    exactly, but i doubt they are part of the normal digestion system of a cow :-)

  2. Re:pollution? on Cow Manure --> Electricity · · Score: 4, Informative

    that would probably be degrees fahrenheit, as at 100 Celcius the bacteria that help create the methane would simply die, while 100 F is near the the body temperature of a warm blooded animal (like a cow)

  3. Re:Why don't we send a relay probe? on Technologies that Have Exceeded Their Expectations? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My laymen's guess is that it would go at least as fast as voyager, and would therefore be even costlier to launch, as it wouldn't be able to use the beneficial effect of being accelerated by the planets it passes as it would have to go in the same direction as voyager is now, and its too soon for the planets to be in the same positions.
    Also, I guess voyager isnt collecting all that much usefull info as its information gathering devices werent built to "read" the info in deep space
    (excuse the spelling errors, Im a bit drunk)

  4. Re:Not fast enough on Net Speed Record Smashed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    1 tb is 1024 * 1024 * 8 megabits (8388608 MB)
    8388608 MB / 923 MB/s = 9088 s
    9088 s = 2.53 h
    Seems fast enough, or am I missing something?

  5. Re:Wow.. Thats fast. on Net Speed Record Smashed · · Score: 2, Funny

    and what is this "minute" they speak of?
    Why do we have to use these obscure units when we could have easily had LOC's/unit of Planck time or Animatrix DVD / fortnight ?

  6. Re:Great... on Internet Traffic Still Growing Quickly · · Score: 1

    when somebody asks you about your childhood, do you first talk jibberish like: "buffering.... 20% 44% 56% buffering... 52% 98% 75% 100% 105%" before you get to the memory? :-)

  7. Re:Coming from a tube amp bigot... on New Developments in Music Technology · · Score: 1

  9. Re:When I was in college... on Spammers Using Students as Relays · · Score: 1

    Ooh don't poo-poo $20, billmaly. $20 will buy you a steak and kidney pie, a cup of coffee, a slice of cheesecake and a newsreel. With enough change left over to ride the trolley from Battery Park to the polo grounds.

    What the hell? Is that colon as in "intestin"? And if so, how the hell do they make it extreme?

  11. Re:Have you tried F1? on Game Theory at 190mph · · Score: 1

    The ferarri winning streak which has lasted like three years now is sort of making F1 very boring. I loved it before, though

  12. Re:More boring and useless weblog on Blog From Your Cellphone? · · Score: 1

    I actually never read a blog like that and Ive read many...
    Altough I can imagine some like that exist and are probably hilarious :-).

    I don't know wheter religious right nutter Jack Chick is some sort of a church leader, but he sure hates it.
    This comic is also pretty hilarious

    Using word is ALWAYS a pain ;-)

  16. More money for the artist? on Instant Concert CDs? · · Score: 1

    As there aren't any expensive studio costs involved and the cost of sound engineers et al were covered by the entrance tickets, would this mean that the artist would get a bigger share of the money?

  17. Wrong category! on Jack Valenti's Views On The Digital Age · · Score: 1

    "In the digital world, we don't need back-ups, because a digital copy never wears out. It is timeless"

    Its a unit for measuring distance, like a kiloDVD is a unit for measuring data :-D
