  1. Must be like a vacuum. on IceCube Neutrino Telescope · · Score: 1, Informative

    My understanding of this phenonemon is that the neutrinos are travelling faster than the speed of light in water or ice but not faster than c, the speed of light in vacuum. Cerenkov radiation is emitted in these circumstances.

  2. Re:Radiation hardening? on USNA "Budget" Satellite Launched and Functioning · · Score: 2, Funny

    "...until the first decent solar flare"
    I keep telling them that they should only fly these things at night, and avoid the hazards of the sun.

  3. Re:LEXX "Brigadoom" on The Tick Premieres Tonight on FOX · · Score: 1

    That episode did more for the LEXX series than this one for Buffy did. Plus, Xev and Kai can actually sing. I play that CD when I need to clean up(b4 my parents come over) everytime.

  4. Good for Intranet sites on One-Machine Linux Cluster · · Score: 1

    I can see using one of those old machines that we give to temps we don't like, slapping this patch on it, and the six or seven little used intranet sites on it. It'd be nice to take them off the mail server.

  5. Meat Muppets on How to Navigate a Spacecraft to Mars · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Well, I guess it'd put a different spin on pigs in space.

  6. Re:Nethack links on /dev/null/nethack Tournament 2001 · · Score: 1

    Ahhh, I don't have a GUI on my linux box. Time to see if I can use on it my GF's win2k laptop.

  7. 2.5 hurry up. on Kernel Hacker Keith Owens On kbuild 2.5, XFS, More · · Score: 1

    I just compiled 2.4.13 and reboot. Now I lost use of my keyboard. I wonder if 2.5 will do that.

  8. Re:Ok, on XOSL, an alternative to Lilo and Grub · · Score: 1

    Corel linux has the same load-up. It's actually quite nice and your can even change the picture in the background and the fonts in the menu.

  9. Re:Ok, on XOSL, an alternative to Lilo and Grub · · Score: 1

    I had the same problem with my 30GB. I had to first install linux into a 4GB partition. Then I did an Fdisk, repartitioned to the full 30gb, formatted, and reinstalled into the full 30GB. I guess Lilo didn't have a problem with the LBA after that. Whatever, it works now.

  10. Fluorescent Multilayer Optical Discs on Mega-DVDs -- 100GB Apiece · · Score: 1
    And yet there are even better, yet not bigger (-5GB) storage devices out there.

    "Here's why Constellation 3D succeeded: instead of using a reflective CD surface, FMD media appears totally transparent to the human eye. That's because each layer is coated with a fluorescent dye instead of a reflective coating" And to quote further, "the cost to manufacture a 15 layer FMD disc is only 76 cents." Sounds better to me.

  11. Re:Sounds more like Space Raiders. on Army Funds Game Development · · Score: 1
    Your dream can come true.

    The game runs a little "rough"

  12. Re:"Enemy of the State" on Anti-Terrorism Law Passed · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I would mod it up, but I don't get mod points anymore.

  13. Re:Surprisingly, a lot of negative press on Windows XP Has Arrived · · Score: 1
  14. Re:why i don't love anything but google... on AltaVista Can't Keep Up · · Score: 1
    From http://www.google.com/help/refinesearch.html

    "If a common word is essential to getting the results you want, you can include it by putting a "+" sign in front of it. (Be sure to include a space before the "+" sign.) The one exception to this is "the", which is so common it is not considered in searches."

    So you still would want to use AtlaVista for 'The Who' Searches.

  15. MS ClockOS 1.0 on Microsoft: The Gatekeeper of the Internet · · Score: 1
    I wonder what OS that clock os running on? That seems to work ok, maybe they can build on it.

  16. Cure for blindness... on Carbon Magnets At Room Temperature · · Score: 1

    So you use this as a cover for a pair of glasses. The lenses are separated into a 2D array. Then, you use a laser to that shines into the eye, using the reflection off the pupil and the 2d array, you find where you're "looking". Now, you take a wire and stick it in your brain that sends a "signal" of what you're "looking" at...or something.

  17. Re:Oh really.. on Lego Mindstorms In Space · · Score: 1

    It's just going to be used to sort tiny screws in space. Ants are too hazardous.

  18. Re:Some People Shouldn't Have Kids on Private Rocketplane Test A Success · · Score: 1

    No joke, my ethics teacher in 7th and 8th grade was Jack Hoff. My football coach's name was Dickey and his wife was Ivanna. I am not lying.

  19. Too bad. on Wind River lays off FreeBSD developers; Q&A · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Did they remember to get the stock options?

  20. Exodus Problems? -Offtopic on Monitor One-Upmanship From IBM · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Is slashdot having problems with Exodus now. I couldn't get in for the last 20 minutes and I almost withered away.

  21. Re:No Fear on The Art of Aerobraking · · Score: 1

    Come on, we are talking about orbital insertion here.

  22. Re:Enterprise Theme song... on Farscape Signs for 2 More Years · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    You should start watching Nikki on the WB.

  23. Re:Hmm... on How Many Domains Does Your School Own? · · Score: 1

    "put up a porn site at namethisschool.net while the university's site is at namethisschool.edu "

    You've been to whitehouse.com right? I still believe in a first come first gets it internet. If you want to know what's actually on the site, use google.com

  24. AINAL on How Many Domains Does Your School Own? · · Score: 1

    From every discussion on trademarks I've seen here, you cannot argue trademark names if you don't offer the same service. I wouldn't confuse Drexel furniture with Drexel U, unless of course it was the bed, cuz I slept all through my college.

    Than again, there was the guy who had the dog named newyorkyankees.com?

  25. Oh thank Go on Chapter 11 For Excite@Home · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Thank you sweet lord. I saw AOL was eyeing the @home network. I sooo would rather have At&T thatn AOL. They don't even have an SMTP server for their users. Thank you Jesus.
