  1. Would I be breaking the law....? on Metroid Prime Trilogy Being Updated For the Wii, Due In August · · Score: 1

    Would I be breaking some law if I covered up the sensor with some paper towel or anything else?

  2. Re:Not as bad as it sounds on Smile! Urine Candid Camera! · · Score: 1

    How do you know the poster wasn't female in the first place? Aren't you just as guilty in furthering the joke, and stereotype by your response?

  3. "...still grates." What does this mean? on Metroid Prime Trilogy Being Updated For the Wii, Due In August · · Score: 1

    "Although the control interface isn't perfect, pressing down on the D-pad to fire missiles still grates, it makes the GameCube titles feel much faster and more fluid overall." What does the author mean by "still grates"?

  4. Re:So, I used a calc on the impact on Small Asteroid To Buzz Earth · · Score: 1

    Major Global Changes: The Earth is not strongly disturbed by the impact and loses negligible mass.

    How the hell could the Earth lose mass from absorbing space rocks in the first place? Loses = gains?

  5. Re:The real point is... on What Makes Software Development So Hard? · · Score: 1

    "The software development company that teats its programmers golden is the rare exception..."

    No kidding! I have never heard of a software development company that let's the golden teats loose on the programmers! I would code in Turbo Pascal with that job perk!

  6. Re:Can we still ping it? on Voyager 1 Passes 100 AU from the Sun · · Score: 1

    Are you thinking about the Pioneer Space Probes? Here is a link to an article on the BBC that I think you might be thinking of: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1332368.stm

  7. Re:The Perceived Threat of Science on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 1

    I would disagree with what you say. Truth is a fundamental concept in math, and Math is a science; however, that does not mean that truth is a fundamental concept of all science. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. Truth in math has been predefined by the discipline, so you know once you reach it. However, in the rest of science, facts do not always lead to the truth. In 'fact' (get it?) facts often lead to the "untruth". I can't see how facts and truth in math is the same things like you seam to be claiming, nor how truths can exist in sciences that are not predefined, such as in mathematics.

  8. Re:Why stop at a bridge? on Stephen Colbert vs The Hungarian Government · · Score: 1

    I know what you're saying about the Turkey, I slipped on the Greece, and broke China.

  9. Re:APM Telesync on BitTorrent Blamed for Matrix2 Downloads · · Score: 1

    When I finished the download I ended up with some .cue and .bin files. What do I do with these?

  10. What I would like to see... on Mid-Air Messages To Your Mobile · · Score: 1

    is this system used to send out vital information to the public about say, the licence plate number of a van seen kidnapping a little child in your area earlier that day, with a request to call the police if you see it. Waiting for the 6 o'clock news to spread the word usually doesn't cut it.

  11. Re:Jet fighters and Missle Defense on Where Should Space Exploration Go From Here? · · Score: 1

    Uh, if I am not mistaken are not all the "micro computers" that we all enjoy, and use today largely a result of the pressure that space program put on for faster computers to aid in the flight of rockets/the shuttle?

    If you ask me that is bigger then a jet engine, or an application for laser technology, after all the computer affects almost all aspects of our lives. The Raptors engine does not.

  12. Re:What it said: on Whisper Heard From Pioneer 10 · · Score: 5, Interesting
    My bad I accidently replied to this somewhere else, so this is a duplicate post by me.... Anyways:

    "Pioneer has also been used to inspect a very odd gravity anomally, also found in other probes. Nobody has found a way to account for it using known physics. It is a small force, but consitent."

    If anyone else wanted to know a little bit more what Tablizer was talking about here is some info on BBC.
