  1. Re:AIM isn't P2P? on Greene's Grammy Speech Debunked · · Score: 2

    the direct connection is not done through the servers. because of this, you are still able to communicate, transfer files, or whatever to the person you are connected to even after you disconnect from the AIM service.

    i don't think a 1GHz Pentium 4 exists.

  3. an idea to make him change his mind. on Rep. Bill Jones Thinks Spam is "Innovative" · · Score: 2

    what if every one of us sent a message to his primary email address with an image of something random and telling him some way to get rich in the next 24 hours, every day for the next month and see how innovative he thinks spam is after that.

  4. Re:Odds are there won't be life... on Europa May "Nurture" Life · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    pretty much EVERY planet we have explored people have concocated some story or theory or whatever about how it contains life, Mars, Venus, Jupiter etc. But once we get there we realize that there isn't any life, or at least any we can detect.

    What about the Klingons on Uranus?


    sorry... had to revert back to the 4th grade for a second.

    that doesn't mean there are 20,500 unique bugs.

  7. Re:Wtf? on Slashback: Rebuttal, Satellite, Patents · · Score: 5, Interesting

    that sort of reminds me of this:

    In late 1999, Apple CEO Steve Jobs telephoned Stephens(Adaptec CEO). "I want the source code for your CD burner on my desk today, or you'll never do business with Apple again," Jobs said.

    Jobs seemingly (and boldly) wanted to examine the source code for possible inclusion in Apple's forthcoming OS, but Stephens, unwilling to give up proprietary information, politely explained that Adaptec would be happy to work out a licensing plan instead. So Stephens said, "With a healthy share of the Macintosh CD software market already and not a whole lot of business done directly with Apple these days, doesn't it seem...."

    Click. Jobs hung up. Stephens was baffled.

    Jobs makes me laugh. That takes some big rocks.

    and just because he only got CAUGHT once, doesn't mean he was only speeding once.

  9. that's nice... on Sleep Less, Live Longer · · Score: 3, Funny

    Personally, I'd rather sleep longer and live a shorter life.

  10. just wait... on Genetically Modified Mouthwashing Bacteria · · Score: 3, Funny

    until it mutates from mouthwashing bacteria to brainwashing bacteria. (which will then be patented by AOL Time Warner, of course)

  11. Re:Most of this sounds unlikely.. on A Timeline of the Future · · Score: 2

    According to current theories from respectable scientists (such as J.R. Gott) time travel is only possible back to the point in which time travel was invented, so while it would be possible to travel back in time, you would not be able to go back and build a time machine 100 years earlier. A lot of these theories require near-light speeds around superstrings (hoping they exist) so i don't think it is anything we'll be faced with within the next few decades.

  12. Re:dumb q on Looking For Saturn's Lost Ring · · Score: 2

    Not all stories are posted to the front page. I guess some aren't deemed significant enough to make it there. Check the left side of the front page to see new stories posted to the individual sections.

    i will have the first webserver running on a cue cat.

  14. Re:Interesting time line on ArsDigita Founder Responds to Closing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i am pretty sure it's just a typo. if i do recall correctly, Mr. Shaheen did not make that statement until April of 2001, shortly after he took control of the company.

    As for that VC and new mgmt section... it's probably screwy because that is most likely the section they throw the new guy on who has way too much else to do than proofread something that the majority will not be interested in reading. seems like they would be more careful, since that would be what stockholders would want to see. of course, i'm not sure if they ever went public or not, so stockholders may not be an issue.

  15. Re:Use JCL to stop junk mail (postal)? on When PC Still Means 'Punch Card' · · Score: 2, Funny

  17. Re:Still implausible on Followup To Bohr-Heisenberg Meeting · · Score: 3, Insightful

    the Nazis were efficient people. they may have been able to achieve this with fewer resources than the American program required. The Germans also had control of most of Europe. I'm not saying a believe they really had an atomic program that was even nearly successful, but i don't think the possibility is all that far fetched.

    woah... that's a great idea. i bet it could be done with a webcam, some face recognition software... or maybe even voice recognition, so it would look at you when you called, and the right amount of robotic skill. i would so do it if i wasn't a robotics moron.
