  2. Now, to find the machinery just a few feet away! on Spirit Rolls on Mars · · Score: 1

    If you look on Enterprise Mission web site, you can see what those rocks really are. Hopefully, someone will get the guts to take a closer look and prove that there was INTELLIGENT life on Mars before some sort of catastrophe.

  3. As Mr. Burns would say: on Spirit Rolls on Mars · · Score: 1

    Eeeeck-sell-lent!

  7. Re:Hmm, what happened to the last lander NASA sent on First High-Res Color Photos from Mars · · Score: 1

    Printfs, HAHAHA!!! Any real computer nerd would get this! HAHA!

    But really, I with the Mars Express radar would get to work and find those ancient city ruins on Mars!

    How about we get this rover to find some evidence of past civilization on the Mars and find that WE are the martians.

  8. Boomers on First Ever Nanotube Transistors On A Circuit · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the anime AD Police and Knight Sabers, from Bubblegum Crisis, that have to battle these "Boomers" that are worker androids that occasionally go berserk. They we developed using some sort of artificial muscle with strands of some super fiber. Could be that these super fibers are carbon nanotubes.

    GO KNIGHT SABERS!

  9. Re:I think... on Feds Thwart Extortion Plot Against Best Buy · · Score: 1

    Yeah, we've got a receptionist that does this to everyone in the IT group. It's quite annoying. I think we should send a reply to the guy at goatcx.whatever.

  11. Conspiracy Theory on Fingers Crossed for Beagle · · Score: 1

    Okay, I know, I'm a kook, but it seems like some government entity has been trying to keep NASA from getting a good look at Mars, but now that this European probe is out of that reach maybe it will get to the bottom of all this and get a good picture of the Face Of Mars and maybe some ruins.

    And now, we return you to our regularly scheduled program...

  20. Cinematography was GREAT! on New Battlestar Galactica - Worth a Series? · · Score: 1

    I loved the cinematography on how they shows the Cylons and Vipers. The zoom and pan looked great!! Similar to Star Wars: EP I & II.

    P.S. I like how the Cylons missiles streaked, even though it isn't possible in physics, but screw it, it looked cool. Reminds me of Robotech look when you see those missiles streak!

  23. Re:Zmodem rules. - HERE HERE!!! on Kermit Alive and Well on the Space Station · · Score: 1

    HERE HERE!! Z-modem deserves its place in the Hall of BBSes. Without the resume feature of Z-modem I would be in hell screaming in bloody murder after someone picked up the phone in the house while I was downloading some warez or pr0n!!!
