  1. Re:I hate Hollywood. on First Official Photos From New Star Trek Movie · · Score: 1

    Just tried to get back to the original topic... :-)

    But the Captain Future Theme is great. (Christian Bruhn Version)

  2. Re:I hate Hollywood. on First Official Photos From New Star Trek Movie · · Score: 1

    after having sat through the American one I'm suddenly very happy that the German version was contractually obliged to have no lyrics.

    Star Trek Theme HAS lyrics.

  3. Re:I hate Hollywood. on First Official Photos From New Star Trek Movie · · Score: 1

    Mixing it up with Flash Gordon???

    Music
    Glen A. Larson .... composer: theme music

  4. Re:Upgrading "to an all-IP core" on No IPv6 For UK Broadband Users · · Score: 1

    ATM, I'd guess.

    IMHO no bad choice for a backbone.

  5. Re:Game music on The Blending of Music and Games · · Score: 1

    i think you have Doom confused with Quake, which had industrial metal type music by trent reznor on it. not many noticed but the game could be put into your cd player, audio starts at track 2 so dont try to play track 1... go try it and thank me later.

    Worked too for "The 7th guest". Also a great soundtrack.

  6. Re:w00t on Particle Physicists Share the Physics Nobel · · Score: 1

    Most of the time I still resort to see subatomic particles as simple, shiny, spheres....

  7. Re:XBox for relaxation. on Microsoft Programming Contest Hacked and Defaced · · Score: 1

    But I'd still call it usefull.

  8. Re:Of interest... on Toshiba Battery Charges In 10 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Wall current is usually something like 117V (varies)

    Yeah.. guess that's why they call it AC.....

  9. Re:Enough already with this "the cloud" BS on Sending Excess Load To the Cloud? · · Score: 1

    Because its something different?

    "Cloud" is more like a giant cluster of VMs which you can turn on and of node by node at will. And best of all: you only pay for the running time. No investemnts up front for hardware.

    It isnt the internet just because you use the internet to connect to it.

    Your Beowulf cluster in your basement isnt your LAN either.

  10. Re:Or more reasonable policies on Students Are Always Half Right In Pittsburgh · · Score: 1

    good point... sounds like the goal is to have the student "come out of school"....

  11. Re:Err on Homeland Security Department Testing "Pre-Crime" Detector · · Score: 1

    *Shrug* At least it stays in the family..

  12. Re:Barriers to adoption on How the LSB Keeps Linux One Big Happy Family · · Score: 1

    ...or have the different desktops all support a common subset of functions and call that OpenDesktop or dbus (IIRC thats what those two are for)

  13. Re:Source code on How the LSB Keeps Linux One Big Happy Family · · Score: 1

    works not too bad on my gentoo box....

  14. Re:This should be interesting... on How the LSB Keeps Linux One Big Happy Family · · Score: 1

    What I like most about linux (or miss on my windows box) is the centralized software management that a distribution provides. Just compare a simple 'emerge -u world' (and a few hours wait ;-)) or 'apt-get upgrade' with Adobe Updater, Norton Updater, RealPlayer-Updater (and EVERY OTHER SOFTWARE under Win) either cluttering your taskbar with update-manager-processes or your screen with "do you want to search for upgrades now".

  15. Re:Hubble Windex: For that Deep [Space] Shine! on Hubble Finds Unidentified Object In Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    lots of.. lots of, baby...

  16. Homologation? on Judge Rules Defense Can Get DUI Machine Source Code · · Score: 1

    How did they getthis thing past homologation in the first place?

  18. Re:The story keeps changing. on San Fran Hunts For Mystery Device On City Network · · Score: 1

    so you may start calling me SUPERMAN.

    I get a emails every day propising I should by some pills and everyone will call me superman....

  19. Re:you can't stop the doomsayers on LHC Success! · · Score: 1

    usually, yes.

    But now I'm off to watch "Charlie's Angles"

  20. Re:you can't stop the doomsayers on LHC Success! · · Score: 1

    What distresses me is the level of coverage these nutbars have had on the news channels.

    Not me.

    As journalist, you get taught to always investigate and report from different angels, cover all the pros and cons and so on. So you have a huge community of scientists, who are more than happy about the LHC. But for a "good" piece of news, you also need to show a critic. so 50% of the articles quote the guy who thinks the LHC was too expensive, the other 50% quote that guy who is afraid of black holes.

    The sad thing about that is, that indeed this would be journalistic "best practice". You need to look at the coverage at a large scale to see that it's always the same guy talking about strengelets.

  21. Content on Google Invests In Broadband For Poorer Countries · · Score: 1

    suitable for people with low literacy?

    Rule #34.. there's already porn of it .-)

  22. Re:Broadband is not what they need on Google Invests In Broadband For Poorer Countries · · Score: 1

    Now you'll get thousand of myspace-sites spreading that "cure".

    just hope that someone will herd those people to the real information sites.

  23. Re:Are Quests in MMOGs doable? on Quests · · Score: 1

    perhaps you think to much of an item as an object. It could be a Keep as in DAoC. Or why not a whole city?

  24. Re:Kill DST instead!!!! on US DoD Poll On Leap Seconds · · Score: 1

    Full agree.

    perhaps maybe the reduction of accidents. You may reduce them in the morning, but increase them in the evening. The blanket is still a bit too short...

  25. Re:Leap seconds fix a diferent problem on US DoD Poll On Leap Seconds · · Score: 1

    I'd agree that its stupid to let the longest day of the year mark the _begining_ of summer. I guess thats one reason why over the past years, the meteorological seasons start getting used more often.
