  1. Re:Class action suit? on Make Your Own DSL · · Score: 1

    Something does not smell right, here.

    The PtP T1 is running on the same dry pair they wouldn't sell you. They won't sell me one either :-(

  2. Re:Where's the ISS ? on Build a Mindstorm Robot to Fly to ISS · · Score: 1

    Before you ask, yes I got the joke. And have an answer. It's right here

  3. Re:Got scanned on Hotmail Servers Shut Down by Code Red · · Score: 1

    They still weren't fixed on Wed the eighth at 7:30. They only hit me once though, of course that may have been because Qwest's network was so slow that DSLReports' speedtest said I was running a standard modem.

  4. Re:Economics of Fusion on Fusion Gets Closer With Magnetic Field Correction · · Score: 1

    Is this a fancy way of saying: "Can you imagine a beowulf cluster of these!"

  5. Tito took it! on Space Stations That Suck · · Score: 5

    'a lack of shampoo'
    'missing cleaning gel'

    What did they expect hotel guests always take the soaps and shampoo? For 20 million bucks, I would have taken a bathrobe and a towel too.

  6. Re:Smog on Bootid Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight · · Score: 1

    Smog isn't the problem so much as light. It does have an effect, but most places that have smog have a lot of light pollution as well. I remember a friend who grew up in L.A. who freaked out the first time he went out to the desert at night and actually saw the Milky Way.

  7. Why mustard plants? on NASA Wants To Invade Mars With Glowing JellyPlants · · Score: 1

    Do they want to make sure they can make a decent sandwich when they get there?

  8. Re:Very neat... on Stepping Closer To The Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    Actually I don't ( No TV ) but from some of the things I have seen on Fox I would have to say you are probably right.

  9. Re:Very neat... on Stepping Closer To The Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    Any truth to Fox TV producing it as a miniseries? :)
    I hope not, I would have to actually buy a TV.
    I agree about it being a great series though

  10. Re:True, but it is a conceptual breakthrough on Cross-Platform Pseudo-Virus: Don't Panic · · Score: 1
    ARGH! How could I fall for a troll like that!

    I don't know, I thought it was a farly good troll.
    /. Needs a +1 troll moderation category.

  11. Re:Doesn't seem like a very good ide for me. on Hydrogen Powered Cars · · Score: 1

    At night these solar cells can catch up on the inefficiencies of this system
    At Night??? From the streetlamps? Any system running on solar power is going to be better off using the electricity to power an electric motor.

  12. Re:erm on Descrambling CSS w/ 7 Lines Of Perl A DMCA Violation? · · Score: 1
    But when I read the posts, I think they ARE worth the paper their printed on

    Worth exactly the paper they're printed on.
    I hope that was meant ironically. ;->

  14. Read Aftermath by Charles Sheffield on Rebooting The World? · · Score: 1

    This book covers this scenario fairly well. The idea is that Alpha Centauri went supernova and radiation toasted everything electronic. Interesting read

  15. Re:I got quite mad on Deja, Google, Open Source, Oh My · · Score: 1

    Now you've done it, the slashdot effect will bring it down to about 2 bytes/second now.

  16. Re:New Tech, Old Attitudes on Dispute Over IP Sharing Escalates · · Score: 1

    I thought it was The President's Analyst, you know the one where TPC (The Phone Company) tries to take over the world.

    Well, hop over to uhaul.com

    Uhaul.com? Everyne knows that Ryder is the truck of choice for terrorists.

    P.S. Didn't they bust the guy in the World Trade Center bombing because he tried to get his deposit back?

    On 100 to one odds? Never happen, don't you know it has to be 1,000,000 to one for it to work! Nobody ever said: It's 100 to one odds, but it just might work.

    If you don't know what I'm talking about read this book

  21. Re:Only a bug per game? Sweet! on What Do You Do With 1 Million Atari Games? · · Score: 5

    Really? I can't make one last more than a day, I think Terry Pratchett is under the impression that chapters are something that happens to other people.
