  1. Works for me... on Scientists Offer New Way to Read Online Text · · Score: 1

    Sorry for not being able to add anything purposeful. All I can say that it works for me (I can read the modified text much easier and faster than the original one). Makes sense too.

    It's the small things which make life easier.

    Cudos to them.

    All the best,
    Michael

  2. A better name would be ... on UK Firm To Release 'Screaming' Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    ... "Baby Phone" :-)

  3. In other words ... on AMD 50% At Dell in 2007 · · Score: 3, Funny

  5. Fuel Cells vs. LIPO / LION on Mobile Fuel Cells Soon? · · Score: 1

    Hi!

    Is there a comparison between expected fuel cell capacity (for a specific size) and LIPO/LION capacity?

    Many thanks,
    Michael

  6. Without PC? on Linksys Debuts Cordless Skype Handset · · Score: 1

    Ok...and now please the same thing, but without a PC. I want it to directly talk to my wireless router ...

  7. Re:Interesting on Earth Departure Movie From MESSENGER Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    I agree, it really looks like a 3D animation. How come that the reflection of the sun (?) is so regular, no matter if water or mountains are below it? Does it reflect off the athmosphere?

  8. Quote from Article on Japanese Develop 'Female' Android · · Score: 1

    "Repliee Q1 can interact with people. It can respond to people touching it. It's very satisfying..."

  9. My passion is ... on Your Chance to Meet Bill Gates · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ... to hit my Windows machine. May I join?

  10. Re:MPG science on Hybrid Drivers Provide Real-World Mileage Data · · Score: 1

    Only if it is running ;-)

  11. Re:MPG science on Hybrid Drivers Provide Real-World Mileage Data · · Score: 1

    However, that's not the whole story by a long shot, which should be obvious. If the slower you go, the better gas mileage you get, you might think you get infinite gas mileage at a standstill. Of course, you don't.

    Of course you do! It just takes infinitly long ;-)

  12. Re:Tracking Daughters on Cross-Greenland Ski Trip Tracked with Google Maps · · Score: 2, Funny

    Good idea. And by having it implanted in her hip you can also extrapolate what she is doing, by monitoring her hips movement. Hell, you can even call her and point out that based on the speed of her hip's movement she should have had an orgasm by now.

    That should definitely give her a lesson ;-)

    Thank you.

  13. Shifting the problem ... on Car Powered by Compressed Air · · Score: 1

    ... and the air is compressed by a gasoline powered power generator, right? ;-)

  14. An Introduction to the InfiniBand Architecture on Linux Kernel 2.6.11 Released · · Score: 1

  15. Hmmm ... on Skype-Ready Phones From Motorola · · Score: 1

    ... I wonder which mobile phone provider would like that. In the end they are missing out on call charges if phones support this technology - aren't they?

  16. Re:2 Questions on Fingerprints Replace Credit Cards in Seattle · · Score: 0

    But the more important question is: Will they give it back?

  17. I searched for keywords britney spears and ... on Inspecting MSN Search · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... that's why I love science. You can find the best reasons to do the weirdest things ... ;-)

  18. Re:Re-Entry on China To Launch 2 Into Space In September · · Score: 1

    BTW ... why is it called re-entry and no simply entry? Just wondering ;-)

  19. Only 45 kg weight ... on Pentagon To Send Robot Soldiers to Iraq · · Score: 1

    ... I can see it now. Some enemy soldiers jump out from behind some bushes, grab the robots and throw them into the next river ... just take care to point the gun away from you when carrying it ;-)

  20. What about ... on House Paint Foils Wardrivers · · Score: 1

    ... radio? television? mobile phones? pagers?

    That's a pretty broad frequency spectrum which they are messing with ...

  21. Ethiopia has something like that already! on New Calendar Proposal · · Score: 1

    An ethiopian colleague just told me today about their calendar system, it works like this:

    Ethiopia follows the Julian calendar, which consists of twelve months of thirty days each and a thirteenth month of five days, six days in a leap year. (Hence, the popular Ethiopian Tourism Commission slogan of "Thirteen Months of Sunshine!"). The calendar is about eight years behind the Western (Gregorian) calendar. The Ethiopian New Year begins on the first day of the month of Meskerem, which falls on September 11th on the Gregorian calendar.
