  1. Re:500?? 500???????!!!? on AgroWaste Oil Plant Starts Production · · Score: 1

    we have fewer oil reservers in the strategic oil reserve than we do in anwarr. the SOR will only last 3 months.

  2. Re:Oil on AgroWaste Oil Plant Starts Production · · Score: 1

    except that this CO2 is produced from Agricultural waste. that means that the CO2 Cycle is closed.

    they not only hold to stringent standards, but they also pick and chose based on what they believe

  4. Re:Wierd on Star Wars Episode III : Birth Of The Empire · · Score: 1

    it is all in the imagery.

    Luke wears black, he is part machine, he attacks out of anger, just because he renounced it does not mean he is not on the dark side.

  5. Re:Wierd on Star Wars Episode III : Birth Of The Empire · · Score: 1

    uh...Anny balances he force because he has 2 children Luke and Leah. Luke ends up as the representative of the dark side and Leah ends up as representative of the light side.

    hence, the balance.

  6. Re:Finally on Apple Releases iTunes SDK for Windows · · Score: 1

    yeah, because 70% market share in legal music sales on-line and 50% DAP market share and 95% HDD DAP market share are is such danger of becoming irrelevant.

  7. Re:Dakr Matter on Chandra Provides Support For Dark Energy · · Score: 2, Informative

    the Universe can expand FASTER than the speed of light. Relativity says matter and energy can not travel faster than the speed of light through space-time, but when talking about dark energy and the expansion of the universe, we are talking about the expanding of space between galaxies, so the galaxies, relative the their local space are not traveling near the speed of light, but relative to inter galactic space, they are.

  8. sweet!!! on Chandra Provides Support For Dark Energy · · Score: 1

    with the existence of dark energy, we can now work at taping the dark energy or the Zero Point Force to get infinite energy!!!

  9. Re:Incredibly common with Star Trek on UPN Renews 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    but the beauty of enterprise is that it is not as cut and dry as the other series. the Xindi are the enemy of humans but are not bad creatures, the writers make a point to show that they are just trying to protect themselves from a perceived threat, like Humans do so often.

  10. Re:This is very true on UPN Renews 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    exactly, this series, the enemy of humans are themselves easy to sympathize with. they show that there is not just good and evil, but that there is a story to every side.

    uhh... where the fuck are you?

    rural in the US means that when you look to the left and the the right you see long stretches of road with nothing on either side but farm land or cattle grazing.

    great, well that dashes my hope for seamless internet connection from my home to starbucks.

  13. Quicktime integration? on XVID 1.0 Released · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Divx and 3ivx both have nice integration into Quicktime making it available in all Quicktime based movie editing applications, does Xvid have the same? I would like to use a OSS solution

  14. QUICK on Student Uncovers US Military Secrets · · Score: 1

    do this to the Kennedy documents!!!!!!

  15. I would not mind IF on Telecom Carriers Use Deceptive Advertising · · Score: 1

    if the fees were associated with upgrades or costs incurred for providing me with service then I would not mind, BUT when they raise my rates because of a tax penalty or a cost involved in purchasing capitol, then I get pissed.

  16. Re:Quicktime? iTunes? on Pixar's Next Movie: The Incredibles · · Score: 1

    no, no deal, it is just that Quick Time is huge in hollywood (the platform, not the player).

  17. Re:This has nothing to do with Apple? on Mac Trojan Horse Disguised as Word 2004 · · Score: 1

    I have an XP box in the basement. I can mess with all the user files, and rather than MS doing it right, they just replace the system files if you mess with them.

    uhh... yeah, but see, in a multi user environment, the stupid person is the only victim, not the rest of the users, unless you are running on Windows.

    besides, he should have back ups of his Home Directory, if not he is a really big fucking moron.

    that is not the SUDO dialogue dork.

    that is the dialogue that lets you install shit and it does not give you any privileges to trash system files or other user files.

    you want to run as root? you have to LOG IN AS ROOT.

  20. Re:Good for them... on Apple Wins iTunes Interface Patent · · Score: 2, Interesting

    no they did not. the PARC crap had nothing at all in common with the Desktop metaphor.

    have you ever looked at a picture of the Alto interface? it was nothing but a white screen at the time Jobs took a gander at it for a price.

  23. Re:A future without cables and wires on FireWire Gets Ready to Go Wireless · · Score: 2, Interesting

    dude, there would not be any battery problems. these bandwidths would be used for devices like AV etc.

    the range would need to be very short like 3 feet (does the proximity really need to be that far away?) so that your neighbors' Cable signal does not leak into yours, other than that, I see perhaps devices that are servers (Cable boxes, sat boxes, Stereo receivers, CD players, DVD players, DV camcorders, computers) and devices that are clients (Speakers, TVs, computers)

    this would alleviate any cross talk issues and if you are really paranoid, you can add in a ID lock so that a device can not accidentally try to connect to your computer when you want it to connect to your TV, etc.

  24. Re:DOOM 3 - SMP Compatible? on DOOM III This Summer · · Score: 1

    does it run on a machine with 2 procs? if so, then it is compatible.

    now, if it can USE that other proc, that is a different story.
