    They still have a ways to go before they get a Worked All Space Probes.

  2. Let's check the history on this on Britannica Attacks - Nature Returns Fire · · Score: 4, Funny

    02:57, April 3, 2006 Nature (rv. we've been through this a thousand times already and consensus is against you, so stop doing this)
    00:51, April 3, 2006 Britannica (Basic concepts of Review - removed the OR, cleaned up the stating of the word history as spelled out in Terra Incognita)
    00:37, April 3, 2006 Nature m (rv ...or it's "original research" or it's "a self-reference" or whatever your excuse du jour is. Uh uh.)
    00:14, April 3, 2006 Britannica (removed redundant disambiguation and restated the first sentence. Comparison has ideas but is an activity. See discussion page)
    15:48, April 1, 2006 FactsGuy (RV another of Britannica's anti-consensus, POV, ill-written revisions. Britannica, please stop doing this!)
    15:12, April 1, 2006 Britannica (Basic concepts of comparison - removed the OR, "may have been inspired by" because that is someone's conjection and OR conclusion and not cited here)

  4. Exceptions on Amazon CTO Rips Blogging Authors a New One · · Score: 3, Funny
    You've probably noticed that a bunch of big companies are getting this or that smart person to come by and chat with the troops on particular topics.
    Oh? Yahoo got Tom Cruise.
  5. Re:Worse than kudzu, I tells ya on Nanomedicine Patent Thickets Threaten Future · · Score: 2, Funny

    How many nano patent lawyers do you have to kill and skin to make a pair of patent leather shoes anyway?

  6. Mod that judge up! on Microsoft Subpoenas Thrown out of Court · · Score: 1

    Hmm... politics with mods and metamods, friends, freaks, fans and foes lists. Sounds good to me.

  7. Re:Mr Tuttle on Slashback: Vista Rewrite, Tuttle Travesty, Mac Botnets · · Score: 2, Informative

    There's still the Talk page to see.

  8. Hope they fix text-to-speech & voice recogniti on MS Gives 60-Day Deadline to Web Devs · · Score: 1

    While they have the hood open, it'd be nice if apps using SAPI didn't require users to diddle with the default security settings to make it go. (Not that I have any important apps that use it. ;)

  9. Re:if those things run Vista on Automating Future Aircraft Carriers · · Score: 1

    Imagine if they're "involved" with India and have to get some key info from Microsoft tech support?

  10. Triming the fat on Automating Future Aircraft Carriers · · Score: 1
    At a cost of $100K per sailor per year, this represents savings of more than $6 billion.

    With that kind of employee cost, shouldn't they look at outsourcing?

    You must be new here.

  12. Re:The 'We' in Web on The New Wisdom of the Web · · Score: 1

    I hear they plan to tie them all together into one project that does everything called "e-max".

  15. Re:Info on Google Calendar on Mozilla Lightning 0.1 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Discused on Slashdot this March 10th. Apparently it's in closed beta. (A beta beta?)

  16. Re:DoubleClick who? on The State of Online Advertising · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think their black and red "Blocked by Netgear" logo looks pretty classy!

  17. Re:ugly sites load fast on The Surprising Truth About Ugly Websites · · Score: 1

    I remember when zippo was a nice clean web interface to Usenet. That was before the trademark wars, of course. What a shame.

  18. Re:ugly sites load fast on The Surprising Truth About Ugly Websites · · Score: 2, Funny

    Amazing! It manages to be ugly in IE and Firefox but, with each one, it's a different ugly!

  19. Re:ugly sites load fast on The Surprising Truth About Ugly Websites · · Score: 1

    Ummm. But I think that sparse (but well done) sites are nice looking, and the sites that overuse flash are the ugly ones.

  20. Re:Ugly sites... on The Surprising Truth About Ugly Websites · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd use an ugly site .. but only so I could get close to its beautiful sister site.

  21. Re:replacement killers on Microsoft To Construct iPod/DS/PSP Killer · · Score: 1

    I think they're working on a replacement called Strider HoneyMonkey. At first I thought it was just Arwen's pet-name for Aragon, but apparently not.

  22. Re:Its life Jim, but not as we know it. on Earth Life Possibly Could Reach Titan · · Score: 1

    Uh-oh. It's like anti-biotics: If you quit before the bugs are gone, you'll just breed a super-resistant strain.

  23. Shake'n'Bake Social Network on Nike and Google launch Joga.com · · Score: 2, Funny

    It sounds like something Hannibal Lector would be a member of.

  24. iPod Terminator on Microsoft To Construct iPod/DS/PSP Killer · · Score: 1

    But first they need to make a flesh coating and send it back in time. "Are you Jonathan Ive?"

  25. Re:Good, but... on US Government Seeks Open-Source Translation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Perhaps if they opened up a WikiIraqi? Let the differences be worked out in edit fights and revert wars. (But don't let any of those congress staffer yahoos in. ;)
