    'The researchers still are working on building a helium-3 reactor that would produce more energy than it takes in.'

    Great. So we've got our power problem on the moon solved for a bit. What about getting that power back to earth. Oh yeah. nevermind.

    I passed exam 640-801 in one try, with no real networking experience and having taken no classes.

  11. Re:Um on Space Tug to Save the Hubble? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Here's the problem: No one wanted their satellites back. By the time their fuel was spent, they were old technology that would be replaced by a new satellite.

    What is it about this comment that make me think of commercials for eBay?

    ::cue music:: For a lawnmower blade to cut your grass or a satellite that's out of gas, use eBay! Use eBay! For a Beagle that has missed his mark or a spark plug wire that wouldn't spark - Use eBay! ::/cue music::

  14. Evade Blocking Software on Pop-Up Ads Lead to Consumer Revolt, Ad-Blocking · · Score: 2, Informative

    DoubleClick says that it is 'developing technology that will enable pop-up ads to evade the blocking software.'

    And on a completely unrelated note, DoubleClick's stock price dropped today, an astounding 53%.

    It's sad, because they just don't get it (tm).

    everyone is so quick to point out the 69%.
    so cool!

    i'm trying to figure out the other 31%. three out of ten adults have never used the internet.

    "Yeah, that whole internet thing... i mean, i've heard about it, but don't really know what it's all about. something about some dots and coms. the whole thing just seems too confusing to me!" Annie Jenkins, domestic engineer, 37 y.o. - part of the other 31%.

  17. Chewbacca Strikes Back? on Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Rumors · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "The actor who played Chewbacca in the original Star Wars trilogy, Peter Mayhew, will be in Episode III. Of course, this has been previously reported and comes as no surprise. However, TheForce is reporting that Mayhew's contract contains a stipulation that he must also appear in Episodes 7, 8, and 9.

    Why bother with him then? If ever a character could be played by someone else it would be Chewbacca! No recognizable voice, or face, or anything. Just a 6'6" guy in a wookie costume with sound effects added in after the fact. I don't mean to be rude to Mr. Mayhew, but what leveridge does he have?

  18. I can see it now... on Windows that Double as LCD Monitors · · Score: 1

    The AP has a story about the windows of the future they can go from clear to opaque and the can also act as an LCD TV or Computer Monitor.

    No!! It's not what you think! It's a website!!!

  19. Probably redundant - got to this one late on USA To Return To Moon By 2015, Then Mars · · Score: 1

    But isnt it funny that presidents always set these goals for well after their terms? By 2015 Bush will be out of the Oval Office, with a best selling book, and he can blame america's not getting back to the moon on our next PHB commander in chief.

  22. Re:No Offsite Built-in, etc. on Review of the Mirra Home Backup System · · Score: 1

    i'd wager that failed hard discs are more common than fires, floods and leaks. i've had several ibm deathstars drop on me.

    never had a fire or flood in my house, though.

    i just hope that the hard disk in this product is better than the one it's supposed to back up.

  23. Re:Because Dell says so! on Dell Throws In For The +R/+RW Standard · · Score: 1

    My point? Average Joe Luddite won't care until he arrives at home with the incorrect media and gets pissed off.

    Or has the right media, but it won't play on his set top dvd player.

  24. Gotta Bridge For You Too! on Warning: Exploding Batteries · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Ok. Those batteries you have there are unsafe. They could catch on fire or even explode!
