  1. Impressive on Virgin Galactic Shows the Finished WhiteKnight Two · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well it certainly looks the part, you do wonder what these privateers could come up with given the budgets NASA work with.

  4. Wheres the training driod? on NASA To Send Luke's Lightsaber Into Space · · Score: 1

  6. Re:Ain't just tech stuff either. on 10 Terrible Portrayals of Technology in Film · · Score: 1

    There's a nice part in The Last ACtion Hero where Arnies characters comes into the real world and shoots at a car and is surprised when it doesnt instantly blow up.

  7. Re:I blame the voice acting on Oblivion Polymorph Mod · · Score: 1

    I found the voice acting to be very very poor. I can accept that there are far too many people to voice so there is going to be some repatition but the tone of the voice would change mid conversation.There didnt seem to be much regional dialogue or slang.

  8. Did they forget to carry the 2? on Scientists Expand Knowledge of Dark Matter · · Score: 1

    I've often wondred if the search for the elusive dark matter that will plug a whole in the equations that govern what we see could in fact be a red herring and in fact the equations themselves are wrong and someone somewhere forgot to carry a 2 Is Dark Matter just another fudge factor?

  9. Black Oil on Researchers Reconstruct 1918 Flu Virus · · Score: 1

    Apparently they are looking at some kind of black oil based virus, according to a Cigerette Smoking Man anyways

  10. Is this a dumb idea? on Microsoft, Intel back HD DVD over Blu-ray · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Surely the powers that be can see that a unified front is better for everyone. One reason the take up of DVD was so fast was that it was a single format. Any disc would work on any player, whether it was a budget model or a high end one. People remeber the VHS-BetaMax fiasco, who is going to upgrade their kit and more importantly their DVD library until the winner of the war stands alone? I can see the appeal of upgrading if the tech is better, but i am not going to get stuck with the losing format so i will not be upgrading until then, and i suspect i am not alone.

  11. Muching Pelletts - PacMan on Hydrogen Stored in Safe High Density Pellets · · Score: 1, Funny

    Surly PacMan had the idea of pellets as a fuel source several years before this. If only Ms PacMan had of nagged him to register the patent they could of got someone in to rid them of Blinky et al.

  12. Random Futurama reference on Walk on the Moon in IMAX 3D · · Score: 3, Funny

    But will Leela be able to watch the 3D film?

    The film you are thinking of was Event Horizon http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119081/

  14. Didn't realise Canada did that much in Space on Canadian Robot Could Rescue Hubble · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Other than this project and the arm for the ISS (and possibly the shuttle) is there anything else that Canada has put into space? Are they particularly good at robotics?

  15. Asteroids the Arcade game on Closest Asteroid Yet Flies Past Earth · · Score: 1

    Time to get MAME fired up and get up to speed on how to tackle Asteroids, remembering the potential hazard of hyperspacing into one.

  16. Clippy Says.... on US Army Signs $471,000,000 Deal for Microsoft Software · · Score: 1
