  1. Subtract ~19 years in suspended animation = ~71 on Captain America Dead at 66 · · Score: 1

    from wikipedia link, above:

    In 1945, during the closing days of World War II, Captain America and Bucky try to stop the villainous Baron Zemo from destroying an experimental drone plane. Zemo launches the plane with an armed explosive on it, with Rogers and Barnes in hot pursuit. They reach the plane just before it takes off, but when Bucky tries to defuse the bomb, it explodes in mid-air. The young man is believed killed, and Rogers is hurled into the freezing waters of either the North Atlantic or the English Channel (accounts differ). Neither body is found, and both are presumed dead.[22] ...
    He [returned] in The Avengers #4 (March 1964), which story explained that in the final days of WWII, Captain America fell from an experimental drone plane into the North Atlantic Ocean and spent decades frozen in a state of suspended animation.

    Are you saying it doesn't have two firewire ports?

    And last I checked, it was pretty well scaled down.

    I know that one guy from google is on apple's board, but still. They made a special version of Google Maps, so don't tell us there's NO third-party software on it!

    Put them all together and the spell FUD!

    Well, UFD, but the F should always go before the U.

    Otherwise we couldn't say "F U!"

    OK, I'm done.

  6. Wrong-o! on Luxpro Sues Apple for Damages and 'Power Abuse' · · Score: 1

    I buy iPods because of the superior user experience. That means having the integrated iTunes store, the click wheel UI, and the fact that since I'm a Mac user, it's a pain to even TRY and use a different mp3 player.

  7. Actually you can on iPod Alternatives for Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    I have an Archos Studio 10 and it won't mount with OS X anymore. In the past I've experienced many freeze-ups to the whole OS when the Archos was attached or copying files to/from my Mac. I've had some succcess with OS 9 still. Archos no longer offers Mac drivers for this product.

    I think my only alternative now is to attach it to a PC for reformatting and ebay it.

  13. Will it search members-only forums? on Build Your Own Google-Powered Search Engine · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I belong to a few forums that require member registration to browse. As a result, you can't use google normally to search the forum. Can this be used or would it make the information be publicly available?

    ebay has them for under $10. Some even with an LED.

    Of course they gouge you on the shipping.

  15. I use the right one for my search on Google or Wikipedia - Which is Your First Stop? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If I want to know the cast of a movie, I use IMDB.
    If I want to see older versions of a web page, I use the wayback machine at archive.org
    If I want a quick summary of a single subject, I use wikipedia
    If I need to know the name of a song from a few lyrical fragments, I use google.

    Google is a search engine for most of the web so if I HAD to limit myself to one starting place, it would be google. Or dogpile :D

  16. Still looks retarded on Image Metrics May Revolutionize Facial Animation · · Score: 1

    This is a step up from Polar Express, but it looks like we need another step or two before it's good enough. Heck, Gollum didn't have that "slow motion" problem that this seems to have. Then again, the clip of Fred and Ethel looked pretty good.

  20. Re:Pluto Dwarfed on IAU Demotes Pluto to 'Dwarf Planet' Status · · Score: 1

    http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/ask_astro/answer s/970326c.html
    Despite the fact that Pluto and Neptune temporarily change places in their distance from the sun, they will never collide. This is due to two reasons: First, Pluto's orbit is inclined to the ecliptic. by 17 degrees. (To see an illustration of this, take a look at
    http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/billa/tnp/overview.htm l )
    So even though we say their orbits "cross", Pluto is actually quite a distance "above"Neptune. Secondly, Pluto orbits the sun twice for every three orbits of Neptune. The two planets are said to be in a "resonance orbit". For such orbits, the two bodies never get close to each other. In fact, the closest the two planets come to each other is 2 billion kilometers.
