  1. Re:Do we wait, or what? on Commission Says NASA Failed on Shuttle Safety · · Score: 1

    Just to be clear, I don't count the Challenger because it was a problem with a poorly sealed external gas tank.

  2. Re:Do we wait, or what? on Commission Says NASA Failed on Shuttle Safety · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The shuttle flew for years without any burnups or crashes.

    Wow, you lost ONE after decades of GOING INTO SPACE where meteor showers and solar flares are always possible, and then returning to earth WHILE YOUR SHIP'S OUTSIDE IS HEATED TO THOASANDS OF DEGREES while trying to land a "flying brick" on a landing strip built on a fricken marsh.

    I guess I'm not really phased.

  3. Re:First to find.... on Google Adds Satellite Imagery for the World · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I found some weapons.

    Oops! Those WMDs are the USA.

  4. Re:waste power on Distributed Computing on Next Gen Consoles · · Score: 1

    Power plants are more efficient than you think. And no, gigawatts of power are not being wasted since many machines would be on 24/7 anyway.

    Why can't OSS just pick a name and stick to it?

  7. Why a spacesuit? on Using an Old Space-Suit as a Satellite · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What does a spacesuit have that a box of quarter inch steel plate doesn't? I bet the suit weighs alot more and I KNOW the electronics dont need a human atmosphere.

  8. Re:My requirements before I buy a (H)DTV on FCC Speeds Up Digital TV Signal Deadlines · · Score: 1

    No way any of the new digital sets will last you 11 years.

    I spent the good money on my HDTV and they say it will only last a few years before it burns out or something :(

  9. Re:"off the air"? on FCC Speeds Up Digital TV Signal Deadlines · · Score: 1

    All off the air. My set has a special digital channel browser that shows me the name and a description. It's really cool. From what I know the digital "protocol" allows for losts of different data to be sent witt the signal.

  10. Faster on FCC Speeds Up Digital TV Signal Deadlines · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I hope they also mandated them to include metadata in their broadcasts.

    If you dont know digital sets are able to recieve special content like the name of the program all off the air.

  11. Re:faster, how? on Rail Guns Closer to Reality · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked all the galaxies were moving away from eachother?

    Stop it! You are going to make Slashdot Slashdot itself!

  13. Re:Anti-Virus on McAfee, Macromedia Flirting With F/OSS Community · · Score: 1

    It's also has alot more bloat and has a bad interface. If you are a windows tech, you know that McAfee are the fking antichrist. I've seen so many computers fked up by McAfee I don't even point and laugh at the boxes in the store anymore.

  14. Re:Anti-Virus on McAfee, Macromedia Flirting With F/OSS Community · · Score: 1

    I have my server run it every 3 hours.

    Once something is on the internet it never leaves. The more you agitate the more deeply and known it goes.

    Run out in the middle of a 50 MPH expressway? Natural Selection.

  18. Re:widescreen? on Archos Widescreen PMP · · Score: 1

    I was refering to SIZE not ratio.

  19. widescreen? on Archos Widescreen PMP · · Score: -1

    If you think 480x234 pixels is somehow "widescreen" I don't think you have ever seen a widescreen.

  20. Mice on Will Next-Gen Consoles Kill Off PC Gaming? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Consoles will have kill PC gaming not because of what they can do, but because of what they lack: A mouse. Microsoft has said it has no intension of making one and I think I heard Sony say the same. If you are a gamer you know that first person shooters are pretty much unplayable on consoles. The only way I'm buying UT 2007 on an xbox is if they have a mouse with it. How the hell am I supposed to aim across the map with a fking analog stick?

  21. Tell me again on Will Next-Gen Consoles Kill Off PC Gaming? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    ...Why video cards cost 400 dollars when you can get a WHOLE CONSOLE with DVD drive and custom hardware for the same price?

    Yeah, but's it's still cool to impress my grand father.

    Take that, best generation!

  23. Re:Which cheap PC? on Cheap Solid State Computers Could Kill Microsoft · · Score: 1
    I think they are refering to the more general cheap-ass PC market.

    I know the 200 dollar computers at my local Frys are selling quite well.

  24. Re:Not that likely... on Cheap Solid State Computers Could Kill Microsoft · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Last time I checked th 50 billion in their pockets could keep Microsoft running for 30 years without making a single dime.
