  1. Wasn't a prototype of this... on Ethanol to Hydrogen Reactor Developed · · Score: 1

    in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome?

  2. Re:America's Army on Good Online FPS Games/Servers For Beginners? · · Score: 1

    ...not to mention a great recruiting tool for the U.S. Army, which is kinda creepy if you ask me.

  3. Why bother with the numbers... on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 5, Funny

    when they change the name with every release?

  4. Re:ATI Blows on What's the Point of Building a Home Theater PC? · · Score: 1

    With my ATI Remote Wonder, I can turn stuff on and off through walls. My std tv/dvd/stereo remotes can't do that!

  5. Re:The US needs to catch up on Another English/Metric "Spacecraft" Problem · · Score: 1

    We've tried. Reagan committed us to the metric system years ago. Unfortunately, his plans went awry due to the powerful lobbying efforts of the fraction special interest groups.

  6. Re:Dubya on Whose Desktop Would You Most Like To See? · · Score: 2, Funny

    This may be a good indication: http://www.bushin30seconds.org/view/10_large.shtml (it's a link to a quicktime file)

  7. Cool! on Martian Rock Found In Morocco · · Score: 5, Funny

    Instead of us having to go to Mars, Mars is coming to us!

  8. Currency Detection is in use elsewhere too... on Currency Detection Discovered in More Products · · Score: 1

    Like in vending machines. Check it out yourself!

  9. How does sprit take great photos? on How Spirit Takes Pictures · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    You made the sprit choice!

  10. won't be appearing on supermodels soon... on Solar Powered Jacket Charges Your Gadgets · · Score: 1

    and Could I plug this in to keep my joy buzzer fully charged?

  11. Most interesting line in the article (to me)... on No WMA for HP iPod · · Score: 1

    "The iPod accounts for a third of the market for digital players, according to Apple." I guess the iPod isn't as iPopular as iThought...

  12. The lesson here? on Space Station Leak Found, Fixed · · Score: 5, Funny

    When aboard the space station, use Scotch brand magic transparent tape to affix photos of loved ones to the wall. NEVER EVER EVER use push pins, even Scotch brand magic push pins.

  13. Is an official-looking jacket all that it takes? on RIAA Takes the Fight to the Streets · · Score: 1

    Are the RIAA 'cops' making citizen's arrests?

  14. Bush's search for WMDs knows no bounds! on Bush To Announce Manned Trip To Moon, Mars · · Score: 1

    The moon and mars? This guy looks under EVERY rock.

  15. Ipod Mini - cool! on Rumors of iPod mini, 100 Million Songs, Xserve G5 All True · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now when the feds come knocking down your door, you can just swallow all of the tunes you got through file sharing!!! Is annodized aluminum digestible?

  16. My Eyes! on Windows CE.NET Ported to Xbox · · Score: 1
    Gaming on a TV is bad enough. Computing on a TV? My eyes would explode.

    (Of course, for years I used a cheap Sears TV as the monitor for my Atari 600XL/130XE, but those computers were made for TV output, so they weren't so fuzzy...)

  17. Perhaps through a paypal account? on Memory Holes and the Internet (updated) · · Score: 1

    Maybe millions of micropayments could somehow compete with the big special interests? Somehow?

  18. Does this open the door to telemarketers... on Ditching your Landline Just Got Easier · · Score: 1

    to now call me on my cell phone? Since ditching my land line a year or so ago, I haven't received any telemarketing calls on my cell. Will this now allow them to do so?

  19. Re:One word for you: Archos. on 5 Reasons Not to Buy an iPod · · Score: 1

    You can also upgrade the hard drives, currently to 80 gigs, I believe. And the Rockbox firmware replacement project is one of the coolest open-source projects going as far as I'm concerned... One thing though: they've recently changed their product lineup-- the Recorder V2 (which is the one they're making now, I believe) replaces the replaceable battery with built in rechargables a la the Ipod.

  20. Re: Who is elected at the FCC? on FCC Adopts Broadcast Flag Scheme · · Score: 3, Insightful

    From fcc.gov:
    The FCC is directed by five Commissioners appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate for 5-year terms, except when filling an unexpired term. The President designates one of the Commissioners to serve as Chairperson. Only three Commissioners may be members of the same political party. None of them can have a financial interest in any Commission-related business

  21. Can Nuts and Gum be far behind? on Simpsons Fan Creates Real Tomacco Plant · · Score: 1

    Homer was eating them a couple of years ago. And no science involved-- just good marketing!

  22. Re:Price? I don't think so... on Dell DJ: Yet Another MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    I agree. The Archos units require a bit more ingenuity on the user's part to get the most out of them. They do have digital output, easily replacable batteries, and great open source software, which the Ipod does not. I wouldn't recommend them to a casual listener, though.

  23. Price? I don't think so... on Dell DJ: Yet Another MP3 Player · · Score: 3, Informative

    Ipod 20 gig $399 Ipod 40 gig $499 Archos Recorder 20 gig = $309 Recorder 30 = $369 Recorder 40 = $389 Recorder 60 = $439 Recorder 80 = $609 Of course it's not as sexy and only plays mp3s, but I think $100 dollar differences in price are substantial. (Prices from Apple.com and newmp3technology.com)

  24. Re:Most high-end games suck on Building A High-End Gaming Workstation · · Score: 1

    Ahhh Level 9. Great stuff. I used to order the games on cassette from the UK for my Atari 8Bit. I loved the Snowball/Return to Eden/Worm in Time trilogy. They really packed a lot of great stuff into very limiting hardware.

  25. Re:Can you only download songs in AAC ? on Apple Releases iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    Nope. I love my recorder and won't give it up. I guess it's just not time (yet) for me to be buying songs online...
