    Oops, I guess you already realize that. I failed to read your subject line. My fault.

  6. Re:Mockup G5 Pictures on Apple Marketing Hypes New PowerMacs · · Score: 1

    Take a close look at the picture- it's just a photoshopped G4 PowerMac. Mirror optical drive doors have been changed to grey, and the "handles" at the top and bottom have been cropped out.

    Why pay for the subscription. I'd rather hack her backdoor

  8. Re:Software on Linux Rocket Blasts Off This Fall · · Score: 1

    as an aerospace engineer and rocket hobbyist I agree. It is the fabrication that is the real bitch.

  9. I realize you are joking... on Linux Rocket Blasts Off This Fall · · Score: 5, Interesting

    (and it is funny, by the way), but this attitude is not far from the truth. I happen to be a member of Tripoli (one of the associations that governs high power rocketry) and we currently have a letter writing campaign going on. The government is trying to make it harder for us hobbyist to get engines over certain power ratings. I guess they fear someone using these engines to power guided rockets. This is kinda silly, as most terrorist have access to better weaponry, ie Stinger missles. Of course, the gov is also afraid that the terrorist do all there planning on the internet, too.

    No, but they did specifically design this:

  16. Re:Legal use? on Kazaa Says On Track to Be Most-Downloaded Program · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Don't worry. RIAA will by a couple key politicians and eventually get a law passed outlawing P2P for any purpose. I agree, this is too bad, P2P has many legal uses.

    I still use an SGI, an Indigo2, to do visual database modelling for an aviation training facility. Great machine- even as old as it is it can still do things you could not think of doing with an Intel machine.

    Well, these are the same type of people who told us that there was a lone gun man who killed JFK.

  23. Re:What about classic cartoons? on The Disappearance of Saturday Morning · · Score: 1

    As far as a morale footnote goes, the cartoons we grew up on (Bugs, RoadRunner) did have one- but it was not rammed down your throat. While those cartoon (Loony Tunes) were extremely funny, I did learn things like- brain power can beat brawn and get you out of tricky situations (Bugs Bunny), never giving up in the face of defeat (Wile Coyote), and losing your temper usually gets you nowhere (Yosemite Sam). The main difference, to me, between the older cartoons and your He-Man and its ilk, is that the moral message was delivered humoursly. You can't laugh at He Man.
