  1. a great site....... on At Last, Mir to be Ditched · · Score: 2

    here is a great site for MIR. It gives it's location in orbit, etc... MIR spacestation

  2. ditching it is easy.... on At Last, Mir to be Ditched · · Score: 1

    One would think that the most challanging thing about space exploration would be to put the station in orbit in the first place. These guys/girls should have had this day marked on their calendars! I wouldn't know whether to call it a 'controlled decent' or 'wheeeeee!!' This is the fun part people, lighten up.

    If you people can get a space station in orbit and support life on it for fourteen years, crashing it should be a piece of cake.

    You mean it wouldn't be decent to burn 'peace' up again. They've done it once already! I say finish peace off once and for all. Kick peace's a**!

    A mouse hanging from your rearview mirror? Monitors used as fish tanks? A closet full of 386's??

    You must be a real hit with the ladies. Throw something out for god's sake.

    With the stuff contained within the walls of your house, if there ever where a fire, we'd have an ecological disaster on our hands!

    Donate them!! We give all of our old PCs from work to a HAM radio club that one of the guys know. It's life watching a group of ravenous wolves attack an injured deer. They leave nothing behind.

    Would someone please think of the children!

  5. charging 'hackers' on European Cybercrime Treaty 1.1 · · Score: 1

    I haven't observed any problems when it came to punishing cyber crime in the past, expecially in North America. I have one question, if the company is using tools on itself, who is going to press charges? I can't see companies turning themselves in for the good of 'the Treaty". Besides, it'll turn into one the numerous unenforcable laws that we hear the government whining on a regular basis about.

  6. Re:That's myopic, Jon on Analysis: Henhouse buys Fox · · Score: 1

    That's the beauty of it from my point of view. The people that are going to pay the $5 are the Backstreet boy and N'Sync fans. Let them flood Napster all for the same song. The rest of us will go to the numerous other mp3 sights, precisely the way we did it when Napster was born. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I'm downloading a song, I don't want advertisements for "14 CDs for a penny" flashing infront of my face.

  7. intel / microsoft on Pentium 4 And Brookdale Update · · Score: 1

    Why is it the bigger the corporation, the faster they have to put out their products. I mean, why doesn't the smaller companies have a problem putting out a decent product? Do companies like Microsoft view their strangle hold on the industry as justification to bring out inferior products. From now on, I'm buying for warrenty and customer satisfaction.

  8. Where is Fox?? on Cheap Launch Ends In The Drink · · Score: 1

    This sounds like something Fox would be interested in. I could see it now......we at The Fox Network are planning to send one luckey person to 'uranus'. Operators are standing by.....

  9. Re:Ha! on Buy Yourself A Russian Space Capsule · · Score: 1

    That's all they need in Alabama, another useless piece of junk to place on their lawn. It could go next to the collection of large appliances, the pair of el caminos awaiting restoration and the rocket engine. A scary though would be if they actually found a way to compine all of these things. The possibilities and amount of damage that could be inflicted is mind blowing.

  10. Re:This is obvious also... on Microsoft Cracked · · Score: 1

    Fixing some bugs would make more sense than fixing 'em all. That could take even the most bright and dedicated programmer(s) a lifetime. Maybe they could release it under the name Windows Hee Hee Version 1.a

  11. Re:Enough to sustain on Could Mars Be Habitable In 100 Years? · · Score: 1

    Mars must be littered with free healthcare, safe cities and down to earth (human if you will) citizens. Maybe the engineers from NASA (some formally from the design team of the AVRO arrow, recognize the similarities?) could use the Canadian designed CanadaArm to deliver parts for these factories?? Even if it was used, we wouldn't hear it out of an American's mouth.

    According to a recent study by Greenfield Online.....

    A survey by Yankelovich Partners for the Digital Media Association found....

    Interestingly, reports American Demographics,....

    According to me, any survey company can produce statistics to prove anything. Where are the statistics involving money? What is the dollar amount that could have been earned if every song downloaded was paid for?

    According to me, surveys are for chumps.
