  1. Re:So little progress in aerospace. on The Flying Giant Is 40 Years Old · · Score: 1

    No, we can not use a 747 to run manned space flights, goto the moon, or fix the ISS. Not that they couldnt do it, but i dont know of any airlines that are charted to that territory

  2. DA, da , da-da-da-DA-DA!! It was a dark time ... on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 1

    Bush: And what of the Rebellion? If the Rebels have obtained a complete technical readout of this station, it is possible, however unlikely, that they might find a weakness and exploit it.

    Obama: The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.

    Bush: Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they've obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use it!

    Obama: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

    Obama: Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Obama. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebel's hidden fort...

    Suddenly Bush chokes and starts to turn blue under Obama's spell.

    Obama: I find your lack of faith disturbing.

  3. Re:Before you start screaming about this. on Torvalds Rejects One-Size-Fits-All Linux · · Score: 1

    That just goes to show that linux distro X CAN be admined by someone who knows distro Y. There all they same .. a big difference - slapt-get, portage, ports, source, rpms ... there all easy to learn, and thats the only difference between distros. but whos to say oyu cant use apt-get on suse? or portages on slackware? thats the beauty: its all the same.
    Linux will never die, there will never be ONE distro, and Im posting all of this from a FreeBSD box :) ~Cheers

    the linux default package management system: source tarballs.
    You cant have one linux distro. Like everyone is saying, there too many different needs. I run slackware when i want development and stability. My mom runs Ubuntu cuz shes need to linux, you run minix (linux?) when the computer is old ... use knoppix for on the fly OS, etc ... this isnt windows here people, we dont run bloated shit. your talking about putting all the cheese in one can, it just wont fit!

  5. Re:Why... on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 2, Funny

    We kinda do the same thing, our servers are named form the solar system. mars, jupiter, saturn, mercury . moons too: phobos etc ... There easy names to remember, and a good scheme ... Too bad we couldnt use starwars themes ... The death star is down, reboot!

    For future reference, the lyric is "dub", not "doubt".

    Ok, i feel dumb for that one. I know its dub, i was typing to fast ...

  8. Re:I doubt thee Unforgiven on Guitar Hero: Metallica Setlist Released · · Score: 1

    I have played it, its fun, but i dont have time .. any time i do have, id rather play my really guitar, and actually get valuable experience out of it ... on the other hand, I need my attached physics lab to do anything useful ...
    I have heard that alot of guitarists have problems with playing GH ... its too simplified or something .. it is funt hough ,,, specially when you have a few drinks in you ;)

  9. I doubt thee Unforgiven on Guitar Hero: Metallica Setlist Released · · Score: 1

    Yea no Jump in the Fire .. oh wait.. Ill just pick up my REAL guitar and play it. Metallica is my favorite band (since i was 6) and always will be .. but i dont play guiatr hero (cuz i can play guitar) so it doesnt bother me.. and although the the engineer might have messed up on the compression of DM ... I still thinkg it was a good ass album (better than load/ reload, st. anger, etc ...)

  14. Spock cares! on Russia's Mars Mission Raising Concerns · · Score: 1

    They talk about some day Mars supporting life, the only way that will happen is if they Terraform and bring life from Earth to mars, that means bacteria and all. eventually these probes will basically be a Noah's ark space capsule. It don't think here should be a problem, as long as they're not filling the planet will small pox, aids or something like that. I would think that in the future when we do start to inhabit mars (yes, it will happen) the first things to go there will be bacteria and small organisms to start creating the right gases for the atmosphere. A lot of CO2 to warm up the atmosphere, and start storms. I'm not much of a biologist (or whomever does this stuff) but I've seen a few discovery channel shows, and seeing monkeys fucks just tells me that life on mars is possible.

  15. Re:Is this really news. Yes -- Old News. on Using Your BlackBerry As a Modem On Linux · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    kind of off topic, but go through every post, and read BlackBerry or BB as Butt buddy ;)

  16. Re:Mac OS X? I've been doing this in Linux for yea on Using Your BlackBerry As a Modem On Linux · · Score: 1

    I found a module for the linux kernel amr-modem, which alows you to send modem commands to your phone. I have my Motorola Razr hooked up via USB, and linxu automagically loaded the module, and then i could talk to my phone via Terminal. Although im not sure if you could use this as internet access (thats what i was trying to do, but never succeeded), but basically being able to use my phone as a modem for my laptop. Great idea, except AT&T is kind of expensive to do that.

    I think so too.
    as much as i know itll hurt us when they leave, other things will come up in their place. Also, I doubt that they would be able to get away from all gasoline engines , where a new company starting from the ground up can accommodate much easier.

    I got the memo, it said G-dub gave them 14billion dollars, I would hope this money isnt going to just get wasted.
    One thing ive always wondered, if i had a lot of money, if id be greedy too ... I would think not, but then again im sure alot of honest people have been pulled down by it.

  25. Re:Ideal location on Hawaii Planning State-Wide Electric Car Network · · Score: 1

    Well, maybe your family would want to goto the Eel Pout Festival which is held everyear in my home town, Walker, MN. Its basically three days of drinking and fishing. about 10,000 people hit the ice and try to win competitions in best fish houses, most fish caught, biggest fish caught, etc... Its alot of fun, and well worth coming up here for. Normally you get the Coors light Humvee up here driving around, the Red bull truck, and then always the girls in bathing suits, sitting in hot tubs getting pulled around on the ice with 4-wheelers.
    Heres a good pic of The Beaver Lodge on the ice. Someones fishhouse/party house
