  1. Re:Escape the Solar System, and Galaxy on Project Icarus: an Interstellar Mission Timeline · · Score: 1

    Cool, cool, got it. Can you run down those items and maybe expound on that recipe a little more. I want to make a backyard reactor and need a little help.

    Totally agree, If I had mod points I'd give them to you. Take a good look at some of those Google Earth images of the housing developments. You can see them in pretty much any country with tourism or money. Looks a hell of a lot like a cross section of a cancerous tumor to me. Just saying, not trolling. It is what it is.

    Or more likely some cross between mechanical and biological life forms. They'll probably remember that they were once human but no one will want to simply be a meat puppet anymore.

    But I like pondering the really weighty problems. Makes the belly settle and the mind goes all quiet for awhile. Then it's time for the next pill and it all starts getting crazy again.

    Well I heard that if you hang around UofH long enough AND give them enough money they'll just give you a degree. :)

    Hell yeah baby, if the light is green we are good to go. That's why they use green. Now if it's amber or red there might be a problem.

  9. Double Tree and coming back home. on FAA Wants Your Opinion On Commercial Space Rules · · Score: 1

    K, I have been to that motel. The Double Tree down in Cocoa Beach, FL. It's not 5 star or anything but they treat you nice. Fresh baked cookies 24 X 7. They give you some when you check in. As far as space travel goes, Rule #1 in all journeys is still make it come home safely. Rule # 2 is do not eat a big breakfast then jump on a spacecraft heading for zero G.

    Yeah, ATM fees are not cool. I see the justification for them but dont want to pay. Thank fully almost all major retailers let you grab an extra 20 or so while purchasing their goods.

    I love it, like you said put the fucking phone down. Or better yet, if the cops came busting in they would have to declare in a a loud commanding voice, Put the nose mounted stylus attachment DOWN and step away from the smart phone.

    Looking back at the Republican presidential candidates, I think Obama is a shoe in for 2012. I mean who would put Palin in the oval office with her finger on the nuclear button? Seriously?

    Somehow it makes sense that cell phone companies would need to know how many phones are using their towers. Then they can decide where to put more towers. Seems like they must have tracked every phone from the beginning.

  22. Re:For me, and many of my fellow college students. on Ask Slashdot: Are You Streaming-Only For Home Entertainment? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and if you can run Netflix on a PC with a decent video card. Say, an ATI Radeon with HDMI right out the back. Run that Monster HDMI cable directly from your PC to the back of a nice Samsung flat screen TV and you got something. Some shows do get a bit pixely. You can see the big blocks of missing action. Like when they show a waretfall. Mostly its plenty good enough to watch. Funny thing, every time I watch the Matrix it never pixel-ates at all. Weird, Huh?

  23. Re:No cable. Just Roku and my laptop on Ask Slashdot: Are You Streaming-Only For Home Entertainment? · · Score: 1

    You know, I think you just identified why I stopped paying the cable company and dropped cable 1.5 years back. They stopped making Firefly. That was a really cool show and for them to drop it just shows their inability to produce watchable entertainment anymore. It was not the only reason we dropped the cable but it was one of the last straws on the camel's back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

  24. Way pay 100 bucks or more a month? For trash TV? on Ask Slashdot: Are You Streaming-Only For Home Entertainment? · · Score: 1

    Go for it. Turn off the cable. Just one thing, if you're a sports fan dont do it. Netflix has a lot of content but is a poor replacement for cable. However, once you break the habit of watching TV then you require less stuff to watch. For us it's not a problem anymore, we just don't watch anywhere near as much TV as we did before. We cut the cable about 1.5 years back. The stress level in my home dropped considerably. Most of the shows on TV just seem to be designed to get you all upset over some trivial thing and or sensationalize some topic. The commercials were the best part. More money spent on them than the actual shows. I don't miss it. NetFlix, Pandora, your own collection of music and DVDs, maybe just turn the damn thing off? Who cares if Netflix gets the movies 28 days after Pay Per View. I am just riding 28 days behind the curve and really don't care.
