  1. There Can be only one!!! on Linux Spurs MS Price Cuts · · Score: 2

    A man/woman/turing device after my own heart.

  2. I agree. on NASA Considers Abandoning ISS · · Score: 2

    It was originally planned for what, 15 million, and then thens to congress and beuracracy, is up to 50 billion i think. Anybody remember what skylab costs? Im guessing a few retrofitted boosters would have been much cheaper than this thing. ANyone know why this option wasnt used? IT seemed like we had a perfectly functioning concept, and threw it a way for new high tech gadgets that suck.

  3. Oh, yeah, smoke on computers on Salvaging Possessions from Smoke Damage? · · Score: 2

    Still have the mobo and hard drive out of their computer. HAvent had a poersupply to test the mobo, hard drive worked briefly, and the cdrom worked briefly also. If you can get the hard drive running, i would back it up IMMEDIATELY, most important data first.

    Rats!

  5. Talk to the insurance company. on Salvaging Possessions from Smoke Damage? · · Score: 5, Informative

    THey have good advice on this.(You do have insurance, right? I hope) My parents had the same thing happen. I think for the clothes and stuff they were told to use either that orange clean stuff or that oxy clean you see in commercials. Ill check and post again in the nexe couple of days. Also, for things that cant be washed, they have ionization treatments or something like that, but its expensive and takes a few weeks, i believe.

  6. But again on Danish Anti-Piracy Organization Bills P2P Users · · Score: 2

    *I* am not the one copying it. I own it, i put it on my computer. *THEY * copy it by downloading it. The digital/analog copy dosent matter for this point.

    Could you pick another name?

  8. now on Danish Anti-Piracy Organization Bills P2P Users · · Score: 2

    Can they go after me for merely having this stuff availbe on my computer, or do they have to go after the people who have downloaded it? If im plying my car stereo and someone comes by and makes a tape of it, its not my fault, is it?

  9. Internet dead AGAIN!!! on Death Of The Global Information Infrastructure · · Score: 0, Flamebait

  11. Simple. Can you do the work? on Making the Jump From Sysadmin to Network Administrator? · · Score: 1

    Fudge your resume. Don't lie outright, just play with titles, percentages, and add on a couple of skills. Ok, so maybe that is outright lying. ITs a matter of degree.

  12. My point was on RadioShack Stops Being Nosy · · Score: 2

    If they hadnt tried to weasel out personal information out of me, i probably would have happily filled out a subscription card or something. AS it is, i woulnt give them my real name if my life depended on it. Fuck them, i dont like pushy people being nosy about stuff thats none of their busisness.

  13. Awwwwww. on RadioShack Stops Being Nosy · · Score: 3, Funny

    But I had fun introducing myself as Richard Nixon With a phone number of (123)456-7890.
    I had even more fun when they argued with me.

    It's too bad that they started being pains in the asses about this. I really wanted to get their catalog, but I'll be damned if I'll give them a name and address.

  14. Look at it this way. on University of Twente NOC Fire Arson · · Score: 1, Troll

  24. Re:Wow. on Research Promises Full-Spectrum Solar Cell · · Score: 2

    ok, that makes sense, but in the past, as i understand it, to get a decent amount of power out of solar cells, youd have to plate over, say austrailia. Now you just have to plate over, half of austraila. What the hell, hats a major improvement.

  25. Wow. on Research Promises Full-Spectrum Solar Cell · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Better than 70% efficency, versus 25% for current solar cells. Ok, now im willing to accept solar might be feasable.
