  1. I, for one on NASA Launches Giant Magnifying Glass Into Space · · Score: 1

    Welcome our new insect-overlord-destroying overlords.

    Seriously, something along the lines of your comment was the first thing I thought of when I saw the story.

    Not sure what that makes me, but what the hell...

  2. Re:Seven years for eight hours work on Novell Wins vs. SCO · · Score: 1

    Darl has been gone for a while -- the BK court appointed a trustee to run SCOXQ, but the trustee seems to have drunk the Kool-Aid, too.

  3. Re:Corporate sponsorship... on How Do You Land a Nuke-Powered Mini-Cooper On Mars? · · Score: 1

    To be precise, it isn't trigonometry at all. You have specified nothing about any angles, their sines, or their cosines.

  4. Re:Show of hands... on How Do You Land a Nuke-Powered Mini-Cooper On Mars? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't he have to turn in his Stargate:Atlantis card as well?

    I hope there are no cats on Mars...

  6. Re:-1.5? on Could Colorblindness Cure Be Morally Wrong? · · Score: 1

    Really nice. I had PRK, not LASIK (my corneas are too thin, for that, apparently).

    I can now drive without glasses. Only downside? I now occasionally need reading glasses for small print.
    However, I can use $15 off-the-shelf readers, a big change from $400 prescription lenses.

  7. -1.5? on Could Colorblindness Cure Be Morally Wrong? · · Score: 1

    Cue the old Yorkshireman...

    Seriously... I was -7.5 OD and -6.5 OS, before my PRK, not to mention the severe astigmatism. Pre-surgery, I would have killed to be -1.5.

  8. Re:I would just like to add... on NASA Gives Mars Rover Extra Smarts · · Score: 1

    Then NASA (Need Another Seven Astronauts) would get HUGE funding to track multiple SUBERSIVEs.

    Nah. NASA could just let South Carolina do it.

  9. Re:4 to 20 minutes for data to travel ? on NASA Gives Mars Rover Extra Smarts · · Score: 1

    Google for "quantum entanglement" instead.

  10. Re:What a bastard on Neptune May Have Eaten a Planet and Stolen Its Moon · · Score: 1, Funny

    They'll fix you guys! The name will soon be changed to Urectum!

  11. Re:...Or an arms race on SSD Price Drops Signaling End of Spinning Media? · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah. Right. I really want to access my main storage over a 768Kb/384Kb connection.

    No fucking chance until broadband is widely accessible. And of course, your machine is useless without a net connection (e.g. travelling).

  12. Re:The blue screen of death... on Bill Gates May Build Small Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    Great. Now billg will have the bomb!

  13. Re:sounds risky on Senate Votes To Replace Aviation Radar With GPS · · Score: 1

    They're not geosync, they're in LEO, so they pass over all parts of the world.

  14. Re:Xzibit!! on Quantum State Created In Largest Object Yet · · Score: 1

    Pimp my quantum ride?

  15. Re:two chicks at the same time on Quantum State Created In Largest Object Yet · · Score: 2, Funny

    [to the tune of "Home on the Range"]

    Oh give me a clone
    Of my own flesh and bone
    With the Y chromosome changed into X
    And when we're alone
    Since her mind is my own
    She'll be thinking of nothing but sex

    Did he finally come out of the closet?

  17. ObFuturama on Quantum State Created In Largest Object Yet · · Score: 1

    No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!

  18. Re:Dude, where's my car? on Lord British's Lost Lunar Rover Found, After 37 Years · · Score: 1

    Actually, no. It's a Dude, Where's My Car? reference.

  24. Re:Other lessons from Boeing on Toyota Acceleration and Embedded System Bugs · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Flight software is DO-178B. Is there ANY sort of standard for automotive software?

    The best I could find with Google is MISRA.
