  1. Re:Rails? Hmmm, interesting. on Solar Sails And Space Propulsion · · Score: 1

    So let them build a space cable out to the Earth-Moon L1 point.

  2. Re:Quirks and Quarks on Solar Sails And Space Propulsion · · Score: 1

    The quantum researcher was hard to pin down on some questions, which kind of makes sense.

  3. Re:"solar rails" on Solar Sails And Space Propulsion · · Score: 1

    Maybe, listen to him, but remember that a backwards-running coocoo-clock is right four times a day.

  4. Re:So.... on Google Maps Now Cover Whole World · · Score: 1

    After you have the Apollo wonder, you still need the Internet Pr0n wonder before you can do it.

  5. Re:Well.. on Google Maps Now Cover Whole World · · Score: 1

    About those country names .. I wasn't too happy when the spray-painting helicopter flew over.

  6. Re:Pharm-Bot's First Law: Kill, kill, kill! on Pharm-Bot Goes On Rampage · · Score: 1

    But have they replaced the bad cybernetic brain?

  7. Re:These things are SMART on Pharm-Bot Goes On Rampage · · Score: 1

    If it's so smart, why did they name it after Waldo? (They obviously didn't name it after RAH's telefactored manipulators.)

  8. Re:AYB Vs. Valantine's Day... on All Your Base Are Turned Five · · Score: 1

    What, they set themselves as foes and posted a message that you would "rue the day you made that your signature"?

  9. Re:Still Payin With Cash on House Limits Patriot Act Rules on Library Records · · Score: 1

    There's special ink on the cover that only shows up under ultraviolet light. (But I'm sure none of it gets on your fingers, so don't worry.)

  10. Re:Just what I wanted! on JavaScript Inventor Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    And as long as scripts can still control your system, I'm happy too.

  11. Re:It Would Be Nice... on JavaScript Inventor Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    In Windows, you can run javascript standalone as a text app with cscript.exe as in cscript blah.js. (Recently noticed this in an example.)

  12. Re:Hmm on How the Batsuit Works · · Score: 1
    REALLY needs to be made into a movie...

    Are you REALLY sure?

    They might be looking to cast Dana Carvey or Adam Sandler as the lead. Be careful what you wish for. And how are they going to jam that into a movie? Kiss goodbye to the Mutants, Two-Face, the guts, balls, and brains of it.

    But if we get to see the Blue Twinky beat up, that wouldn't be so bad... Nothing like a good BatWhuping of the Man of Stee .. ##screxxch## Patriot Act 3 invoked. NO CARRIER

  13. Re:Hmm on How the Batsuit Works · · Score: 1

    Heh, during most of the confrontations! ("Bloody walking hospital bed", I think Alfred sotto-muttered at one point.) Against Two-Face, crossing between the Gotham Towers, he did remark that he couldn't pay the weight-cost to completely bullet-proof the whole costume, so he has a nice visible target on his chest that just happens to reenforced. (And kinetic energy is still a mean mother.)

  14. Re:More Possible Google Spinoffs on Who Will Google Buy Next? · · Score: 1

    Can I get more cow bell there?

  15. Re:Slashdot on Who Will Google Buy Next? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And they could coordinate the caching of sites before they get slashdotted.

  16. Re:More Possible Google Spinoffs on Who Will Google Buy Next? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Moogle -- Got cow?

  17. Sometimes the replacements are better on Testing Cheaper Printer Ink · · Score: 1
    I found that HP Deskjet black cartridges went way downhill in quality starting 1996ish. After then, they would gum up if you didn't use them every few days, and for all that they were billed as "double" cartridges, the amount of printing from one went down too.

    The replacements work fine and keep going and going ...

  18. Re:Such a deal! on CueCats vs. Common Sense Marketing · · Score: 1

    Their "Convergence Day" future is probably the one where Zefram Cochran shot first.

  19. Re:That's already what Apache does on HTTP Request Smuggling · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A HTTP request is supposed to end with a CR/LF. If that's not what's at the end of the Content-Length, perhaps the request should be dumped? (I'm too lazy to check the RFCs to see how binding that requirement should be.)

  20. Re:Validation on HTTP Request Smuggling · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why not just (a) be less trusting of Content-Length, and (b) reject malformed requests with two of them?

  21. Re:Rosetta on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger for x86 Leaked? · · Score: 1
    Why don't you take an hour and listen to Steve Jobs keynote address?

    Can I get my hour back afterwards?

  22. Re:This Will RUIN Bill Gates' Weekend on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger for x86 Leaked? · · Score: 1

    OSX might spread frictionlessly, but what about the binary commercial apps? Unless they're open source and can be recompiled for x86, or run on a virtual machine like Java, won't this just be "cute but useless"?

  23. Wasted effort on The Evil in E-Mail · · Score: 3, Funny

    Everyone knows that you just have to check the evil bit. (Some terrorists may be sophisticated enough to tamper with the evil bit but if they use Windows, the lack of the bit will stick out like a sore thumb.)

  24. Re:DRM? on AMD Quad Cores, Oh My · · Score: 1

    You get your jokes from that same weird web site too huh?

  25. Re:Do we really need the extra cores? on AMD Quad Cores, Oh My · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    S'truth! It'd be awfully lumpy!
