  1. But... on Cray's CX1 Desktop Supercomputer, Now For Sale · · Score: 1

    But... does it come oil cooled? The most expenstive one that I was able to configure was $135,812.00. That seems quite cheap.

  2. LucasArts on The State of Piracy and DRM In PC Gaming · · Score: 1

    LucasArts hasn't made a good PC game in a long time.

    Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 wasn't that long ago.

  3. Camera tracking on Simulation of the Mars Science Laboratory Sky Crane · · Score: 1

    It seems like their virtual cameraman had difficulty follwing the aeroshell. I was half expecting the film to switch in and out of focus, or to catch the boom mike in the corner of the frame.
    But, seriously, awesome tech and awesome video. That's the kind of thing that would make me want to become an engineer, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one. If they keep this up, it think it's very likely that everyone will remember how cool space exploration is.

  4. Personal Genome Project on Scientists To Post Individuals' DNA Sequences To Web · · Score: 2, Funny

    Apparently, PGP != Pretty Good Privacy.

    But, seriously, I doubt that there's anything useful that a non-research-geneticist could do with the data, even if it was public.

  5. Fixed! on NASA To Repair Hubble By Remote Control · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hubble

    There, fixed that for you, NASA.

  6. 'Car' speeds? on Software Holds Cell Phone Calls While Driving · · Score: 1

    software that detects if a cell phone is moving at 'car' speeds

    What happens if you're on a train? Or if you have a very fast car?
