  1. Re:Aiming at the low end on iPod Jr. Rumors Become More Substantial · · Score: 1

    Yes, but I fear they will insult some of us (me) with a machine that's not really cheaper (as in less "quality"), but rather purposely dumbed-down. That's how I felt about the first iMacs; a great product that was needlessly slower than the main line, as if I shouldn't mind the difference in features and performance.

  2. Re:Some usefull links on Measuring Pollution In Humans · · Score: 1
    Bill Moyers is a political journalist, not a scientist. And the rest of those links appear equally bias as well.

    Someone please mod this guy down, or at least mod me up....

  3. NASA's solution on Shuttle Fleet Upgraded · · Score: 1
    Rather than build an entirely new vehicle for space missions, they would likely piggy-back the shuttle to some design built just to carry up the P.o.S. and bring it down so it never has to fly on its own.

    Oh God, I've given them an idea...

  4. Nobody wants to hear this on Boston's Big Dig Finally Open · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I know I am paranoid, but it's a sign of the times.

    What would a well-placed truck-bomb do in the tunnel? Wouldn't such a terrorist attack kill thousands and cause billions in damage?

    Has anyone thought of this threat and how we might counter it?

  5. Luckily, I speak Japanese on Sony Claims First Running Humanoid Robot · · Score: 3, Funny

    In the article, "QRIO??????20007323???????" translates "Shake that thang" and "??????40ms20ms???" is Japanese for "Watch yourself."

  6. Re:Interesting stat about Virginia on Virginia Arrests Man For Spamming · · Score: 1

    50% of internet traffic flows through the state, thanks to MCI and AOL being headquartered there.

    MCI, one of the worst obnoxious telemarketers of all time, and AOL who practically invented pop-up ads. Something is wrong here, and the problem is not with arresting only spammers... others belong in jail as well. (Oh well, I still love this country more than any other stupid one..... I am patriot still.)

  7. Re:What it takes to join the NSA on Interviewing with the NSA · · Score: 1

    Ned Flanders is a government agent?

  8. This will allow good population growth on Robotics + Car = Hallucigenia · · Score: 1

    We can now safely increase earth's people-capacity by 2 or 3 fold. 20 billion babies is not out-of-the-question. This is a very good thing, I believe.

  9. Re:Not the rest of their life on Maine to Launch Internet Sex-Offender Registry · · Score: 1

    It is already public record no matter what. The issue is whether to compile it in an easily accessed database.

    Further, it is important that all arrests and convictions be public, because not to do so would be the type of country like Stalin's Russia or Hitler's Germany, where people disappeared in the night without a trace, and were never seen or heard again...

  10. Re:Whatever, troll on The Incredible Shrinking Recording Studio · · Score: 1

    My friend mononoke is right. Listen to this shooster.

  11. Re:Collection of information of children under 13 on RIAA Settles With 12-Year-Old Downloader · · Score: 1

    Maybe. But I still will not allow them near my fancy chiseled walkway around the pond. You take some risk with download, even if share-option is Off.

  12. How about just selling CDs on Sunday Newspapers, Now With CDs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why not have ONLY CDs and stop killing 75,000 trees for every Sunday edition? Even better, put it all on-line and don't print a damn thing.

  13. A credit to our race on Japan, China & South Korea May Develop OS · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Developing a fully-functional and modern Operating System would be a great achievement for all of Asia, whose peoples sorely lack contribution to programming worldwide.

  14. And I'm building Condos on Jupiter's Moon on Russia Plans Martian Nuclear Station · · Score: 2, Funny
    Building spacious space-apartments on Europa and Ganymede.

    Only $10,000 down! You make payment right now, I let you pick corner room or lake-side unit.

  15. Same as doctor and politician on Recommend Apple, Lose Your Job? · · Score: 1
    Doctor wants to call you crazy, and keep you talking on couch while you bad-mouth both parents for $80 an hour.

    Politician wants to keep you in getto, living on welfare and food stamps. If you ever become a successful business man, then you won't vote no more and politicians lose their jobs.

  16. Is this Mandarin script? on Writing with Elvish Fonts · · Score: 0
    Looks like they're ripping off of Chinese.

    "\#\|???$" means "$+()?????????///;:" in Chinese, which translates to "::???????*^^\|}_**;" in elven.

    What a gyp!

  17. Listen to what Michal Jackson sing AND say on Pew Study: File Traders Don't Care About Copyright · · Score: 1


    If Michael say Billy Jean is copyright, Billy Jean is copyright. There is no debate.

  18. AC/DC is an exception, IMO on Is Louder Better? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For Those About to Rock, Back in Black, Highway to Hell... their loudest albums were about the best, generally.

  19. Why no Mac Classic? on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 Released · · Score: 0

    Is it that difficult to make a version for OS 9? I don't understand why no.

  20. Big jump from Gigaflop abacus on China Building Linux-Based 10 Teraflop Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Think how many beads we going to need for this...

  21. Why does "closeness to a known star" matter? on SETI@Home Publishes Skymap · · Score: 1

    I thought that lots of stars can't even be seen or detected? Many stars look like they're close when really they're just bright, while a dimmer star may be many times nearer compared to that brigher star...?

  22. A credit to astrology on Keeper of the Objects · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    Astrology and Astronomy are ONE. Do not listen to people who say otherwise.

    It is crucial if human kind are to avoid near-earth, super-near-earth, and way-too-near-to-earth apocalyptic meteor.

  23. Thank you Dan Goldin on Bad Testing Doomed NASA's Hypersonic X-43A · · Score: 1

    Failed probes, failed missions, failed vehicles, and 7 more astronaughts to build a stupid monument and name conference rooms after.

    But he sure did a good job changing NASA's letterhead. Glad that logo got fixed...

    His next mission? President of Boston University. I can't wait till "Faster-Better-Cheaper" filters down to the BU School of Medicine.

  24. Re:Question on Freenet 0.5.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Now, because of the way Freenet works, you have no idea what's being served from your computer at any given time -- and no way to find out since it's encrypted. So if you run Freenet on your computer, you may be hosting child porn. Can the government go after you for that? If it wants to it can. Are there good reasons to take the risk? That's up to you to decide.

    You're an idiot.

    I guess if I serve a pedophile his #2 Value Meal at the drive through, then I'm responsible for feeding his hunger so he can go commit crime all day....

  25. Re:Prize should be bigger on American Solar Challenge 2003 Starts · · Score: 1

    another huge cost is the energy needed to run the factories that produce the new vehicles/parts is huge.

    Solar power factory should be built by solar power construction company, using solar power android worker.
