    well, according to this article they at least tell you how full they are...

  2. Re:ENOUGH APRIL FOOL'S ALREADY! on nVidia/AMD Merger Announced · · Score: 1

    thanks for the tip. Don't remember doing any sight ryhmes in form 5 though.

    Sounds like a silly american thing for people who can't ryhme properly ;)

  3. Re:ENOUGH APRIL FOOL'S ALREADY! on nVidia/AMD Merger Announced · · Score: 1

    never heard of sight rhyme.. but then we don't have 'grades' here in NZ. How old are you if you are in 10th grade?

    Thanks for the advice about the soap though...

    :Games... NOOOOooooooo!!! Wheres the minesweeper and solitare!@#!@#$

  7. Re:Silly on Space Railroad · · Score: 1

    What's funnier is that, even if it tries to go the other way, it's still going ~27 megameters per hour in the wrong direction!@ - relative to the Earth.

  8. Re:That's cute! on Sensitive UV Detector Ignores Visible Light · · Score: 1

    Buildings would look kinda freaky, cause windows block UV light, so they wouldn't be see-through.

    As for everything else, go ask the predator ;)

  9. Re:Don't Get Mad, Get Even on Megapnosaurus? · · Score: 1

    128bit names.

    bring on beetle naming version 6

    They are obviously running out of names with beetle naming version 4...

  10. Re:Wait a second... on Age Of Most Pulsars Is Now A Mystery · · Score: 1

    it's probably news to some poor dude doing his masters in pulsar age measurement...

  11. Re:Yeah... old news on Star Wars Episode II Trailer Tonight · · Score: 1

    Damn you! How am I ever going to get that image out of my head.

    You just ruined the star wars movie for me, or maybe that was Mr. Lucas.... ;)

  12. Re:Links to actual pictures on Most Detailed Image Of Earth Yet · · Score: 1

    Theres a nice 1:1 scale model with HEAPS of detail available for free. Just walk outside... :)

  13. Re:Where's my country? on BlueMarble, new photos of Earth from NASA · · Score: 1

    I can see australia on the easten image, in the bottom right in the dark.

    I can't see NZ?

    What images are you guys looking at?

  14. Re:Not bad on Speed of Light Measurement Using Ping · · Score: 1

    The other nice coincidence is that the amount light travels in a naosecond is a little bit less than a foot, so about the length of a shoe

    the speed of light is 3*10^8m/s
    divide this by 10^9 for nanoseconds and it is 30cm/ns. I don't see what the big coincidence is here?

  15. Re:To take care of some spammers! on Slashback: Cheaters, Spammers, Chessmen · · Score: 1

    um..... why not just plug the DVD player into the VCR and record straight off the DVD. That's what I do....

    They are going to smite us for that one...

  18. Re:This is a weapon of massless destruction on Lunar Lasers · · Score: 1

    2. Guidance - the same way they keep aircraft away from anything else - tell them not to go there. Note that this isn't really a problem, as the metal skin of an aircraft would deflect the beam.

    Oh great. The aircraft will be fine. yay. good for the aircraft...what about the poor sucker on the ground who happens to get a high power microwave beam aimed at him?

  19. Wow... a CMOS transistor... on AMD, IBM Announce Transistor Advances · · Score: 1

    AMD announces it has built a CMOS transistor

    this is a good effort, considering there is no such thing as a CMOS transistor.... CMOS refers to two transistors hooked up so the output can swing fully high and fully low. making this out of one transistor should be a lot bigger news than this article gives justice to...

    stupid chip manufacturers don't know what they are talking about...

    cool, when this hits production, we can replace all our indoor lights and actually get some skin colouring while being stuck in these cubicles...

  25. Re:read the article: because they liked Phish on Did Whales Evolve From Pigs? · · Score: 1

    yeah ok, that makes sense. although why would they prey on fish instead of land dwelling creatures? maybe there was less competition for that food source or something.
