    that an infinate number of monkeys, working for an infinate amount of time will eventually recreate the works of shakespere.. does this mean the *IAA will seek to outlaw monkeys, or just the practice of giving monkeys keyboards?

  6. Re:Worked on CD-ROMS for me on The Placebo Effect Not Just On Drugs · · Score: 1

    well I think since he was reading crappy trade show CD-Roms most of the time, he was likely reading a 1X anyways.. he was just upset others int he office had "fast black comptuers" while he had a "slow white one".. even tho, as a CAD machine, his was the actual high-end computer

  7. Worked on CD-ROMS for me on The Placebo Effect Not Just On Drugs · · Score: 1

    Back in the late 90's I worked for a company doing general IT repairs, upgrades and whatnots.. One of our engineers came in complaining about his 4x CD-ROM being slow, and that since he was an engineer he needs a faster one. One of the guys I worked with took another 4X CD-ROM and carefully put a 3 on it with a sharpie.. So it looked as if to be a "34X" drive.. He installed it, the engineer was happy, and we never heard a word about it.

    GeOS was awesome.. we had 2 5.25" drive and one 3.5" drive on our 64.. using the 3.5 for "data swap".. that made GeOS very bearable...

  12. Re:NSF on NSF Funds Data Anonymization Project · · Score: 1

    you mean everytime i drop an NSF and my bank charges me 20 dollars, that 20 dollars goes to fund Data Anonymization... but there is no way to know for sure, because they didn't catch the guys name who they gave my money to.

  13. NSF on NSF Funds Data Anonymization Project · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Headline had me thinking the science grants were returned Non Sufficient Funds... thats a sign of a really bad economy.

  14. Re:The video doesn't say much for NASA efficiency on The Right Robotic Stuff · · Score: 1

    yes depressurizing is indicitive of a bigger problems.. so dont let the little things turn in a rockets / explosives on top of that.... and yess, in space you DO have to think of EVERYTHING... I have no more answers, because I am an Analyst not a space engineer..

  15. Re:Erosion of publishers & distribution chains on Times Paywall In Questionable 'Success' · · Score: 1

    float money.. you need a lot of bread, and some press credentials to get to the story... real news isnt just a link to some other story with your personal spin on it... Lois Lane needs Perry to pay for her plane tickets when the Eiffel Tower is under siege..

  16. Re:The video doesn't say much for NASA efficiency on The Right Robotic Stuff · · Score: 1

    because pressure can be a hard to maintain should something fail.. the crew cabin should be ther main point of concern.. and those little plastic bubbles would expand quickly in a rapid depressurization.. if held in place with 6mil plasic, it would be like a bomb going off.

  17. Play hard! the dewey cox story on Supreme Court Hears Violent Video Game Case Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    "you DONT want none of this SHIT dewey!.. its a fun game, doesnt hurt anyone, and is very entertaining... BUT YOU DONT WANT NONE OF THIS SHIT!"...

    Having a game designated as such will make it an instant hit among the youth... much like the "EXPLICIT LYRICS" stickers on CDs... Who bought the NWA cassette in 1990 ONLY because it had that sticker...

    should the box depressurize, that bubble wrap and cling film would rip the robot apart

  21. Re:wash your hands well with hot water & do it on Breakthrough Portends Cure For the Common Cold · · Score: 1

    keeping the air humid works better for preventing an airborne cold.. the virus sticks to your snot, you the blow it away or swallow it and let the stomach acid take care of business.. its why we are so susceptible in winter, when the air is dry, our primary defence (mucus) us akk dried up and sticky, which gives the virus a place to take hold..
