  2. We went to the moon to have fun...... on NASA Considers Plans for Permanent Moon Base · · Score: 1
  3. Karma Whore on NASA Scientists Simulate Black Hole Collision · · Score: 1
  4. Re:Proof of Concept on Unpatched IE Flaw Extremely Critical · · Score: 1

    That's interesting. I'm running version 10.0.1, which also recognized the exploit as 'Bloodhound'..... but only after the calculator popped up on my screen. Now that's an upgrade!

  5. Re:Windy on Communications Infrastructure No Match for Katrina · · Score: 4, Informative

    Wind no, rain yes.

    Ku Band singals are in the microwave range of EM frequencies, so are vulnerable to rain fade (which is ironic since many Meteorologists get their data this way).

    C-Band isn't as bad.

  6. Re:Better yet on PC Setup for Small House with Child? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Bzzzt. Wrong. but thank you for playing. The problem with this is that then you can get into a "power struggle" with the kids. Below a certain age, they just do not understand, as their brains are not developed enough to have any sort of self-control. Above 1 year you might be able to teach them, but they start crawling around 6 months, so that is 6 months of problems. Also, the less that you tell your kids "no", the fewer problems that you will have. It is good to give your kids dicipline, but only fight the fights that you HAVE to (don't run into the street, don't go anywhere with strangers, don't touch the stove, etc). A little preparation now will save you headaches in the future.
    Preach on brother! I have a 15 month old daughter that finds my optical mouse irresistable. Teaching her not to touch it is not worth the battle. If it was something life threatening like the stove or a power outlet, that's another matter altogether.

    I find that when you live in an 800 sq ft apartment, that barracading the computer in a corner where it can't be accessed is the best solution.
  7. Re:Run your OWN weather station on Perfect Weather on the Net · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you have a degree in Meteorology or Atmospheric Science (basically you took all the hard classes with Calculus) then you're a Meteorologist.

    These days, you can get a broadcast Meteorolgy degree from Mississippi State or SUNY Albany, and become an weatherman without all the tough classes.

    The logo you're talking about is the
    AMS Seal of Approval.

  8. Re:With the UN in charge on Traffic Cops for Space · · Score: 1

    I agree. The UN has its hands full here on Earth without having to deal with space junk.

    Rwanda on the other hand was a by-product of the debacle in Somalia.
    Perhaps if the UN hadn't gotten its tail whipped in Somalia,
    more might have been done to prevent the death of over 1 million people.

  10. Re:Hibernation with SCSI PCI Card on Mac OS X 10.1.5 Update Available · · Score: 1

    Yep, I have an Adaptec SCSI 2930 card and a D-Link DFE-530TX+ NIC card on my Quicksilver DP800...
    and Mac OS X 10.1.4 was sleep deprived.

    Seems to be working now w/ 10.1.5.

  12. Reminds me of.... The A-Team on More Junkyard Wars · · Score: 1

    The A-Team used to be like junkyard wars. The plot would always center around the A-Team getting captured in some holding area equipped with all the tools (duct tape, blow torches, etc) they needed to build some sort of contraption. It used to be the best part of the show (besides the amusing parts w/ Mr. T).

    Sorry.... I'm a child of the '80's. --mk
