  1. About freezing for life... on Freeze Recovery Drug - Step Toward Suspended Animation? · · Score: 1
    I read the article, but no where did it mention freezing people, who can then be bought back 10000 years later (by freezing, i mean +0c, so cells dont freeze). But at this temperature, or at any temperature, does aging and so on stop? Because it wouldnt be much good if you froze yourself at 40, woke up 1000 years later to die because you are 1040 years old.. are there any biologists out there that can clear this out.. cause it sure would be interesting to see this actually happen.. Also, what about the persons memory.. if you were frozen for 1000 years, would you actually relize you are frozen, or when you woke up, would it just be like you were frozen a few seconds ago? I wouldnt wanna be sitting there for 1000 years going "oh my god wake up!", but i could bare it if everything worked :-). craz

  2. This could be very useful on Proton Polymer Battery · · Score: 1

    I havent yet read the story (doing that now).. but from your post I see that this could be very useful as a fuel source of an electric car.. But how would it compare to other enviro-friendly cars like hydrogen and natural gas? Both price was and efficiency.. I guess the efficiency is the same as any electric device.. but pricing would be nice to hear about.. I think this is a topic we'll be hearing more and more of in the next few years, both with the rise of fuel prices and the diminishing world supplies.. and also environmental issues...

    do what my site does.. you store both the OLD password and the "newly generated" password.. then if they log in with the old password the newly genreated one disapears, and vice versa... silly you. :-) or do what sourceforge does and have a URL to change a password!

    ok, two things: a) Australia has the highest computers/internet connections per head (last time i checked). b) MANY people have multiple ICQ/AIM accounts for many reasons including loss of paswords etc.. i for example have 9 ICQ accounts..

  5. Re:anyone else notice.. on AOL Trying To Unify AIM And ICQ Services · · Score: 1

    let me share an experience: I had windows on my laptop, for my cable modem installation (they refused to give it to me unless i had a windows box). Then i installed ICQ2000b on there.. and was is crap: crashed ALL THE TIME (froze my entire computer except mouse untill i "ctrl+alt+del icq2k endtasked" around 15 times. And yer, it had adds, and silly popup msgs and stuff so thats why i formated, put linux on and run LICQ/.. free, no adds, very powerful, very stable.. what else would i need?

    how many tiems have you seen NT go down compared to Linux? my ratio is about 10:1. I know many people who have started there web hosting on NT and decided it is to unstable/slow and switched to linux.. gee ur a phool.

  7. Re:Quick!!!! on Red Hat Linux 7 Released · · Score: 1

    oh, ok.. my mistake.. But why does that stop you from including it in RH7.. Because alot of "linux newbies" will have Nvidia cards.. Theyll open up and install RH7 (there first linux install) and see that X doesnt work (at all with GeForce2 and in 3d in other cards) and theyll say to themselves "how crap, im not using this!" and run back to (i hate to say this word) MS Windows.

    I really think that you guys should consider using some non-opensource software if it means alot of people have alot easier ride..

  8. Re:Quick!!!! on Red Hat Linux 7 Released · · Score: 1

    what? what? what are you talking about! i run a GeForce2 GTS under linux w/x4.01.. I got the drivers from www.nvidia.com, they support awsome 3d stuff, eg 300fps in quake3 whilst playing. AND they are opensource, last time i checked you had to compile them, and you could edit the source if you really wanted to.. AND they are available for both 2.2 and 2.4 kernels! pft.

  9. Re:Quick!!!! on Red Hat Linux 7 Released · · Score: 1

    Something I have always wanted to see in RPM is the ability for it to detect stuff you have installed NOT THROUGH RPMS, eg when i go and compile mysql for example from source (because i want the latest versino etc), i would like then to be able to do a RPM thing to make the database relise its intsalled.. or something like that.. The other thing i think RPM needs is better -devel stuff.. Problems i've had, when i install some library (eg gtk or whatever) through RPM, some programs look for a file which gets installed with the source versino, but not with the RPM version.. hence i cant compile that program.. really anoying!

  10. why not netscape? on Microsoft's IE 5.5 Flouts Industry Standards · · Score: 1

    I know its not the ideal solution.,.. but cant netscape just comply with what IE does? it would meen alot more people would use netscape (i would).. because frankly, IE does deal with webpages better.. even look at netscapes tables, terrable! cheers craz netscape: JUST DO IT!
