  1. decrease losses? on Military Device Will Sense Through Concrete Walls · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    The Radar Scope hopes to eventually give troops the ability to see up to 50 feet beyond a concrete wall to decrease losses in urban combat.

    Aren't you already sick of this? Why not say it straight... decrease losses? or more like, increase kills.

    The military would have us think they are some sort of defensive force that never attacks or does harm.

    Or maybe you were talking about the minority language spoken in the micronation of Expertia?

    Looks like you are already morally indebted to them, you're a tidbit smarter now.

    MMMMM I'm not tied. I have IMAP in my server and I check my email using Thunderbird. When on the road I use SqurrelMail for checking and sending my email.

    And you won't have t do any server admin for this... mainstream hosting like Dreamhost have it already.

  8. Re:Satellite Radio Sucks on Traditional Radio Endangered By New Tech · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Remember when subscription TV did not have any commercials either? it is not a matter of the technology, but the whole system. Radio is mature, and it has commercials. Satellite radio does not have commercials because very few businesses would invest publicity money in it. Whenever it goes mainstream, it will have them, and you won't have broadcast radio to fall back to.

    Too late, bro. You should have thought it up from the very beginning....

  10. Re:Quick question on Hydrogen-Emitting Microbe Examined · · Score: 1
    Carbon monoxide is a fairly energy rich substance. The guy who first prepared it in 1776 by heating ZnO and coke even thought he had made hydrogen because the blue flame it produces is so similar.

    If I sniffed the smoke of coke and ZnO together, I'm sure I'll be seeing more than a blue flame...

    Disclaimer: I fully know that coke is one of the variants of fuel carbon

  15. Re:Why is this acceptable? on Firefox Plans Mass Marketing Drive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    MMMMM I'll bite.

    First of all, it is not a "3rd party program", it is an extension. In Firefox, pretty much all beavior is written using ECMAScript and XUL, so everything is in the same level of hierarchy. The issue that this is not included in the mainstream installer is an entirely different matter.

    It happens that this one extension gives you the behavior *you* are expecting. And what you expect the browser to do isn't necessarily the right thing.

    It's a gray area because Sony claims it is DRM, which is illegal to remove.

    It is not illegal to remote the DRM. It is illegal to bypass it and still play the restricted content. Just remove it an don't use the CD in that computer anymore.

    Well that's what you'd normally say. But the MS sales rep would keep telling you that they hace great clustering solutions. See, Windows Server (NT) is a general purpose operating system, just like Linux. Linux is not intended for supercomputers either..

    Given that he contracted the HIV from his "44-year-old HIV-positive partner, Juan Gomez", I'd say breeding is not that high on his list of priorities.

    It doesn't mean they don't try breeding every night, it's just that he does not get pregnant...
