  1. Straight Outta Cosmos on Ice Cube Neutrino Observatory At South Pole · · Score: 1

    Neutrinos better check themselves before they wreck themselves!

  2. Re:I Guess That's About All That's Left on Star Wars To Air As Animated Sitcom · · Score: 1

    Somehow I doubt Lucas has a funny bone in his body. The thought of the stale, flat, and not-even-hilariously-UNfunny jokes is already making me cringe. But then again, maybe he could get Leno and his *crack* team of writers on the job. Jay-Walking on Tatooine, anyone? I imagine this will be about the equivalent...

  3. Opposite experience on Microsoft Looking Into Windows 7 Battery Failures · · Score: 2, Informative

    My HP 2510p went from an absolute maximum of 4 hours life to nearly 7 hours when I installed Win7. I never let it go below 20% or charge above 80% if I can help it and if I'm working plugged in I've taken to removing the battery altogether so that the heat the system generates won't contribute to shortening battery life. I certainly wouldn't ever go back to Vista or XP for the sake of a battery. Win7's power management is vastly superior. (I wonder if people having problems upgraded to Win7 vs. performed a fresh install?)

  4. Come back Zinc! Come Back! on Supplies of Rare Earth Elements Exhausted By 2017 · · Score: 1

    Funny and stupid. All of these elements could be extracted from e-waste if anyone ever thought about it. Soon we'll be mining the landfills. Mark my words. http://www.tv.com/the-simpsons/bart-the-lover/episode/1336/summary.html

  5. grassroots model works best on Spam Filtering For Small/Medium Business? · · Score: 1

    My firm utilizes MXLogic. MX records redirect all mail to them for 40-odd spam tests. Only non-quarantined mail is then delivered to users (we find that the load on mail servers reduces by 60%). The real advantage is that users all receive a quarantine report in their inboxes daily. This allows them to release (white-list) items quarantined. Because 1 man's spam is another's ham, this "grassroots" approach seems to work best. Aside from a few global white-listings (business partners) and black-listings (mischevious ex-employees), there is very little top-down administration. Also, there is nothing to install or maintain on workstations like with SpamBayes or other client-based filters. The cost per user is very resaonable, especially when you consider the time it will save admins.

  6. While they're at it... on Why Apple Should Acquire Adobe · · Score: 1

    If Apple really wants to get into the "Pro" game, why not create a recording iPod that syncs up with Logic? As a producer and DJ, the fact Apple won't make a pro iPod that can record (crappy voice recorders excepted) has always baffled me. I only begrudgingly got a Nano after years of saying I would hold out for a record-capabable unit. Oh well...

  7. Forget about steering... on Swedish Carbon-Fiber Stealth Ship Runs NT · · Score: 1

    Blue screens aside, what about worms? Does the Win NT system link with communications? We've read here how a worm was found in the safety systems of a nuclear power plant. At least it's a submarine hunter and not a nuclear submarine...

  8. Audio-Cocks!!!! on JWZ Reviews Video on Linux · · Score: 1

    Fucking brilliant!
