  1. Re:images of the process on Gas Clouds As Giant Telescopes · · Score: 1

    Those would be the gas cloud enhanced images.

    Seriously though, the bigger images are much better to print with. (Not that I can see many people printing this stuff out)

  2. More interesting stroy on WebDAV Buffer Overflow Attack Compromises IIS 5.0 · · Score: 1

    Misread the headline as 'WebDAV: Buffy Overcome and Attacks Consumer IIS 5.0'

    Would have made for a much more interesting story anyway.

  3. Re:Analog tax returns on TurboTax DRM Writes to Your Boot Sector?! · · Score: 1

    If my washing machine ripped off all the buttons on my shirt and hid my pants till I could prove I legal owned it, I'd be starting to think washing by hand was a better alternative. Or at least looking in to getting a new washing machine.

  4. Why im getting both. on Lord of The Rings DVD, Now or Later? · · Score: 1

    I just thought I'd add to this already very long discussion by saying why I'll be getting both.

    2 Disk set - The only reason I got this set is because it's the movie on a single disk. I actually get annoyed with movies that flow over 2 disks (or sides). The break, although usually done at an opportune moment, reinforces the fact that I'm only watching a movie, and therefor doesn't allow me to become immersed in the world. This 2 disk set will allow me to become immersed in the world for the whole movie. Plus it has some funky previews of TTT...

    4 Disk set - The primary reason for me wanting this box is the extras. I love to see this sort of thing, and 2 disks of it is going to rock! The fact that the movie has an extra 30 to 40 mins of footage (Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin meeting elves as they travel between the Shire and Bree for example) is going to be an extra bonus for me, and not really the main reason I get the disks.

  5. CD or not a CD.. on Post-it Notes vs. Copy-Inhibited CDs · · Score: 1

    I was wondering the same thing. If the discs don't have the CD logo how are they being sold as CDs and if they DO have the logo can they be sued for misrepresentation of their product?

  6. Oh great... on NASA Wants You To Fly The Highway In The Sky · · Score: 1

    Great, now I have to watch out for idiots cutting me off in a whole new dimension.. just what I need to keep my sanity.

    Could provide a solution to road rage though, whose gonna try and punch out the guy stopped at the green light if you risk a 20 story drop.

  7. Let me get this right.... on The Real Mission to Mars · · Score: 3, Funny
    "Total length of applications should not exceed 3 pages. Please include 9 copies."

    So let me get this right. They have not 1 but 2 stations, but no photocopier in the office...
