  1. Re:What about 2001? on Physics in the Movies · · Score: 2
  2. Re:A favorite plot device of mine on Physics in the Movies · · Score: 2

    Yeah? What would you like to happen? Have his head explode, like in Outland or Total Recall? That is not what happens when people are subjected to vacuum.

  3. Re:Star Wars Death Star Physics on Physics in the Movies · · Score: 2

    "A nasty gang of insensitive aliens arrive in an intra galactic recreational vehicle (RV) a quarter the mass of the moon and proceed to systematically trash Earth."

  4. Re:Are 500kph trains safe? on First Maglev Installation Going Up · · Score: 2

    And if you park a car on a runway - the plane will be going much slower than 500 kmph, but there will be a nice explosion. If the car is to much for you, just send some birds into the jet engines.

  5. Re:Only 40mph? on First Maglev Installation Going Up · · Score: 2

    The California Maglev Project as well as the Pennsylvania High Speed Maglev Project are based on the Transrapid, here is their page on all the projects in North America (warning: this is the URL to a frame, it will immediatly try to load the homepage after loading; just hit that STOP button)

  6. Re:PCs only might cost more due to being useful on Macs Are Cheaper than PCs · · Score: 2

    So instead of the cheap stuff that (you say) won't work on Macs, they buy more expensive stuff that does work on Macs (like almost all digital cameras, or a nice iPod) - and still have a lower TCO.

  7. Re:PC's very much cheaper for Macs on Macs Are Cheaper than PCs · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Did you have an accident, or have you always been that stupid?

  8. Re:Wouldn't work in most interesting cases though on Using Cellular Traffic to Monitor Traffic Jams · · Score: 2

    And you have the aerial inside a closed car?

    Hello! GPS doesn't work inside buildings and cars.

  10. Re:I see a lot of talk about CO on Climate Change Linked to Sun's Magnetic Field · · Score: 2
    Congrats PG, you got them again.

    Just the "fact" that 1 ton of coal produces about 3 kg CO2 instead of about 3 tons is great - and nobody noticed.

    I don't get it

    Yeah, that's obvious. You haven't actually read the (very short) review, hunh? BTW, I have the sig for some time now, it's not there because of you in particular.

    Well, maybe Apple solution just works better than the PC solution?

  14. Re:I'd be more worried about on Current State of the International IT Market? · · Score: 2

    Oh, come on. Every state in the US has at east one law that is much weirder than those. E.g. unwed women may not go parachuting on sundays in Florida.

  15. Re:Safety? on Fuel Cell Car Goes Cross-Country · · Score: 2

    Hrmm. Most motorists must have drank methanol.

  16. Re:Speaking of who needs a clue... on Apple Offers eMacs To All · · Score: 2
    That onboard horseshit is even more dated than the GeForce2, and was considered damn slow when it came out. If you have any data to support your view, feel free.

    And the G4 has the same size L2 as the Celeron.

  17. He gets it wrong from the headline on on A Building Material 12 Times Stronger Than Steel · · Score: 3, Insightful
    "The revolutionary idea is not the material used to make the form, but the structural design itself."

    It's a new building structure, not a new building material. It may not even be a truely new structure at that, at least similar designs have been used for qite some time.

    Okay. Let's start with the fact that ca. 4400 h/yr is pitch dark night...

    Ahh, so the pension plans of steel magnates have nothing to do with it?

    Sounds like this improvement isn't much use outside the US.

  23. Re:The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak on DARPA Project Babylon: Universal Translator · · Score: 2

    Stories like that are not to far off, the Google translation from English to German will translate "router" as "Fräser", which comes from the "one that routs, especially a machine tool that mills out the surface of metal or wood" meaning of router. Which makes translations of texts about networking rather unintelligible, esp. when you never heard of that meaning of "router".

  24. Re:Less demand for viruses, not less feasable... on "Experts" Say Macs Are Not Safer Than PCs · · Score: 2
    Ah, you mean Win3.1 viruses would always work on Win95, and Win95 viruses would do on NT and 98, and those for 98 would work on XP ...

    Sure, the reason why somebody wrote Code Red was that there are so many IIS Servers. But why is it still around? Because of inherent vulnarabilities. Sure, there is a fix. But some people still haven't used it.
