  1. PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN... on More Cheap Aerial Photography · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yep, I said it! This makes me sooo proud, but not for just being an American, but for a land to allow someone to expand thier mind, to break past the envelope of our existence to strive for more than what we have. This guy got one and one and made something more than what these parts were meant to be used for. This is what the term "American Ingenuity" means, using the tools to develop something more outstanding. This is what Franklin, Jefferson, Whitney, Bell, Edison, Tesla, Farnsworth, and all the other untold inventors that toil everyday without the glory that they deserve!

    I just had an idea. [b]When[/b] Bush win's again the communist left will lose the argument of "Selected, not elected" since he will have been elected in 2004.

    Boo-ya!

    THAT WAS HER!?! I used to watch Beakman's World before they switched assistants, but I didn't realize it was Brittany Murphy who was the original chick?

    I LOVED BEAKMAN'S WORLD! (even though I was already an adult when I started watching).

  6. Re:These CF-bashers are totally clueless on Cold Fusion Back From The Dead · · Score: 0

    I've been doing CF development for 9 years, since 1995. Yeah, I think I started with version 1.0 or 1.5. The manual was a small 50-75 page spiral notebook. I was evaluating ASP and CF, and CF was the easiest, less complex, fastest to develop in, and did what we needed to do. Back then I needed to export results into Excel. I was thrown into shock as to how EASY it was in CF in comparison to ASP.

    CF is one bad mutha-f*cker! I'm starting to like C# more and more, especially with the complex things you can do over CF, but CF is still the fastest easiest thing out there than runs on the most platforms!

  9. Holographic screen on Palmtop Nirvana? · · Score: 0

    I've ALWAYS dreamed of some sort of futuristic PDS that has everything, including the screen real estate. I figured the only way to make it really work without having to squint your eyes. Why now have it produce some sort of 3D holographic screen that you can touch "in the air" as your input. Now this would be bad-ass!

  10. We have the technology to break down nuclear waste on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 0

    I forgot where I read, seen, or heard it from, but we supposedly already have the technology to use, I think, lasers to break down nuclear waste in a matter of minutes/hours in the lab. We just have to get it into commercial hands.

  14. I got a raise this year, and hopefully another one on Tech Turnover Rate Lowest Since The 80's · · Score: 0

    Yes, I'm contractor. I've been sure and steady at my current project. I've seen two guys come and go in this one year (yes, which I know is nothing to write home about), but they want stable dependable people where I work. I do my work, I do it good, and it doesn't break. Therefore I'm rewarded with a raise. I'm in the middle of trying to get my second raise for this year, but I'm not counting on hit since I've already had one this year already and I hear about people getting canned left and right, but I'm in a position that they need me. I'm doing the work of two people and they LOVE ME! THEY REALLY, REALLY, LOVE ME!

  18. Re:Where the term "Class M" came from on Terrestrial (Rocky) Planet Discovered · · Score: 0

    From a Vulcan term: "Minshara-Class"

    Class M is the classification used in Star Trek to refer to planets suitable for supporting life as we know it. They usually have oxygen/nitrogen atmospheres and are in a temperature range similar to Earth's.

    Many people have complained about how many planets in Star Trek are Class M. The reason for this is simply one of budgets. Scenes taking place on a Class M planet can be easily filmed on Earth. Other planets need detailed sets made in studios.

    Well known Class M planets in Star Trek are: Earth, Kronos and Bajor.

    On the Star Trek series Enterprise, Sub-commander T'Pol suggests that Class-M stands for Minshara-Class, a Vulcan term.

    Other canonical Star Trek planet classifications include Class D planet, Class H planet, Class J planet, Class K planet, Class L planet, and Class Y planet.

    In retrospect, I read all the Macross books, and I loved them the best. I really loved reading the epilogues of the Macross saga.

  24. Re:Environmental effects on Cooling Toronto Using Lake Ontario · · Score: 0

    Funny. Fact: There is not such thing as "cold", only the "absence of heat".

    Other things Joe Schoe should know that are backwards:
    * Voltage doesn't kill, Amps do.
    * Guns don't kill people, people do. I never heard of a gun walk by itself, point to someone and pull its own trigger.
    * The OS and GUI are two seperate things.
    * It's n-u-c-l-e-a-r not n-u-c-u-l-e-a-r
    * RAM (memory) and Hard drive are not the same thing and NOT interchangable terms.
    * MHz is not the defining property of a CPU

  25. Re:Fighting Robot Anime on Humanoid Robot Combat in Japan · · Score: 0

    LET'S NOT FORGET: ROBOTECH !!

    This is the mother of all modern robo fighting mecha. Yes, yes, we know there was Tranzor-Z and Voltron, but they don't hold a candle to Robotech. And dont' get into a pissing fight over which Voltron was better, the Lions or the 15 individual spaceships.
