  1. Re:So... on Fighting Cancer With The Common Cold? · · Score: 1

    They'd probably put the patient on an immuno-suppressant during the course of the treatment, and keep them in a sterile environment for that period.

    Unless of course they figure out some way to stop the body fighting the virus.

  2. How to totally silence your PC on A Practical Approach To Shushing Your PC · · Score: 2, Funny

    I found this one out just yesterday Step 1: Press the "Off" button until the screen goes blank.

  3. Re:Always a loser... on Farewell To The Concorde · · Score: 1

    I live right under the flight path, and I find the whole window-rattling rumble aspect rather impressive.

  4. BULLSHIT! on How a Computer Case Is Built · · Score: 1

    "You will notice in some of the pictures the employees are not wearing proper protective equipment. This is most evident in the paint booths and in spot/projection welding processes. This was the employees' choice, as they wanted to be "seen" in our pictures without their masks or goggles. Once my camera appeared, everyone wanted to be included in the photos for this article, and my presence generated a lot of attention and excitement. Chenbro does provide proper safety equipment for their employees and they are required to wear it -- except when an American with a camera is snapping their photos. We were all over the factory with a camera for two days, so the "word" spread that it was a photo op. As you can see, the Chenbro employees loved having their picture taken." I can almost hear the briefcases full of money clicking open.

  7. Hmmmm on More on European Software Patents · · Score: 5, Informative

    The patents might not have so much effect in Europe, as patents take 7-10 years to be granted, and there is a 9 month period in which objections to the patent can be voiced before a patent is granted.

  19. Duron on Intel Celeron 2.2GHz Reviewed · · Score: 1

    What would be more sensible is not only a comparison to the old PIII, but a comparison with AMD's equivalent (eg. Duron).
