  1. Re:why xenon? on New Ion Engine Enters Space Race · · Score: 5, Funny

    They would be called Spaceballs.

  2. 130.000 people ?? on Ten Years Of The Linux Counter · · Score: 1

    I feel sorry for that first 0.001 person. The weight must be unbearable.

  3. Re:Transparent screens already availible on Transparent Screens on the Horizon? · · Score: 1

    Nothing beats the mechanical dog out of that movie, though. That's what an AIBO should be like! :)

    what? viscous & deadly?

  4. Re:Hasn't this been on Star Trek before? on Can Superconductors Block Gravitational Fields? · · Score: 1
    It sounds just like something I saw on the show last week! Now when can we get the teleporters?

    Star Trek doesn't have Tele-porters! EVERYONE knows this. They have transporters...

    I know the "difference" is slight and narrow, but it's there anyway.

  5. Re:Who brings their kids to Hooters? on Festival of Inappropriate Technology · · Score: 1
    Do the 'gril'ls actually go places? I suppose, if you _really_ wanted to, you could bring your fav. cooking utensils everywhere you eat.

    Though the girls might be wondering if *daddy* is gonna bring home a "new mommy.." ;)

  6. Re:Now the fun starts... on E3 Doom III Preview · · Score: 1

    Sure, I'll play it...
    ...if only they'd bundle it with the Eagle's 'Hell Freezes Over' album as an optional soundtrack. They seem to be on the same page.

  7. RE: Anyone younger care to say what they feel on Doom III Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    I remember when DoomII came out, I was ~10 and it scared the .... out of me. Esp. on levels where there were CyberDaemon's running about. I go back now and it's still a little tense, but nothing truely immersive (to me.) .It's still fun to run around and send Hell, well, back to Hell....

    I, too, think that it'll be less, and less scary/immersive/impressive with the next->next generations of "the same" games.

    Though, I really hope they do a good job on this game. (I've been thinking the should build a newone using the Quake [or sime other =ally cool] engine for a ong time now.)

  8. Re:Test it out if you have IE on Don't Hit That Back Button · · Score: 1

    update: once IE is closed, the file and dir's may be removed w/ ease.

    Though, Netscape has now refused to load this ( /.) website... it gets stuck @ 46% and does not proceed further.

    I too experienced the minesweeping effect with Win2k and IE 5.5.
    If you create the apprapriate directories, you can get IE to open winmine.exe, if you click on the 'XP, ME, etc' link. windows will then not allow removal of the "winmine.exe" as it is "in use" and it is a "sharing violation."
    When trying with Netscape4.79, the Run Minesweeper and Test.txt both came up negative, but the last, "read Google Cookie" caused a very long "0 Java Application" message to popup and retun when OK is clicked (~50 reps. worth). my first attempt with this cause N4.79 to "Cause errors and will be closed by windows."
    The 2nd attempt with this and N4.79 resulted in a useless browser and would not function (go to any other addresses) until killed and restarted.
