  1. So that's how they do it. on Cow Manure --> Electricity · · Score: 1

    We've never been told explicitly how they get the bioelectic energy out of us, efferectivly transforming us into this this [duracell.com]

  2. I know a dead Operating System when I see one. on Mandrake Linux... Not Dead Yet? · · Score: 0, Troll

Why not try to create a machine that is capable of reasoning at the expense of easy communication? ALICE is just an illusion, if a pretty sweet one. Note that this is from someone who spent 15 minutes last night arguing that the sky is in fact not blue at night, but black.

  8. What I would like to see on P2P Roaming Chat · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Someone ought to make a system like this in which clients use the released source code from Quake 1 or 2. Jimmy
