  1. Re:Dupe.. on Second Test of X-43A Scramjet Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    heh not too new.. but now i realize why so many people turn to trolling..

  2. Re:Dupe.. on Second Test of X-43A Scramjet Tomorrow · · Score: 0, Redundant

    what in the hell is with the mods? this is seriously getting out of hand.. the article was posted yesterday people..

  3. Dupe.. on Second Test of X-43A Scramjet Tomorrow · · Score: 5, Informative
  4. Ok.. on .mail Domain To Eliminate Spam? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I'm not really into the idea of splitting up the entire net into all these tlds. I dont want my mail server being so easily identified as such.

  5. Hmm.. on Probable Meteor Strike in Saskatchewan · · Score: 1, Funny

    Why is it meteors always manage to strike the most boring and barren places around?

    But, it's probably for the better this way...

  6. Sweet.. on Web Server Stress Testing : Tutorial /Review · · Score: 1

    No more trial and error for this guy. What I would do is purchase large amounts of traffic, tweak, then gradually work my way up to larger and larger numbers.

    Not only does this save time, but hey, it saves money.

  7. Wait! on The Unhappy World of IT Professionals · · Score: 1, Funny

    My boss just took the next two months off. I'd like to change my vote please.

  8. Uh.. on Bangladeshi Liberation War Gets FPS Treatment · · Score: 1, Interesting

    So now I'm guessing we wait for pakistan to condemn the game..

    After all, the chinese didnt like C&C Generals all that much..

  9. Man oh man.. on Trekkie Communicators Now a Reality · · Score: 5, Funny

    Scotty at work is really going to hate me...

  10. I'm sure.. on War of the Worlds Remake · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This will be a pretty big hit with todays audience. It's just too bad (or maybe a good thing) that it wont have the same effect as it did when it was originally aired over the radio.

  11. Well.. on The ROBOlympic Games · · Score: 5, Insightful

    One event called Ribbon Climber, in which robots race up a carbon-fibre ribbon, was designed to inspire 'space elevator' technology that might one day lift satellites into orbit.

    It's nice to see they added this event in to draw a little more attention to the space elevator. I personally would rather build a robot to compete in that competition than the fighting ones. It may be a little easier, plus, you're helping towards a cause that would benifit us all, not building a robot purely to smash other things (which is still pretty cool).

  12. hmm.. on Examining New York's Bioresearch Laboratory · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Where is Pauly Shore when you need him...

  13. So... on Rocket Fuel Speeds Transistors · · Score: 1

    The end of CRT?

    And does this increase the refresh rate of the monitor?

  14. Re:Question... on Nintendo DS to Feature Instant Messaging? · · Score: 1

    Touche.

    Very true..

  15. Question... on Nintendo DS to Feature Instant Messaging? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm wondering if it will get to the point when we can just buy a 'Game Card' so to speak. Somewhat like an Xbox/PS2/GC PCI/AGP card containing the console itself, otherwise our living rooms are just going to get more and more clustered. Dont get me wrong, I'm all for touchscreens, IM, etc.. but we already have most of the hardware needed for it sitting at home now.

    Anyone else think pcs/consoles will ever become one? Or am I just crazy...

  16. Really... on Junkie Loves His Spam · · Score: 5, Funny

    There is only so much male enhancement products a man can buy.

    They seem to be the only spam i've been getting lately. Maybe my wife is feeding them my email addresses...

  17. Uh.. on End of Online Anonymity in Canada? · · Score: 5, Funny

    What? End of my anonymity? But I just paid $199 for my computer to stop broadcasting an ip address!

  18. You know what they say... on The Family That Spams Together Stays Together · · Score: 3, Funny

    Spam doesnt fall far from the spam tree.

  19. Personally.. on Unicast Claims Success With Internet Commercials · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I dont mind the ads so much, as long as audio does not come on right away in them.

    Also, these people need to understand a lot of people are going mobile now, and with b/w usage fees, people are going to be getting hefty bills from their mobile providers. Also, people with internet with very low caps pay over for usage, and probably arent expecting that the news sites they read are feeding them 2mb ads.

  20. Oh great.. on Yarn Spun from Nanotubes · · Score: 5, Funny


    So next time someone snaps my picture., my sweater will explode.

    Very amusing...

  21. Well.. on Spirit Takes Snapshot of Earth · · Score: 4, Funny

    You have to love the "You are here" caption on that image of earth from mars.

    Who says nasa scientists dont have a sense of humor.

  22. Well.. on Can Software Kill? · · Score: 1

    It's the human error factor.

    Short of the software making an intelligent decision to kill, it always comes back to us.

  23. Around here.. on Apple Tests Well in Education · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The public school board offers a curriculum which involves all students to have a laptop, specifically an iBook. Apparently the kids take rather well to them too. When I was speaking to one of their techs, he told me they recieve less calls for help since they've made the mac 'switch'.

    I would have assumed it'd be the other way around, since the kids were already used to windows.

  24. Deep web? on Searching the 'Deep Web' · · Score: 4, Funny

    Doesnt crap sink? Not sure I want to know what the other 90-odd percent is. After tubgirl, goatse, etc.. what else could possibly be next..

  25. Well.. on Coffee is a "Health Drink" · · Score: 4, Funny

    The only health benifits I can see at my office would be for my co-workers.

    Since it's their health that's in jeopardy if I dont get my coffee.
