  1. Re:Better than Hubble on Cassini Greets Jupiter · · Score: 1

    Two totally different animals with two totally different purposes. One is for deep visual space exploration from a close proximity and maintainable source. Think of the other as a throw away camera. The throw away camera just happened to come with lense that was built for raw imaging and not xray scans like the Hubble.

  2. Re:The date on New Advance In Quantum Dot Technology · · Score: 1

    Aside from the misfortune of having a moron run off with your date, what you did back to him was fuckin beautiful.

    Oh yeah, nano technology. Very, very cool. It sucks that it's going to take 20 years to get commercial versions of the things that are discovered today.

  3. Re:Less O3 means more UV gets thru to make... O3! on Ozone Hole Will Heal, Say British Scientists · · Score: 1

    Ahhh. Some one who knows the deal.

    The stats are a media lie. The Earth is NOT a regenrative system. Once the molecules are lost, they are not regained. The Earth has been losing water, and it's proprietary elements that make up such, since the beginning of the planet. Like a drop of water evaporating in the sun, The Earth does the same thing.

    I find it interesting that the general tone of the media still thinks that the population is of lower than average intelligence. When will they release the real statistics? We need to instiil fear and a total state of panic if you want to get rapid results. (Billy Bob in back hills somewhere, just NOW learned what the Ozone layer actually is and the fact that his '68 ford running with just headers and no tail pipe is contributing to it's loss)

    Have they attempted to do studies of all cigarette smoking to find an estimate as to how much CO1 is being emitted by this government funded habit? I bet it ranks up there some where with major polution contributors.

    Maybe we could pull a 'UTAH' and offer some female companionship to pursuade them otherwise.

  5. Re:Woohoo! on U.S. Supreme Court Issues Election Ruling · · Score: 1

    When the smoke finally clears on this whole issue and the Gore bashing ends, can we plaese have an investigation of the Bush family regarding illegal ballot tampering in Florida. I'd love to see the answer as to how deep corruption runs in this country. Truthfully, I'm sick of the shit.

  6. Re:As they should. on RIAA Offers More Details Regarding Online Royalties · · Score: 1

    uni=1, essentailly the root of all. Insert suffix as you see fit. (-X, -ty, -fied, etc.) As for the music business, MP3, Napster, Gnutella, and the like, they all are vying for that pole position.
    I beleive in Art for Arts sake. Not art for moneys sake. I have been a musician since the age of 5. How much money have I made? None. Have I tried? Yes. Will I ever make money? Not at this rate.

    Poeple are refusing to pay for music as it is, what makes any organization think they can pull off charging for every time a song is accessed from these types of distros? The perfect system would include every song ever recorded either for private or public release. Each time a song was accessed via any means, the artist would hear the sound of pennies dropping in to their bank accounts.

    Noting the fact, that in order to do that, the resources necessary and the cooperation needed blows the plan out of feasablilty within the first second or two of thinking about it.

    I'm for the unification, without trying to sound like we need a super power that has it's finger on the pulse commanding every move. That unification demands cooperation and cohesive efforts. Does mankind really possess that ability, or is it just another pipe dream?

  7. Re:I'm starting to notice a cycle here on Pentium 4 Systems Recalled By Some U.S. Stores · · Score: 1

    It is truly a time when companies need to stop writing checks that their asses can't 'cache'. ...That was bad, that was really bad.

  8. Re:Legos rule on Monty Python and The Matrix LEGO · · Score: 1

    Here! Here! I third the motion and all that!!! At the age of 4 I had built a Lego guitar with strings and it actually played (although it sounded horrible-even unamplified!). Then it was on to the old school metal Erector Sets. Then came electronics, then Architecture & Design. Some where I added computers to that list. Is there a progression there?

    I think the guy who invented Legos should be up for an award for his contribution to the education of mankind in their youth (or adulthood, if ya still can't let the Lego thing go. Like me.)

  9. Re:266Mhz FSB? on AMD's Secrets Revealed · · Score: 1

    A theory. I realize that this does not directly apply to the comment on FSB, but it is relative to the AMD success. [Unlike the first twenty comments for this topic]

    Last year, an earth quake took out one of Intels major chip production facilities. Thus crippling production for new types of chipsets. All of which I cannot name for short term memory loss has set in. Any way, AMD took the reins and sped past Intel in success as a direct result. Supply and demand thing I guess. Personally I am an AMD fan. Call them an underdog or what ever. They are quickly becoming a well represented/proven option to Intel. Hopefully it remains that way.

  10. Re:Aren't the best ideas the obvious ones? on Rounding Out Your IDE Cables · · Score: 2

    well, ummm, not really. in the world of digital audio, signal degradation is of utmost importance. wound grouped cables are wound in such a way that they augment signal transfer. Say for instance a 300 foot long snake that runs from the front of house mixing console to the power back stage. millivolt signal distortion happens almost instantaneously when cables are improperly grouped. more relative to this subject would be cat5 for instance. 4 twisted pairs. all isolated, in four pairs which will group the signal over distance. there is an eqaution but don't ask me what the hell it is, because I don't know. In IDE drive cables, the short distance might be a saving grace, but low level signal distortion might me some thing to consider. A thought. :)

  12. Re:I don't know how much cheating affects gameplay on Combating Cheating In Online Games · · Score: 1

    ...what does affect gameplay is this: 5% skill, 5% mod, 90% connection speed. I'm betting the folks that are having such a poor time playing are probably linked via 56k or less. Attempting to run with the big kids, who are DSL or two way cable accessed, will certainly yield very poor results.

  18. Re:Wow on Theory Tells How Egyptians Aligned Pyramids To True North · · Score: 1

    I can't belive that it has taken this long for people tyo realize that the Pyramids are calendars/telescopes. They were built to tell time. The pharoah holed himself up in the depths of the structure and when certain stars appeared in certain "airshafts" he headed out to the front of the pyramid and told people to go plant the fields. The same went for all seasons and key points in the seasons. Given the fact that we are all the de\scendents of another time, it blows me away to think that people do not recognize that man is a genetic offshsoot of Universal Consciousness and intelligence.

  19. Re:Frankly on Are Public WHOIS Records Necessary? · · Score: 1

    Open SRS is THE best resourse for for dom reg there is. NSI is a ridiculous, monopolistic approach to applying the reins to a free range animal. Working for a hosting company has proven this to me. As for whois records. Very usefull when it comes to getting domains transfered that NSI refuses, or makes nearly impossible to let go. Tucows gets props.

    No one implied that you had sex with the stereo, or is that some thing we should know about Mr. Coward?

  21. Re:Old Methods Not At Fault on eLection '04 · · Score: 1

    I had not heard about this. Though, I wouldn't ever dispute the fact. It's quite possible that this election is a bust for all parties included. Now what the hell are we gonna do? Do we really need a president any way? If I had to send some one to another country to represent us in time of crisis, I'd send some one like...say...OZZY! Yeah, he'd get the job done. I'm assuming he's at least honest.

  23. Re:Old Methods Not At Fault on eLection '04 · · Score: 1

    The real fault is with the Bush family and their hands being in every pot that is. Can some one say rigged election? I have even heard reports of randomly placed police road blocks doing equipment checks near voting facilities, in hopes of making it a little harder to get to the polls to vote. As for electronic voting....it'll get the shit hacked out of it. Nuff said.

  24. Re:Thank you! on And The Winner Is... Nobody! · · Score: 1

    This election has more or less proven it's an Us Vs. Them country. Straight up the middle. That should tell us that we are living in a divided country regardless.
