  1. Re:magnetic on Gecko-Inspired Dry Adhesive Set For Space · · Score: 1

    Ah, this is perfect. Totally makes sense, compared to that far off high school algebra class, back in the early '80's. I mean, you'd think a football coach who'd played for the Browns would also be a decent math teacher, wouldn't ya!

  2. Re:Useful Lifespan? on Gecko-Inspired Dry Adhesive Set For Space · · Score: 1

    As long as it stays in the trees, and away from the white apes, it should be good.

    My 8 year old asked why you can't divide by 0. Said her teacher told her that she shouldn't do that but now she wants to know why she shouldn't do it. Sigh. I showed her divide by zero error on a calculator. /damn my art school (won't need math for this degree!) drop out education (even art school has homework requirements)

  4. Re:has its drawbacks? on New Discovery May End Transplant Rejection · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the Treg cells are used to identify the transplant tissue and 'mostly harmless' so that the Killer T's leave off and go harass some other bit 'o flesh.

    I'm still waiting for wire heads. Perfect fodder for organleggers.

  6. Re:and the converse may also be true on Australian Study Says Web Surfing Boosts Office Productivity · · Score: 1

    Wife and I work in same department but were chided because we don't bicker or act like we're married. What's wrong with a cold, joyless relationship?

    My last boss only got upset if we didn't share the good porn with him.

    They just sold their souls.

    You can get some kind of Marathon package that'll run under 10.5.

    Ah, was trying to recall Spector. I think it's time to dust off my old Mac Quadra 650 and show my kid (8 years old) what real games look like. I have one of those Radius 24 bit cards with tuned AT&T DSP's for Photoshop use in the beast. Will just have to build a stack of video adapters to get it on an LCD screen.

  12. Re:Apple suckers drooling over decades-old ports on id Releases Open Source Wolfenstein 3D for the iPhone · · Score: 1

    It sounded great on my Apple AV monitor with built in sub-woofer. Still, cuoldn't hold a candle to Marathon. Playing that game at 3AM, they some how managed to get some kind of surround sound effect out of stereo speakers. Really seemed like you could hear that damn alien chittering behind you.

    I don' like toast!

  15. Re:Still the Cloud? on Sun's CEO On FOSS and the Cloud · · Score: 1

    We're actually moving in this direction, due mainly to security and data retention/backups. Currently, security is mainly failing at the personal level. This isn't always due to maliciousness but mostly to human stupidity. Putting controls and audit trails on stuff makes securing data easier.
