  5. Re:Thanks, Captain Obvious on Europe Vs. North America in WiFi growth. · · Score: 1

    its does not say that -- the rate of growth will be faster in Europe -- only because they were behind to begin with. And boy the EU did a great job of 3G -- NOT

  7. better way to launch a rocket? on NASA's New Space Wheels · · Score: 2, Informative

    Good article on a NASA-funded research project, Laser Propulsion Group is studying what may become a new type of rocket engine. They use powerful lasers firing pulses that last only tenths of nanoseconds -- tenths of billionths of a second -- at a wide range of target materials.

  14. They already did this... on "V" Sequel Coming to NBC · · Score: 1

    it was called Earth Final Conflict -- bet the plot line is very close

  15. this whole moon thing is a waste on Chinese Moon Base by 2012 - or 2006? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Until we have a cost effective launch process to get things in orbit and beyond the moon will only be a place to visit and plant a flag. Notions of Moon bases are very premature. The Chinese have yet to get a man in orbit using 30 year old tech. They might get to the moon in 10 years or so but they don't have the tech prowess to do it in a cost effective manner. I predict they go for 1 or 2 moon shots then realize what a waste of money it is using current chemical fuel rockets and drop it.

    agreed -- This Dream Machine does not seem to offer much other then a base line box for "other" companies to OEM. Long Live TIVO!

  24. another way to piss them off on One Answer To Spam: Sell Your Interruption Time · · Score: 1

    First off you can usually tell if you are about to get "one of those calls" by the momentary pause of the Predictive dialer system passing your pick up to an available agent. So you can always just hang up if you detect the pause. If you're bored you can wait for the pickup and as soon as the agent asks to speak to you -- you tell them to hold on one moment. At this point I put the phone on speaker phone/mute and surf the web. I've had them waiting for up to 5 minutes before they give up. This tactic, if done a large scale, would bring outbound productivity way down and cost way up.
