  1. Re:1024 Bits in a single Liquid Crystal.. on Molecular Photography · · Score: 1

    That's how much rom the microcontroller i'm using has.

  2. This is cool! Straight out of Star Trek on Molecular Photography · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    In one of the episodes The Sherlock Holmes hologram was stored in a block the size of a sugar cube. This nanotechnology would help make some really cool spy and surveillance technology.

  3. Funny Quote on Linux Lands Big Bank Account · · Score: 2, Funny

    Noticed this at the bottom of the page. "The number of Unix installations has grown to 10, with more expected." -- The Unix Programmer's Manual, 2nd Edition, June, 1972

  4. Re:Superman III Patch on Linux Lands Big Bank Account · · Score: 1

    That is funny as hell!!!

  5. I like the ones on Star Trek on Do People Really Use Their PDAs? · · Score: 1

    I've always thought of them as glorified day planners without the quick ability to jot notes and flip through pages. I don't think i'll buy one untill they can take dictations kinda like the ones on star trek.

  6. Re:I just did yesterday on No Need to Upgrade that PC? · · Score: 1

    I have an 1800 and mines 47C but in the summer mine was getting up past 70C. :(

  7. Ya on No Need to Upgrade that PC? · · Score: 1

    Even Windows Can't keep forcing people to upgrade no matter how horribly it manages resources. I doubt we will see a windows OS that WILL require a GHz machine any time soon. Unless Joe Blow is a 3d gamer or likes to do video creation, i doubt he will ever upgrade untill his computer no longer works.

  8. Do you have any interrest in... on Ask William Shatner · · Score: 1

    Would you enjoy working at nasa? If you would would you want to be the engineer or the astronaught.

  9. Re:This profit subsidizes the rest... on Microsoft Profit and Loss by Business Area · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I don't buy other MS software. As it is they are monopolizing nearly everything now adays. Next week well see them monopolize toilet paper and raise the price to $5.00 a roll for 1-ply.

  10. Long movie on Review: Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets · · Score: 1

    I saw it and it was very long, something like 3 hours. Wasn't bad though but i thought it could have been done better. Was slightly better than the last. The denoument dragged on of course and wasn't that great.

  11. Re:What a waste of time on Fun With Wine · · Score: 1

    If your talking about palladium there's nothing they can really do about it unless intel and amd have a sudden change of heart and get rid of that trash so that no signed software can still run.

  12. Re:The data from the benchmarks is pasted here: on New Linux 2.5 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    I like this one: "WXP ......... more secure than Linux" Well i lost track but there are far more than 200 security articles for xp last time i checked. That page with the number of articles no longer appears. I wonder why :P

  13. Re:2.5 on New Linux 2.5 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Of course it will, with linux servers everything should be snappy :P

  14. Re:Since when do radio waves move things around? on Radio Waves Employed in Space Construction · · Score: 3, Informative

    All electromagnetic waves, including light, are made up of photons and they do excert a force. The momentum of light can be calcuated via its frequency. The smaller the wavelength the more momentum and energy it has. According to Einstein: E^2=p^2c^2 +(mc^2)^2 Since the mass of a photon is negligable, if it even has one, E=pc where the energy is dependant on the momentum. C is a constant, ~ 3.0e8 m/s P is the momentum of the photon. Light is both a particle and a wave. P = h/(wavelength) where h is plancks constant. In fact P = h/wavelenght is true for all matter as well. If you want to learn more do some reading on quantum physics.

  15. Re:Hmm... on Radio Waves Employed in Space Construction · · Score: 2, Funny

    Noob astronought and seasoned astronought were flying in the millenium falcon when that happened.

  16. Re:IN SOVIET RUSSIA... on Microsoft Responds to Leaked Memo · · Score: 1, Funny

    Microsoft would be sent to gulag.

  17. Microsoft better be concerned on Microsoft Responds to Leaked Memo · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They are dependant on the marketing and business schemes and not the quality of their product. If the above isn't working then they better become concerned.

  18. Anime is mostly trash but on The Significance of Anime · · Score: 1

    Transformers seems to stand above it.

  19. Re:Daniel Jackson Back!? on Open the Iris: Stargate SG1 Confirms Season 7 · · Score: 1

    Well i meant season 5 then :P

  20. Daniel Jackson Back!? on Open the Iris: Stargate SG1 Confirms Season 7 · · Score: 1

    I didn't mind him gone. I never really liked his character that much, especially throughout season 6. He was dead weight as far as I'm concerned.

    My big concern is how they will bring him back without making the plot totally absurd!

  21. Re:doesn't matter... on W3C Releases Drafts For DOM L2 And More · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I agree exactly with that. How many standards does IE 6 adhere with. One of my professors actually uses microsoft office (or some other ms product) to make the website and its components and it is a pain in the ass to access unless i'm using IE 6. In fact i was using mozilla and I ended up missing 6 pages from a document. I don't see why and how MS needs to break standards other than for their own agenda. If they do set their own standards it should be something the whole world can agree upon. Communication technologies should all follow standard protocols!

  22. Re:Predictions on Edgar Allan Poe, Cosmologist · · Score: 1

    I predict that everything is made up of 12 dimensional strings because everything is a wave. Presto. I'm a genius.

  23. Physics is weird! on Theoretical Physics Breakthrough or Hoax? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Its weird and doesn't make sense because our tiny minds cannot comprehend nor visualize many things. Mathematically we can prove these concepts, however they may be hard to swallow. Do remember that mathematics has proved or hypothesized many things that we have later proven true.

  24. Re:Whats the big problem with putting ogg everywhe on Ogg Support For iTunes · · Score: 1

    Sony for example, is in tight with Microsoft. They also produce records and want some of that good old drm that wma seems to offer.

    That's what i want to know. I would buy one then for sure.
