  1. Re: Oblig on India To Develop Military Robots For Warfare · · Score: 1

    Canada? Polar bear Mounties terrify me.

  2. Re:RFC1149 on Space Station Astronauts Gain Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Well assuming you could get them on the correct trajectory they would maintain speed and vector. The message on the ankle would make it to the destination on the ISS. The return traffic would tend to drop though. Accelerating at roughly 9.8m/s^2 - wind resistance.

  3. IPv4 Forever!!!! on Windows 7 May Finally Get IPv6 Deployed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    BGP filters are hard enough in v4 can you imagine doing this crap?

    Forget it.

  4. Missing on The Worst US Cities To Work In IT · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Washington D.C. The entire metropolitan area is one big mess. I have to plan my WEEKEND trips to the grocery store with severe traffic in mind. The area/weather/people are nice enough. However, with the addition of the commute times, I am basically holding down another part-time job just to get to work and back. I work 10-12 hour days just to avoid sitting in that mess for 3-4 hours a day.

  5. Sounds like a Symptom on Steve Jobs Issues Update On His Health · · Score: 1

    I have a thyroid hormone imbalance that affects my weight as well. I can spout on all day about that is why my weight is all over the map. That still doesn't tell you WHY my homones are out of wack.
    I had Hodkin's disease almost 15 years ago and the radiation therapy fried my thyroid and it isn't producing as it should. Ergo homone imbalance.
    What Mr. Jobs tells us is akin to telling me their car gets bad gas milage. That just leads to more questions... is it bad milage due to old plugs or because the gas tank is on fire.

  6. Never read the books or saw the movie on New Dune Movie Confirmed · · Score: 1

    *hands over geek card*

    Sorry, I'll add it to my ipod immediately. Won't happen again.

    Just finished 2 of the ringworld books though, and Snow Crash rocked.

    "Besides, it's not like this is going to affect TCP or IP or whatnot--this is way down at the bottom of the OSI model at level 1"

    Media Access Control and Logical Link are Layer 2
    IP is Layer 3
    TCP is Layer 4

    Geek card....give it here.

  8. Still too big... on AMD Ships First DTX Form Factor Prototypes · · Score: 1

    I'm of the opinion that they should go taller and slimmer. I like the size/distribution of the Shuttle SFF. This has a very large footprint for not having a place for a expansion slot graphics solution.

  9. You're doing it wrong!!! on GameStop Manager Suspended After "Games for Grades" · · Score: 1

    Maybe if he thought about doing the other way, I would have been a huge success. Instead of denying games for bad actions, maybe he should have rewarded good. "If you bring your report card in, we will give you 5% off for every A and 3% off for every B. Strait A's get a free pre-owned or something....

    What a tool.

  10. Paper Capacitor? on A Non-Toxic, Paper Battery / Supercapacitor · · Score: 1

    Bet you can't fold it more than 7 times

  11. Grassy Knoll on Algorithm Seamlessly Patches Holes In Images · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does that mean that if I erase part of the grassy knoll it will draw in the second gunman? Or more importantly if I erase the goatse hole will it draw in a hole?

  12. Re:Tempting Fate on Shuttle Launch Postponed To July 4th · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure about all this, but I think that would be a great name for a band.

    You Forgot Farscape! I think you may be on to something. And yes..... I know it wasn't Fox that cancelled it, but I can still be bitter darn it.

  19. Re:Interesting that you would say that on Manufacturer Picked For $100 Laptop · · Score: 1

    Well, I think Google can provide a portal for this. They already have a large infrustructure of knowledge, and already convert there site to a multitude of languages. That way you don't need a bunch of customized/regionalized software, just a link to the internet. And if they can jump all the hurdles in the print scanning arena, they also will have access to the aforementioned textbooks.

    Just make sure you don't miss your stop or you could end up taking direction from someone at Dupont Circle.

  22. Re:Back in the day on Woz Says Big Software Doesn't Work · · Score: 5, Insightful

    OK so I'll take the bait and feed the troll. Woz has probably forgotten more in the past week than we collectively will learn in the next year about computers and computing. Never underestimate any person that has a root knowledge about how something works. While others may say, "but he hasn't been working with the tools.... or doesn't understand the current state of things...". This doesn't mean the man doesn't understand FAR more about how to get a certain task accomplished. I try not and underestimate, or discount people that don't have the same skill set as me, and you would do well not to either.
