  3. joking aside on Deathbed Confession Says Aliens Were at Roswell · · Score: 1

    all joking aside, i would have been more interested to read the acctual document than a reporters version of it.

    as for the Egg, it sounds more like an escape pod than a flying saucer, but i guess we'll never know.

  4. iceland on Russia Claims Large Chunk of North Pole · · Score: 1

    so does iceland own everything above the midatlantic ridge?

  5. +5 for Prince on Music Industry Attacks Free Prince CD · · Score: 1

    it's his music and he should be able to do this if he wants to.

    if the RIAA tries to block this legal use of his material, they should be investigated.

  6. personal theory on Hans Reiser Interview from Prison · · Score: 3, Interesting

    they won't find a body because she's not dead.

    she's been taking the money and gave it to her boy friend who loanded it back to hans.
    the interview never says how the friend came into that much money. did no one else notice this?

    they fake her death and frame hans.

    the friend can pass a polygraph because he "didn't kill her".

    as for the seat, i think they drugged him(yes, both the wife and boyfriend have a history of experimentation/use), drove the car to where they left it and let him wake up there.

    he knew where the car was, but has no way to explain how it got there. this would freak out most people.

    yes he could have done it, but this no more unrealistic than anything else i've read.

  7. Re:Wonderful on Scientist Calls Mars a Terraforming Target · · Score: 1

    in part yes.

    the biggest problem i see with screwing up mars is the gravity.
    it has less than earth so any O2 or CO2 that is thawed with be more likely to drift off into space. especially after it warms up.

    in the end, it's rewources will be lost and it will be more like our moon than the current mars that we see.
    otherwise i would love to see this happen. as is it will be a waste.

    i prefer the dome concepts.

  8. Re:disturbance liability on It's Hard To Run a Blog In Sweden · · Score: 1

    not true

    they do nothing but bitch about everyone but themselves.

  10. scarry on Peer Review Starts for Software Patents · · Score: 3, Funny

    for a second i thought they said, Pay Perview for Software Patents.

  11. Cute on DARPA to Raise Robot LANdroid Army · · Score: 1

    Cute little things, but they are going to have a hell of a time with stairs.

  12. /. is falling behind on Volunteer to Simulate a Mars Mission for the ESA · · Score: 4, Funny

    /. is falling behind. this is old news.

  16. Re:And Who Did They Hire?? on Microsoft Hires Director of Linux Interoperability · · Score: 1

    oh come on!
    that was funny.

    where are my mod points when i need them.
    *looks around for missing points*

  17. Re:*gasp* on Vista Not Playing Well With IPv6 · · Score: 1

    the real reason they want to make the IP deals and use Linux code.

    they'll call it Service pack 2.

  18. lobby listing on New York Jumps Into Open Formats Fray · · Score: 1

    is there a site where you can see who Micro$oft is lobbying?

    it would be nice to see who isn't on the take next time i vote.

  19. not a cave to me on Massive Cave Found on Mars · · Score: 1

    as much as i would like there to be a giant cave, it looks to me to be at best a sinkhole that has filled in with a very dark material.

  20. i think i can on Riding an Ion Drive to the Asteroid Belt · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    i think i can, i think i can, i think i can

    seriously, this very cool.
    +5 points to JPL

  21. Cool!! on Navy Now Mandated To Consider FOSS As an Option · · Score: 3, Insightful

    but i'm sure that one of M$'s lobby groups will pay to try and have that changed shortly.

  22. Re:rough start on Insight Into AMD's Linux Driver Development · · Score: 1

    mine is in a HP laptop.

    i use 3DDesktop, and other 3D stuff from SearchandRescue and FlightGear to Blender and Ayam3D.

    my older desktop had a NVidia card, but some of the later drivers were giving me trouble.

    so i gave ATI a try. as i said, it was a rough start, but it's working flawlessly now.

  23. rough start on Insight Into AMD's Linux Driver Development · · Score: 3, Informative

    when i switched from NVidia to ATI, it was a rough start.
    for the longest time i couldn't get the driver to build/install, then one day everything just worked!
    i can't tell you which version it was, but from then on, i've had no problems or complaints.

    an open driver would be nice, but even still, my compliments to them.

  24. just like a telemarketer on Shutting Down Annoying Recruiters? · · Score: 1

    when i get calls like that at home i ask them if they can "hold on just a second" or "hold that thought please", and then i go back to what i was doing before.

    when i come back(20 minutes later), they are gone.
    not a problem.

  25. Creative on Syncing Music Players In Linux? · · Score: 1

    my little creative has never given me a problem with linux (debian etch)
