  1. Re:Insomnia tonight on Half-Life 2 Finally Activated · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Strange, the Steam Status says their using less then half their available bandwidth. Maybe its just a really big download?

  2. Re:What about premium service? on Half-Life 2 Finally Activated · · Score: 1

    Who said anything about an advanced release date? The more expensive packages just come with more bonus content. Half Life 1 Source, DOD Source, etc.

  3. Re:And I thought... on Zero Gravity Flights for the Rest of Us · · Score: 1

    My only hitch in believing this is that I seriously doubt NASA would allow itself to be involved in any way with a porn shoot. And that they would lend/rent out a useful, widely known scientific platform for that purpose.

  4. Re:NASA is a big fat waste of tax money on Blogging a Ride on the 'Vomit Comet' · · Score: 1

    Your just jealous.
    Besides, this isn't a space flight.
    Its a KC-135. The flight itself will cost fuel and regular aircraft maintenance. Nothing more expensive then any commercial airliner.

  5. Re:How do they reduce gravity? on Blogging a Ride on the 'Vomit Comet' · · Score: 1

    Simple
    They fly it up to a proper altitude,
    then initiate a controlled stall that drops the plane pretty vertical for 30 seconds to a minute if I remember correctly. They don't reduce gravity, they just cancel it out by moving everything downwards real fast.

  6. 1984... on China Plans Surveillance System for Internet Cafes · · Score: 1

    I wonder if cafe owners begin to temporarily disable surveillance for trusted customers, but not for too long so it appears as only a glitch.

  7. Re:PHP Web Hosting on Making an Independent Web Site? · · Score: 1

    Its not unlimited, its unmetered. This means you only get 5 Gig, but you can use as much per second as you want. When using my shell I've downloaded DivX movies at 2 MBPs. You get 125 MB, plus more if you give them a reason why you need it, and the bandwith limits aren't hard-coded. If you run over 5 gigs your site isn't shut off, the admin just sends you an email and decides whether or not to charge you for it.
