  4. Artificial sweetener^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H meat... on Lab-Grown Steak · · Score: 1

    If I'm not mistaken, there is still no artificailly created substitute for sugar that tastes exactly like sugar. Hell, even stuff refined from other natural products, like high fructose corn syrup, doesn't taste exactly like sugar. So how in the hell can they hope to make something as complex as an artificial beef roast or pork loin? I certainly don't want the fake-steak equivelant of a diet coke aftertaste.

    in Soviet Russia the meat is artificial you...

  5. Nuclear powered aircraft on Big Black Delta Mystery Solved? · · Score: 1

    In the 50's they fitted a B-36 bomber with a nuclear reactor to study the feasability of a nuclear powered aircraft. The damn thing even flew, but under the power of conventional engines... the testbed had no way of using the power the reactor generated for flight. A second plane, one that actually would be powered by the reactor and not just carrying it, was planned but never built. A quick google search yeilded this url if you want more info: http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~pettypi/elevon/baugher_us/b 036-13.html

  7. Re:American air conditioner craze on 100th Anniversary of Air Conditioning · · Score: 1

    Well, duh... since you're not from here you probably don't know that all americans are 300+ lb. sweathogs (thats probably like 18kg for you goddamn metric geeks)that struggle to breathe in temperatures over 65 degrees farenhiet. So shut up and have a goddamn twinkie.

  8. Re:Sounds like a job for a vacuum cleaner. on More on Orbital Space Debris · · Score: 1

    No one's going to go out and increase your income for you!

  11. Re:And the number one reason? on Is it Wrong to Accept an Employment Counter-Offer? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but isn't that exactly what most of us are doing right now? Do you have some other explanation of the company/employee relationship?

    I has a .sig once, but I didn't hang on tightly enough.

  12. What grounds? on ReplayTV Users Sue Hollywood · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't understand what grounds the plaintiff's are suing on. The article wasn't specific. Is it a countersuit based on Hollywood's suit or ReplayTV?

  13. Remember when... on Nanotech Products Hitting the Market · · Score: 1

    nanotechnology was called miniturization. Ahh... those were the days. I wonder when some marketing droid will decide to rename microprocessors to nanoprocessors.

  14. Re:Lower prices? Yeah, right. on Linux "is not piracy" Says Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 2

    You don't think it'll lower prices? Remember when music started coming out on CDs? They said that would lower the price of music recordings...

    They were so right.......

  15. Re:Great! Where's the backup solution? on The Amazing $5k Terabyte Array · · Score: 1

    "Absolutely. And to those who say "Just build another one" / "RAID doesn't need backup", I have only one thing to say:
    FIRE!"

    Oh sure.... your house is burning down and you're there thinking "Oh no... my P0RN! I should've gone co-lo!"

  16. Re:Rollercoster Tycoon on Creative Games sans Violence? · · Score: 1

    "Why not take an engine like Quake/Unreal and a level editor to create your own scenarios? You could remove monsters and weapons and basically make a multi-player maze."

    Because then it would really suck! What the hell would people do with no weapons or monsters? And why go through all that trouble. You could provide an equally thrilling experience by sitting three or four people around a pen and paper maze.
