  1. Space men on Bad Science Awards · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think we should grow a baby from birth in a space capsule that is rotating to mimic a gravity much greater then Earths gravity. Then when he's on earth he'll be like superman.

    Or grow vegatables in 0 gravity so they can grow HUGE.

    Bad science I know but it'd be fun to see the results

  2. Notebooks on Laptops May Be Hazardous to Your Fertility · · Score: 1

    Didn't the industry change the name to Notebook PC's several years ago? Mainly because you're not supposed to put them in your laps because it doesn't help with the heat dissapation.

  5. Then he's wrong on Sun's COO Pretends Linux Belongs To Red Hat · · Score: 1

    If he was refering then, to Red Hat's distrobution of linux, he's incorrect. Doesn't SuSE have more installs world wide?

    So it's down to Microsoft ( Default Choice )
    Sun ( Server only )
    SuSE ( Best god damn operating system ever put together )

    I'm not bias

  6. I visit my family on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Especially around the holidays when I see more of them, I have constant side work.

  7. I already did this on Flexiglow UV Reactive Neon Paint · · Score: 3, Funny

    Many many moons ago I colored my keyboard and mounted a blacklight underneath my monitor stand so that I could be in a very dark room and still see my keys needed to code n play my video games.

    Problem was I used Tide to color the keys, as Tide laundry detergent reflects rather brightly under blacklight. A little too brightly in fact as I soon washed it off becuase it was too bright and distracting.

    But let me tell you when I was using that thing ... my hands always smelled clean.

  8. In other news on Dolphin Jumps Again with Artificial Fin · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The Vietnam vet is still sitting by the side of the road singing about how he has no legs.

  9. Yub Yub on Return of the Jedi DVD Detailed Changes · · Score: 1

    I prefer the Yub Yub celebration song at the end of Jedi, as I prefer most of the movies as they were untouched.

    I'm sure Lucas will pander to me and sell an Original theatrical realease of Star Wars on DVD reasonably priced. Bringing the total to what ... 17 releases of the same movie?

  11. SuSE vs Red Hat on Dell Teams Up With SUSE · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I was always under the impression that SuSE was the most popular distro. I think they were the first to commercially distribute linux. While Red Hat as the most popular in the U.S. SuSe was the most popular world wide?

    I've long thought SuSE to be far FAR superior to all other distros I've tried and have said over and over again that it can be used by a newbie to linux or a mission critical server application out of the same box.
    In a couple years (or less the way SuSE is in the news more and more recently) people will agree that Red Hat is no longer the name when it comes to a great pre-packaged linux.

  17. Re:Pfffft... whatever! on What's Up With Computer Audio? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Um I'm sorry to have to totally disagree, but the very next iD game - Quake did something kind of evolutionary and paid a big name artist (Nine Inch Nails) to produce their music. It moved the bar far beyond anything MIDI.

    Reading back perhaps you're being sarcastic :| ;)

  18. Government on Britain is the World's Surveillance Leader · · Score: 1

    When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny. --Thomas Jefferson

    I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. -- Dwight D. Eisenhower

    Government is a disease masquerading as its own cure

  19. When will they really be punished? on Microsoft Found Guilty of Misleading Advertising · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Most government have heavy laws to try and help protect people from corporations. Yet if a person is brought in to court on so many charges in a time frame the court adds them all up hoping to get a better view of how the person is acting in (and hurting) the society. But giant corporations, they can get hauled to court constantly even over the same charge again and again and courts treat them all as seperate cases. Why not look at the big picture and see what these giants are doing to society and pass judgement trying to change something rather then trying to say something the corperations obviously aren't going to listen to?

    YaST is the very best setup tool EVER!!

    Works perfectly for configuring most (if not everything) for the system. Both in a GUI and across the globe via SSH.

    Just my opinion, blows other distrobutions' setup tools out of the water.
