  1. Re:Jeez' Louise.. on Giant Explosion Observed · · Score: 1

    That would require an smeloscope. Don't thing NASA has one of those yet.

  2. Slickrun on Free Windows Software Without Spyware/Adware · · Score: 1

    This nifty little utility was previously called Quickrun. It's a small command bar that launches applications, websites using keywords. Has some nice features and because essential very quickly. http://www.bayden.com/SlickRun/

  3. Re:Shrek 2 DVD (kinda OT) on MPAA to Sue BitTorrent Tracker Servers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah sure Disney. Shrek 2 is a DreamWorks picture distributed by DreamWorks, Universal or United (depending on the country).

    Source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298148/companycredits

  4. Re:Scary (saracasm) on A .Net CPU · · Score: 1

    Maybe you are confusing the fact that Microsoft dropped the Hailstorm project (officially My.Net or something like that). It was supposed to regroup Passeport.Net, Calendar.Net, Hotmail and .Net itself. Fortunelly Microsoft realised that people weren't going to developp applications where most of the information would be stored on Microsoft's servers. A silly idea that gave a bad image of .Net. Good thing it's now well forgotten. It could have killed .Net.

  5. Re:who are these hacks? on Spider Silk Genetically Engineered · · Score: 1

    Exactly, and on top of that, even in the wild they don't kill each other. They just fight until one gives up. Sure it probably happens that one will die but I guess with locked-up spiders it would be much more a fight "to de death".

  6. Re:Who throws away dics? on New Blu-ray Disc to be Made of Corn · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sheesh how much more paranoid can you get? The source of R&D funding is probably coming from the guys that made this discovery. I seriously doubt that the RIAA would fund the media hoping that piracy wont last so many years. Come on, it's just an alternative to other medias and designed for throw away use. Long term? Get a normal Blue-ray of whatever, short term AOL-type CD, corn. You should have been moded funny or something.

  7. Re:Must have been quite powerful on Distress Signal Emitted By Flat-Screen TV · · Score: 1

    Half beleive Echelon? As incredible as it may sound, the European Union made a commission that proved it's existence. At least that much we know.

  8. Troubleshooting AI based on... on Satellite Loaded With AI For Self-Diagnosis · · Score: 1

    Dr. Watson... Hey, it even beams calls home when something goes wrong.

  9. Re:200 years??? on Dan Bricklin on Software That Lasts 200 Years · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wait untill the secret service starts asking you questions about shooting presidents ;-).

  10. Re:Accuracy across episodes? on A Complete Map To Springfield · · Score: 1

    Well if you do click on the house in the map it does state that is changes numbers and one is used most often.

  11. Re:Self Healing Minefield on Robocones · · Score: 1

    I dont thing minefields are often put on nice flat patches of highway. And there robots are probably not build to drive on uneven terrain. I'd rather see a life-preserving robot like this not have any military applications.

  12. Re:How soon before... on X-43A Hits Mach 7 · · Score: 1

    And get you a nice shiny Darwin Award as well!

  13. Of course, the Futurama quote on Wooden Computer Accessories · · Score: 1

    "Bite my spongy woodden ass!" - Bender

  14. Gene Therapy Creates Strong Super-Rats on Gene Therapy Creates Strong Super-Rats · · Score: 1

    As opposed to what? Feeble super-rats?

  15. Re:No Biggie on Kazaa Offices Raided · · Score: 1

    "Besides, with a name like MIPI, could you really stay mad at them for that long?" Yes you can. CLIPPY sounds cute too and even similar to MIPI. And listen to what people thing about it :-).

  16. Re:not much can be done about this on Expert Says Glass Is Major Threat to Birds · · Score: 1

    Maybe the shadow of a saltie crock could do the trick :-).

  17. Re:I thought it had already been released on Half-Life 2 Targeted for Summer Release · · Score: 1

    Yes, but only in sovi... hum in Russia that is.

  18. Re:In related news... on Mario Monti Fines Microsoft 100 Million? · · Score: 1

    Credit card, for the frequent flyer miles.

  19. Re:-1 Troll on Switching from Another Industry to Engineering/CS? · · Score: 1

    Maybe he got it on ebay ;-).

  20. Re:Why do a manned mission? on One-Way Ticket to Mars? · · Score: 1

    "Because we can"? If we're talking about cutting the trip to a one way ticket, I think that means that we can't do it all the way. Not yet at least. When we have the possibility to go there and back, then I agree that it should be done for the good of science.

  21. Re:ummm flawed logic? on Can Manned Spaceflight Save the Economy? · · Score: 1

    Velcro was actually invented in 1948 by George de Mestral, a Swiss engineer while walking in a field and getting some seeds attached to his clothes. This inspiring him to make what we know as velcro. No space tech there.

  22. Re:Glasses for Zaphod Beebelbrox on Better Displays With New Nanowire Film · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a Ghost in the Shell: Stand alone complex. They kill a cop who knew to much by hacking his eyes and turning them off while he was driving on the highway.

  23. Re:Sined, sealed, delivered. on Suborbital Spaceflight Update · · Score: 1

    "Buckaroo Bonzai" I think you ment Buckaroo Banzai. Neurosurgeon and rock star, not the small trees :-).

  24. Re:What, is that out yet? on New Napster Off To A Solid Start · · Score: 1

    "half the xp users"? Yes, because we all live in the USA don't we. Sound a bit exagerated. Still, I think I'll give it a try for the 30 second previews.

  25. Re:MP3=illegal, MP3players=legal? on Dell DJ: Yet Another MP3 Player · · Score: 0

    I don't see what illegal about listening to my own ripped CDs on my own MP3 player. Might as well make portable CD players illegal. It's called fair use buddy.
