  1. Re:An English stance on Globalism Post 9/11 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Good one moron. The WTC bombing is also the greatest tragedy in your nation's history too and you want to ignore that fact. No single incident has killed that many English civilian citizens in history.

  2. It cannot be done. on Cryonics "Noah's Ark" · · Score: 1

    All brains (Human and other animals) are primarily made up of water. Water expands as you freeze it. Even the best control rate freezers cannot change the basic laws of the physics and chemistry which prevent the damage caused by freezing a brain. Storing the genetic material and/or "saving the code" to a database seems to be a more viable option for permanent preservation.

  3. How do you know the actual body count? on Star Wars Most Violent Movie Ever? · · Score: 1

    As I recall in Star Wars: A New Hope, specific counts for either the Death Star or Alderaan were not mentions. Granted that both are large bodies, one can assume that lots of people live on or in those bodies. However the only vague mention is Obi Wan stating that it was "if as millions of voices cried out and were suddenly silenced". Millions are not necessarily an exact term. I mean it could just mean 2 million. One can't assume that all planets are populated the same as Earth. And Death Stars well... that's an entirely different guess... although I'm sure someone has some "tech" manual on it. (They probably Bothan - hehehe).

  4. Re:Are there good pre-made firewalls for 2.4? on Linux 2.4's Firewalling · · Score: 1

    http://www.astaro.com/products/index.html - It's pretty schweet!

  5. A few problems with that.... on NASA Controls Jet With Nerve Signals · · Score: 3

    I have a few concerns with that type of control: 1. What about muscle spasms or craps. Plus what if you need to "stretch" those muscles a minute? Do you now have to require co-pilots in every aircraft (course commercial aviation requires this anyhow)? 2. Hypothetically. If the pilots are incapicitated, how is someone else going to *easily* take control of the aircraft. Oooopss wait while I strap on some electrodes... oh nevermind there's the ground.

  6. Re:Falcon 3.0 on The Top 15 PC Games Of All Time · · Score: 1

    Falcon 3.0 was good for it's flight model, but the scenarios and missions were beyond unrealistic. I can't tell you the number of times I was like taking off and some AN-12 (Russian Transport) was casually flying over my airfield. Oh that's realistic! It was also buggy as hell. I did manage to use a serial cable to play multiplayer once which was cool for it's time.
