    What if the plastic gets tangled in the wheels? What if they melt onto the panel in the sun, and then the arm tries to pull them off, destroying the solar panels? The people who designed this had reasons for everything they did.

  3. Re:450 watts? on Cassini-Huygens Saturn Orbit Insertion Imminent · · Score: 0

    Wow, thanks for giving me the heads-up. I thought my 2.4c pentium4 system was stable, what with almost no crashes, but now I know better. Its measely 350 watt supply couldn't possibly be fully powering it.

    There is no reason to need a 450 or higher psu unless one of two things happens:

    1) You buy a cheap psu. They can't handle loads up to their rating. Your 450 watt cheapie is worse than my 350 watt antec psu.

    2) Your computer costs more than your house. Dual processors, every drive bay full, latest nvidia cards running in sli, etc, etc.

  15. Re:Reliable? on Sony Develops 25 GB Paper Disc · · Score: 0

    My favorite is to spin the disk up to about 10k rpm on a dremel. Then, take an exacto knife, and grind the foil off the disk like its a lathe. Your sensitive data is now a fine dust on the floor, and you have a clear frisbee that you can throw at people.

  21. Re:Don't mind fiddling? on What Differentiates Linux from Windows? · · Score: 1, Informative

    Format your computer completely, reinstall windows. Don't install any crap software. Scan for viruses. Run adaware. Defrag fairly often (leave the computer on overnight, and set it to run at 2am). And the biggest way to make windows run well... use the latest versions of drivers.

    I do that on my computer. I leave it on for weeks at a time. I have never had a virus last more than a few seconds (tell norton to scan the filesystem constantly). I have only had a handful of single program crashes, and the system has never completely frozen.
