  1. Use of light on the molecular level.. on Nanotechnology Harnesses the Power of Light · · Score: 1

    And plants have been doing it for millennia...

  2. The old way.. on Distributed Computing World Climate Simulation · · Score: 1

    Or you could just look up what the weather will be like on a given date in 2050 in the Old Farmer's Almanac. They seem to have a better handle on things than the million bucks worth of equipment the local weather guy has. All you hafta do is remember that peepers peep through ice thrice.

  3. I wish I had a 56k connection on Stopping The 56K Hate · · Score: 1

    I'm one of many paying for a 56k connection and actually getting speeds of about 24k. This does get upsetting as a true geek who could put a better connection to good use, especially when there's idiots out there with DSL who still have Code Red and don't know it. Life's not fair.

    ASCII a stupid question, get a stupid ANSI.

  4. Re: Correction on Experiment Shows Neutrinos Have Mass · · Score: 1

    I guess it would be Sirius' companion star that would supernova. I'm not sure how much damage it would do to us, but we could get a nice tan from it.

  5. Re:Were screwed I think on Experiment Shows Neutrinos Have Mass · · Score: 1

    Based on the reaction that produces neutrinos, I'm not surprized at all that they have mass. Whether or not the universe is closed, we're screwed anyway. There are tons of things that will destroy us before we have to worry about the universe crunching or expanding forever. For example, if the sun ceases to make neutrinos, if Sirius supernovas, or if indeed the future of Linux lies in the hands of CowboyNeal. -bq

  6. CD Sales on Napster Spurs CD Sales; Gets Sued Again Anyway · · Score: 1

    I've purchased a lot more CDs since I began using Napster...blank ones, that is.

  7. Re:MUD television show? on "The Sims" To Have Its Own TV Series? · · Score: 1

    I can just picture a bunch of us geeks watching every time as if it were a football game, "No! You idiot!"

  8. Re:Taco == misogynist on "The Sims" To Have Its Own TV Series? · · Score: 1

    I think we're forgetting something: these aren't women--they're 1's and 0's! It's like calling up a disaster in Sim City or killing the Lemmings for fun. The point of the game is to entertain, and this is pretty entertaining stuff.
