  1. University Dorm on NASA Releases Video Tour of the ISS · · Score: -1

    Does any sat or cable co have NASA TV HD? or do they not have it as it is very part time and then nasa should make it 24/7 HD.

  2. Re: on Mars, Mercury May Have Formed From Earth and Venus · · Score: -1

    It's even worse than *that*!Earth and Venus are known as "sister planets".And as hot as that is, I'm still going to have to disapprove.

  3. Re:Reactionary. on Whistleblower Claims NSA Spied On Everyone, Targeted Media · · Score: -1

    Even reporters have forgotten what it means to be a reporter. At least KO won't bury the story.

  4. Re: on Britannica Goes After Wikipedia and Google · · Score: -1

    porn-peddler Wales managed to fob Wikipedia off as a "nonprofit" site, and convinced Google not to downgrade its linking weight according to the formula they use for all the other linkfarms out there.

  5. Where's the motivation on Cellphone Networks Survive Inauguration, Mostly · · Score: -1

    Can't agree more.. Please don't actually TALK on your unlimited plan. Please use text messaging, as its basically free for us to send through the network, and we get to charge you $0.25 each for them! (and in reality, they charge twice for one message sent/received)

  6. Re: on Sniping Could Be the Next Killer iPod App · · Score: -1

    Yeah, I also found it tasteless. Center-of-mass hits are much more reliable than head shots.No, you have to remember that the only way to kill a zombie is by shooting it in the head

    Waiting patiently for Mentats, eh?

    I've often thought that about the Israel / Palestine conflict. Just lock them in a room and tell them to sort it out.

  9. Re:Slow Justice is No Justice on EC Considering Removing Internet Explorer From Windows · · Score: -1

    Firefox or Apple with Safari didnt need a lawsuit. They are doing fine. They are standard compliant. And IE keeps loosing market shares.

  10. Re: on Gaming Netflix Ratings? · · Score: -1

    Doesn't Netflix only service the U.S. though?

  11. Re: on Best FOSS Active Directory Alternative? · · Score: -1

    I'd say that's an assumption more than anything. The codebase for NT4 file sharing is not the same as in Samba. Over there years there have been times where some weird tweaks needed to be made to the Samba configs or the registries on the client machines to make things operate properly. It could just be that JET is a piece of crap. ;-)

  12. Re: on How Best To Deal With WiFi Interference? · · Score: -1

    I have also heard that increasing the power increases the strength of internal reflections in a room or building. It's like trying to shout louder in an echo chamber - you won't be able to make yourself understood.

  13. Re: on YouTube Coming To the PS3 and Wii · · Score: -1

    Did I miss something? I didn't buy the internet channel; I got it for free. Of course, when I got it, it was a free beta test of the internet channel, buuuut it does everything the regular internet channel does, and if I go to the Wii Shop, it doesn't have an option to purchase the internet channel, and shows me as already having downloaded the internet channel. So, if they made it cost money now, it was free for pretty much the first year that the Wii was being sold (if not longer, as I got the internet

  14. Re: on 1 In 3 Windows PCs Still Vulnerable To Worm Attack · · Score: -1

    So don't go through the automated process. Send them to Microsoft's Security Bulletin Search and they can search for the updates by hand. I do this for my 2K system and my parents XP systems. Not because the systems aren't legitimate but because we have dial-up and getting automated updates would take forever. I just d/l the patches at work, plop them on my thumb drive and install. One caveat. Every so often there is a patch/update which does require you to validate your system. You are notifie

  15. What for? on China Makes Arrests To Stop Internet Porn · · Score: -1

    That is actually not entirely true. Many Chinese people still do not see our point-of-view and perspectives. "Brainwash" is probably the closest colloquial term I can think of at the moment, without the science hoo-ha.The belief that the Chinese government is good and all-powerful is rooted in their society; in other words, they are BROUGHT UP thinking the Chinese government is good, so asking those people if the government is good is moot. It is analogous to why boys like car toys or action-hero figurines

  16. Re: on Streaming the Inauguration In a School? · · Score: -1

    This should be a no brainer, unless they don't have a gym for some reason.

  17. Re:That is as expected. The next thing you know.. on Collateral Damage as UK Censors Internet Archive · · Score: -1

    Kids aren't raised by parents today, and the average teacher doesn't do much of that either. Kids are raised by TV, computer, and video games.

  18. Re: on Future Astronauts May Survive On Eating Silkworms · · Score: -1

    There has been work on a artificial magnetosphere as most of the damaging radiation in deep space is actually charged particles, not gamma rays.There will also need to be a "safe room" in case of a solar flare. I believe that the ISS has one of these.

  19. She should start by definging "funny" on Four In Ten People Will Laugh At Anything · · Score: -1

    Umm, that joke was funny.

  20. No keyboard - two mice. on Apple Introduces "MacBook Wheel" · · Score: -1

    Dialing a phone with a rotary wheel will actually be a whole lot easier in my mind than typing an email with a whole wheel. I don't see how this process is faster than me typing exactly what I want. Imagine trying to program with that thing. Predictive text will not be any help with odd variables names and punctuation marks all over the place. This to me is definitely overkill.

  21. What? on How Does a 9/80 Work Schedule Work Out? · · Score: -1

    "I don't think it's a bad idea, but I'm not all that fond of having to work till 8pm once a week." Why would you work so late at night? 9 hours is easy...work 8am till 5pm...eat at your desk through lunch while working and bam...9 hours billed. I mean, sure, if you leave for lunch, you gotta stay till 6 or so for that hour missed at lunch, but, reallly...how often do you do that. Just don't take an lunch our..and the day goes quickly.

  22. Re: on Comet Lulin Is Moving Closer To Earth · · Score: -1

    I'd laugh, but its not as funny knowing you'd have to black out the entire city in order to get rid of the light pollution.
