  1. Re:Great... on Star Trek's Synthehol Now Possible? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sorry if I seem a tad against the idea... but I think alchohol is a waste of time and money that could better be used to improve oneself and the society in which they live.

    The same could be said about Slashdot but you still post in here.

  2. Please dupe on AI Researchers Produce New Kind of PC Game · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Please dupe this article when there's a torrent available and the Linux version is finished.
    Until then it's quite useless.

  3. Re:Well great! on New .XXX Top Level Domain · · Score: 1

    ##Anyone care to tell me what a .cat TLD is for?
    #Sure. It is the top level domain Catalunya (Catalonia, a nation within Spain) has requested.


    Not exactly.

    .cat is the domain for the Catalan culture. (Not limited to the boundaries of the nation within Spain)

    The domain for the Catalunya should be .ct a 2 letters domain like the rest of territorial domains.

  5. Re:Quick? on Three New Microsoft Bulletins · · Score: 1

    I love when Michael posts every little bulletin from Microsoft to make it appear that it's ridden with security holes.
    I love it too.

    What if Windows allowed arbitrary code execution just from viewing a PDF file?
    Actually Windows should allow that too... if you were running the not-latest version of xpdf in Windows somehow.

    The differences are that the xpdf vulnerability was fixed in a day, here we're talking about a issue that took 10 days to work around and 3 months to fix.

    And also xpdf isn't a crucial part of the OS.

    2 huge differences for you, KTHX

  11. Re:Here and now? on Robert Zubrin's Mars Gashopper Airplane · · Score: 1

    Ok, weight should be expressed in Newtons like any other force.

    F = m * a
    Just multiply for 9,8 here in Earth and for 9,8 * 3/8 (or whatever) in Mars.

  15. Re:Modded Interesting?? on Zero-emission Power Plants Proposed · · Score: 1

    Give me a break! Coal power plants do not produce radioactive waste.

    Releases from coal combustion contain naturally occurring radioactive materials--mainly, uranium and thorium.

    Trace quantities of uranium in coal range from less than 1 part per million (ppm) in some samples to around 10 ppm in others. Generally, the amount of thorium contained in coal is about 2.5 times greater than the amount of uranium. For a large number of coal samples, according to Environmental Protection Agency figures released in 1984, average values of uranium and thorium content have been determined to be 1.3 ppm and 3.2 ppm, respectively.

    to help identify the corpses

    Sir, you should refer to the Yakolev-42 accident which caused the death of 62 spanish militars the 26th of May of 2003 (which surely were carrying identifications... being in the military)

    One year later, the buried corpses had to undergo DNA tests to correctly identify them.
    Something that the ones incinerated by the wrong familiars couldn't do...

    Half of the corpses were found to be misidentified in the first place.

    Will they (the distros) waken tomorrow to realize that their jobs just got 80% harder?

    But that's already distribution's job... their customers pay them to fix problems, and that fixes revert to vanilla.

    With this new scenario distributions just have to speed sending patches back to vanilla if they want to be able to get a future version of it in acceptable shape.
