    Yeah, the Taliban has been flinging rocks into orbit using extra large slingshots from just inside the Afganistan/Pakistan border hoping to take that sucker out...

  2. Re:who's saying that? on Study Claims Offshoring Doesn't Cost US Jobs · · Score: 1

    The US Government does not provide a stable money supply to the world. It is the Federal Reserve that prints US money paper. The Federal Reserve is a private "bank" and has nothing to do with the US Government.

    Not just /. editors, but all the online fanboys have a bad case of Google On The Brain.

    I blame Google for all the crap sites and blogs out there which people put up just in hope of making some money off of Google ad placement. Hork, pffht. Advertising/Marketing is Evil.

  12. Re:no more 1hr documentaries on Choose the New PBS Science Show · · Score: 1

    Not just NOVA, everything is being dumbed-down. Ever try and watch something on Discovery? Further evidence to the theory that the amount of intelligence in the Universe is a fixed constant, the problem being there are more and more people in it.

    In order to rival Google, you need to be an ad sales company that happens to use search as the delivery method. Not the other way around.

    You can have any OS with your Dell as long as it matches "Windows *".

  18. Re:Terabits??? on Seagate Plans 37.5TB HDD Within Matter of Years · · Score: 1

    I propose we move to an even better standard in storage space measurement: WLC (Whole Lotta Cr*p). So now instead of buying a 500GB HD, you buy a WLC x500 HD and so on.

  21. Re:The qualifications for 'celebrity' on When Celebrities Speak on Science · · Score: 1

    The problem with Numb3rs is they dumb down the math so much, or bullshit something to the point of it being total absolute total crap. Stopped watching that show along with Lost and a few other mounds of pabulum the TV industry has been excreting out lately.
