  1. Out of price range, yet cool on Ask Slashdot: Open-Source Forensic Surveillance Analysis Software? · · Score: 1

    Clearly out of price range, however this is a pretty cool solution: http://www.boeingvsoc.com/. Does everything from 2d and 3d modeling to multi camera angles on a building.

  2. Re:Good luck guinea pigs! on Boeing To Deliver First 787 Today · · Score: 2

    Actually, I think you have the numbers mixed up. The current stat looks like: 1,779 flights over 8 aircrafts logging in total 5,043 hrs., 35 minutes of flight time. That's close to double what the A380 has.. Let me know if you're reading that differently. All I know is that between the two of these aircrafts - they've practically tested the wings off of them! Kudos to the aviation industry! And to the original comment, a company like Boeing or Airbus isn't going to release a plane that hasn't been sufficiently tested.

    The dreamliner has logged more flight testing and more flight-time hours testing than any other aircraft. ever. If Boeing had the remotest thought that it would crash, they'd delay and delivery a completed product, as such they are today. http://787flighttest.com/

    This is awesome!! Here we go astrophysics lab in star trek!!

  5. Re:Save everything that can move away fast enough? on Robots To Clear the Baltic Seafloor of WW-II Mines · · Score: 2, Informative

    "Approximately 100,000 km2 (38,610 sq mi) of the Baltic's seafloor (a quarter of its total area) is a variable dead zone." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_Sea .. Right from wikipedia, guess there is less to worry about than one would think

  6. Re:Mines that old really still dangerous? on Robots To Clear the Baltic Seafloor of WW-II Mines · · Score: 1

    They sure don't make things like they used too.

  7. Save everything that can move away fast enough?.. on Robots To Clear the Baltic Seafloor of WW-II Mines · · Score: 0, Troll

    So scare everything away that can move fast enough.. then detonate a 5kg bomb, which detonates a larger 300 kg bomb... What about the plants? and stuff that can't move away fast enough?

  8. Re:What about MySQL? on Oracle Buys Sun · · Score: 1

    They ought to spin MySQL off to it's own company again.

  9. Fresh blood to fight the good fight on Interviewing Experienced IT People? · · Score: 1

    I think it's paramount that fresh blood be brought in so it's not the same old folks who feel trapped in the system, and don't have enough fire in their hearts to go fight the fight anymore when someone says "you can't" for "insert stock response." I think that kind of person can be young or old, just typically found more with students fresh out of college.

  10. Re:Why dont they call it what it is? on Hands-On With Windows 7's New Features · · Score: 1

    Totally agree. To further that, we could make the analogy that Vista is like Windows ME.. If we were to say that ME was like 98 on steroids. Thus, Vista is like XP on steroids.

  11. Nice product. Let's finish strong. on Hands-On With Windows 7's New Features · · Score: 1

    First off, I think that's a job well done thus far. I think itâ(TM)s awesome that Microsoft is putting out an operating system as innovative as this. To have the multi-touch from their R&D department finally integrated into their OS is a giant leap toward seamless user interfaces. Hopefully, Microsoft will be able to fully integrate PCs running this with their Microsoft Surface product and continue to develop the technology into a wider full solution for a familyâ(TM)s home of PCs, not just one or two.
