  1. Re:Rare Earths? on NASA Now Accepting Applications From Companies That Want To Mine the Moon · · Score: 1

    As much as we NIMBY rare-earth refining, it can't be so bad that we're seriously willing to go to the MOON to do it?

    NOMM - Not on my moon.

  2. Re:Really? on Hammerhead System Offers a Better Way To Navigate While Cycling · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Also, even at 10mph, looking at a map while you're moving isn't a very bright move. When I was learning the bike route to get to work, I would stop to check maps. Not sure why people can't do that... seems a perfectly sane way to navigate on a bike.

    I couldn't agree more - just stop and check the map.

    Too many people are trying to solve problems with technology when often a non-technical option is the better one.

  3. Re:Cool! on Flying Robots Made From Cellophane? · · Score: 1
    Supposing two of them carry it together?

  10. Re:Dolly problems on Re-Pet a Reality · · Score: 1
    If this is the case then that kitten you had cloned from your aging cat will start costing a lot in vet bills and will die at an early age.

    But wouldn't a cat last longer, they do have 9 lives you know.. (better make it 8 for this one)

    If they bring him back, I vote lets get HIM to wear the red shirt this time!

  13. Re:Cats on X Prize Competition Gets New Sponsor, Amended Name · · Score: 1
    That might not be such a bad idea actually.

    Given the terminal velocity of a cat is only 60mph, you can save money on re-entry systems.

    Who needs parachutes????

  14. Re:they really should have called the... on Google's Copernicus Center · · Score: 1

    If they did that then most people wouldn't be able to find it.

    Then there would be a race on to bring back Martian turd to earth.

    Must...not...say...Klingon...joke...

  18. Re-activation?? on Six Months Old, Eight New Organs · · Score: 1

    Hmm...

    If you change too many body parts at one time, where do you apply for a re-activation key from??? god??

  19. Re:Friendly fire. on An Anti-DoS Tool That Returns Fire · · Score: 1
    Surely someone will implement a counter-strike system in the next 5 years.

  20. Re:How they really figured out that it was ok on How We Knew AL00667 Would Miss Earth · · Score: 5, Funny
    It was further proven that a zillion cans of beer barely lasts a couple of days and that having a million cans of baked beans is pretty useless when you forgot to bring a can-opener

    Hmm.. lets see. Your in an underground bunker, sealed from the outside world, with nothing to eat but baked beans and beer. If that isn't a recepie for a WMD gas attack then I don't know what is!

  22. Re:Oh no, not again! on Brine on Mars? · · Score: 1

    What ever happened to the 'face of mars'.

    Surely the latest images of mars have cleared up this conspiracy.

    Or is the face of mars still there, and NASA refuses to comment.

    Hang on, there's a knock on the door.......

  23. Another theory on Mars Crater Theory Tries To Explain Missing Beagle · · Score: 0, Troll

    Perhaps the crater was caused by the beagle crash landing??

  24. I'm very organised on How Do You Organize Your Gear? · · Score: 1

    My room at home is very organised into many piles.

    Each pile is self sorting so that the stuff that I use most is on the top, and the stuff I use the least is on the bottom. :)

  25. Re:You get stung, you react. on Swedish ISP Blocks Computers That Send Spam · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Sonera is one of the largest Internet/telecommunications providers in Finland and their e-mail systems have become a laughingstock during the last month. Reason: they don't work. There have been delays of several days in message delivery, some messages are lost entirely and their SMTP server seems to be down. Sonera is blaming this 100% on the W32.Swen.A virus and while there is ongoing debate regarding Sonera's e-mail administrators' competency, that certainly explains why Telia is scrambling to remedy this problem in Sweden.

    That's rather interesting. Telstra in Australia also has been the laughing stock down under with email servers not working, etc. Whirlpool has the complete story if anyone is interested. Perhaps these guys got their story from the same "excuse file" as Telstra??
