  1. Re:What does this say about Earth imaging? on Making Tracks on Mars · · Score: 1

    The best commercial resolution right now is 1 meter. NRO is supposedly far better than that. Not only that, but it's real-time. Not like Patriot Games, but still a lot more responsive. Unlike commerical operators, the NRO has the benefit of relay satellites.

  2. Re:Canuck ? on Da Vinci Project Postpones X-Prize Attempt · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This is what a Canuck is.

  3. Re:Funny... on Soviet Space Shuttle Found In Bahrain? · · Score: 1

    They only have the F-14 out of what might be considered "current." Before that, the F-4 and F-5. No F-15, F-16, or F/A-18.

  4. Re:Funny... on Soviet Space Shuttle Found In Bahrain? · · Score: 1

    Also, F-111 and Su-24.

    Bunch of crock.

  7. Re:Verizon is developer-unfriendly on Verizon Crippled Bluetooth Features in Motorola V710 · · Score: 1

    I have used my T.Mobile phone in the U.K., Spain, Switzerland, Germany, and South Africa with no trouble. In fact, in South Africa, I swapped my SIM card with someone else's so I could use their (cheaper) minutes on my phone. No big deal at all.

  8. Re:I love that... on The Last Atlas 2 Rocket Launch · · Score: 1

    They do have large oil reserves. Check out Athabasca.

    I assume the parent poster has no fucking idea what he's talking about.

  10. Re:In related news... on Intel Shrinks Transistor Size By 30% · · Score: 1

    He's not talking about processor performance. He's talking about heat output.

  12. Re:River Nile and east-russian (rail)road on Composite Of Earth At Night · · Score: 1

    This is the same as the transliteration of the Russian word into Latin from Cyrillic.

  13. Re:This begs the question on NASA Provides Results Of Scramjet Test · · Score: 1

    Or it becomes easier to cheat. "Yeah, honey, I'm across town, be there in time for dinner." Meanwhile, you've been visiting your slampiece on the other side of the continent.

  14. Re:amd is niche?? on End Of The Line For Alpha · · Score: 3, Informative

    He was talking about one product line. How many cars use Bosch Motronic? That's PowerPC. How many Fords? That's PowerPC. How many Cisco devices? How many Macs? How many GameCubes (and coming up, Xbox2/PS3/Next gen. Nintendo), how many other devices? How many PowerPC-based printers? And, well, you can count a few satellites and planetary probes.

    Apparently you missed my follow-up statement. See above.

  17. Re:This is being done by Republican-SUPPORTERS, ri on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    Who said I had to vote for Bush? I vote for McCain in the 2000 primaries. In the 2000 November election, I didn't vote for either. Note that doesn't mean I opted out of voting.

  18. Re:This is being done by Republican-SUPPORTERS, ri on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think you have Republicans confused with neocon/theocons. Real Republicans are all about individual rights. Look it up. Some of us Republicans are a bit annoyed with the hijacking of the party, though I am not about to become a Democrat over it.

  19. Re:Impressions? Or bad reviews? on Windows XP SP2 Impressions · · Score: 1

    Heh. I recall under NT3.51 that when you installed a service pack on an SMP machine, you had to go move the MP version of the NT kernel into place before rebooting, or else you'd get a blue screen when the system tried to start up. The service pack installer didn't have the brains to autodetect SMP systems.

  20. Re:Why not? on Solaris Coming to IBM's Power Architecture? · · Score: 1

    You already can. Only it's called OpenStep. And it's about ten years old.

  25. Yeah, but the irony is in the ending on Wright Brothers vs. Glenn Curtiss · · Score: 1

    The story mentions this anyway, but the merger that ended the squabbles produced the Curtiss-Wright company, which was instrumental in aviation, particularly with World War II aircraft engines. I think they later became part of North American, which is now a unit of Boeing. Of course, Curtiss-Wright still exists, but in name only. The name was applied to a division that was purchased and spun off.
