  1. Re:AntiHydrogen atom? on Antimatter Atoms Captured · · Score: 1

    Except that deutrium, an isotope of hydrogen has one neutron.

  2. Re:I found one of them on The SEC and Fake Investment Sites · · Score: 1

    "If you put an infinite number of monkeys at typewriters, eventually one will bash out the source code for Windows."

    10 monkeys, 5 minutes.

  3. Re:Yeah on Export-level Encryption Proves Insufficient · · Score: 1

    A gun's primary purpose is to inflict severe wounds. Most people will not reap the benefits of inflicting severe wounds.

    No, a gun's primary purpose is to propell a spinning chunk of metal through a tube at high velocity. I can think of several things that I can fire a gun at that will not inflict severe flesh wounds. (ie: my computer when it crashes.) It's just that most people choose to point guns at other people.

  4. Am I reading this right? on Measuring The Distance From Earth To Moon · · Score: 1

    "This is essentially measuring the weight of gravity, and this is the only type of project that can currently do that[...]"

    Huh? since when did forces have weight

  5. And in other news... Water is wet. on Mathematical Analysis of Gnutella · · Score: 0

    "From the charts above, it becomes mind-numbingly clear that the Gnutella distributed architecture is fundamentally flawed and can have a horrific impact on any network. " Hmm... I figured that out after watching gnutella for a few min. with a bandwidth monitor.

  6. Re:here's what they're talking about on NASA Researching Antimatter Engines · · Score: 1

    The next big puzzle is to create anti*matter*.

    Antiprotons/positrons are antimatter. Remember matter is anything that has mass and takes up space (volume). Antiprotons/positrons do both of that.

  7. Re:Yes, but ... on NASA Researching Antimatter Engines · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it just be easier to find a scottish engineer?

  8. Re:antimatter manufacture implications on NASA Researching Antimatter Engines · · Score: 1

    I doubt this. To make antimatter you need energy, and where do you get it in space?

    The same place we get it (mostly indirectly) on Earth. The Sun.

  9. Re:Question for michael... on Uber-patch for Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    No, I was a student back then. How is this relevant anyway? (Remember when IE TOTALLY SUCKED?)

    Yeah, but most people remember last week pretty well.

  10. Re:The Other Star Trek References on Science Fiction into Science Fact? · · Score: 1

    "Phased Energy Rectification"

  11. Re:View Angle Problem. on Homemade Digital Picture Frames? · · Score: 1

    Aren't we forgeting something here?

    LCD's realy suck when you are not standing right
    in front of them. this means whatever you hang on the wall will look realy bad from all other angles


    No. How many times have you looked at a picture frame/picture when you're not standing right in front of it?

  12. Re:Perhaps I'm confused... on Are DVDs Software Or Films? · · Score: 1

    Isn't the data stored on a DVD a massive collection of bits?

    Well the text that makes up this webpage is a massive collection of bits, but it's not software, it's data. I think a good definition of sofware would be data that does stuff to to other data.

  13. Re:6 hours and deja-vu on Citizen/IBM To Make A Linux Watch · · Score: 1

    er...$18.00 not 18:00

  14. Re:6 hours and deja-vu on Citizen/IBM To Make A Linux Watch · · Score: 1

    First, what's the point of a watch whose battery life is measured in hours, as opposed to months?

    Months? My 18:00 Timex has been running constantly for the past 5 years

    It's called a 1/8" male-male audio cable.

  17. Finding messages on Share The Pi! · · Score: 2

    Yeah, but what's the point of finding, "First Post!", in pi if it's not first?

  18. Re:i know it's been said before, but... on DirecTV to Pursue Pirates · · Score: 1

    ...last time i checked, it has never been illegal to intercept a signal that is being delivered to your property.

    Then you've been out of the loop for 15 years! Thanks to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, it is very much illegal for you to receive a signal 'not intended for your receipt'.


    Well, If it isn't intended for me, it shouldn't be delivered to my property, should it?
