  1. my desk on The Ultimate Computer Desk? · · Score: 1

    is just an old deep office desk.. it fits my monitor.. speakers.. and 2 pcs on it.. well and keyboard and mouse... works ok BUT I am thinking of making/building a custom desk someday to just fit an upgrade of 3 pcs plus a couple of Uspace of rack servers. :)

  2. actually... on Stolen Enigma Machine Recovered In Style · · Score: 4

    a 1971 UN agreement says anything stolen as war booty before 1971 is finders keepers. and the country that stole it can keep it. Same thing as the Rosetta Stone.. its from Egypt.. Egypt wants it back.. its in ENgland.. england stole it as war booty and refuses to return it because of the same 1971 agreement saying because of that agreement IT now owns the stone.

  3. Capt Kittinger 4min 37 sec 85k feet freefall on Sub-Orbital Skydiving · · Score: 2

    The longest delayed skydive was made by Capt. Joseph W. Kittinger, who dropped 25,820 m. (84,700 ft.) from a balloon at Tularosa, New Mexico, USA, on August 16, 1960. He fell for 4 min. 37 sec. before his parachute was deployed automatically. In Kittinger Park in Orlando Florida the sign says that PLUS that he hit mach 1 BREIFLY while falling. IF this woman plans to jump from TWICE as far up.. shouldnt that mean a 8 min freefall? That I would love to do.

  4. No Problem..I'll go work overseas.... on H-1B Visas Increased In 96-To-1 Vote · · Score: 1

    I am probally going to work overseas anyways. Pay is better. Quality of Life is better. Hell even the first $60k you earn is tax free. More people come here to work.. more people should go overseas to work so you wont pay as much taxes. You dont pay taxes.. the Govt earns less.. if for every H-1B that comes here if one person in the tech industry goes overseas and doesnt pay taxes on the first $60k the govt will see its not worth it to drive GOOD american workers away.
