  1. Re:Physics our Enemy on Using Fusion To Propel an Interstellar Probe · · Score: 1

    Why do people say that so often? If we go 2 X c, do you somehow think that if we fly to Alpha Centauri and back we will arrive before we left? It is still 2 years there and back, so you will arrive 4 years later. Just because your light reaches the destination after you do, does not imply time travel.

    You never sang this song?

    Do your balls hang low
    can you swing them too and fro
    can you throw them over your shoulder
    like a continental solder
    do your balls hang low

    Things have changed quite a bit, but being a kid hasn't changed much.

    After a few moments, they tend to figure out what is going on and try to get away.

  4. Re:Supercars on Electromagnetic Automobile Suspension Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    That would be the main difference between the "CE/LE/XLE" and the "SE". My SE has a pretty stiff suspension, it does not roll in turns and I can feel every bump in the road.

  5. Re:Supercars on Electromagnetic Automobile Suspension Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    Toyotas are very reliable, but also reliably boring.

    Might I suggest test driving a modern Toyota Camry 2.4 Ltr 4 Cyl?

    I love my Camry SE, it out accelerates many "performance" cars, has wonderful handling, and does not have a bit of the issue from the GP.

  6. Re:Old news on 10,000 Shipping Containers Lost At Sea Each Year · · Score: 1

    Did you read all the commentary about the subject too or did you just read a news article? If you read it on BBC, then you have missed the whole point of Slashdot, which is the commentary.

  7. Re:I keep wondering why... on Google Loses Autocomplete Defamation Case · · Score: 1

    Bing isn't a search engine anymore. Google took over that part for them. They just rebrand the results now a days.

    Nothing came up, but it is a good idea, post it to 4-chan.

    The reasons they give are actually pretty good. IF you want to send your stations to a friend, it needs email and contacts. IF you want to add a concert, etc to your calendar, it needs calendar access. It uses GPS to give better targeted advertising (Metallica at the MCI center on )

    Bugs the crap out of me too. If you don't like it, don't read and let the rest of us enjoy the hilarity.

  11. Re:actually, I wanted to read real news on MakerBot Introduces Printable Vinyl Records · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If you don't like them, don't read. It is rather redundant to read people bitching on every story that they don't like the April fool's news, don't read if you don't like it, no one is making you.

    Hmm, annoying android spellcheck didn't like "woosh"...oh well.

    Yup. For whatever reason the spellcheck didn't show on that one. Though I should just say woody and move on :)

    I suppose thier houses are kind of loose, possibly from the water washing away from the foundation, but did you mean that you are glad you didn't lose your house?

    Do you have a link for a honeycomb image for the nook? I would be interested in running that.

  16. Re:Cue for the following response on Things Get Worse at Fukushima · · Score: 1

    "Nothing is going to happen" is to me a hopeful outcome. No one but TEPCO knows what is going on, and they aren't talking, so most of the problem is the wild exaggeration of the American news agencies to promote their ideal of a world without power that isn't "renewable" or "green".

  17. Re:Cue for the following response on Things Get Worse at Fukushima · · Score: 1

    Much of the stuff on the news is exaggerated and is exposed as that by other news organizations. Yes something happened, yes there are issues, I just hope they are able to get it under control soon. The radiation release numbers that have been written about by such as the BBC have been way lower then the US news agencies that seem to be mostly trying to make nuclear appear as bad as possible. Many of the American news stations have been using this disaster as a smear campaign against nuclear energy and are wildly exaggerating many of the numbers, even inconsistently in the same story.

    Actually, I guess woosh would be appropriate. I assumed he meant the BBC, but misinterpreting seemed funnier.

  19. Re:Come on guys! on NASA Vulnerable To Crippling Cyber Attacks · · Score: 1

    The trick to most IT support is knowing how to frame a Google query. If you have the background, it isn't terribly hard to setup networks, servers, desktops, etc. Securing these systems is a whole other bag of worms though; security is a constantly moving target, and you have to keep up with it constantly to do a good job. Even then, there is no truly secure system, there will always be flaws in the underlying OS and any other software that you use that only the attackers have found (Zero-Day Exploits).

    It frankly doesn't surprise me that NASA has vulnerabilities, every system does, I just hope that this will put them on the path to correct those problems and implement good security practices from now on.
