cuts need to be the same, and so help me God I will kill the person who though it would be a good idea to change the order of options that pop-up when you right-click on a minimized window, their death will be slow and painful if it launches a fucking help system instead of closing the application.
     
    I would love to see OS's do a better job of enforcing the GUI.

  17. Re:Wikileaks on Google Donates $2 Million To the Wikimedia Foundation · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wikileaks would reject it though, they have a policy against that.

    That's the wrong website, but they were kind enough to point me in the right direction.

  20. Re:mandatory xkcd reference on 20 Years of Photoshop · · Score: 1

    You are so lazy you don't want an easy +5 funny?

  21. Re:Gimp? on 20 Years of Photoshop · · Score: 1

    Eh 6 years isn't that long

  22. Re:Photoshop and open source on 20 Years of Photoshop · · Score: 1

    I think that says more about the quality of the open source programs that it does about freedom ideals.

  23. Re:Motion is so over-rated. on Interstellar Hydrogen Prevents Light-Speed Travel? · · Score: 1

    I have no idea how it works but that just sounds wrong and doesn't even make sense.

  24. Re:Pffft... on Interstellar Hydrogen Prevents Light-Speed Travel? · · Score: 1

    I thought that they just called it navigation shielding, originally they just talked about it to protect against asteroids, but looks like they would be far more useful against hydrogen.

  25. Re:Do keep up, dear boy... on Interstellar Hydrogen Prevents Light-Speed Travel? · · Score: 4, Funny

    You did not just link me to a astrophysics article of wiki that's worse than tv tropes for me
     
    I'm at 8 articles from just the first link you provided.
