  1. The answer could be right in front of them. on Using Enzymes to Help Fight CO2 Build-Up · · Score: 1

    Make one big @ss coal electric generating plant, Put thoose elctro du dads on the stacks and use the electricty generated from burning the coal to provide the current need to start the reaction, In turn it doesn't matter that we are burning coal because we are recycling the fumes into car fuel. Good idea eh? Here's another I just thought of: Remember that chemistry class in highschool where you seperate water from hydrogen with two electrodes? zinc and something or other? Why don't they put that into a car and you could use it to power your car, The exhaust would be water and that would also be the fuel. get it? In other words. H20 -> electricty -> H and 0 seperates => Burn + exaust into fuel cell and start all over The electricity would come from the alternator and capacitors and what not, And what you now have is the first closed internal combustion engine. Shoot maybe I should patent that. Oh Well.

  2. Will it still be you? I argue yes. on Putting Your Brain into A Computer · · Score: 1

    Think about for just a second or two. I believe that my so called existence is not based on anything that is me physically. If I lose an arm in an accident am I still me? If I lose both arms, both legs and I am surviving off of a respirator and an artificial heart, allthe while I have lost my vision, sense of touch, ability to speak and hear. Am "I" still alive? I say yes. So whats left are my thoughts and thought process. If that thought process can be replicated and all of my experiences and knowledge be then control by a cpu as opposed to living tissue. Then I feel that I am still alive. "I think therefor I am" Now, is it going to be possible? Sure haven't you seen Jonny Neumonic, or The Matrix, or RoboCop.... Anyway, thats it from me.

  3. Re:i hate novell on Novell Launches Anti-Win2k Campaign · · Score: 1

    Then you obviously don't a thing about Novell, or you have just never used anything else. My last had me taking car of 2 novell, 2 NT, 1 Citrix and an as/400. The novell servers never crashed or had to be booted or upated or patched once the entir 6 months, Nt went down on a weekly basis, Nt TSE/ctrix spool crashed many many many times, and the AS 400 went threw 2 software upgrades. Think about that

  4. N64 port? reminds me of hishgschool on Linux Port for N64? · · Score: 1

    in grade 9 i took a PET computer and turned it into a clock. This kinda reminds of what this is tryin to do. Somethin thats kinda cool, but no one really has a need for a 50 pund clock. If this guy did manage it, the interface would would likely cost way more than a 486(all thats needed for linux). Hmm, I still have my PET I wonder... an AS-400 port maybe??? I could run syntax and generate 1 calculation per day.

  8. Thoughts on how he communicates on Stephen Hawking on The Future · · Score: 1

    I wounder if he uses a windows based pc or is it a server of some configuration, or is it a linux box? If he uses clicks to talk then why not use morse code that is then interpreted by the pc. I was in the army for a while and can certanly click more words in morse code then he seems to be able to type with whatever mechanism he is using now. Oh well, such is life. The article kinda plays to much on how he handicaped and not enough on his thoughts and interpetations of what he said.

  9. Be honest everyone..If the shoe fits. on A Profile of Coders · · Score: 1

    When I was coding I liked to think I had a life outside of C and COBOL. I mean I went out and partied and had a girfriend and all that. But I did live off of mountain dew, coffee and pizza for a couple of mounths. I worked long hours(mostly at night), But Hey that doesn't mean I fit the "stigma" does it? Sure I liked video games and surfin the net lookin for ways into the NSA. But does that mean I fit the "stigma"? I had a nice car and liked sports. I think that I was the "stigma". I can live with that. 'Cause now I a net. admin. No more long hours in front of a computer screen for me.NOT. MIS people tend to think they are not geeks when really we are regardless of what we do on our spare time. Live with it. love it and deal with it. Hey at least we get payed well.

  10. Sounds kind of dangerous on UK Satellites May Keep Cars From Speeding · · Score: 1

    Cutting off your speed by activating a speed limiter on the car when you don't know it's gonna happen. On a malibu i rented it stops at 170km/h whitch is a little un-nerving when passing a line of tranport trucks with on coming traffic, but at least i know it's gonna happen. Just imagine if you are trying to evade police and all of a sudden your car just slows down as your weaving in and out of a school zone marked 40 whil passing a bus. You may lose control, spin out into a swiingset and kill 8 kids and their dog. Thank god my supra has no limiter

  11. Not much of a comparison on G4 vs. Athlon Review · · Score: 1

    I would have to partially that with a previous post about the chips being uncomparable. What is a better mode of transportantion? a 1976 Jeep CJ or a 2000 NSX. Obviously a jeep is better for one thing but an NSX is amazing for others. Same quite uncomparable. but if you compare things like how they handle in their respective targets? that is answerable. The CJ is one of the besthandling stock off road vehicles made, and the NSX is one of the best onroad handling cars. They both handle very well and use different methods to get to their equal level of quality. Now Back to the chips the article. I think the article shows more that they are both great at the same things in their target applications as opposed to who plays quake better. Good article, Good Comparision, (my new Athlon 700 smokes..)

    my res for last year was to make a friend at ontario hydro and persuade him/her to flick the switch at midnight(the ultimate prank) sad to say but with only 13 hours I may not complete this one. oh well another one bytes the dust. this year? well mine is well a little less destructive. my res is to get my truck painted 1 color with no primer and no duct tape... well maybe the duct tape can stay... the moral of me wasting your time? new years is just another day and if you need an excuse to get something done then it probably won't happen. eg) NT---Blue Screen NT -- Uptime Nt -- Y2K compliant???
