  1. Re:They should buy popops. on Firefox New York Times Ad, Soon · · Score: 1

    And it works, since people apparently click everything they see.

  2. Re:How they become? on The Illiteracy of Corporate American E-Mail · · Score: 1

    It's weird. As terrible as my English is, it's still better than what the article showed. But, if I'm not good at English, at least I have an excuse: It's merely my second language, and not even a second official language in my country.

  3. Re:Is Firefox unethical? on Firefox Users Bad For Advertisers · · Score: 1

    Well they get money only when you click, right? So does that mean it's unethical to never click? Is it unethical to switch the channel or go make a sandwich when there's a commercial break on TV?

  4. a dream come true on Live to be 1000 Years Old? · · Score: 1

    If they can make it so that I can live for thousands of years and still be youthful as I am today, that would basically make one of my dreams come true. I really really hope this will be possible before I die, but I am not too sure.

  5. memories on IBM Puts PC Business Up for Sale · · Score: 1

    I remember the old IBM 386 at my high school. Robust things, a giant box and small screen and a big clunky keyboard... not to mention the mouse, a big unergonomic and heavy object with clunky buttons as well. Ah, those were the days.

  6. Re:Japans "CareBots"... on In Japan, Old People Talk to Robots · · Score: 1
    In 1992, my Hard Disk was 20 Megs, and it was not sufficient. Today, it is 120 Gigs, and it ALSO is not enough.

    Maybe if you used both?

  7. Re:Heh... then you'll love this. on Top Ten Persistent Design Flaws · · Score: 1

    You should use non-metric units. It's more fun to see road signs inform you about speed limits using furlongs/fortnight.

  8. Re:From that mysterious text called the article: on Top Ten Persistent Design Flaws · · Score: 1
    Only now their in the OS!!

    What you say !!

  9. Re:Reverse dates on Top Ten Persistent Design Flaws · · Score: 1

    It's also the only system that makes sense. Every time I see someone use another system that goes like 02/03/04, I always have to ask myself, what was the order in that system again? March 2nd, 2004? February 3rd, 2004? March 4th, 2002?

  10. Re:Why don't they just work? on Buggy Voting Machines · · Score: 1

    Indeed sounds like something you do in high school as one of the assignments.

  11. Re:Expensive launch mass? on NASA's Deep Impact · · Score: 1

    Paris Hilton and me at the Hilton in Paris in France?

  12. Re:$311 million!! on NASA's Deep Impact · · Score: 1

    Spending $311 million to satisfy the curiousity of humankind is a tiny price compared to the hundreds of billions we spend on the military every year, globally.

  13. Re:America is a continent... not a country on Intel Helping Asia to Use Linux · · Score: 1
    Poland blocks EU software patent directive

    Without Poland's backing, those countries that supported the proposal in May now fall short of a qualified majority in the Council of Ministers.

    Lacking a qualified majority, the draft will be referred back to the Council, which will have to come up with a new draft to put before the European Parliament next month.

  14. Re:power of prayer on 15-Year-Old Girl Survives Rabies Infection · · Score: 1

    God only seems to get credit for the bad things he didn't do. For example, if there's an earthquake that kills thousands and leaves most of the city in ruins, and if they find an alive 5 year-old child in the rubble, then it's the work of god that he survived. If a tornado kills hundreds, but a family somewhere is found not dead, it's proof that there is an all-loving god. Yes, thank you god, for not killing me. Oh, the other thousands who died? Eh, they simply didn't believe in fairytales as much as I did. Thank you god, for saving my life. The rescue workers and paramedics and the doctors, nurses and skilled surgeons? Well, god worked through them... yes, that's how it was.

  15. Re:I'm not disappointed on Report: Broadband In US Homes Nearly 20 Percent · · Score: 1
    To me it means that many Americans have decided that they have priorities other than the Internet. Good for them!

    Does that mean they had the option of broadband but consciously chose not to have it? Or that they just couldn't have it even though they want it?

  16. doesn't matter... on New Atomic Clock 1000 Times More Accurate · · Score: 1

    ...I'll be late for work anyway.

  17. cool on Soviet Space Battle Station Images Published · · Score: 1

    Thanks for this info. Very very interesting, especially for me, I'm very interested in the Soviet space programme - maybe because it was so secret.

  18. Re:Sixty THOUSAND miles into space? on Space Elevator Prototype Climbs MIT Building · · Score: 1

    And such an elevator is realistic? Even if it could be built it seems like a waste as it would be rather useless.

  19. Re:Slashdot vs Firefox on Firefox News Roundup · · Score: 1

    Yes it does.

  20. inspired by Britannica on Ex-Britannica Editor Reviews Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    I've seen articles at Wikipedia that uses lots of information from the Encyclopaedia Britannica from 1910, since the copyright is apparently expired.

  21. definitely worht thinking about on Ex-Britannica Editor Reviews Wikipedia · · Score: 1
    He has many good points, and my first question as I read his review was "how long before someone cleans up that Hamilton article?" :)

    I believe that the Wikipedia approach works like evolution, that is what works stays and the other stuff goes or is edited. The end result will be a growing, more perfect Encyclopedia.

  22. Re:Dishes ARE Telescopes! on An Interplanetary Laser Communications System · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes they're all the same without difference. Everything is light. That is why they are using visible EMR instead of X-rays in hospitals. It's all the same and should be called the same!

  23. Re:Interesting ... on Ion-Engine Spacecraft On Moon Mission · · Score: 1

    Ion propulsion is done by Japan as well, on their latest asteroid sample return mission. Soviet experimented with ion thrusters back in the 60's. Also don't forget the current Rosetta mission - the first probe to land on a comet. And as for Venus we have Venus Express, Mercury we're collaborating with Japan on the Bepi-Colombo. Also, within the frameworks for the Aurora programme, ESA is working on a Mars rover and a Mars sample return mission.

  24. LEGO on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    Lego, no question. I've played with it for as long as I can remember. I liked it all, city, space, mideaval and of course technic.

  25. of course it's a threat on Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE · · Score: 1

    If companies realise they want to have their computers a little more safe from the almost weekly virus attacks, then they will switch to Firefox. Same with the average person - as soon as they hear about it and dare to try it.
