  1. Re:Perfect for 64bit computing. on The Arrival of Very Small Memory · · Score: 1

    yeah, like how big an opcode is.

  2. Re:This is what the government wants!!!! on Brain Controlled Tightrope Video Game Shown · · Score: 1

    she was in a couple episodes actually. but as a much smaller part...La Forge would say "Lefler, can you take care of such and such" and Ashley Judd would turn around and do the Star Trek nod given by non speaking characters and walk off.

    ahh...that was before she was spoiled by life and was so much more innocent...now she is a late 30's hotty that would want to Fuck, but not get in any serious relationship with.

  3. Re:I'm just curious on Debunking the Trillion-Dollar Space Myth · · Score: 1

    yeah...well how about this...the federal government makes all hospitals non-profits, and then comes up with a nice federal health plan that must be used by a state if that state wants any healthcare subsidy?

    the waste in the healthcare system her in the US is atrocious. 50 or so Million dollar CEOs providing the same crappy service....50 companies with 50 paper trails, 50 sets of employees places there just to obstruct the health care system and minimize claims.

    yeah...I would say that there is a lot of money in that waste that can be put to use for health care.

  4. Re:Still chump change on Microsoft To Be Fined E500M By European Union? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    so, if you make 100K per year, you will have no problem giving me a grand right? I mean, it is chump change compared to what you make annually.

  5. Re:Not to mention... on Microsoft's Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    yeah...SP2 will have an annoying pop up balloon that pops up 50 times advertising the store.

  6. This is what the government wants!!!! on Brain Controlled Tightrope Video Game Shown · · Score: 5, Funny

    this will train out brain waves to all be the same so they can control us with better accuracy and reliability!!!!

    DON'T BUY IT!!!!!!

  7. Actualy, the Under staff of the FCC boardrated it on FCC to Regulate 'Profane' Speech · · Score: 1

    this week the FCC board themselves ruled on it and ruled it and bad.

  8. Re:I agree on TiVo Will Die · · Score: 1

    oh...so you can hook it up to your Satellite feed?

    no? DOH!!!!

  9. Re:Different Market on MSFTs "iPod Killer" Readied for Europe · · Score: 1

    excuse me, but the words, best and popular are part of 2 separate clauses.

    the iPod can be the best and most popular with out being the best because it is most popular ;-)

  10. Re:Different Market on MSFTs "iPod Killer" Readied for Europe · · Score: 1

    guess what...your right...tehy don't have to...that is called capitalism..people pay for what they want...if you want the best, most popular HDD MP3 player on the market, then you pay for the iPod...and 70% of those people who what HDD players choose the iPod.

  11. Re:Different Market on MSFTs "iPod Killer" Readied for Europe · · Score: 1

    excuse me...but the comment was "EXPENSIVE AS HELL" or something along those lines.

    my comment has dispelled such a claim quite sufficiently.

    you are looking into features, that has nothing to do with the expense of an item.

    and as I can see, you put Maximum storage above interface design, easy of use and form factor. so have fun with your clunky music player.

  12. Re:Lie to panes into the wood chain sennas on NASA Develops Tech To Hear Words Not Yet Spoken · · Score: 1

    your not very smart...this is not a mind reading chip, it reads the impulses sent to your toung and vocal chords...that happens whether you talk with your mouth or not when you think verbally.

  13. Re:Different Market on MSFTs "iPod Killer" Readied for Europe · · Score: 3, Insightful

    really?

    299 for an iPod...the bottom of the market is 250 for HDD players...that is not expensive at all, for the market.....

    now, you might think that all HDD players are expensive for what they do, but that is the market price point, so live with it.

  14. Re:How do you figure? on MSFTs "iPod Killer" Readied for Europe · · Score: 1

    299

    for small HDD Music players.....that is relatively inexpensive since that is a price is near the bottom of the price for the HDD player market.

  15. hook this up with the NASA technolgy on Trekkie Communicators Now a Reality · · Score: 1

    and you have instal communication to people by just thinking about calling them.

  16. Re:Benefit for Stephen Hawking? on NASA Develops Tech To Hear Words Not Yet Spoken · · Score: 1

    don't forget his Troi action as well!!!

    see was hot back then :-)...I love the episode where the ambassador uses her as a receptacle for his bad thoughts...that is the episode that she wore a very sheer night gown when she answered her door...damn nice tities...to bad she got breast cancer.

  17. Re:Benefit for Stephen Hawking? on NASA Develops Tech To Hear Words Not Yet Spoken · · Score: 1

    perhaps, but this might lead to a way to detect words before they are sent along the nerve pathways...if we can track them back and make sense of them, the resulting tech would be of immense use to him.

  18. Re:No real difference on NASA Develops Tech To Hear Words Not Yet Spoken · · Score: 2

    what NASA is saying is that the meer act of thinking in words sends signals to your vocal chords and toung because the pathway is so hardwired that it just sends it even if you are not mumbling or moving your lips.

  19. Re:Lie to panes into the wood chain sennas on NASA Develops Tech To Hear Words Not Yet Spoken · · Score: 1

    you don't need to move your lips...just the act of thinking to yourself is sufficient to send signals to your toung and vocal cords.

    then we kidnap a terrorist, implant a chip that does this in him, and we can read his thoughts. we then release him and he goes about his business.

  20. Steven Hawking has got to be excited on NASA Develops Tech To Hear Words Not Yet Spoken · · Score: 1

    this will mean that after his last bit of motor operations cease, he will still be able to communicate..in-fact, he could give extemporaneous lectures again and even comment on conversations rather than the method he uses now of constructing sentences by selecting words for a computer to speak.

  21. Re:Why not just use Hydrogen? on Lockheed's High Altitude Airship · · Score: 1

    apparently, you did not know that when a hydrogen container is ruptured, hydrogen is so light that it can escape faster than the time it takes for combustion to start.

  22. why not PDF? on Project Gutenberg 2 Raises Some Hackles · · Score: 1

    at least that is royalty free.

  23. why not focus on exploiting the resources of the on Melting Europa · · Score: 0

    solar system first...then while we are heading out to the asteroid belt, and collecting minerals, we can send a science ship to all the interesting places in the solar system.

    at least then we would have economically made the missions worth while during the development of the necessary tech.

  24. umm...they use those flp open communicators on Star Trek's Design Influence On Palm, New Tech · · Score: 1

    in enterprise, so it is more like 100 years ;-)

  25. Re:A lot of astronomers don't want to count Pluto on The Sun's 10th Planet... Sedna? · · Score: 1

    I think you would have to add in that it must be a spheroid.

    asteroids are for the most part not spheroids.
