  1. Re:Exactly on Snakes on The Net Fail to Put Butts in the Seats · · Score: 1

    then you'd get bashed by EQ players who thinks druids are for wussies

  2. Re:Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators on Voyager 1 Passes 100 AU from the Sun · · Score: 1

    reasons..

    1) cost
    2) insulation (from radiation/heat)
    and chiefly 3) NIMBY crowd and ecolo-weenies

    no that's wrong. the posit is for an INFINITE number of monkeys typing for infinity. 1000 isn't enough

  4. Re:Very Light Jets - Air Taxi on Charter Flight Websites / Services? · · Score: 1

    which one? the prices i've seen on the various sites (honda, eclipse, diamond, embraer) were all higher than that.

  5. Re:Very Light Jets - Air Taxi on Charter Flight Websites / Services? · · Score: 1

    did you price a new VLJ? starts at 1.2$mil, nice for a company that needs a private jet, way too expensive for anyone "middle class"

  9. Re:And look here: on 2.5Gb/s Internet For French Homes · · Score: 1

    i dont know about you, but i get 6mbps in canada MAX

    a side note about GPON. the headline is a bit misleading. the 2.5gb/s is shared between multiple home (32 according to this spec i have) so it's not a full 2.5gb/s. not that it really matters, but just for the sake of correctness

  10. Re:Too Much Serious Violence on Prey Review · · Score: 1

    those two attacks were cheats actually. the donkey comes down from the top and bounces down (it's about 200 feet wide) "erasing" the terrain and bouncing the worms around.

    the nuclear strike makes the world sink a little at a time, so the worms drown

  11. Re:Too Much Serious Violence on Prey Review · · Score: 1

    i don't know about that. the donkey was pretty damn funny too. and the nuclear strike with the US anthem

  12. Re:Accessibility is better than Flash on Google Lauded for Accessible Search · · Score: 1

    those customers are mostly tv show producers (that's one of our primary sector) with some experience from previous shows. so yes they do ask for flash, or they ask for things that can't be done (not with any kind of ease) without flash.

    we also do interactive TV, and the box for that (provided by scientific atlanta) doesn't accept anything BUT flash and xml

  13. Re:Accessibility is better than Flash on Google Lauded for Accessible Search · · Score: 1

    the company i work for design websites.

    most customers dont even consider a site without flash a web site. and they laugh when you bring up accessibiity.
    they contaminated the developpers too

  18. Re:Nail on the head. on ABC Wants DVR Fast Forwarding Disabled · · Score: 1

    pepsi

    a few years ago, on a school trip (ok, lots of years ago), i had a mountain dew in my lunch. i dropped the thing and it turned into a thick mass of vomit-looking goo.

    lets say, i haven't drank a mountain dew since then (and not before, since i had never heard of it)

  19. Re:Forced password expirations on FBI Password Database Compromised by Consultant · · Score: 1

    once a year sounds like a good timeout,

    but simply enforcing 2 symbols and 2 numbers you could end up with
    myparty?!21
    myparty!?12

    rather i'd suggest forbidding more than a certain percentage of common word stems between passwords

    my party ?! 21

    you'd have "my" and "party" in common, 50% common stems and 63% of total caracters in stems, so i'd reject it

    and run a cracking program on them.

    i still have that CD, i lost the keygen ages ago of course, but the soundtrack alone is well worth keeping the cd for

  22. Re:Who on earth clicks on ads? Do you? on Google Launches Cost Per Action AdSense · · Score: 1

    i do click on ads sometimes, usually on google's own search page though.

    when im looking to buy something, and google pops up a relevant ad for what im looking to buy. why would i not look at it?

    and these apparently. though definately not cheap (~700$ here). their fur is like a rabbit, it's not 100% allergen free (no fur is) but it's very low, many people i know that are allergic to cats don't have a reaction to the rexes
