  1. They'll give up on it... on Holding On To Hope For Beagle 2 · · Score: 1, Redundant

    When astronauts collect the wreckage off the cold orange soil.

  2. Re:Third time is the charm. on Shuttle Fleet Upgraded · · Score: 1

    If there is a third shuttle lost, I have the feeling it won't be because the shuttle itself is unsafe, but that NASA is not willing or capable of operating it in a safe manner.

  3. Corrections on Shuttle Fleet Upgraded · · Score: 1

    The shuttle's other main landing site is Edwards, not Vandenburg. And the air force was never going to get "ownership" of Discovery, but that was planned on being the vehicle used at Vandenburg.

  4. They're not heating the tank! on Shuttle Fleet Upgraded · · Score: 1

    They're heating the *Bipod*, instead of insulating it with the foam that fell off and hit Columbia's wing.

  5. My haul on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    And I was more than surprised to get *anything*...:

  6. Re:Ob. on Beagle 2 Probe Lands; No Signal Received Yet · · Score: 1

    >

    FVO "landed"==*SPLAT*

  7. There's more dead probes on Mars on Beagle 2 Probe Lands; No Signal Received Yet · · Score: 1

    Because the vast majority of probes sent anywhere from Earth have gone there. Beagle was on a tight shoestring anyway, so I'm not surprised that one bit the orange dust.

  8. The obvious answer on Lindows Ordered To Stop Using Lindows Name · · Score: 1

    "Windoze(R)"

  9. In honor of this momentous event on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 Released · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'm going to d/l and install this release.

  10. Re:probably the coolest life after netscape on Life After Netscape For Mozilla Developers · · Score: 0

    He is house music's own sysadmin.

  11. Keep your BS filter on on Fox News Considered Suing Fox's "The Simpsons" · · Score: 1

    Fox News really can be 'fair and balanced' if you run it through a properly maintained BS filter. But then y'all already have yours spit shined for anything that comes outta Washington, D.C., right?

  12. Believe it or not... on Who Needs Radio? · · Score: 1

    There are people in this world without computers. And there are teen girls addicted to shopping at the mall. And not everyone will want to pay for satellite radio for that commute to work.

  13. Screenshots on FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Are screenshots really all that applicable when dicussing BSD/Linux? You're just showing window managers that run on all of them anyway.

  14. Finally! More SCO news! on SCO gets $50 Million Investment · · Score: 1

    I was having withdrawals.

  15. Old, old, old on NASA's New Space Wheels · · Score: 1

    This story (and that pic) are so old they have Alzheimer's. And the story is blatantly wrong, the OSP is not a shuttle *replacement*.

  16. Not exactly on Yahoo Messenger Blocks Outside IM Clients · · Score: 1

    I never once got that notice on *trillian*.

  17. Re:Patience on Yahoo Messenger Blocks Outside IM Clients · · Score: 1

    Oh, forgot to mention it's easy for me to say patience...cuz I dunno anyone on Y! anyway.

  18. Patience on Yahoo Messenger Blocks Outside IM Clients · · Score: 0

    The one thing that gets yahoo on my list is the near zero notice. At least MSN gave a month or two. I'm willing to bet once trillian/gaim/etc adjust, they'll work with yahoo just fine.

  19. Re:Spaceship One? on More on the Orbital Space Plane · · Score: 2, Informative

    Erm, no. SS1 will only reach speeds of around mach 5 or so, and altitudes of around 62 miles. And that's a much more benign mission profile than 17,500mph and ~300 miles up.

  20. Re:Maybe NASA could... on More on the Orbital Space Plane · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The X prize specifically states you have to fly the same vehicle more than once within 2(?) weeks. Ain't now way anything NASA flies gonna do that.

  21. Re:Seems like a good plan for travel.... on More on the Orbital Space Plane · · Score: 1

    "Hubble 2" is already on the board, and it's called the James Webb Space Telescope. It's going to be inaccessable to manned vehicles.

  22. Re:I like this... on More on the Orbital Space Plane · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So did the shuttle 30 years ago.

  23. Re:An astronaut friend on Mars at Opposition - Earth at Transitition · · Score: 1

    Not me, but I can say I've worked on their peecees. And I've been to pad 39A too.

  24. Close? on Mars at Opposition - Earth at Transitition · · Score: 5, Informative

    This approach will be only 12,000 miles closer than one in 1924.

    It's nice to see people taking an interest, but c'mon...Viking took better pictures.

  25. Re:Good news for Evolution! on Microsoft Stops Development Of Outlook Express · · Score: 0, Troll

    Evolution sucks Outlook's balls. I say that because I have yet to see a completely functional evolution install. Either I can't send email, can't check email, crash sending/checking email, crash opening the calendar, crash closing the calendar...or just plain crash upon startup. The possibilities are endless!

    Oh, and please choke on a bucket of dicks if your solution contains any of the following: change distro/fix gtk/recompile kernel/fresh install/compile from source/update.
