  7. Re:Pull the other one. on Broadband's Unintended Consequences · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm downloading at 6.5k/sec. I hate it when ISPs say speeds up to 768k

    Thats 6.5KBps over a 768kbps line, so in reality, you're downloading at about 65kbps, and the max you could hit will probably be 76.8-80KBps.

    Counter-Strike used to be great, and while it continues to provide others with hours of entertainment, I found Day of Defeat to be much, much more enjoyable. If you would like it, its availible here.

    Right, lets mod me a troll because I bring up an important problem with the idea.

  24. Control? on Mining Metals Using Plants and Trees? · · Score: 0, Troll

    How do we control these plants? What happens if they get into the wild, which would eventually happen due to human error. I cant even imagine the impact these plants would have on our ecosystem. On the other hand, can we genetically engineer some plants to repair our ozone layer quicker? Has anyone ever thought of that?
