  1. Re:In other news.... on Software Bug Causes Soyuz To Land Way Off · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've already got it...

    I can't even lauch my rocket now ...

    I press the launch button and it starts to fire up the engine but then the engine falls of and the rocket breaks apart...

    Do you know when they're going to release the patch for the patch?

  2. Update, Update, Update ... on What's Your Timeline for IPv6 Migration? · · Score: 1

    We already have to update everything every 26 seconds because something doesn't work (especially in windows) so why would anyone want to upgrade something that is working just fine

    Don't fix it if it ain't broken (unless your in the handyman's paradise ... Texas, were everything needs FIXIN')

  3. What's IPv6? on What's Your Timeline for IPv6 Migration? · · Score: 1

    I don't know much about it ... but, I do know enough that I'm going to pretend that I've never heard of it until there is a good reason to start using it.

    What good would it do if I was the only person using it?

  4. But did they learn their lesson ... on Dot ComBack, Or More Of The Same? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Lets just pretend that this dotcom come back is really happenning and there is no possibility that it won't.

    Did the rookies and experienced dotcommers learn anything from their experiences or those of others; or, will they do the same thing - make a little money, think they're all that (no offense to all you failed dotcommers) and hire people to do things they could easily do themselves and buy a bunch of equipment they have no need for? Thus putting them into dept which they will never recover from and putting their dotcom on that big server in the sky.

  5. Biting off more than they can chew on The Interplanetary Internet · · Score: 1

    What's the point of creating an Internet infrastructure accros a solar system if we haven't even finished the one here, on Earth.

    Seems like a waste of money and resources ... they should use the technology to improve the internet here.

  6. That won't work here on America's Broadband Dream Is Alive-- In Korea · · Score: 1

    We're capitalists (or we're supposed to be anyway) and besides if the government took control of implementing broadband then how could some company (started in someones garage) monopolize the market?

  7. Cheaper chips? on Light-Producing Nanotubes Could Mean Faster Chips · · Score: 1

    After they perfect whatever process they used to develop this; theoretically, chips should be cheaper since fairly pure sources of carbon are fairly abundant (graphite, coal, ...). Of course this is assuming that manufacturing cost of it isn't some astronomical figure.

  8. Is it just me on Water-Rocket-Powered Cars · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does this guy's kid have a problem?
    1st I would have given almost anything to shoot, blow up, or melt (or anything else you can think of) a G.I. Joe
    and 2nd why does he have a Barby car

  9. I know a better security solution, but ... on Nmap Security Tool Survey · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    it sucks. If you want to totally secure, none of these can do it, they do help and prevent most attacks but they do have flaws. To be totally secure you would have to isolate your computer from all networks.

    In other words no internet; I told you it sucks

  10. Needs work ... on Intel's 'Personal Server': The Handheld Killer? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Intel seems to have a good idea with this; however, I don't think it will cost effective to implement it. It will be like alternative fuel source cars - they will have to built a system to use it. Assuming they use WiFi to connect it to a computer so it "is your computer," that would mean that most computers could not connect to it without an purchase seems how a majority of the population don't even have their computers networked, much less wirelessly. Furthermore, it can't replace a PDA, atleast not yet, because you have to have a computer to use it; you can't use it while you are walking down the street. I think it would work great if they integrated some sort of display, even if it is crude, so you can use it like a PDA and still maintain the personal server aspect of it so it can be used to make any pc or laptop your own

  11. This sucks ... on RoboCup 2003 · · Score: 1

    Now there are even more soccer teams that can kill mine (we haven't won in two years)

    And what's worse we'd be losing to a few thousand dollar pieces of plastic and metal that are at the most 10 inches tall
