  1. Re:Sounds Good--- on Hydrogen Fuel Cells Running On Sunflower Oil · · Score: 1

    Probably the same one that has a town that commissioned a giant replica of "Sunflowers" by van Gogh.

  2. Re:i should reconsider my plans on Hydrogen Fuel Cells Running On Sunflower Oil · · Score: 1

    Sunflowers don't pay too bad right now. They're down some from what they have been in the past, but can still be very profitable.

  3. Re:How about: on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 1

    or Same Shit, Another Movie

  4. Dupe?? on Military on Alert for Killer Coke Cans · · Score: 1

    At first I thought that this was a dupe. Then, I realized that I had read it on Collegehumor.com about five days ago. Way to be on top of things /.

  5. Re:I have one of these. on Things You Can Do With A Giant Fresnel Lens · · Score: 1

    Why not try a couple older (pre '85) pennies on top of an aluminum can. The two probably won't mix and do what they should, but it would be fun to try.

  6. Re:It's simple really on The Physics of Baseball · · Score: 1

    Simple because I'm reading /. instead of studying for my Transport Phenomena final.....I knew there was a reason I wasn't studying.

  7. Computers or teachers on The Flickering Mind · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What I don't understand is that schools spend thousands and thousands of dollars to upgrade technology, but they still don't have any teachers that are worth a damn or teachers that are severly underpaid. Seems like schools also forget the fact that that computer is hard to use if there is no decent desk to put it on. I've had classes that use desks that were here when the college was founded. There's not enough room on the writing surface for single sheet of paper. WTF?

  8. Re:What's the problem here? on FBI Investigates Open Records Request · · Score: 2, Informative

    A couple of tons of fertilizer? I don't know where you are from, but a couple of tons of fertilizer isn't going to go very far in fertilizing a field. There are farmers where I live (Western Kansas) that plant 30 circles of corn like its nothing. Another family owns close to 35 sections of farmland. You want to go tell these farmers that they'll have to wait on that shipment of fertilzer so the FBI can run a background check?

    No wonder the 9/11 guys slipped through the cracks. People were too busy sniffing each other's crotch to catch any real criminal.

  9. Re:Not very accurate on Intel Ranks Colleges with Best Wireless Access · · Score: 1

    Pretty much the entire engineering complex at K-State has wireless coverage. Phase 1 of Durland has excellent coverage. There is one classroom in the Rathbone part that is weak at times. I haven't had any classes in Fiedler, but I assume the library is well covered, as is the rest of it.

  10. Prior art on Nintendo Patents Handheld Emulation, Cracks Down · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There has got to be prior art for handheld emmulators. I've ran NES emmulators on my desktop for years now. You can't tell me this hasn't been done before on a handheld. What about the Super Mario Bros. game that I had on my TI-85?

  11. Symien Sybian on Nokia Takes Control of Symbian · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I thought it said Nokia takes controll of Sybian. What now? Dial an orgasm?

  12. Porn Sharing on Dealing With Copyright Online: Porn v. Music · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sharing porn? Just as long as the pages don't stick together.....

  13. Re:2 + 2 on So You Think Physics is Funny? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, the engineer should say that its about 5, but numbers aren't available that low, and we need to account for safety, so let's make it 10.

    either that or 2+2=5 for extremely large values of 2

  14. Re:Hmm.. on Simpsons Fan Creates Real Tomacco Plant · · Score: 1

    If uranium would work you can get that at http://www.unitednuclear.com

  15. Re:Unloved $1 Coins Keep Expensive George Around on Bureau of Engraving and Printing Issues New US$20 · · Score: 1

    Have you ever tried tipping a stripper with a dollar coin? You can't just put it in the slot--that's illegal to do in public in most states and will get you kicked out of the club.

  16. Re:Carbon Tetrachloride on Build Your Own Lava Lamp · · Score: 2, Informative

    We made one in my Organic I lab in college. We used dibutyl-phalate (sp?) and water with some salt to adjust specific gravity. I found some Sudan Red to dye the phalate and methyl orange to dye the water. We set it up each week before lab; it was sweet.

  17. Re:Hrmm on Build Your Own Gauss Pistol · · Score: 1

    Enough laws are already on the books. We need less legislating and more enforcing.

  18. Re:Now... on Missouri Wins American Solar Challenge · · Score: 1

    Our 22 year old POS lawnmower had 3.5hp when it was new. ANy new lawnmower has at least five ponies, but it more likely has at least six. Riding mowers I believe start around 20hp.

  19. Re:Why hasn't this been shot down in the on Anti-Patriot Act Movement Expands · · Score: 5, Informative

    It is my understanding that the Supreme Court can't shoot it down unless there is a case presented to it that came to it through the appeals process. I don't believe they can dismiss any law as unconstitutional until it is challenged; I may be wrong though.

  20. Re:Latest US Government cover-ups and lies on Top Physicist Advocates Scientific Self-Censorship · · Score: 1, Informative

    Depleted uranium is just that, depleted. Depleted means no more, has ceased to be, the uranium is NO MORE. Agent orange was not meant as a chemical weapon to be used against humans. It is a pesticide that was meant to defoliate the thick forrests that the VC were hiding in. Unfortunatly people were drenched in it. One of the side effects of useful pesticide resulted.

  21. The Red Scare on Congress to Make PATRIOT Act Permanent · · Score: 1

    I thought Senator McCarthy had died. This all sounds very familiar to the sixties and his witchhunt.

  22. About time on Gnomemeeting Closes the Source · · Score: 5, Funny

    Its about time somebody closed the code. All the bugs kept getting out and running wild. Fifty dollars seems like a fair price not having to put up with any more loose bugs.

  23. Re:The Three Amigos on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    I agree, I watched this movie oner and over as a child and can still repeat almost the entire movie from memory.

    Just a couple of things though. The villan's name is spelled El Guapo (I think so anyway, been a while since I've had spanish class.) it translates to the goodlooking or just, goodlooking/handsome....

    Dusty accidently shot the Invisible swordsman.

    I love the male plane joke, however, I didn't understand it for awhile due to being young and naive at the time.

  24. Re:Problem with Security ... on Toshiba To Show Laptop Fuel Cells at CeBit · · Score: 1

    Half the fun of designing something like this is seeing if it will explode. The shit needs to be highly volitile for an explosion to occur. Garbage is not volitile enough to make an explosion worthy enough.

  25. Re:weapon selection? on GTA: Vice City Sells 8.5 Million Copies in 3 Months · · Score: 1

    The rocket launcher is obtained easily by entering the weapons 2 cheat: R1,R2,L1,R2,left, down, right, up, left, down, down, left. This cheat also gets you the python. This is the revolver with the one shot one kill.
