  1. The Buran!!! on Where Should Space Exploration Go From Here? · · Score: 1

    I personally think the US should buy the remaining Buran space shuttles that the Russians made in the late 70s throughout the 80s. Although they were never used, in tests they proved to be more efficient and in someways safer than the U.S. space shuttles.

  2. Re:ClearChannel killed the radio fan. on Why (FM, Not XM) Radio Sucks · · Score: 3, Informative

    It relays a few ClearChannel networks, but not too many (in the neighborhood of 3-5). In addition, CC doesnt own enough stock in XMSR to affect any major business decisions.

  3. "Fighting" piracy on Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    By re-releasing older consoles, Nintendo can shutdown ROM piracy by claiming that the games are actively on the market.

  4. Re:Good News for Canadians... on RCA PVR Will Use Free Guide+ Program Guide · · Score: 0

    Isn't satellite TV illegal in Canada???

  5. NT on Microsoft Drops .NET Name For Next Windows Server · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why can't we just go back to the old naming method and call it "Windows NT Server" ? Life was so much easier back then!

  6. Noah's Arc 3-D on Top Ten Most Collectible Video Games · · Score: 1

    Was anybody else surprised not to see the SNES game Noah's Arc 3-D on the list?

  7. Old Age on Old Age Simulator · · Score: 1

    It's all about how you treat yourself, folks. If you eat good and stay fit, you won't have all of these problems this thing simulates when you're 80 years old. ;-)

  8. Re:The Bush/Ashcroft War On Constitutional Rights on Chemotherapy Patients Set Off Subway Alarms · · Score: 1

    Do you think the person doing the strip search knows that they have cancer? Is there anyway to tell? You know, some people don't lose their hair during chemo.

  9. I still use the command line on MS-DOS 1981-2002 RIP · · Score: 1

    I grew up on MS-DOS too, starting with DOS 2.0 on my dad's Intel 8088 Toshiba laptop. I still, to this day, use the command line to do file operations, even in Windows XP/.NET, such as COPY, MOVE, and FORMAT.

  10. Re:A few thoughts: on Evolution Reaches A New Milestone · · Score: 1

    An interesting tidbit, as of right now Outlook 11 has a feature similar to Evolution's VFolders.

  11. Not powerful enough on Online Game Cluster · · Score: 3, Funny

    Even with all that power and bandwidth, it still cannot withstand the almighty force of the /. effect.

  12. Open Beta Program on Indecision 2002 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I thought this was interesting. In Lafayette Parish in Louisiana, they are "beta testing" new electronic voting machines for absentee voting.

  13. Logging on AOL Selling AIM Gateway/Listener To Employers · · Score: 1

    I can see it now, the logs will be filled with "Tina765432107457: Watch as my sister gets beaten with my whip Click the -->[ENTER HERE]-- to see!"

  14. Good on Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Not to be a troll or anything, but I'm glad to see the anime go. I prefer cartoons like Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law and The Oblongs

  15. Re:Other good news for Saddam on Saddam's Inbox Hacked · · Score: 1

    Herbal viagra? His mistress says he gets 'da real shit. =)

  16. CD fillers avaliable! on Burn A Song For 99 Cents · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh boy, I can see it now. They'll disable the songs that people actually want to hear and let you burn the CD fillers. Yay!

  17. My radio stations suck on Satellite Radio in Fiscal Trouble · · Score: 1

    I'm in an area where the oldies station has been changed to NASCAR racing and Rick and Bubba, where the talk radio station is often off the air or otherwise screwed up, and where the alt rock station plays 30 minutes of commercials and 3 minutes of music. I'd purchase an MP3 player for my car, but oh wait - even though I'd have any song at the touch of my fingertips, I'd be inclined to play the same crap over and over again as I do at home, which would get kind of boring. I travel often commute on I-10, quite possibly one of the worst damn roads in the U.S. I don't want to be messing with my iPod while I'm on the Atchafayala Basin Bridge, so I bought an XM Satellite Radio, and quite frankly I love it. They even have an INDIE STATION for crying out loud!

    Go ahead and flame me, but that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it

  18. "Dear Leader" Kim Jong Il on Korea World Leader in Broadband/Technology at Home · · Score: 3, Funny

    According to South Korean intel reports, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has a IQ in the genius range (150-160) and is a computer wizard. I'm sure he's a multiplayer fanatic.

  19. Sure, it may be free... on FCC Approves Digital Radio, Kills Satellite Merger · · Score: 1, Insightful

    ...but nothing comes without a price folks. Instead of paying out of your pocket, you'll be paying with your ears - by listening to commercials.

  20. Re:The Real intention of scifi on Farscape Frelling Cancelled · · Score: 1

    If Sliders was shit, then LEXX and Farscape is old donkey shit. =)

  21. Re:The Real intention of scifi on Farscape Frelling Cancelled · · Score: 1

    They've done the same thing several times before... anybody remember Sliders?

  22. Re:Tax on blank media? on Price of Minidiscs in Australia? · · Score: 1

    Ah! But you do get something in return.... higher prices.

  23. Re:Just pretty lightning.. not effective, here's w on Build Your Own Tesla Coil · · Score: 1

    2 amps may be enough to fu*k someone up, but imagine using 100+ amps... here in Louisiana, that's called "deep fry". :-)

  24. Amendment on American Movie Execs Could Face Aussie Jails For Hacking · · Score: 4, Funny

    One can only begin to imagine what this will bring - an amendment to the bill prohibiting extradition of media company execs to Australia.

  25. Re:What!? on Ricardo Montalban Recalls Khan · · Score: 1

    No, Star Trek V was the WORST Trek movie of all time. Remember, even numbered trek films ROCK. :-)
