  1. Re:Needs more controversy on Critics Call For NASA TV To "Liven Up" · · Score: 1

    Let's let the scientists loose on figuring out if there theoretically might be a way to deep-fry a pizza. Then engineers can try to implement it, unless there is an infinite plane assumed.

    Turning signals? What are those? If you're referring to the hand-waving, you need to take a closer look at the hands.

    WTF is a gym?

    Gym is a guy I met IRL at the convenience store, when I was buying a pizza and chips. I tried to email him, but encountered some weird site featuring steel and leather furniture.

  4. Great! on Nuclear Reactors As Art · · Score: 4, Funny

    I give this a glowing review.

  5. Just in time! on Cyber-Security Czar To Be Named · · Score: 1

    Of course we need a Cyber-Security Car. With so many cars getting electronic enhancements, even becoming WiFi hot spots, it is obvious that we need more security for them. However, they should all have security, not only one car. Unless one Cyber-Security Car offers so much protection that a single one in an area is able to protect a nearby herd of cars. I hope the manufacturers quickly add security, so the government won't try to control the kinds of security in cars.

    Someone else already said he's not a Democrat.

    Whoever registered the domain made a mistake. If the domain is registered to Stephen Conroy and at his address, then the domain has been given to Conroy and he could do whatever he wants with it. Redirecting the domain doesn't require government action, merely Conroy's action.

    Both articles mention $30 million, not $300 million.

    Zero means nothing, so an extra zero means nothing.

  13. Re:Nice vid and all, but I've seen that movie befo on $300 Sci-Fi YouTube Video Lands $30m Movie Deal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You haven't flown much in real air, have you? You should try it in a small airplane. Check at your nearest airport for short flights and see if you can find one with a plane which holds less than 50 people. After a summer flight in a 10-passenger plane you'll change your opinion of how a wing through air might behave. Take a dose of motion sickness medicine before your first flight, as you don't know how you'll react to it.

    A filesystem is a database for files. But most filesystems are designed to have many fewer items than a database is designed to handle.

    It's an open hardware project. Most people can build one, but it takes 9 months to download the basic hardware. Programming it takes years.

    What did the Germans come up with? I bet it was so well documented that it couldn't send anybody mad.

    We couldn't find their puzzle among the puzzle pieces of Berlin. We did find the documentation, but unfortunately that's enough to drive men mad also.

    I am looking for my van to take hairpin turns at 250mph....are you not going to suggest that maybe I should be looking for a different vehicle :-)

    Two choices:

    1. Look for steeply banked hairpin turns.
    2. Drop the van on a hairpin-covered trampoline on the Moon. You'll need to be in a vacuum because your van's terminal velocity in Earth's atmosphere is less than 250 mph.
  25. Help the environment on What Do You Do When Printers Cost Less Than Ink? · · Score: 1

    Practice printer sequestration. Keep your old printers out of the environment. Use them for footstools, coffee tables, stack them to replace your sofa, bedside table, bed, cover the wall with them instead of wallpaper, fill your basement so you add additional support to help hold up all the printers.
