  1. Re:Guess what's in space? Nothing! on Buzz Advocates Lagrange Point Spaceport · · Score: 1

    Moon dust makes for some nice concrete mix, if I remember correctly.

    If you can find that (perhaps mythical) Moon water (in ice), you can separate it into H & O for fuel & breathing. Still want for some Nitrogen, but that may be extractable from moon dust, depending on what it is (I've no idea).

    Just because it's not easy doesn't mean it's not doable.

  2. Re:Don't ban the Matrix! on Slashback: Matrix, Terminology, Topology · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You know, this has been modded as 'funny,' but I think 'insightful' would've been more accurate, sadly. :(

  3. multiplayer gaming on Mame on the Nokia N-Gage · · Score: 1

    FPS deathmatch? Even better, now thanks to MAME - multiplayer Mario Brothers. Or better yet, Karate Champ. ("Full Point!") Awww yeahhh...

  4. Re:Yeah ... and? on Mame on the Nokia N-Gage · · Score: 4, Informative

    Did you miss the article? Thanks to this port of MAME, there are now many good games for N-Gage! :)

    Besides, what games for a dinky little screen like the N-Gage's would anyone want other than Tetris? Well, maybe Pac-Man.

    I find it amusing the 'screenshots' on this project page aren't even FROM an N-Gage.

  5. my list: on The Most Incorrect Assumptions In Computing? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    1) Tablet PCs are the wave of the future!

    2) Blogs will amount to nothing.

    3) The MHz Myth

  6. MS behind this? nah.. on Gentoo rsync Server Compromised [updated] · · Score: 1

    ...it's Major League Baseball. Hey, look, it's Mark McGwire! Hit us some zingers, Mark! :)

  7. the REAL problem with Mars... on Why Mars May Be Difficult · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...is those Martian "evil-doers" that keep shooting down our spacecraft. It's time to assemble another Coalition of the Willing(tm)!

  8. Clean Shaven Beaver on Linux 2.6.0-test11 Kernel Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now _that's_ a smooth name that just rolls off the tongue... :)

  9. programs programmed in foreign languages on Internationalized Domain Names Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    > Think outsourcing to india is so great? Wait til your next batch of outsourced code cannot be read, because it's not in english anymore!

    You've obviously never seen a program coded in Perl. *cringe*

  10. easy loophole on MPAA Close to Another "Stealth Victory" in Ohio · · Score: 1

    I shall simply relabel the 'Record' button on my camcorder to say 'Up Yours.' :)

    'No, Your Honour, I did not hit the "Record" button on my camcorder.'

  11. Re:deeply dissapointed on US House, Senate Agree on Anti-Spam Bill · · Score: 1

    You're soft on crime. I was hoping for immolation & castration options. :(

  12. Re:STEWIE!!! on Fox Considering a Return of "Family Guy" · · Score: 1

    Hey, Stewie's not evil. He's just ... differently motivated!

    I'd definitely go for a Stewie show. The rest of the characters are pretty much a waste of time except as subjects for Stewie's plots. They _really_ need to concentrate more on Stewie this time around.

    "Yes, I _would_ like some ice cream. But NO SPRINKLES! For every sprinkle I find ... I SHALL KILL YOU!"

  13. that's all well and good, but... on DragonFly At DragonFly 1.0-CURRENT · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Does it stay crunchy in milk?

  14. Re:It's right at the bottom of the page on Airspeed Velocity Of An Unladen Swallow · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, green! *AHHHHHH!*

    You know, the best thing about this article is that it's uncontaminated by cheese.

  15. Re:WordStar? on AMD Predicts End of 32-bit Processors · · Score: 1

    Please to note the smiley face after that. It was a joke. I had a //e, myself, and eventually upgraded it with a 512K RAM card - it was crazy fast after I loaded the floppy image (all, what, 142K of it?) into RAM. Fun times...

  16. Re:WordStar? on AMD Predicts End of 32-bit Processors · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh, you've got one of them newfangled //e's, then, not a ][.

    And what's an 80 col card? :)

  17. WordStar? on AMD Predicts End of 32-bit Processors · · Score: 1

    You punk - you should stick with native Apple ][ word processors, like Magic Windows ][.

    Punk.

    Oh yeah, get rid of all that extra RAM - you don't need anything more than 48K! :)

  18. shut up, you on Sun Announces Linux Deal With Chinese Government · · Score: 1

  19. Super-G FaceOff! on Broadcom Accuses Atheros Of WiFi Pollution · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Okay, so what happens when two Super-G networks are within interference distance of each other? Do they both drop down to 54Mbps speed, or what?

  20. Kickboxing on What's the Worst Job Posting You've Seen? · · Score: 1

    It's the sport of the future! (and always will be)

  21. mmm..Project Crossbow, at last! on SpaceDev Auctioning Microsatellite Mission On Ebay · · Score: 1

    Now all I gotta do is make that mirror, and win the auction, and I'm all set! Schweet.
