  1. Re:Who's at fault here, really? on Another English/Metric "Spacecraft" Problem · · Score: 1, Insightful

    But is 25.4mm/in precise enough for this kind of calculation? The failure was caused by a .86 mm error!

    Or maybe the conversion formula was a bit off?

    Let's just hope he's not hosting his site on that computer.

  5. Re:It makes sense, though. on UK Music Industry Stomps on Imported CD Seller · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And, of course, the publicity they get can lead to an increase in sales that would mitigate the effect of the forced price hike.

  6. Re:They charge per client? on Review - Mac OS X Server 10.3, Part 1 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So is there a client limit on regular OS X? (Client)

    It's also kinda funny that, on the web page, the device's display shows a couple of Beatles songs. (The Beatle's record label is Apple Corps)

  8. Re:Very expensive? on The Amazing Properties of Aerogel · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's the other way around. Quartz is a form of SiO2.

  9. Maybe those 134 just didn't chose any candidate. on Touch Screen Voting Trouble in Florida · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It seem quite possible that 1% of the people that went in to the booth just decide that they didn't like any of the voters? It seems like the the moderators on /. are just trying to find problems where none exist. Let's see what happens if a "none of the above" button is added to the UI before we go crying about the inequities of touch screen voting.

    Here. I actually meant that, in this incident, the Airbus got confused about it's altitude and crashed into the ground.

    You just described the Airbus A300. (Except it had the altitude wrong)

  15. Re:Not to be partisan or anything on 235,000 Fewer Programmers by 2015 · · Score: 1

    The president is not the reason we have such a large deficit, it's the economy. While spending has increased due to the war, the government is also taking in a lot less money. Fewer jobs, less income tax revenue. Less production and retail sales, less corporate tax revenue.

  16. Re:Mix and Match on TV For Nerds: Cable Science Network? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, you'll have to settle for a merger of TechTV and G4.
