  1. LOX and kerosene but there is one more cost on New XCOR Rocket Engine Passes First Test · · Score: 1
    one more cost effective way to build and power a rocket engine.

    I have heard of a company that was trying to use solid/liquid rocket technology that used regular rubber as the fuel source and liquid oxygen as the oxidizer. The pictures of it were like the space shuttle solid rocket booster .

    What happened to that company ? anyone know ?

  5. milling machines are cool on Build Your Own PCB Milling Machine · · Score: 3, Interesting
    If you type in "home built milling" at google you'll get an interesting type of mill called a CNC mill that is made out of regular Dremel rotary drills and computers. Very cool.

    More people need to be able to make their own parts out of steel and plastic. The problem is cost. It's curious that a country that is inventive as ours doesn't have some type of affordable CNC(computer numeric computation) milling machine.

    Affordable metal cutting lathes are expensive too.

    Isn't he the clown that wanted patents on all the genes he found for his genome project.

    What absolute bull.

    The gov was going to decipher the whole genome anyways. I also heard that some of the data used by his system may be corrupt by the system he used . My source was an article in time magazine.

    His contributions to science is nothing. Just another raider.

  9. Right. We need all our industries destroyed! on Software Tariffs and US IT Outsourcing? · · Score: 0
    Asian countries always dump steel at below cost. Why do they do that?

    To fuck the industry and make them go out of business so they will later raise prices.

    You can work around capitalism and succeed.

  11. Cliff... good question. on Software Tariffs and US IT Outsourcing? · · Score: 0
    Your probably right.

    Let's not treat software differently than steel or any other product.

    I expect to see more 'foreign' countries try to steal jobs from the U.S. .

    This concept of fair trade makes no sense. The steel industry gets hit hard with 'dumping' all the time.

    Tariffs should be added to their software. I don't think India has a free market economy.

  12. Stupid NASA!! Include these boxes on all flights!! on Shuttle Data Recorder May be Key to Accident · · Score: 0
    Telemetry did real good in this case didn't it you stupid NASA fuckups.

    For some of you that don't know. Nasa in it's brilliance concluded that they don't need black boxes because they can use radio telemetry instead and save some weight on the shuttle and get instant feedback.

    Worked real well. Didn't it.

    Re-entry is THE most dangerous events in the shuttles job !

    By the way the shuttle system is old and was outdated years ago. We should be using an affordable multistaged rocket like the old days in space and what the russky's use.

    Nasa = complete incompetence.

  13. is Gnutella2 better than Kazalite ? on Gnutella2 Specifications · · Score: 0
    kazalite is damn good. Reliable. Lots of stuff. Fast.

    Have to agree with earlier replys about Gnutella having sloooow downloads and it being unreliable.

  14. You want to stop BUFFEROVERFLOWS? STOP USING C OR on Microsoft To Teach Undergrads About Secure Computing · · Score: 0
    STOP USING C OR C++ !

    These languages weren't developed for security.

    Too easy to fuck up using these languages.

    Better alternatives are Java, modula, euphoria....

    If you think these languages are slow then code a compiler for these languages(euphoria already has a translator for c)

    Pointers and bufferflows fuck up security so change languages.

    come up with a new language or modify the C/c++ languages.

  19. Idea : Bring back the orginial series! Kirk,Spock on Rick Berman: Enterprise May Not Suck Next Year · · Score: 0
    Bring the original series back but upgrade slightly like the ship. Bring back Spock, Kirk and the rest of the crew. The reason why the original show worked so well was because of good stories but those characters ROCKED !

    Kirk as Mr. SEX, screwing every alien woman that got in his way!

    Superpower Spock that hated everyone with his slight diatribes against humans.

    Sulu,Checkov .....

    Drunk Scotty...

    Great characters man!

    Screw these new characters. These new series suck. I do like the female vulcan on Enterprise. She was in MAXIM 2 months ago. HOT. Totally NUDE. One of the best Maxims along with Christina Aguilera series last month.

    Bring back the originals. Have a Hot looking blackwoman in minitight miniskirt ! Bring back all the miniskirts! Quit being politically correct. Take chances.

    Put sexy women back on startreck instead of shit like Voyager. Damn that Bitch captain needed a good lay by the BLACK VULCAN !

    peace, out.

    Doctor Who , the greatest sci-fi trilogy ever.

    Why is it never broadcast?

    I like Science - Fiction but for some reason the Sci-Fi channel has never done it for me. The Spielberg miniseries was bad. I liked Farscape for a couple of episodes then it went downhill fast with bad writing. Stargate is another remake of a Film. Something is missing. All these shows seem to dumb down Sci-Fi.

    Why not make some books into shows/movies for the scifi channel ?

    Ethanol, methanol before hydrogen. Fuel cells are a good idea.
