  1. Publicity? on Shuttle Reentry Over the Continental US · · Score: 1

    This is a really neat idea since it might give NASA some much-needed good publicity. That, or it will let those in the midwest/southeast get one last good look at it i the sky before it's in museum.

  2. This isn't new? on Gmail Adds 5 Second Send Rule · · Score: 1

    Didn't AOL have a feature like this a while back? Not that I ever used AOL *cough*

  3. Hmm... on Nobel Prize Winners Live Longer · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the researchers will win a Nobel Prize for this discovery...

  4. Re:The really interesting thing... on Squid Eye for the Reflective Guy · · Score: 1

    Normal E. coli (the stuff in your intestines) is ok anywhere in your body (your body's immune system gobbles them up without a problem). The bad strain is called O157:H7. This strain produces cytotoxins similar to Shiga toxins (named after the bacteria which causes dysentery). Regular E. coli don't produce nasty toxins.

  5. God kills a kitten on RIAA Sues 12-Year Old Girl · · Score: 0

    Everytime you download an mp3, the RIAA sues a 12 year old.

  6. The Hulk on Sci-Fi Movies and 'Bad Science' · · Score: 0

    Gamma rays start with a 'G' that's why they're green.

  7. In a related story..... on SCO Says IBM is Beating Up on Them · · Score: 1, Funny

    IBM spokeswoman Trink Guarino declined to comment on McBride's allegations other than to say, "the open community is completely capable of reacting on its own to SCO's allegations."
    In a related story, Darl's vegetable garden was eaten. McBride suspects IBM rabbits were the culprit.

  8. teehee on Stimulated Gamma Decay Weapons · · Score: 5, Funny

    If I hear one more hulk joke, I'm going to get very angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

  9. Re:RTFA. on Webcams Watching The Classrooms? · · Score: 0

    RTFP. I'm saying this isn't a new thing for schools to do.

  10. Classroom Cameras on Webcams Watching The Classrooms? · · Score: 0

    A camera system like this was implemented in a school where I was working. There was one in each classroom and several in the hallways. The difference is that they weren't web enabled, they were cctv. Parents/administrators had to go into a lounge area and view the transmission from there. There was talk of making them web enabled, but the school board didn't think it was a good idea due to privacy concerns.

  11. Unprotected Software on SCO Calls IBM Countersuit "Unsubstantiated Allegations" · · Score: 0

    IBM urges its customers to use non- warranted, unprotected software. Translation: When you use linux, please wear a condom.

  12. Re:Good News on US Army Signs $471,000,000 Deal for Microsoft Software · · Score: 0

    I think suicide bombers have prior art on that one...

  13. First P on TCP/IP Connection Cutting On Linux Firewalls · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I would have gotten first post, but my firewall terminated my connection to /. :(

  14. Re:Google appliance on RIAA Grabs Student's Life's Savings · · Score: 1

    Jesse's search engine was (originally) actively probing every computer on the network port 137 looking for open shares. Then the network operations here (RPI) yelled at him for doing so and he created an "opt-in" function where you pressed a button on his website to allow his search engine to index your ip. Seems that RPI didn't have a problem with it unless it was causing a hassle to other students.

  15. Re:Are viruses lifeforms? on DNA, Fifty Years To the Day · · Score: 1

    Most (if not all) of the scientific community considers viruses to be non living. The current definition of life is: motility, reproduction (can it autonomously reproduce itself), consumption of food, growth and stimulus response. All living things subscribe to this definition. Since viruses can't move, reproduce on their own, eat, grow or respond to stimuli, they aren't alive.

  16. Re:Scientists can be Wierd on Meteor Over Midwest · · Score: 1

    Being a molecular biochemist, I hope to be ruthlessly attacked by mRNA. :-D
