  1. If it becomes even larger? on Overwhelmingly Large Telescope Closer to Reality · · Score: 1
    Ok, suppose this telescope is built and later another, even larger, telescope will be build. How on earth are we going to name it then?

    Improbable Large Telescope ?

  2. Re:5000m? on Overwhelmingly Large Telescope Closer to Reality · · Score: 2, Funny
    Now how the heck would they manage to transport a 100m mirror to a mountain peak at 5000meters?

    Easy, just find enough blonde girls...

  3. Realistic? on A Quick Peek From the Matrix Set In Sydney · · Score: 3, Funny

    Mr Director, I think it would be quite unrealistic in a film if a helicopter flew 10 meters over your head in a city like Sydney and nobody would take pictures...

  5. When do we change our system to metrics on Isn't it Time for Metric Time? · · Score: 1

    If we change time to a metric system, shouldn't we change kilobytes to 1000 instead of 1024 ?

  6. Re:Damn. I did it again... on End Of the Road for Duron · · Score: 1

    If I offer you some money, could you buy Windows XP for me? Thanx :-)

  7. Re:Modern Russian Rockets on Soviet Moon Rocket · · Score: 1

    Some weeks ago on Discovery Channel there was a documentary about the NK-33 and the old russian attempt to reach the moon. In fact, this RD-180 engine is based upon the NK-33 engine because the technology (after more than 20 years) was superior over american engines. I believe a launch was made with a American Delta rocket with one RD-180 engine instead of 4-5 american engines.
