  1. Re:Linux Replaces Tom Cruise! on Linux and Shrek · · Score: 2

    Hmm. I've never looked at Nicole Kidman's EYES on screen. Of course, she may not count, since it is rumored that her dissatisfaction with Co$ played a part in their divorce.

  2. Re:Linux Replaces Tom Cruise! on Linux and Shrek · · Score: 3

    As an added bonus, we can stop indirectly funding the Cult of $cientology by paying admission for movies, which will be, after many twists and turns, reflected in how much Tom is paid, which is then passed on to Co$ to pay for more brainwashings.

    At least the drivers work better than the See-Through-Clothing X-Ray glasses I bought from a comic book when I was a kid.

  8. Slightly OT, concerning towels on Slashback: Things, Stuff, Items · · Score: 2

    I am currently reading "Speaker for the Dead," and noticed that Ender clearly knows where his towel is.

    Back on topic, I for one will have my towel with me on May 25, with my name proudly displayed in old, unravelling embroidery.

  9. Oort cloud? on Mystery Force Affecting Probes · · Score: 2

    Perhaps we should be careful. It may be Thread, which inhabits the Oort cloud around the Rukbat system, and very nearly destroyed the colonists on P.E.R.N.

    One of the big open questions of the day is: What is the shape of the universe?

    Huh? Last time I went to Vegas, I LOST almost all the money I made. They don't call it "Lost Wages" for nothing.

    Perhaps this is their "Crisis Week," and they are running under-resourced to calibrate how fast their servers will go into "Crisis Mode" (read Alzheimer's Mode).

  19. Re:Mars by 1977 on NASA: Planetary Exploration, Or Better Coffee · · Score: 2

    I think it was Popular Mechanics last fall that had an article on the debillitating effects of prolonged null-G living. They talked about rotating craft, but also about exercise machines that could create their own gravity. For example, a not-quite-stationary bicycle. Picture a vertical centrifuge, with a seat, pedals and handlebars in place of the "pod" that the person sits in. (Turn the centrifuge shown in so many space movies on its side.) Pedalling the "bike" causes the centrifuge to rotate, providing "gravity" to the person on the "bike." Possibly cheaper than a controlled rotation of the entire craft.

  20. Re:Take the time to do it right. on NASA: Planetary Exploration, Or Better Coffee · · Score: 2

    Our trips to Mars should serve as the beginning to the eventual human expansion into space, and not some cheap theatrical stunt. They should be accomplished in a considered and sustainable manner.

    But what will that do to FOX, and their cadre of "ex-spurts" and investigative reporters? If it is done well, in a sustainable manner, how can FOX run, "Did We Really Go To Mars" in 2051?

    Piece Of Shit.

    "Shit" is an offensive, not considered fit for polite conversation, kids get their mouths washed out with soap for saying it, slang term for feces.It can be used as a swear:
    "Shit! That hurt!"
    It can be used in a derogatory manner (This is the POS thing):
    "You shithead! You're a piece of shit."
    It can be descriptive:
    "That pot was the SHIT!"
    On and on and on.

    I don't mean to offend anyone when I say this, but how many competent IT people are going to be working for a public school salary?

    I'm not crying insult, but that question begs another:

    "I don't mean to offend anyone when I say this, but how many competent teachers are going to be working for a public school salary?"

    Many people do many things that AREN'T entirely motivated by the size of their paycheck. Look at any of the MS vs. Linux stories here on /. for many, many expressions of that sentiment.

    I've never had VC++ warn me about any possible security problems.

    Actually, it tries. The error is something like 127ur498812vxd734023l-4792j540021k;rf-43580-4ghd73 i. It shows up in Event Viewer with the message: "The error is in the data."
