  1. Re:Eh? on Jolla Ports Wayland To Android GPU Drivers · · Score: 0

    Thanks for the tip, Susan is gorgeous. Jolla should use her in their advertising campaign.

  2. Re:Big fucking deal. on Tornado Scientists Butt Heads With Storm Chasers · · Score: 0

    Now all scientists listen: Human beings are part of nature, even if you don't have any contact to society outside your chamber you are doing "science" in. So fuck off, your work is probably useless anyway and what's best, funded by these annoying civilians. And this dream about saving thousands of lives while driving around in scifi-car, forget it. Get a haircut and get a real job.

    Is Pentagon some kind of authority in states that can arrest people? WTF, I understand that army has it's own juridical system for men in service but saying that pentagon arrests people, that's something new.

  5. Re:This should end well on Vista Pirates To Get "Black Screen of Darkness" · · Score: 0

    Vista isn't meant to be used. It's just meant to be purchased with your new computer, only to be overwritten by Linux distribution of your choice. The strange thing is that in current situation ms makes even more profit than before because they don't have to support Linux. So everybody wins, except the customer :-/

    "Yes, it is a secret technology, but the plans can be stolen or bought, and lasers and all the other stuff needed to make it work are not restricted exports."

    Hmm. Have you ever heard about dual-use items, these are also under export control. For example, from this list you can study what kind of equipment would be suitable for producing wmd's... also specs for required material strenghts etc (starting at page 31). This is all public information, but you really can't buy these things without licenses.

  8. Re:Wonder if that works deeper in a page on HTML Rendering Crashes IE · · Score: 0

    Some time ago I found out how to reboot or shut down windows 2000 systems by going to one particular web page. I really don't know what causes this but I tested it with three different win2k systems and it "worked" just fine... win xp didn't have this feature.

    Try it by going to url www.nst-lappeenranta.net (homepage of finnish salibandy team)
    On left side of the page choose link "Naiset edustus", then on the same side of the page link "Galleria", and then in the middle of the page link "Vilkaisu menneeseen" and boot...

    at this moment I am not able to test if the "feature" is still there.

    Hmm, western and eastern versions of light water reactors need 3.x % U235, RBMK (chernobyl) about 2 % and candu (heavy water moderated) 0,7 %. Bomb needs about 95 %.

  19. Re:Uhmm... wrong on On-Line Uranium Auctions · · Score: 2

    It's U235 that is needed for a bomb. In nature's uranium there is 0,7 % U235 and the rest U238. To make a bomb you must have about 95 % U235. I think that pakistan tested this kind of U-bomb in 1998. (they had bought enrichment plant from france)
