  1. Erupting a plane??? on IO's volcano on a plane of sulphur · · Score: 1

    Now that's confusing.....I believe it's erupting a 'plain'.

  2. COBOL? Pshaw... PL/I on Oldest Software Seen in Production? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I worked on some PL/I from '72 a few years ago...still chugging along just fine. (4 years older than me)

  3. Just go buy an adapter on Laptop Data Recovery? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I can only assume it's got a standard 2.5" IDE harddrive. Just go to a decent computer parts shop and buy an adapter, it'll cost like $20 bucks.

    OTOH: If you want to spend $200, I've got one available.

  4. Re:fingers... on AMD Athlon MP 1800+ Processor Review · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dude....it's not worth it.

    Please stop chopping off your fingers for the decimal points.

    Thanks.

  5. Re:Hopefully this hasn't already been posted on Our New Pearl Harbor · · Score: 1

    So....you don't believe that the US beholds more to Money than a Diety?

    I believe in God, but I feel that my majority in the US is shrinking.

    There's a reason we call it the "Almighty Dollar".

  6. Not Passenger Planes!!! on World Trade Towers and Pentagon Attacked · · Score: 1

    FoxNews (foxnews.com) is reporting that they have an eyewitness who said the 2nd plane didn't have windows.

    Thank God...it wasn't a fully loaded passenger jet; looked like a 737

  7. Have you tried FusionOne? on Cell Phone Syncing w/ Your PC or PDA? · · Score: 1

    They've got an awesome service (Win only, unfortuately) that allows you to sync just about anything (bookmarks, files, contacts, datebook) between any number of devices (including phones, PDA's, PIM Software, and their Web Desktop product).

    Check them out @ fusionone.com

  8. Re:Shrek trailer online on Linux and Shrek · · Score: 1

    Who cares about the trailer....I've seen the movie!!

    It's the funniest movie I've seen since the Toy Story 2 Outtakes.

  9. Re:Just to be a jerk... on Dune TV Mini-Series Released On DVD · · Score: 1

    Gotta do it...

    "The year is 10,191..."

  10. Re:wearable computers on DoCoMos Finger Phone · · Score: 1

    I disagree. How many times do you see someone standing in public, holding their cell-phone in one hand, with a finger in their other ear so they can hear.

    Why is this so different?

  11. Re:Jornada? bah! on Jor-not-a Pocket PC? · · Score: 1

    It's called an eMate.

    http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/newton.html

  12. Yet another reason to avoid Hampsterdance.com! on Smell Mail to Replace E-mail? · · Score: 1

    Ewww!!

  13. Re:Apples in space?! on First Pictures from Chandra X-Ray Telescope · · Score: 1

    Actually, I thought it looked more like the Quake logo! To each his own...

  14. Re:Info Summary on More details on the Visor/Handspring (Update) · · Score: 1

    According to the original story on ZDNet (http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,233 0104,00.html) the Visor will use the rechargable Lithium-Ion battery pack.

  15. Re:CD's are too big on Penny-size 180 Gigabits CDROMs · · Score: 1

    It was based on a William Shatner book from 6-8 years ago. I think there were only about 6 episodes.

    Check out the link:
    http://www.scifi.com/tekwar/epguide.html

  16. CD's are too big on Penny-size 180 Gigabits CDROMs · · Score: 1

    Anybody ever watch TekWar? I wasn't wild about the show, but they used discs about the size of a CD single.

    I'd prefer something that size...something I can palm, or even drop in a shirt pocket.

  17. Slashdotted ? - COOL!! on Sea of oil seen on Titan/DS1 Asteriod fly-by · · Score: 0

    Cool!! We slashdotted JPL!

  18. Re:Why are these $@&! articles always in German?! on Color Palm to be released this year · · Score: 1

    Seems that way doesn't it? It'd be nice if they'd start posting a URL with Babelfish included like this.

    If that didn't come through, the URL is http://babelfish.altavista.com/cgi-bin/translate?u rltext=http://www.heise.de/newsticker/da ta/ts-22.07.99-000/&lp=de_en&doit=done

  19. It could work... on High-end Computer or Game Machine? · · Score: 1

    Last I heard, this thing could also double as a DVD player.

    @ around $550, this thing would be cheaper than a good game console and DVD player.

  20. Political Power? on Fighting the Techno-War · · Score: 1

    All other sources of political power - wealth, pubic support, personal charisma, social standing, organized interest - are weak by comparison. Hee-Hee....

  21. RE:Big Deal. Nothing special here, make your own. on $300 portable MP3 CD player · · Score: 1

    This one HAS compact packaging! It's 10% bigger than a Portable CD player.

  22. Was it supposed to be for this past X-mas? on $300 portable MP3 CD player · · Score: 1

    Looks like it, I wonder if it'll happen?
