  8. MicroStrategy on Dot-Com Craze Peaked 10 Years Ago This Week · · Score: 1

    My dim memories of the time was that Michael J. Saylor's MicroStrategy was going to datamine the present and pown the future. If I had heard of google by that time, I thought they were some obscure application that had to do with Macintoshes.

  9. Re:Guess what on A Public Funded "Microsoft Shop?" · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    M$ has DOS emulation.

  10. Pictures or it didn't happen on Hungarian Electric Car Splits Into Two Smaller Cars · · Score: 1

    I know I'm new here, but why the hell wouldn't there be a picture of the car splitting in half? It would be like a Ginsu knife commercial where they never slice the tomato. It would be like a documentary on the Harrier Jet where it never hovers.

  11. Re:Doesn't address the most interesting issue on Lost Nazi Uranium Found In a Dutch Scrapyard · · Score: 1

    ...play is definitely worth seeing, although the first part of the second act limps a bit.

  15. Re:How is this different ... on Is Gawker's "Apple Tablet Scavenger Hunt" Illegal? · · Score: 1

    Most of the pix are taken on the public roads surrounding Maranello. I don't know that I have ever seen any pictures from inside a metal stamping plant or something.

  16. Re:Nothing To See Here, Move Along on What Clown On a Unicycle? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Wazu is known for being quite the party campus...

    Wazoo (or Wazzu, or WSU) is Washington State University, in Pullman, Washington, in the east of the state. Besides beer-drinking, it was also known for being a suspect in the notorious Wazoo/Wazzu Virus that plagued the world in the 1990s.

    Western Washington University is, surprisingly, to the west of the state. I know they were doing some fantastic work with rotary engines in ancient days, but I don't know what the clowns are doing now.

  23. Re:They had to Queue? on 2010 Bug Plagues Germany · · Score: 1

    New Yorkers say, "wait on line." For instance, if anyone ever heard Curtis Sliwa on his national radio show, he occasionally used this phrasing. Not sure of the social/regional extent, but I have noticed it all my life from anyone with an obvious New Yawk/Fran Drescher accent.

  25. Re:Nuclear Would Use Less Land with Higher Output on Massive Solar Updraft Towers Planned For Arizona · · Score: 1

    Is it as easy to find/mine uraninite as it is for coal? My understanding of coal is that once you find it, it is soft and plentiful. Not much needs to be done to it before it goes to the power plant.

    For uraninite, how many more or less shovels and dump trucks and refining $THINGIES are needed to get the equivalent amount of energy to the power plant?
