  1. Now I'm really scared of flying on Scramjet Test Successful · · Score: 1

    From the article

    The prototype, which resembles a gothic spire and measures just 4 inches in diameter, was destroyed when it punched through a series of steel plates designed to halt the flight.

    When and if they scale it up, I hope this part of the system is re-designed.

  2. Interesting switch on Garriott's New Project Cooking Along · · Score: 1

    Not the most profound observation, but it is interesting that a Korean company is switching to the US rather than vice-versa

  3. Re:Well... on First and Last Issue of Infinite Matrix · · Score: 1

    Yes, its very poor, especially when you consider that the 1st issue really should be the belter where you run the risk of using all your best stuff up.

  4. Great feature, but. . . on The D Programming Language · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I like the fact that you can embedd code in html and still compile it

    Apparently this means "The code and the documentation for it can be maintained simultaneously, with no duplication of effort"

    Unfortunately until its "the documentation is automatically created and maintened with no effort" it still won't prevent the junk I'm often buried in

  5. From the support desk on PDF Virus Spotted · · Score: 3, Funny

    Dear users,
    Please ignore anything we may have said about 'Safe file attachments'. In fact, do not open any of your e-mails, ever again, and, to be safe, just stay in bed.
    Thanks

  6. Woohoo on RoboCup 2001 Underway · · Score: 1

    Great, a whole arena full of generic wedge or box shaped bots completely failing to be entertaining.

  7. Re:Brain clearly not properly awake yet on Multitasking Harmful To Productivity · · Score: 1

    No problem blokey
    Probably my fault for not being that funny
    Will Try harder

  8. Re:Not convinced on Multitasking Harmful To Productivity · · Score: 1

    that's why I typed it
    (sheesh, try and make a joke round here)

  9. Not convinced on Multitasking Harmful To Productivity · · Score: 1

    IMVVVVVHO this is denying the abilities of the human mind to do several things at once. Here I am typoing thos message whilst simultateously picking my nose and wondering what is for breakfast. Easy

  10. wip-wop-CHCCHHRRR on The Sound of Safety? · · Score: 1

    FWIW, this, or a very similar system has also been tested for use on emergency vehicles here in the UK.
    With normal sirens its hard to sense the direction, so they've added a burst of white noise.
    The new sirens emit a wip-wop-CHCCHHRRR sound and (Having herd one) I can confirm it works very well.

  11. Re:Total misreading of the article on Stop Worrying About Asteroids · · Score: 1

    It's only a hang up 'cos us Brits occaisionally get bored of talking about the weather and drinking tea old boy.
