  1. Rupert, the toilet-seat-put-down-robot. on A Piece-By-Piece Guide to the Most Advanced Bots · · Score: 1

    "...and forgetting to put the toilet seat down."

    I've never understood this upsession with toilet seats not being put down. I mean, a toilet seat doesn't require a technical degree or any knowledge of intricate mechanisms to put down.

    If someone left it up, who not just put it down yourself, and stop wasting energy going around being irritated about it? :)

  2. Later Enterprise? on Babylon 5 Creator Pitches Trek · · Score: 1

    Later Enterprise? Enterprise C are Ambassador-class, Enterprise D are Galaxy-class, and Enterprise E are Sovereign class. As far as I know, the first Enterprise of Kirk&co. was constitution class. Hardly "later Enterprise", unless you count everything after the NX-class into that category. :)

  3. Lenght of a litre water? About 10cm. on Our Friend, The Meter · · Score: 1

    "Yes but how long is it?"

    1 liter (litre) = 1 cubic decimeter = 1 kilogram of water

    So, if the litre of water is in a box shaped like a perfect cube, it would be 10cm long(or wide, or tall).

  4. Correction on Farb-Rausch Releases PC Demo Creation Software · · Score: 1

    Actually, it was Assembly 93 and the demo was "Second Reality". No "II". :)

  5. Re:What happened to the demo scene anyway? on Farb-Rausch Releases PC Demo Creation Software · · Score: 1

    "Back in the 486 era, PC "demos" were absolutely pathetic compared to e.g. the Amiga scene!"

    Well, I remember seeing quite a lot of Amigausers jaws dropping when seeing the demo "Second Reality II" for the first time on Assembly 94. :)

  6. Translation on Skolelinux Project Releases Version 1.0 · · Score: 1

    "Du får nok lære norsk, din selvopptatte engelsksentrige tulling!" means something close to "You better learn Norwegian then, you self-obsessed, anglocentric dork.".

    Seems like there is a lot of Norwegians with moderator points today. :)

  7. Re:Is This Really Serious? on John Carmack's Test Liftoff a Success · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you had RTFA, you would know that what they present here is scaled down prototype to test some technologies, not the one they are attempting to use to get into x-prize altitude with.(And it's 62.5 miles, not 20).

  8. Re:Simulator? on John Carmack's Test Liftoff a Success · · Score: 1

    "idclip could be useful if the launch vehicle fails."

    And it's much easier to type than the first no-clipping code in Doom(up to about version 1.2 i think.) IDSPISPOPD is somewhat harder to write during stress. :)

  9. Because. on Orac^3 -- Not Your Everyday Casemod · · Score: 1

    "...And why is it called Orac when it doesn't actually look anything like Orac?"

    Probably because it was inspired by Orac. And in my opinion, it looks way better than the Blakes 7 prop.

  10. The Epia Sphere on Orac^3 -- Not Your Everyday Casemod · · Score: 1

    What about the Epia Sphere? :)

  11. Re:More Pictures on Sony VAIO U50 Reviewed In Depth · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, it's not allways used only to access the task manager to kill processes, or reboot a totally freezed system. In f.eks. Win2k, you use the key kombo to log in, and this button will make this easier than to fumble with the stylus and sticky-keys.

  12. But will it work with my.... on Build Your Own Dog Wagon · · Score: 1

    ...Dwarf Dachshund?

  13. Re:first post on Finally Geeks Available in Action Figure Form · · Score: 3, Funny

    No, his power can only give him second posts, but this doesn't stop him from claiming the "frist post".. :)

  14. Re:Cures on Cure for Cancer? · · Score: 1

    Totally OT, but Wow, seeing someone named p4ul13 answering a comment talking down on 1337 speech, I expected something more than a comment on lotto. :( You can do better than that! Sheesh! ;(

  15. Vaporware? on Flying Car More Economical Than SUV · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have been hearing about this particular car since late eighties, at least. I have an Arngren Electronics catalogue from 1990 that mentions the M400, and I have been hearing the exact same things about where they are in the process, etc. for the last ten years... Considering that it probably won't be available for sale in a long time yet, most people would be able to save up the cash to buy it when it's finally there. :)

  16. Re:Not to rain on his parade... on Solar-Hydrogen Eco-House · · Score: 1

    "They dropped cars with these tanks in the trunk from cranes (equivalent to 80Mph crashes .... burned them on top of stacks of kids."

    Some would argue that this testing went a bit over the top.

  17. Re:Heading off at the pass.... on Solar-Hydrogen Eco-House · · Score: 1

    "....and people cook with tanks full of propane that also is explosive. (no, I don't sell propane and propane accessories)."

    Why would I belive that you did? :)

  18. Re:There's a book by Guy-Lecky-Thompson... on First Person Shooter - Under 100KBs of Code · · Score: 1

    Actually, I walked right across the map in only two days!

  19. Re:Wow on First Person Shooter - Under 100KBs of Code · · Score: 1

    Wrong, the Sharewate-version did fit on a single HD(1.44mb) disk, atleast the early versions.

  20. Re:Wow on First Person Shooter - Under 100KBs of Code · · Score: 1

    Actually, the shareware-version(first episode) was distributed on a single disk(trough magazines and the like), so in a sense DOES Doom fit on a disk. :)

  21. More Wow! on First Person Shooter - Under 100KBs of Code · · Score: 4, Interesting

    For those interesting in something else from the same people, check out this 64k demo which among other things, includes detailed 3d-models of nude women. :)

  22. Re:Invisible Concrete on Concrete Casts New Light in Dull Rooms · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you want matching clothes, I'll get them. They're more than fit for an emperor.

  23. Score -1 Wrong on Tickets For The World's Biggest Computer Party · · Score: 1

    The cathering has had more than 5000 people the last copuple years. And the main hall is gigantic, so there's probably room for many more.

  24. Re:Pictures from last year on Tickets For The World's Biggest Computer Party · · Score: 1

    Ah.. Nothing like Geek S&M pornshot in the morning.

  25. Re:how on Tickets For The World's Biggest Computer Party · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's true. As a person who went to the gathering six years in a row, beginning with 1994, I can personally attest that in about 1996 or 1997, increasing numbers of good looking girls started to appear.(I 1995, there where a whole of 9 girls, and 1200 boys in the hall, i 2000 i think the ratio where 40/60, with about 4000 people in the hall).

    Ofcourse, the fact that girls used to get in for free, helped abit. :)
