  1. Don't buy a house & save $2 million on Switching To Solar Power – One Month Later · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well a house in Calif* with a clear view of the sky & enough room for 27 solar panels is about $2 million. So it's a choice between saving $250 on electricity or saving $2 million on housing.

  2. How it's made on Liquid Metal CPU Heatsink Beats Water Cooling · · Score: 1

    Obviously no information about how the liquid metal is made since this is an advertisement, but it's probably a repackaging of ferrofluid in a standard Chinese water cooler.

  3. log servers instead of printfs on Best and Worst Coding Standards? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We're in an age of log server worship, where debugging is buffered & takes 50 macros to get working & as long as the program doesn't crash before the buffer is flushed, you get your trace, assuming you got all 50 macros set right.

  4. If you're going to lose, why not lose with style on USAF Counter-Terror Funds Buy "Comfort Capsules" · · Score: 1

    Let the politicians fight the wars. Hillary should be first.

  5. Use fake identities & genders on Social Networking Sites Becoming Useful For Lawyers · · Score: 1

    U need to use a fake identity & gender like Heroine. Anything U say will be used against U, especially if U store your entire life on the Goog network.

  6. Cloud computing is so 2007. on Multiple Experts Try Defining "Cloud Computing" · · Score: 1

    Now the buzzword is pontificating computing.

  7. 250 word article on NASA Shuttle Replacement's Problems Are Worsening · · Score: 1

    This article was barely substantial enough to describe how to screw in a lightbulb let alone anything about technical issues. Keith Cowing made a typo which caused half the world to think 1-Y was being delayed when it really wasn't. The fact that NASA can't finish anything is well known.

  8. the debate was already over on NASA Engineers Work On Alternative Moon Rocket · · Score: 1

    This is like a dead candle which keeps getting gas thrown over it. It'll fizzle out again & next month the same thing will be on all the headlines. The debate has already been had. Lots of people build robots in their spare time. Does it mean Google & Silicon Valley are all wrong & venture capitalists should all invest in robots instead of web 2.0?

  9. spare parts on Send the ISS To the Moon · · Score: 1

    They should at least dismantle it & use the spare parts for something.

  10. Exactly right. It's obsolete on B-2 Stealth Bomber Gets Upgrade, Joins the '90s · · Score: 5, Funny

    They should have written all the flight control in Ruby & made it an AJAX web application that runs on Firefox on an iPhone. That would make it zillions of times faster than that old C code & Pentiums, right?

  11. bring back comdex on What Tech Should Be Seen At TED? · · Score: 1

    Forget about TED. I want someone to bring back Comdex. That used to be the ultimate new technology show. Maybe one day we'll have shows about trade shows of the future.

  12. 14 billion years ago on Antarctica Once Abutted Death Valley · · Score: 1

    14 billion years ago, everything was right next to everything. All your ex girlfriends. All your bosses. They all shared your molecules.

  13. Fremont without powerlines on Superconducting Power Grid Launches In New York · · Score: 1

    What would happen if the Fremont power line nest was replaced by 3 underground superconductors? 1000 houses would suddenly appear from under the wires & jump to $5 million. For the first time in 50 years, Automall Pkwy residents could see the sky.

  14. What are we up to now? on Researchers Improve Solar Cell Performance · · Score: 2

    With all the solar cell breakthroughs since 2005, we should be up to 10,000% efficiency by now.

  15. big company r&d on The State of R&D At HP, IBM, and Microsoft · · Score: 1

    It's usually 6 month time frame projects that are very likely to become products, not voodoo academic research. It was IPTV implementations after IPTV became big. Blu-Ray demos after Blu-ray technology was developed. iPOD syncing after iPods became big.

  16. "project" managers on Package Managers As Achilles Heel · · Score: 2, Funny

    The headline should be project managers as achilles heal.

  17. And what a constraint C must be on The Software Behind the Mars Phoenix Lander · · Score: 1

    No million line API's to conform to. No overlooked, hidden RFC on page 3000 of the latest standard revision from Sony. No implementing everything twice. Peter Gluck, software manager, must be a huge asset with the C language obstacle. Software management triumphs again.

  18. Cinelerra, the heroinewarrior.com version on Linux Alternatives To Apple's Aperture · · Score: 1

    Cinelerra does raw .cr2 decompression & all the processing in floating point. Useful for stacking hundreds of astrophotography images. Only for build system masters of course.

  19. hockey at 4fps on Robots Aim To Top Humans At Air Hockey · · Score: 1

    The human lost because the game was only going at 4fps.

  20. Hillary 2.0 on Nancy Pelosi vs. the Internet · · Score: 1

    Sounds like Hillary 2.0. Guess we know where she stands on taxing e-commerce.

  21. We love the sight of power on Google Open Sources Its Data Interchange Format · · Score: 1

    Just think of the kind of power it took to make millions of employees standardize on the same format for their data interchange. Humans just gravitate to power wielding forces. Wonder what format they require for their surprise blog posts.

  22. BD++ triple AACS CCS CSS DES CCCCC daily licensing on Pioneer Promises 400GB Optical Discs · · Score: 1

    If this doesn't make them adopt BD++ triple AACS CCS CSS DES CCCCC encryption daily licencing, nothing will.

  23. Back to 6502 assembly on Larrabee Based On a Bundle of Old Pentium Chips · · Score: 1

    Maybe we'll go back to a million 6502 cores running at 3 Ghz. Personally think programming this in C or assembly would be more exciting than implementing Java RFC 56532.1324342 on the latest Pentagoogaxeon 256000.

  24. Monthly BIOS license fees, DRM enabled login on Meet the Laptop You Will (Won't?) Use In 2015 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The laptop you use in 2015 will require monthly BIOS license fees, monthly service plans to log in, & fall apart in 3 weeks. It'll be made by 5 year old slave kids in Kazakhstan. All data storage will be through wireless networking to the giga corporation & monitored by the FBI for signs of the word "republican" or negative comments about the giga corporation.

    However the display will be made out of organic LEDs.

  25. New record for base pairs on First DNA Molecule Constructed from Mostly Synthetic Components · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Well it's been done for many decades. The trick is making the sequence longer & automating the process to not require an army of grad students.
