  1. Hmm on Tai Chi Robots · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now if they could only build a robot that could do some mean Chai-Tea...

    *ba-dum-chee*

  2. What about... on Robocoaster · · Score: 3, Insightful

    G-forces? How could an automotive robot simulate the intense gravitational forces that are half the fun of rollercoasters? Especially in 11x12m of space?

  3. Re:Mars Face on Marsoweb · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is what it looks like without the shadows. (From 2001 Mars Global Surveyor)

  4. Re:Not just drinks... on The Golden Age of Cup Manufacturing · · Score: 1

    Most food places in Europe have been doing this for years now. The theory is that a customer will think that they are getting more if they order an 8oz (or whatever) "regular" than if they order an 8oz "small." It's a psychological thing that almost prohibits anyone from selling anything that is "small," "tiny," "whatever." "Medium" or "Regular" makes it look better/more appealing.

  5. Re:POP Access disabled... on Yahoo Knows Best, Resets Users' Marketing Prefs · · Score: 1

    It also looks like if you put a dummy e-mail address in as one of your "Alternate Email" address, you can select all the spam options as yes and they will all go to the dummy address.

  6. Alternatives on Yahoo Knows Best, Resets Users' Marketing Prefs · · Score: 1

    Anyone know of less-corrupt free e-mail providers who offer POP access? Any excuse to keep me from setting up my own mail server?

    This just in! Encryption not perfect!

    (gasp)

  8. We finally catch up... on Cat Recognition Algorithms? · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's about time we started monitoring those cats. They've been doing it to us for too long....

  9. Hmm... on The Teddy Borg is Alive! · · Score: 1

    Let's hope the thing doesn't overheat....

    crispy.

  10. One question... on Iris Indigo Case Mod · · Score: 4, Funny

    Where can I get a wife that will go dumpster-diving for computer hardware with me?

    Do tell.

  11. Re:Umm... on Courts Gives Napster 72-Hour Deadline · · Score: 1
    From the article:
    SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal judge gave the recording industry another victory Tuesday in its bid to control digital music, saying Napster Inc. has just 72 hours to block any copyright songs.

    Only in my dreams would the RIAA's lawyers be dumb enough to word it that way....

  12. its a big corner on Yet Another Serial Graphics Bus From Intel · · Score: 1
    Do you ever skip the current latest/greatest because you know what's around the corner?

  13. What a coincidence... on WSJ Interview with Linus · · Score: 1
    What's more, Microsoft last year began to take notice of Linux. In the spring, for example, it released a study showing that Windows NT outperformed Linux in some common computing tasks.

    aka, Microsoft doesn't notice other competitors until they are better than them or they can buy them...interesting

  16. Whoa.... on NASA To Build Laser Space Broom For ISS · · Score: 1

    Considering how much stuff is used by the government that's commercially available later, this might prove a bit interesting...my parents already go crazy with those Swiffer things....

  17. cosmic dumps... on Launch Limits Lifted · · Score: 1

    This means more launchs with Russian rockets, which means more stuff, hopefully, going into space.
    More stuff? Shouldn't we at least get all the dead monkeys in metal spheres out of the way before everyone starts launching their sat's and orbiting q3 arena servers?

  18. Where is it.... on Broadband From The Sky In 2002? · · Score: 1

    I bet Iridium is scraping around for that undo button right about now...wonder if they would of been able to use those satellites for ISky.

  19. Re:Sony's Conflict of Interest on Playstation 2 Recalled In Japan · · Score: 1

    yeah, the cost of recalling all the discs, maybe even the consoles themselves is probably minuscule compared to what might happen if they get sued by every major dvd manufacturer out there.
