  2. Re:flip? on Origami Plane to Fly From the Int. Space Station · · Score: 1

    How do you get a paper airplane to get to mach anything?

    gravity and the lack of air....

  3. Re:Hm on Chance for a Tunguska Sized Impact on Mars · · Score: 1

    exactly on my birthday. Bring on the fireworks :-)

  4. Re:obligitory anti-MS line.... on OOXML's 662 Resolutions · · Score: 1

    Did you look at the dupe amount: 652. Leaves that us with only ten issues here?

    or the first served page is still likely to contain google ads as well...

  6. Re:I can think of some problems on The Development of Ecologically Sound Jet Fuel · · Score: 1

    (1): when one uses superconducting magnets, it doesn't use energy to stay levitated. It is like standing on the ground. you cannot compare air resistance only based on magnitude, because the jetliner and maglev do not share the same shape.

  7. Re:specific phrases? on Spam Sites Infesting Google Search Results · · Score: 1

    google them in news.google.com?

  8. Re:**Lets chop that price down...the newegg,com wa on Student and Professor Build Budget Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Ok, when did they bought it, and how much did the prices go down since then?

  9. Re:And of Course on Web Contracts Can't Be Changed Without Notice · · Score: 1

    So the circuit doing a pretty good job?

  10. Re:As an inhabitant of South West England on Thousands of Rubber Ducks to Finally End Journey · · Score: 1

    The ducks are mostly going in the same direction got you there: you, my chap, didn't read TFA, because then you would know the ducks split. 10K to the northern hemisphere, 19K to the southern one.
  11. Re:How long would it take? on Mars Rover Ready for Risky Descent into Crater · · Score: 1

    No, a picture doesn't lie.... Is it with pictures you try to convince us?

  12. This used to be... on American Class Divisions Through Facebook and MySpace · · Score: 1

    Beatles vs Stones.

    or...

    [ insert recent /. poll ]

    New generation, new divide, I guess.

  13. Re:can't you just do this now? on Hybrid Cars No Better than 'Intelligent' Cars · · Score: 1

    when you brake in a hybrid car, energy is fed back to the batteries. So in theory, it wouldn't matter, looking ahead or breaking.

    On the other hand, IMO, if only 5% of commuter cars would have this sensor system, the rest of the drivers would (have to) adjust to their behaviour and become more fuel efficient as well. (this applies only to the very busy roads, of course, otherwise one would take over, just to meet the 'intelligent' car again a couple of hundred meters further ahead .)

  14. Re:What is this, another FUD article?! on Sun Says, "Compensate OSS Developers" · · Score: 1

    besides that, many open source coders are paid by companies to do so. Only, the way to get there is not by applying for the job, it's by doing the job already (for free)

  15. Re:The logo should be changed on Supreme Court Weakens Patents · · Score: 1

    There is always a cost to manufacture, although with software this is minimal. Making medicine can have low manufacturing costs as well, but to get one is quite expensive and risky. Patents should be about protecting investments in innovations and the bigger the invention cost, the bigger the 'patent rights', IMO, being the innovation software or not.

    emphasis on innovation, of course, as being something new.

  16. Re:Incorrect assumption on Do We Really Need a Security Industry? · · Score: 1

    I couldn't find an article in the Lancet about buffer-overflows, but since the names of these other two come from the natural world AND we still have doctors and medicine, I think you are right, although in the natural world it would be the virii and worms to adapt.

    Mmmm, could've tried to search on 'hang-over' or 'morning sickness'.

  17. Re:Which Comes First? on Multi-Threaded Programming Without the Pain · · Score: 2, Funny

    nope, the post

  18. ig nobel on Nobel Prize Winners Live Longer · · Score: 1

    two things:
    -This study is a candidate for an ig Nobel prize
    -What will be the effect if they win? positive or negative?

  19. Re:Sensationalist title or what!? on Russian Rocket Hits Wyoming · · Score: 1

    is Wyoming not in bad need of roads?

  20. Re:EIA Residential Energy Statistics are free to a on Appliances Hog More Energy Than High-Tech Gadgets · · Score: 1

    let me guess.... Heating goes down, A/C goes up, Lights same, Fridge goes up, Cook goes down, clothes go down, gadgets go down, plasma tv the top new one.

  21. can't wait on A Single Pixel Camera · · Score: 5, Funny

    can't wait for the first four pixel camera. Imagine the resolution of that one! ;-P

  22. Re:Staying Competitive: Europe vs. USA on Galileo Sends Its First Signals · · Score: 1

    One thing we might be able to say, is that, since you're allowed to shoot [a burglar] in your house in the US, these figures back up the theory that it is much less attractive to rob a house in the US than it is in the UK :-)

  23. Re:who cares? on High-tech Cars Replacing Driver Skill? · · Score: 1

    you know that 80% of the drivers consider themselves in the top 30%, when there is just room for, err, 30% ?

    Not to say that you are not in this group, because I didn't see you drive, of course. (unless you were that F#@%%g moron last week that etc. etc. etc.) :)

  24. Re:No kidding on Sober Attack on 87th Anniversary of the Nazi Party · · Score: 1

    Scanning through the list I noticed that Richard Stallman started coding for GNU in 1984. I mean 1984.... the sober worm is going to finish what he started! Or the book, remember the book. It MUST have a meaning... somewhere

    Other link of what happened, like the dreyfus affair, to remain on topic.

  25. Re:First it was the mouse on VirtuSphere Immersive Virtual Reality · · Score: 1

    First we had the mouse.. Then we had the track ball.. Then we had pressure sensitive balls. Now we get to find out what it's like to be be the mouse.

    Then we get to find out, what it's like to be the track ball, next what it is to be a pressure sensitive ball?

    (to comment on the co-replier on this being to easy): We had those for years, right?
