Let's hope any martians that real astronauts might encounter are more like polar bears than mormons.
Two ballooners are going to attempt to get to 132,000 feet in a helium balloon named QinetiQ1. They are going to do this wearing spacesuits and sit in what looks like armchairs in an open gondola
Why does this story sound eerily like an acid trip?
Stoner 1: "And then we went up really really high in an air balloon called the QinetiQ1"
Stoner 2: "And also we were wearing these really really shiny spacesuits man."
Stoner 1: "And we could see everybody and they were like these really really tiny ants..."
Stoner 2: "And also we could, like, read their thoughts... and see time as really really pretty colors"
I just pray that the "reentry" doesn't find them emerging from a cloud on a couch in front of MTV at 3am in the morning.
80GB is not more than enough (it is nice though)

80 Gig MP3 Player
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
I don't know who has anywhere near enough MP3 music to need an 80G drive
While this undoubtably has the capacity to fit a moderate (300 - 500) CD collection a few times over I'm sure the extra capacity would easily be put to good use.
I imagine you'd even fill it with MP3's of CD's you didn't particularly like just to accomodate things like parties/entertaining etc. (afterall that is the point of a jukebox)
Then there's the possibilty of burning at much higher bit rates etc.
the car will also take pictures when it determines the atmosphere inside is a happy one
POSSIBLE SCENARIO:
Teenage guy borrows the car from his parents to pick up his girlfriend. Later that night the atmosphere inside the car is a happy one. Car takes photos and faxes them to the parents.

Is it possible that the introduction of a smart card for national ID is so that they can store information to be used for profiling?
I know that's a little bit knee-jerk conspiracy theory sounding, but why else the need for the smart card... what can't the driver's licence / social security card do that facillitates the need for the extra card?
Looking at the census list of religions it would seem just about every permutation of praise gets a mention...
So where is Time Cube? It's a perfectly valid religious choice?
I thought four corner truth was ineffable. Could it be that Census is just another Evil Word Institution trying to suppress Gene Ray's beautious vision...
Let's all pull together and make time cube number 900 on the list come the next census

I use Microsoft Outlook for both my personal and office email. I thought they were very helpful during this whole Code Red thing. Microsoft called and left a message on my answering machine detailing how I could fix my DSL modem and patch my computer so that I would not be infected. They also called back to see if I had received their message and if I needed any help. I've been very happy with Microsoft and was surprised by their customer support.
Anyway, point is.. I think they do a great job. Keep up the good work Microsoft.

Sure maybe the mining companies have a lot of money, but consider this for a moment:
Just how are ordinary decent tree-hugging nature-loving separitist activists like myself expected to get up to the moon to protest?
And speaking of unfair, what is there to chain ourselves to up there?
And, also, how are we going to play Woodie Guthrie and smoke Mother Nature's loving green herb without atmosphere.
TOTALLY UNFAIR!
enough so that you weigh almost 1% less there
Here's a little food for thought though:
"Even a fat bastard on the moon still looks like a fat bastard"

Hmm DNA based computers hey...
I can see it now:
A couple of geeks at a network game session comparing their hardware. And then one of them yells out "You reckon that's good! Check out this puppy!"
And then his PC is ACTUALLY a puppy but with like a USB port and stuff poking out all over it.
I don't know why, but that would be awesome!
:)
So if the XBOX is just a PC what are the chances of hacking it so it can use bleem to play playstation (PSX) games.

It'd be fun to see microsoft embroiled in a copyright dispute from the other side

The guy is essentially open sourcing his thesis topic looking for information on why open sourcing is bad!

Can you imagine it:
*All the locks on the car doors go down!
*The temperature gradually rises cooking the inhabitants!
*Celine Dion comes on over the stereo!!!
And look at the picture...
It's Herbie the HATE bug!
:)
..."Barney The Dinosaur" toy but with an engine and wheels?
My GOD! It takes pictures inside the car when the atmosphere is a "happy one"?!
If my family owned one of these cars when I was growing up, it would've been lucky to take a picture once a year (specially on family holidays).

These speakers would be awesome for a party on the beach...
A couple of beers on the inflatable couch set and music cranking out of the inflatable speakers (running of the car battery I suppose).
They are just made for this sort of a scenario.
I'm sure people wouldn't mind a slight trade off in sound production given there practicality.
