  1. Re:bacteria.. on Galileo's Final Blaze of Glory · · Score: 1

    That's not how i heard it :)

    It has enough mass to ignite, just not enough to self-ignite. So it will burn just fine if we can find a way to heat it up.

  2. Re:bah on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome not a Disability · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be too modern already? I think we need something more like beating animals you hunt with a stick, or something like that. Not an interface I'd like much :)

  3. Re:This is good news... on Digital Rights Management Operating System · · Score: 3, Insightful

    wasn't there some law proposal that would make all OSes that don't support this (digital rights management) illegal though?

    nice way to force people into licensing your patent

  4. failure before it starts? on DVD Player Chipsets To Support Windows Media Files · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At least with the current standard it takes a while to convert movies to divx, i don't think they'd really like a standard that only requires you to get past the encryption (which has to be weak, or the players would get very expensive).

    So this is probably only good for playing your pirate copies of movies on your TV.

  5. Re:How I back up a File server of 320 Gigabytes on Affordable Home Backups for 10-100G Systems? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't sound like such a good idea to me, if the files get corrupted like you had before, you (on average) only have 30 minutes to find out and restore, same for files you delete by accident, effectively you just got yourself a delayed raid mirror.

  6. Re:Better art? on The History Of FreeCiv · · Score: 1

    If you are displaying pictures anyway (which they do) putting better images in will not slow it down, and better looking games do sell better, so i guess it matters to some people. I think game play is more important, but they did that part first, so they're doing things in the right order :)

  7. Re:this has to be strategic on British Telecom's Hyperlink Claims To Reach U.S. Court · · Score: 1

    And just what would be the use of of trying to keep a US patent closer to home? they're not valid outside the USA

  8. Re:Nasa funds Low? on [Your Name Here] Goes To Mars · · Score: 1

    probably not, it just costs them the CDs, as far as i can see the service is free.
