    In this aspect I disagree... Microsoft has turned windows media player into the worst piece of crap I have ever used and deserves a black eye.

  6. Re:All the studies show on Red Brains vs. Blue Brains? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe if people had to depend on their children to take care of them when they get old, they would try a little harder at being half decent parents...

    The reason they can't understand you is because you call 'reading' something stupid like 'cognitive input formatting' (not correct I am just making up a equally stupid term)
    It pseudo science to me.

    I would say that an adults reaction to not having a word to express a concept is much different than a childs.

    This will replace the disposable film camera, which does NOT get recycled, and ends up in the landfill.

    "Look Lois, the two symbols of the Republican Party: an elephant, and a fat white guy who is threatened by change."

  19. Re:This is awesome... on NASA Gives OK to Fix Hubble Telescope · · Score: 1

    Sorry, your FOS. My brother in particular was developing data aquisition/sensor arrays for the SSC, and when the SSC was cut lost his project. He still thought it was a waste of money.

    I for one, welcome our new Hubble fixing overlords....

  21. Re:This is awesome... on NASA Gives OK to Fix Hubble Telescope · · Score: 1

    I know of several physicists that were against the SSC... it was a pork barrel project and the funding would of been more wisely spent on smaller/basic research projects.

    What do you mean 'ready for the desktop'?? If windows and all its flavors evaporated from the earth, the void would be filled by linux. Admitably there would be some grumbling but the world would move on.....
