  1. Re:Shades of Macross Plus on Morphing Plane Wings for Efficient Flights · · Score: 1

    Damn! Somebody beat me to this comment!

    Though this is probably the only comment I've seen so far of what such a wing might look like. Since if anyone that actually read the article would have found the YF-21's morphing wings/rudder/tail to be the more accurate image than the other examples presented.

  2. I could swear... on Banryu, Robot Or Dragon? · · Score: 1

    ...I saw one of its parents in a Godzilla movie.

  3. Re:As Do Some Other Old Time Applications on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Virtual Desktop Pager · · Score: 1

    A Bad Attempt(tm) at being funny.

  4. Re:Jet-powered Nausicaa Glider Project on Jet-powered Nausicaa Glider Project · · Score: 1

    As long as it can play ogg's I don't care if it can play mp3's or not (unless I can only find the soundtrack as mp3's.) What I want to know is it will be shipped as preassembled or as a kit.

  5. Re:LCARS on Unusual Linux Desktops? · · Score: 1

    The thing about most LCARS themes is that they just don't look or feel that good on the desktop. Probably because they are only themes and not really an environment. Maybe once someone decides to comeout with a firewire keyboard that is really just a touch screen it might work out better ;)

  6. Re:Not necessarily Linux only on Unusual Linux Desktops? · · Score: 1

    If you wanna see some odd attempts at user interfaces, I urge you to check out some of the others at http://www.plig.org/xwinman/ (yes the site still exists and is actually fairly recent).

    OH WOW! I haven't been to that site in AGE! It was one of my most visited sites in my early days of using Linux. I'm sure glad that it's still around and up to date.
  7. Re:Here's a direct link to the Artima articles... on How C# Was Made · · Score: 1

    Well, I know what I'm going to be modding down once I get my Mod Points.

  8. Re:Here's a direct link to the Artima articles... on How C# Was Made · · Score: 1

    Which is what I was about to post as well. It just
    took me too long to get find damn it!

  9. Re:Alarmists... on Earth Growing Due to Melting Glaciers · · Score: 1

    (And you cannot blame that on Bush either, greenies)

    Damn it! I could have sworn he was responsible for
    it too!!! Now I'll have to find something else to
    blame him for!

  10. Re:History on Who Needs Case-Sensitivity in Java? · · Score: 1

    For a and A it should be eh, eh?


    BAD! BAD AC! NO COOKIE!
  11. Re:Character unification on Who Needs Case-Sensitivity in Java? · · Score: 1

    You need more than case-sensitivity to achieve that without concern for character sets. For example, Spanish has a double-ell character ("ll"), which shouldn't be mistaken for the two ells in the classic English "Hello, world".

    A little of topic but the "ll" and "ch" letters/characters were apparently removed from the language in spain as I recall. Saw it on the Spanish News a few months back.
  12. Re:This is great and all... on Your Own Mecha · · Score: 1

    if it is, tehn cool! just don't let them near my house so that my patlabor tapes don't get drestroyed in an attempted arrest :)

  13. Re:Pentium V on Will Intel Ship an x86-64bit Chip This Year? · · Score: 1

    On the x86-64 chips, entering 64-bit mode is a 2 step process. With the first step being enabling 32-bit protected mode first before enabling 64-bit mode.

  14. Re:Go Trinitron on Cross-Platform Video Capture Cards And TV Tuners? · · Score: 1

    You don't need Firewire to capture video.

  15. Re:Sigh on AI Sues for Its Life in Mock Trial · · Score: 1

    Nah, been done to death already.

  16. Re:hmm on Bill Gates: Windows Patched Faster than Linux · · Score: 1

    Heh! Why wait 20 years when you can start now. Get a leg on the rest of us :)

  17. It's probably... on Bill Gates: Windows Patched Faster than Linux · · Score: 1

    ...Bill's machine that gets patched that quickly.

  18. Sweet... on Slashback: Benchmarks, Sobig, Blob · · Score: 1
    ...more code to play with.

    *rummages through the files.*

  19. Re:NERV on Suggestions for Unique Names for a Server Room? · · Score: 1

    I was wondering how long before someone mentioned that one :) Since we just entered the Anime Category why not name it GENOM with server names such as Quincy, Largo, etc. or call it Nerima with server names liek Ranma, Akane, Ryoga, etc. :)

  20. Re:Multia _NOT_ ick.. on Free Multias (Pay Shipping Only) · · Score: 1

    i have one of these at home. yes, it does run a bit hot, but thats fine. have had no problems with redhat other than the documented bug with the installation. aside form that, every time i log on to my pentium i have it bring up a remote X session to it, just need to change the wm thats running on it now. have yet to figure out how much video ram the thing has though.
