  2. I can see it now on Our Friend, The Meter · · Score: -1, Troll

    US Nation: Why should we learn your metric units? Fucking pinko french! Besides, I already know that there's 12 inches to a foot, 11 feet to a blurbpel, 4 blurbpel 2 feet to a kilo-rod, and 99.1 inches to the standard US furlong... Why should I have to learn anything new?

    And fuck the kids, it was hard for me it should be hard for them.

    All this aside, shouldn't it be possible at that speed to shape the nose of the projectile so that there will be cavitation around it and reduce the drag / sonic boom effect considerably?

    Am I the only one that thinks that many corporate giants are not evil's kinsmen and don't ride a pale horse, and occasionally get things correct?

    Here? Pretty much.

    Then vote nintendo. They're not evil, their products rock, and if more americans got over the "no blood for mortal kombat on snes" fiasco, us cube owners would get more support from pubilshers. It's bad enough what the advertising juggernaught that is sony did to sega - if it weren't for the japanese nintendo may have followed suit, and that would have been a sad day for the games.

  10. Re:Drying out? on Hotel Tycoon Pushes Inflatable Space Stations · · Score: 1

    Ah, but you forget how easily water will boil in a vacuum. Of course the details will depend on wether or not there's ever enough sun on the corpsicle to melt the ice and allow it to boil away. If the body's never in the sunlight, most of the water will be trapped in the tissue, but it'd have to get really cold really quick for the water close to the surface not to boil off before it can freeze.

    Either way, corpsicle or mummy, there's very little decomposition involved :)

  11. Re:Hrmm on Hotel Tycoon Pushes Inflatable Space Stations · · Score: 2, Informative

    There'd be no decomposition in a vacuum, simply drying out and (comparitively) rapid mummification or something very similar to it.

    Technically it's not Brittish, it's simply english. It's the Americans who've deviated from what they started with over the years. Of course that's the way of things, and we've none of us buckley's chance of reading what was the king's tongue 8 or 9 hundred years ago.

  17. Re:hmmm mildly impressed. on Matsushita Designed Sleep Room · · Score: 1

    Lucid dreaming is not difficult. Make a habit - several times a day, when nobody's looking, try and grab the remote / your coffee / whatever using the force. Keep doing this for a couple of weeks, and eventually it'll work - congratulations, you're dreaming! Another technique, is whenever you pick up something with only a couple of lines of text on it, read, look away, read it again. If it's changed, you're dreaming, and go throw some hadoukens around, or fly, or do all the nasty things you can't do in meatspace.**

    Worst. Trol. Evar.

    Because intel's always so reticent in giving out the instruction sets and specs for their processors. That'd be a really smart business move, and the #1 way to attract developers.

  21. Re:Killed by the society he saved. on Marking 50 Years Since Alan Turing's Death · · Score: 1

    Indeed. You've got to take everything into perspective. If I say there's a spaceship coming to pick me up hiding behind a comet, I'm a nutbag. If I say there's a bloke who looks kinda like santa caluse only dressed in white sitting on a cloud who says I can't rub one out or I'll go to hell, everything's cool. If there's a darwinian reason for homosexuality, I've never heard it - it's not unreasonable for lesser educated people to believe it was a mental illness. And back then we didn't know anything about most mental illnesses. Perhaps in 50 years, we will look back on some of the things we now believe are illnesses and scoff, or the things we think aren't illnesses.
