  1. 'if our charges weren't true, NASA wouldn't bot.." on NASA Wasting Time and Money on Moon Landing Doubters · · Score: 1

    "if our charges weren't true, NASA wouldn't bother answering them' they'll snivel"

    Right, There's something to that though. If I were NASA I'd say, "Whatever man, If you want to be a dumbass, go ahead. I have rockets to launch."

  2. Build it like the russians do! on Building a Personal Clean Room? · · Score: 4, Funny

    (I was on the ASU Sat1 team. && !(I know what I'm talking about))

    Go to radio shack! Buy all your parts there.

    If you're a farmer, build it in the pig pen. If you're not a farmer, find a farmer.

    If it can work under those conditions, it can work anywhere.

  3. I need it because on New Tadpole SPARCbook RSN · · Score: 1

    I want a really fast word processor. I'm sure that's all it's good for. Right?

    Finally a REAL answer!

  5. Re:Big Black Holes are Thin on There's a Hole in the Middle of It All · · Score: 1

    The "We're all in a black hole." is a neat idea.

    How about this one. We know that a black hole is a macroscopic object that acts just like a quantum particle.

    Suppose that when the universe was 'young' before the phase shift to matter as we know it (protons, electrons, etc) there was a universe with a simmilar level of granularity that supported life, 'solar systems', gallaxies of a sort, and that they all collapsed into black holes, which then became the building blocks for our atoms, gallaxies, etc.... The universe could be going through another phase change.

    Thoughts?

  6. Re:roots of english on Learning Latin - Has It Helped You? · · Score: 1

    I took Latin for 2 years in High School. It was great. My prof was in china after WWII helping with the reconstruction. I learned alot of Japanese in that class.

  7. Graphics @ ASU on Are Colleges Helping to Maintain the Microsoft Monopoly? · · Score: 3, Informative

    In my 400 level 'intro to graphics' the professor REQUIRED that we use MS Products for developement.

    Several weeks later after ~50% of the class wouldn't be quiet about it, he said he'd allow any language, but no others were supported by the TA.

    The following semester he continued to allow any tools/language, but only 'supported' M$.

  11. The see clearly method? on Laser Vision Surgery for Developers? · · Score: 1

    I've seen an actress (famous but I don't recall her name) who professes to have used this 'see clearly method' to dramatically improve her vision and her son's.

    Is this a possible alternative? Even if it's not, how effective is this? Over the past 4 years, living in front of the computer, I've noticed a degradation of my vision. I want it to stop!

    Just hope they don't store the copy on IBM 75GXP drives.

  13. Gravity on Firefly Premieres Tonight · · Score: 1

    Try Babylon 5... They did a good job with most of the ships.

    I noticed the gally/lounge looks bigger than most of the boat, and that it's laid out like a regular kitchen (ie:sudden maneuvers send stuff flying!) They should have had a sailboat designer on staff.

    Ok, we have Toy Story and Buffy....

    The rest are... blech!!!!! Good ideas that suffer from Lucas quality execution. I only hope this story goes beyond the formula it's built on.

    Fox should have picked up Farscape.....

  15. The Scotty solution on Making Changes to an IT Business? · · Score: 2, Funny

    First, tell them it can't be done with current technology, but start working on it immediatly.

    Multiply all work estimates by a factor of 4, then tell them it's 'iffy'.

    Ignore their spec, write your own as generic as possible. When they change it 1/2 way through, you bitch and moan, then write the gui that will give them what they want.

  16. "broken the speed of light" eh? on Speed Of Light Broken With Off Shelf Components · · Score: 1

    They never claimed to do that. Infact, this seems like nothing more than a variant of the 'group velocity' stuff in your average modern physics class. While this is interesting, please try not to mislead with the article title.

  17. A single desktop? on Red Hat Explains Stance on KDE/Gnome Desktop Changes · · Score: 1

    "I hope that RedHat successfully forces both Gnome and KDE to become compatible with one another which would result in the creation of a single desktop. This would be the greatest gift to the Linux world."

    Sounds alot like Microsoft. One of the reasons I LIKE Linux is my free range of choices.

    What the hell has happened to this site?

    "his "performance" in Much Ado About Nothing was embarrassing"

    Yes, much ado, about nothing.

    Christopher R. will prob. never be equaled. I'd be happier with a virtual actor than anyone breathing.

    "What's wrong with plain old Mt Dew? It did represent 80% of my intake by volume from age 15 to 22."

    Sorry, Mtn Dew tends to retard genital growth. It's the Yellow dye #5.

    Northwest and United are 2 airlines I would avoid flying @ all costs. The service is horrible!

    A good, friendly airline (that won't try to read you mind) is SUN Country.

    I hate to say it, but most of what I remember seems to bear this out. Professors who should be fired aren't. If you're new, you're, well, in shark infested waters.
    One prof and I had many conversations about who had the most 'candy' to give to the dept. Apparently this 'candy' could take the form of new papers, grants, general status etc.
    Acedemia is as bad or worse than the private sector politically.
