  2. DUP!! on Semi-Identical Twins Discovered · · Score: 5, Funny

    This story was already posted!! Oh, no, wait...

  3. open source on NASA Can't Pay for Killer Asteroid Hunt · · Score: 1

    "Traditional" asteroid hunts are EXPENSIVE.

    Why don't they make use of open source software? Sasteroids is free.

  4. This stuff is great on Unplugging Your Backups · · Score: 1

    I looked into using license-free microwave and radio for doing backup. It was amazingly inexpensive. You can get BOTH ends of a 48mbps link for a couple grand. There are a lot of possibilities with this technology too. You can share the cost of bringing fiber into a building with the buildings nearby. I evaluated this product a few months back, looks like the price went up just a bit so I'd shop around: FibeAir 4800.

  6. RC? on Windows Vista RC1 Complete · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How can something "nearly complete" be a candidate for release? Unless they are considering releasing THAT BUILD, it's not a true RC.

    OK. I'll bite. What does our relative size to the universe have to do with the significance of any sort of problem (between other people, or not)?

    If someone steals my car, should I be less upset in a larger universe?

  8. Oops on A New Biopaper for Organ Printing · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Sorry about the dimensions of your new organ. We couldn't get the printer off 'Landscape mode'".

  9. Re:Presentation Problem to be solved? on CSS for the LDP? · · Score: 1

    Exactly what presentation problem are you trying to solve? Make it look prettier?

    Yes.

  10. a good reason on Water Basketball Robot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They choose basic because that is probably the only language that processor can be programmed in.

    You don't program such chips with high-level languages like C & C++. Typically you only use assembly language or other machine-level codes.

    The basic-like language (not really a subset, btw) was just provided as a convenience to the programmers.
