  1. What? no Dilbert reference? on The Disposable Computer · · Score: 1

    Dilbert had to contend with this years ago... too lazy to find link in archive, use your imagination...

  2. So its not really a scientist on Scientists Invent Scientist · · Score: 1

    Is it, its just a very complex machine with a set number of tasks. So to continue a common thread does this mean that it will be included in future space programs. Would be useful to have automated robotic staff to build our cities before we get there! I wish to complain about the misleading comment Waiter!

  3. Re:Mangled Pratchett reference on Armageddon... in 2014. Almost. · · Score: 1

    Million to one chances happen all the time, its in the story, the way it is... Now the asteroid is at 909,000 to 1 , thats not a million to one... its not going to hit if it was a million to one then its a definate hit!

  4. Re:And posted in Askslashdot... on Armageddon... in 2014. Almost. · · Score: 5, Funny

    A windup powersource and a storage device capable of mirroring the internet, oh and some beer

  5. Saying NO on Learning to Say No in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    In my previous organisation they had a serious problem in that they were a small org that grw overnight (3 man to 25 strong). It then became difficult to support the 600 odd users in the same way as before. We were always running from one job to the next. couldn't say no. The way we worked it was to create an SLA (Service Level Agreement) with the company (each dept head) for our standard response to common events (and uncommon too). this way, once published we had a guarantee sticker that said, we dont have to do it now, but it will be done in XX hours.

  6. Re:Google IS BigBrother on Does Google = God? · · Score: 1

    Oldthinkers unbellyfeel Google as God, realise that Google goodthinkful ingsoc therefore = BB.

  7. Our space progress in a year... on Chinese Moon Base by 2012 - or 2006? · · Score: 1

    goes from Solar electric propulsion (16 month transfer)to "ISS assembly; ion-engine transfer" (30 - 45 days transfer).

    So not only do we have to build the ISS, we also need to work out how build an Ion-engine too...

    Thats a hell of a lot of progress,
    /me looks forwards to day trips on the moon when I'm old and grey.

    My internet connection is borked at the moment,
    else I would provide google links.

  8. Re:Put it online. on Finding a Tech-Friendly Novel Editor? · · Score: 1

    I hope this makes up for my transgression ;)

  9. Re:Put it online. on Finding a Tech-Friendly Novel Editor? · · Score: 1

    I like that idea the most, if you have overall control of the concept (can you copyright such a thing as a story?)
    then I could see a whole PR exercise, you release a few pages at a time and get the responses,
    and as your working on the response release a few more pages.

    Eventually you would have too much information but a very customer orientated set of notes for a story
    (a book for internet geeks?).


    I like it a lot

  10. John Sundman writes a good yarn on A Good Summer Read? · · Score: 1

    Acts of the Apostles, Tounge in cheeck techno thrilla, one of the finer points is that Saddam Hussian intended for the Gulf War to end in his defeat in order to remove Bush from Power. Funny and its a free PDF book too, at last a use for that Tablet PC! http://www.wetmachine.com/acts/index.shtml Nit

  11. Re:how about some effort on manned space travel? on Space Elevator Company Fission · · Score: 1

    I found this link, not sure how accurate any of it is, provides a little explanation about the belts nature though. http://www.thekeyboard.org.uk/Van%20Allen%20belts
