  1. Direct link to documentary on 500 Million Halo Games, Halo 3 Documentary · · Score: 1

    For those who don't want to go through the Gamespot article, here's the direct link to the Halo 3 documentary on Bungie's page.

  2. Re:This is filed under "humor?" on Stupid Engineering Mistakes · · Score: 1

    It's not funny to the 21 people who died.

  3. Re:So why version 2.0? on Firefox 2 Alpha 2 Reviewed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because version numbers don't mean anything nowadays. Back in the day, they used to mean something. Now the version numbers are just marketing.

    Monkey Island 5

  5. Re:the question isn't CAN you do it.. on Automating Future Aircraft Carriers · · Score: 1

    Skiff vs. CG and DDG, wonder how that's going to turn out.

  6. Re:On the bright side... on SpaceX's Falcon 1 Destroyed During Maiden Voyage · · Score: 1

    On the bottom of the sea. Probably not much of a crater, but I'm sure the rocket made some kind of dent. Water currents will take care of that in no time.

  7. Re:On the bright side... on SpaceX's Falcon 1 Destroyed During Maiden Voyage · · Score: 1

    The rocket crashed into the Pacific. There would be no crater. At least not on the surface.

  8. Re:Actually... on New Star Wars TV Series Confirmed · · Score: 1
    Are you sure Obi-Wan didn't recognize them or was he just being coy about it?

    Reminds me of something I read awhile back... A New Sith, or Revenge of the Hope, Reconsidering Star Wars IV in the light of I-III

  10. Re:Ahhh yes on A First Look at AMD's M2 Platform · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well... I'll give the /. editors a break here because the linked article says exactly what the quoted text says. So one could blame the editors over at Tom's Hardware.

  11. Anandtech on A First Look at AMD's M2 Platform · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'd rather read the AnandTech article on AM2

  12. Re:Evidence may have been blown away on NASA Begins Work on Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter · · Score: 1

    Uh, no. I suggest you go read Bad Astronomy's Moon Hoax stuff. It explains where there were no flames from the rocket and how the dust thing.

  13. Re:I don't see much value on Apple to Buy out Palm? · · Score: 1

    Except that Palm probably doesn't own any of the BeOS code. Palm is the hardware remnants of Palm, Inc. The software part was spun off as PalmSource, which was bought by ACCESS.

  14. Re:Buying palm, or buying BeOS? on Apple to Buy out Palm? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm not sure that Palm owns any of the BeOS code anymore. Palm is surviving hardware part of the Palm, Inc. Formerly known as PalmOne. The software part became PalmSource, which was bought by ACCESS.

    So Apple being Palm would get them a bunch of hardware. I don't think Apple needs their hardware.

  15. Re:A slippery slope to a full-blown racket? on AOL and Yahoo to Offer Filter Circumvention · · Score: 1

    Read the original /. story and you'll see that you're not likely to need to pay the fee. The fee is intended for high volume mailing lists. I doubt that your 500 subscribers is going to fall under the high volume limit.

  16. Re:Uhh, Zonk? on Google Execs Happy With $1 Salaries · · Score: 1
    These sales are pre-planned. Doesn't matter what the price of the stock was or if they felt that the stock was going up or down, the sale was going to happen. Read the end of the article:

    But the Googlers' stock sales were carefully planned before the search giant went public. Unlike insider sales that are made by company executives accused of unloading stock right before a suspected downturn, the Google executives' sales were decided long ago. They were coordinated under a schedule that allows insiders to pre-arrange the sale of a certain number of shares over a period of time.

    The plan, called a 10b5-1, allows them to sell stock on a regular basis without appearing as though they are reacting to market movements up or down. When they announced that they were adopting the plan in 2004, Google said that after the sales were completed Brin and Page would each retain more than 80 percent of their current holdings and Schmidt would retain nearly 85 percent.

    Or check the Insider Transactions on Yahoo. Notice how it says "Automatic Sale"?

  17. Partially wrong! on NASA Overjoyed at Catch From Stardust · · Score: 1
    I was partially wrong.

    On Side A of the collector, the particles are from the comet. On Side B of the collector, the particles are from the cruise phase so that would be interstellar particles. However, none of this was "space junk".

    So I was correct 2 out of 3 times.

    See the Press Kit on the Stardust mission

  18. Re:They are so overjoyed I suppose they are on NASA Overjoyed at Catch From Stardust · · Score: 1
    Start of a "winning streak"?

    You've got selective memory in just recalling the Genesis mission. You forgot: Spirit, Opportunity, Cassini-Huygens, Deep Impact, and Swift.

    And successful launches for things on it's way: Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and MESSENGER.

    I probably forget a few, too.

  19. Re:There goes interstellar travel on NASA Overjoyed at Catch From Stardust · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Space junk" is stuff left over in Earth orbit from stuff we've put up there. Stardust didn't collect "space junk" particles, just cometary particles. The collector was only deployed when it went through the comet's coma. During the trip to the comet and back, the collector was stowed.

    CableCard support is coming soon from ATI. See the AnandTech preview of ATI's OCUR.

  21. Re:LED? on OEM Hard Drive With Window · · Score: 1

    The non-clear cover Western Digital 150GB SATA drive is being sold for $295 at Newegg. Also, the price quoted is direct from WD, so I imagine that the $350 is a bit higher than what you could get it for if you shop around.

    Because they're getting their butts handed to them in the market. So in desperation, they have turned to the legal system. Sound familiar?

    You didn't read the article very carefully...

    Though announced yesterday, the phenomenon was first noted in 2001 in work by Sigurdur Thoroddsen and Amy Shen, who were then at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
