  1. Re:desalination treatment? on City Beneath The Sea · · Score: 1

    Anything brought up (aside from gold I presume) is treated. Otherwise it turns to mush. (And as for the tablet, its outer layers would chip away.)

    Being submerged in sea water for 2000 years won't do much damage is there is no air and sunlight as well.

  2. More Info on City Beneath The Sea · · Score: 1

    The city was found in 1996 and is under 30 feet of water. They just NOW retrieved some of the artifacts.

    Here is MUCH more official here : http://www.frankGoddio.org/english/projects/abouki r/mission/mission_01.asp

    "Franck Goddio is best known for discovering the ancient royal city of Alexandria and Napoleon's lost fleet in the Bay of Aboukir. He has found more than ten historically valuable sunken ships. Franck Goddio is a founder and Chairman of the Franck Goddio Society."

  3. Makes me want one too. HDTV? on Capture MPEG From TiVo · · Score: 1

    To me this would ben and Ideal feature of the TivO and I now envy those with this toy.

    It's amazing to think we have go so long with out any kind of high quality digital broadcast video for you computer screen. It seems to me that HDTV would be a huge success. There are far more computer monitors in the world than there are TV sets with a video system worth a crap.

    It's making MS look bad, Link to it! :)

  5. Incandescent = The Devil on The Lamps Are The Network · · Score: 1

    I just feel the need to say that the Incandescent light bulb should have been banned 20 years ago.

    Sure flourescents have a flicker problem, but thats just because the USA runs on 60hz.. THERE is the problem. (Don't you think electricity would transmit more efficiently at a higher frequency?)

    If every house switched one 100 watt incandescent to one 30 watt flouro, that would save 70million watts just in the united states. (Thats 70million watts 24/7) Of course this translates into so many million tons of carbon being released into the air too!

    Oh, and another thing, we have enough power here. Otherwise we would be in black-out right this minute. We just need to stop being stupid about so many things.

    If every house built generated 100watts (say one major appliance or a water heater was required to be solar.) Well, that would actually be more than 100watts, but you get what I'm saying? It should be law that any house built must have some form of solar/renewable energy.

    We are so stupid.

  6. I enjoy updating on Apple Releases - Doing Less, Faster, Is Better? · · Score: 1

    Many people enjoy updating their software. While I have not even installed OSX yet, it makes me happy there have been regular updates. MS may release 1 or 2 software upates per year and they release 10 or 20 SECURITY updates per year.

  7. Re:Someone has been taking bong hits, maybe? on Diamonds Are A Space Station's Best Friend · · Score: 1

    The spaceship LEXX is in the shape of a dragonfly. (TV Series on SCI-FI channel)

  8. Value of Diamonds on Diamonds Are A Space Station's Best Friend · · Score: 5

    The worldwide diamond market is cornered by ONE COMPANY. (Someone find the name for me, thanks.)

    They carefully control the quantity and quality of diamonds released to the public so that the level of supply and demand remains constant.

    There are so many diamonds available that if even a fraction of them were released the value of diamonds would fall to nothing.

    If it were not for this fact, I would assume that synthetic diamonds would be far more expensive than real ones.

    But I feel synthetic gems would be required for manufacturing since you would have a billion identical.

  13. Thanks on 20 Ways The World Could End · · Score: 1

    Your post should be moderated up. The only thing you failed to mention was a "1-Click" or "Open-Source" or "Spam" other than that it is a work of art

  14. Re:Funny = Gay on 20 Ways The World Could End · · Score: 1

    Thank you for proving my point. Maybe if I tell a funny worthless joke it will be deemed the most important contribution to the article ever imagined. Slashdot get some moderators that are over the age of 14.

  15. Color Image Released... on Jupiter As From Cassini · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Hmm... on Jupiter As From Cassini · · Score: 1

    The pressure would be to great anway. They would need to focus on 'floating' a probe at a safe level of Jupiter's atmosphere. From there they could study the core.

  17. Re:Jupiter on Jupiter As From Cassini · · Score: 1

    Remember, this is just the FIRST test image from the probe and no way near a final product. The probe is still 50million miles away.

  18. Re:What to they orbit around? on Planets Without Stars · · Score: 1

    Ok, so 27000mph, the closest one is 1200 Light years away. When should we start updating our science books again?

    (BTW, there are 18 of these planets discovered by the same 'team'.)

  20. Re:my thoughts on Planets Without Stars · · Score: 1

    You seem to believe only what you read. It looks like you have missed out on some reading.

    This planet was probably placed in its current position by a race of advanced beings in order to create an isolated home free from the dangers of being near a solar mass.

    This Judge isnt thinking very hard is he. We will always develop a technology to recover what we once thought was lost forever.

  24. Re:Totally childish on Apple Advertises "1-Click" Licensing · · Score: 1

    Also, think about why it dropped 52%.... Lets see they are gonna see a (huge) profit that just happens to be 25% less than the ANALYSTS Thought. Thats their friggan mistake. Think about how many companies report a LOSS when the ANALYSTS were predicting a profit. Those stocks dont drop 52%. Apple is a money maker and so is its stock. If you are a stock owner and you KNOW the stock is gonna go down you SELL IT. You could've sold everything you had and bought twice as much back the next day. Anyone out there wanna load me 100K? I'll pay you back by Friday.

  25. Re:What Happened to their Stock Price? on Apple Advertises "1-Click" Licensing · · Score: 1

    Right, they still make a huge profit. It was a big drop too, but of course it will go back up. Perfect time to buy if you ask me. the 52% Drop = 11 billion in market value. Intell lost 100+ Billion in market value during the same month
