    I don't think it takes a lot of heat to get helium to boil. Aren't chain reactions the province of the other end of the periodic table?

  3. Can somebody send dementors after him please? on Harry Potter Leaked Via Handheld Camera · · Score: 1

    And, no - I did not RTFA just in case there were real spoilers.

  4. Re:Design and Evolution on Bad Security Driving Out the Good · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... from your examples it looks like it doesn't even have to be good enough :-D

  5. Re:Rare diamond? on A Million-Dollar Laptop Created · · Score: 1

    Until I read about the diamond I was sure that the price difference was because of the Hyper/Uber/Premium/Diamond/Infinity/Vanity version of Windows Vista!

  6. Re:I cant wait for the video release on Giant Squid Caught on Film · · Score: 1

    Come on now! It's obvious what happened there: they just didn't have any napkins handy.

  7. New VMS users? on An Interview With Mark Gorham Of OpenVMS · · Score: 1

    From the article: "...between 10 to 15 percent of our business comes for accounts that are new to OpenVMS"

    I was under the impression that most companies would want to be migrating away from OpenVMS. Anybody have any good reasons why a company would want to adopt it nowadays?

  8. Re:Years away on New Advances Bring Fusion Closer to Reality · · Score: 1

    "And by the way, the classic quote was '50' years, not 15!"

    Certainly this means that progress is, indeed, being made.

  9. Re:local geology on Fl. County Halts FTTP Until Installation Is Safer · · Score: 1

    Not too many gas lines around here. Most people use electric stoves, washers and dryers instead.

  10. Re:Poetic... on IT's Musical Habits · · Score: 1

    Have to mention that "I'm a Slave 4 U" and "(You Drive Me) Crazy" reflects the admins' relationship with Microsoft.

    ... the chairman of the anti-spam committee will be the representative from Nigeria.

    Don't you mean Zinc oxide? (KFM reference)

  13. More work to do... on Zinc Whiskers Cripple Colorado's Computers · · Score: 5, Funny

    I guess we have to shave all zinc cats before we let them into the building.

  14. Numbers as brand names on Google to be Sued Over Name? · · Score: 1

    It's time that someone stops the insanity!

    Unchecked, numbers like 6, 323, 929, 330, 545 and 760 are fair game!

    Next thing you know they'll be using a variant of infinity as a car brand.

  15. Re:USB? Hazza! on Swedish Carbon-Fiber Stealth Ship Runs NT · · Score: 2, Funny

    And no cannibalism.

    "There is no cannibalism in the British Navy, absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount."

  19. Re:Wait.. on Longhorn Skinning A Reality · · Score: 1

    Better yet, what about "flaying"?

  20. Re:Readers might also enjoy on Everything and More · · Score: 1

    This is one of the best mathematics books I've ever read. I actually bought a couple of copies for my siblings. I guess that explains the very weird looks during my last visit.

    Anyway, I wish I had this book in high school before I ended up being a Zero myself ;-)

  23. Re:I thought I would do this... on WB Cancels Angel · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You're doing yourself a disservice if you do not watch the second season of Babylon 5 before deciding if the series is any good.

    When I watched the first season of B5 I thought it was nothing special especially with Deep Space 9 as an alternative. However, the story arc really tightens in the second and the wait between episodes suddenly becomes unbearable. This continous on towards the fourth season. Because of uncertainty as to whether there would've been a fifth season JMS had to wrap up a lot of story lines by the end of the fourth and so the fifth season ended up being a bit of dissapointment in comparison.

  24. Re:Really bad pun - let's get it out of the way no on Interplanetary Network (IPN) Tested · · Score: 1
