  1. So we all have to stop errrrrr.... on Your Computer Or iPad Could Be Disrupting Sleep · · Score: 1

    What are we supposed to stop this time?

  2. This could be the breakthrough... on 1 Molecule Computes Thousands of Times Faster Than a PC · · Score: 1

    Hoping this will be the breakthrough that keeps Moores Law in business :P

  3. Re:Mining Asteroids like Eve Online on "Wet" Asteroids Could Supply Space Gas Stations · · Score: 1

    Not sure what your alternative would be. We have to mine to survive, and it would build infrastructure in space, and help reduce the risk of these disasters on our planet which is pretty special as planets go :)

  4. Re:Mining Asteroids like Eve Online on "Wet" Asteroids Could Supply Space Gas Stations · · Score: 1

    I dunno. In eve they don't dock, but fly parallel then use robotic drones to ferry mined materials to their cargo bay. Sounds like a nice job, I agree with whoever said that :) & No I'm a fing nightmare at parties lol

  5. Mining Asteroids like Eve Online on "Wet" Asteroids Could Supply Space Gas Stations · · Score: 1

    I said it all along. Mining asteroids should be NASAs priority. I hate to say I told you so :P

  6. That's a bit dissapointing on Martian Gullies Explained By ... Sand · · Score: 1

    How come every announcement by NASA has you going away saying 'Ah Well." Should be called NAWA

  7. Also exposes pedofiles? on Pope Rails Against the Internet and Transparency · · Score: 1

    This greater transparency could translate well to the church.

  8. Its meant to be bleeped out.. on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 1

    you can tell at the very end its just meant to be a joke..

  9. Re:Is it me or is he sounding more desperate? on Roger Ebert On Why Video Games Can Never Be Art · · Score: 1

    Some would argue that it does make the tax code object itself into art. Its getting into that murky area of what constitutes art ;/ Eye of the beholder? i vote its art :)

  10. Re:Is it me or is he sounding more desperate? on Roger Ebert On Why Video Games Can Never Be Art · · Score: 1

    Well there's a simple litmus test: Can video games 'contain' art? answer yes, like RPGs especially. Doesn't that therefore make it in and of art? (I feel like I'm getting stupider the more I think on it)

  11. Re:HTML5 on Review of Adobe Creative Suite 5 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I meant the PC Pro article, not the articles here on slashdot

  12. HTML5 on Review of Adobe Creative Suite 5 · · Score: 1

    Heh the review failed to mention the inclusion of a HTML5 export feature in flash. could be one of the biggest changes in the suite since its a WYSIWYG HTML5 editor, and maybe the only one currently on the market?

  13. Re:Why even go? on Europe's Space Agency Wants To Do What NASA Can't · · Score: 1

    Maybe I should have put more effort into my original comment. It was a bit lazy lol

  14. Re:Why even go? on Europe's Space Agency Wants To Do What NASA Can't · · Score: 1

    Unless the rockets are going to use hydrogen from the water as fuel then no, it's pointless. Hydrogen is a very unstable form of fuel, which is the reason they don't allow cars to run on them. It wouldn't be economically viable to risk an expensive mission using this fuel, unless they were sending out say a hundred duplicate probes and allowing a number of them to fail. Even then it would be even more risky entering an atmosphere holding this as fuel. Feel free to vote me down and call me names though..

  15. Re:Why even go? on Europe's Space Agency Wants To Do What NASA Can't · · Score: 1

    Nobody was talking about manned missions. Simply sending autonomous drones out into the solar system to do the work, then there's no need for large amounts of water. And yeah who said I was trollin? I just disagreed slightly from the expected response that everyone else parrotted along with

  16. Why even go? on Europe's Space Agency Wants To Do What NASA Can't · · Score: 0, Troll

    We went there once and there was nothing there. Now we find here water there, so what I have loads of that in my back garden too. Why not spend money and time going somewhere worthwhile like Mars, or other bodies that we might actually mine or get some kind of significance out of?

  17. Re:yes, but on Decrying the Excessive Emulation of Reality In Games · · Score: 1

    Yes I was thinking along the lines of Deus Ex or System Shock2. Bioshock was a good simple inclusion of RPG elements but didn't really affect the main game in a great way. It would require good game design and some bold moves on the part of the Game devs to move these ideas forward. it could open up an amazing genre of involvement in games imo. in system shock 2 and deus ex your choices governed the pace and way you use each map and deal with each enemy, like a slower chess like game rather than all out shooting everything

  18. Re:yes, but on Decrying the Excessive Emulation of Reality In Games · · Score: 1

    'Fictional Physics' of the old retro games or games from the Atari and Amiga era are still more playable to me than allot of the newer games coming out that seem to be striving for greater realism or emphasis on more accurate guns or other things that were probably accurate enough in the last game. I loved the games that came out around the millennium, they had allot of imagination and innovation. its all a bit stale now, allot of gamers I know are saying the same. (need more and better RPG elements in games imo)

  19. Illogical on Warner Brothers Hiring Undercover Anti-Pirates · · Score: 1

    a> this could be classed as entrapment & b> why would WB want to stop piracy of their movies. overall box office sales broke all records last year. more ppl go to see them in cinemas because they've tested them out in cam form first and want to see it on a big screen or in 3D with their partner or family

  20. Re:Yup on BBC Activates DRM For Its iPlayer Content · · Score: 1

    The DRM has been on iPlayer content for a while now. i usually strip it out using Fair Use 4 WM. It's on rapidshare @ google

  21. News 2 Me on Newcastle Maker Faire 2010 · · Score: 1

    Damn, I just live around the corner from there and I didn't even know it was on :S the musical tesla coil is a bit wierdo

  22. Re:Opensource the news ? on The Times Erects a Paywall, Plays Double Or Quits · · Score: 1

    All news is kind of semi open source right now. they will just lose money and attention with this move. maybe Murdoch is destined to get left behind like natural selection

  23. Re:Mr. Perelman on Perelman Urged To Accept $1m Prize · · Score: 1

    I agree. This is the funniest thing Ive seen for a while

  24. BI Quad Antenna on How Do You Extend Your Wireless Connection? · · Score: 1

    The absolute best thing you can do to extend your wireless capability is to buy or make a Bi Quad Antenna, then hook it to a regular wireless USB key.

  25. Re:Clear Hoax on Commodore 64 Primed For a Comeback In June · · Score: 1

    Sounds a bit like an Xbox?
