  1. Re:Trash talking scientist. on Possible Signs of Life Detected On Venus · · Score: 1

    I don't know wether to disagree.. or to agree *has dilema*

    "Plenty of extremephiles can live at 158 degrees."

    True... and there wouldn't be *much* water at that temp... but...

    "...Plenty of viruses can live in the air."

    There is plenty of water in the air... sure it is in droplets.. BUT there are LOTS of droplets... or so I am lead to believe.

  2. Disclaimer... on Possible Signs of Life Detected On Venus · · Score: 1

    I did read the article... I just don't take "return samples of the atmospher" to mean the same thing... I mean physically aim for them and scoop them or something (-: I am sure the ESA probes will not be going that deep which is why I asked my question about the plausability.

  3. Now if only... on Possible Signs of Life Detected On Venus · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nasa could do metric>>imperial conversions we could send an orbital probe to go pick some up... with out it buringing up (-:

    Seriously thou, would it be possible to send a scope to go pick some up. Obviously it would be expensive.. and the money could be spent better else where, but we know they won't so lets go with the flow and think about it... Not knowing much about venus, would the atmospheric pressure and gravitational forces be to high to send some sort of probe to enter the atmosphere and blast back out? (far off wacky idea I know, but I am bored)

    bitter aren't we... (-:

    I don't have a problem with rebooting either, I do have a problem with having to maintian a massively bloated partition for windows that could be better used

  5. Can someone explain something to me... on New Anti-Circumvention Rulemaking Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    I am not American, so I have not look much in to this law.. but something has been bugging me from the conversations I hear.

    The law obviously is strong on preventing people discussing/exploiting security vunrabilities, but is there an escape clause for in-house discussions?

    Is it illegal for a business who developes server software to hire people to test the security of their systems, and then discuss what they find?
