  1. Re:navigation maps on First Floating Wind Turbine Buoyed Off Norway · · Score: 1

    It is comparatively small, even when compared to an island, and it is almost definitely detectable by radar, and very few ships travelling in that region don't have radar.

  2. Re:Extension cord on First Floating Wind Turbine Buoyed Off Norway · · Score: 1

    If we can lay telephone cables across the Atlantic, we can plug a windmill into the grid.

  3. Re:I, for one, welcome our new DRM overlords. on DRM Group Set To Phase Out "Analog Hole" · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I hope they have baked cookies for the angry mod that will be outside thier offices tomorrow morning

    Angry mobs like cookies..

  4. Re:Not always... on Supreme Court Declines Case Over Techs' Right To Search Your PC · · Score: 1

    On the desktop under: "Stay away cops" I really doubt the techie actually spent a lot of time searching the computer, so they were most likely in an obvious place.

  5. It works great, until... on DIY 18-ft.-High Robotic Exoskeleton · · Score: 1

    It worked great, until he walked under the magnet at the rubbish tip...

  6. Re:OLPC? on California To Move To Online Textbooks · · Score: 5, Interesting

    And the schools will charge the printing costs to the California Government, costing $360 million. Problem solved.

  7. Re:Yay! on Sequoia Disclosing Voting System Source To DC · · Score: 1
    Wow, a 3 word comment, essentially trolling got modded insightful +4

    How the hell do you program something to deliver more votes than voters? Someone seriously needs to work out what the hell is going on...

  8. Re:Blu-Ray... on Motion Control To Lengthen Console Hardware Cycles · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The life blood of gaming, less casual, more hardcore gamers, are the ones who play games like Oblivion, Unreal Tournament, Starcraft, Diablo, etc.

    Hardcore gamers the lifeblood of gaming! The wii has been incredibly sucessful because it allows people to pick up a controller and play. By being the cheapest console, Nintendo sacrificed hardcore gaming for casual gamers, and earned bucketloads off it.

  9. Re:It's not going to happen on Buying a Domain From a Cybersquatter · · Score: 1

    Sure, $5000 is more tempting than $500, but any sensible business owner will realise quite quickly that they should take the $500 when there's no chance of them getting the $5000.

    Yes, but these guys aren't sensible

  10. Re:recent on Buying a Domain From a Cybersquatter · · Score: 1

    slightly immoral that, sure they're ruining the internet for others... but they are just trying to make some money.

  11. Parent wears a Tinfoil hat to work on The Real British X-Files · · Score: 0, Troll

    Remember to wear your tinfoil hat when you go outdoors, and don't forget to tell everyone that we never landed on the moon. Paranoia and distrust of the Government should only be taken so far.

  12. Re:Our tax dollars at work. on When Your Backhoe Cuts "Black" Fiber · · Score: 5, Funny

    They probably "fudge" the paperwork on their important wires, these are just decoys *Puts on tinfoil hat*

  13. How is this the same instrument on Software Enables Re-Creation of 'Lost' Instrument · · Score: 1

    To quote TFA, they created an instrument based on one no one has ever seen before, how is this the same instrument? It is simply an instrument that might make similar sounds, and probably looks quite different...

  14. Re:But... on Windows 7 Hard Drive and SSD Performance Analyzed · · Score: 1

    two things: a. DNFTT b. He was right the first time,

  15. Re:Scary on North Korea Conducts Nuclear Test · · Score: 1

    Just how is this flamebait?, the parent is giving one of the most reasoned arguments I have seen in this thread.

  16. Re:Consciousness - right track / wrong track on Towards Artificial Consciousness · · Score: 1

    It's skynet/skycat trying to lull us into a sense of complacency.

  17. Re:Why burn them up? on Russia To Save Its ISS Modules · · Score: 1

    But what about when they all line up, our world will be flooded by incredible tides, and it will split apart into thousands of pieces due to the conflicting gravity, *runs for the hills*

  18. The World's Greatest Spectator Sport on Computer Chess Programs Vie "Live" For World Championship · · Score: 3, Funny

    Better than lawnbowls AND curling, chess played by computers is the most popular spectator sport...

  19. Re:Call of Duty 4, anyone? on When Does It Become OK To Make Games About a War? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a perfect example of a modern war game that hasn't gotten too much flack.

    Yes, but it wasn't based as strongly on a real life conflict, this game was based strongly on a conflict, and it also presents it from the non-American view from what I can make out from the feature article

  20. first post! on Is a $72.5m Opening Weekend Enough For Star Trek? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Star trek will get the loyal fans from the earlier movies, Wolverine had less of a fan base

  21. Re:17,000 mph sounds like it's fast on Challenges Ahead In Final Hubble Servicing Mission · · Score: 1

    So 17,000mph may sound fast, but given that the satellite itself is traveling the same speed, the astronauts don't really have to think about that.

    But 17 000mph sounds SO cool!

    Anyone know how much this mission is costing? I think it is great, but I really like big numbers....

  22. Sounds... good on South Carolina To Give 1 Laptop Per School Child · · Score: 1

    This seems to be a good initiative, it would be better aimed at high schools though surely? Primary school aged children are less likely to need their own laptop.

  23. Better for the environment, but on Natural Gas "Cleaning" Extracts Valuable Waste Carbon · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You are still going to run out of gas eventually, this just means that we don't hurt the environment as much in the process.

  24. Re:Reccesions on New Neutrino Detector Being Built In Minnesota · · Score: 1

    Thanks for that. DNRTFA, but what the hell is a neutrino detector for?

  25. Re:Define "Short Distance" on Using Light's Handedness To Find Alien Life · · Score: 1

    There was a recent discovery of a planet in what is considered the "Habitable Zone" Gliese 581. This is 20ly from Earth. Doesn't necessarily mean they can detect light off it though.
