  1. Coincidence on Armadillo Rocket Makes A (Short) Manned Hop · · Score: 5, Funny

    About the same amount of time one might get with a Rocket Gun assisted jump?

  2. Re:Not a scam on UCSB Bans Windows NT/2000 in the Dorms · · Score: 3, Funny

    The key factor here is that they are banking on the fact that Win9X will crash frequently enough as to be "offline" more often then not. You can't exploit what you can't see.

  3. Re:MISCONDUCT on Bell Labs fires Hendrik Schon for Data Falsification · · Score: 2


    Stone of Shame - Simpsons episode where Homer was a member of the Stone Cutters, right?

    Didn't he eventually trade in the Stone Of Shame for the Stone Of Glory?

  4. Re:Shit Happens on Bell Labs fires Hendrik Schon for Data Falsification · · Score: 2

    Yeah, my hearts breakin just like it did for Key Lay and all the other ilk out there. To freakin bad. He got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Tough toenails.

  5. Stop The World, I Wanna Get Off on Bell Labs fires Hendrik Schon for Data Falsification · · Score: 2

    Company CEO's, Stock Analysts, My Fiancee and now this lying thug. Next thing you know, I'll discover there really is no Santa.

  6. Re:Why NYTimes? on Top Ten Physics Experiments Of All Times · · Score: 2

    Maybe because the other news services ain't work doodlie-squat? I've yet to find a good, in-depth article on any other site. They usually reduce content to about a dozen lines.

  7. Re:Big Trouble In Little China on Enterprise Season Premiere Tonight · · Score: 2

    Ranks right up there with Buckaroo Banzai. In fact BTiLC was/is a retooled version of the never executed sequel to Buckaroo. "I've been ionized, but I'm okay now" (BB)

  8. Where on Talk To a Convicted Warez Guy · · Score: 2

    can I get a bootleg copy of the latest RedHat distro?

  9. Re:That's cool but... on Space Shuttle External Tank Webcam · · Score: 2

    If its the government (and NASA with the 70's era components), then they are probably still using a 28.8K modem (albiet bought with a hefty markup).

    The next step will be to upgrade to a 56K. In a couple of years they'll go with a cable modem, they just need to find a big enough spool to hold all that CAT5.

    Oh, if only it were a giant beer can, then we could host the first Intergalatic Kegger (MIB).

  11. Great, Another Model I Can RMA To Hell on ViewSonic shows 200 dpi display · · Score: 2


    I have little faith left in Viewsonic monitors. I suffered through eight RMA's on an 817 series monitor in the course of two years. All, except one, failed for the same reason, just went "poof". One monitor died with 8 hrs of recieving it. The final straw was when they shipped a monitor that looked like something had broken loose inside the tube and bounced around, scarring up the back of the panel.

    Each and every time I called, they professed ignorance and told me that thier was no quailty control problem with the 817. But they had an abundent supply of refurbished 817's. And I had to pay freight for each and every return. At 71 lbs, those babies weren't cheap to ship.

    After about the third return, I tried to convince them to ship me a different model. They wouldn't.

    Funny though, my 815, which sits on the same table, has been lite for going on 5 years now, with not a problem.

  12. Re:Pull my finger, eh? on Undersea Deposits of Frozen Methane Found · · Score: 2

    Ya mean something like an LNG (Liquid Natural Gas Carrier). Them things have been plying the oceans for years. http://www.netl.doe.gov/publications/proceedings/0 2/ngt/Quillen.pdf

  17. Re:And Now on eSuds · · Score: 2

    Said geek will still have to get the laundry to the machine. And move the wet duds from washer to dryer. And then remove the now clean fresh clothes, stuff em all back into a smelly duffle bag, transport them back home and dump them on the closet floor.

    Following that logic, MP3's would then be responsible for 9-11?

    Surprised the RIAA hasn't come out with an ad claiming that "ripping" of music support Osama and his ilk.
