  1. loose ist priveleged position on Top Advisory Panel Warns Erosion of U.S. Science · · Score: 0

    it 'could soon loose its privileged position.' not before the editor looses his job....

  2. Re:Launch window on Successful Supersonic Jet Launch · · Score: 0

    and i thought cheetah's were supposed to be the fastest cats on the planet, but if those things can run 1000km in a week, i think they get the crown.

  3. dark age on The Digital Dark Age · · Score: 5, Funny

    They'll take it to that crazy old guy in the corner house with uncut grass in his lawn, for he was once a great programming guru and has a ton of still functioning archaic equipment that requires insanely large amounts of power.

  4. Re:Simple question: on Hydrogen Generating Module to Help Your Car? · · Score: 0

    $7500 for an introductory product to be installed in large fleet vehicles such as busses and tractor-trailer trucks which would potentially save that much after 8 months...sounds like a damned good deal to me. by the time that they hit ordinary consumers, they'll likely cost 10-20% of that and be much smaller. and with the money saved in the long run, they could still invest in reforestation, fuel cell and other long term technologies that won't do a thing to help the environment in the short term.

  7. Re:Let's do a Slashdot ISP rating. on PC World's ISP Service Rankings, as of June 2005 · · Score: 0

    i use cox because it is provided as part of my lease in my apartment, and because Bellsouth DSL is the only other alternative in my area. I'd give Cox a 4, and Bellsouth maybe a 3, but I had TimeWarner (now Brighthouse) RoadRunner in my former location, and i'd have to give them at least a 9, cuz the price was competitive, the service was rock solid, the speed was good, and i never actually dealt with the customer service after the installation. Also, I tried Verizon DSL there, and the price was higer for slower connections, and when any kind of rainstorm would hit (which happens every day in Florida), the connection would get reset. I give them a 3.

  8. Re:OGG player on Review of iRiver iFP-899 · · Score: 0

    I have a Yepp! YP-MT6 which i bought for about $100 at best buy, its specs are very similar to the iRiver, 'cept its only 512MB, but it plays ogg flawlessly, encodes mp3 on the fly, fm tuner with lotsa presets, built in mic, and a nice backlit display. for the price, i couldn't be happier, and it works as any other flash drive for transferring files, so it isn't limited to any one OS.

    Just imagine when ILM or Pixar gets their hands on a few of these, they'll finally get the processing time down to less than a year per film.

  10. Feature on Netscape 8 Breaks IE XML · · Score: 0

    They should start advertising this as a security feature, not a bug. With IE broken, you won't get as many spyware or viruses.

  12. Re:Viewing Order on Review: Star Wars Episode III · · Score: 1, Funny

    wow, thats the same firing order as the spark plugs in my trucks engine have... but as far as the viewing order, i think i would just omit episode 1 from the list completely and read a review for it.

  13. Re:A shame on Enterprise Finale Airing Tonight · · Score: 0

    actually it floundered due to poor scheduling, even most sci-fi geeks aren't home friday night at 8pm, which is why Firefly was cancelled as well.
