  1. Firefox forever! on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I guess now we now for sure where the foundanion is headed. The new Netscape can probably take the place of a lot of the suite.

  2. This has nothing to do with aborted babies on Stem Cells Cultivated Free of Animal Contaminants · · Score: 5, Informative

    I have no idea what you're talking about, but embryonic stem cells are harvested from left over in-vitro cells (and harvested at the blastocyst stage) that would otherwise be discarded. This has nothing to do with abortion or fetuses!

  3. Re:but the real question is on Stem Cells Cultivated Free of Animal Contaminants · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Couldn't be more offtopic, but wow- I don't know why, but that just cracked the shit out of me!

    Funny- it was I, the parent of your post, who submitted this article ;-)

  5. Re:just like the real ones on Bipedal Dinosaur Robot · · Score: 2, Funny

    Two wheels (e.g. Segway) as opposed to four (e.g. car)

    Just strap as many wheel as legs they have then hook 'em up to a RF rcontroller and play bumper dinos. Last robot still standing wins.
    And rule #1: No blowtorches hooked intside their mouths.

  6. just like the real ones on Bipedal Dinosaur Robot · · Score: 5, Funny

    have developed 2 bipedal dinosaur robots

    I guess the ones on wheels just didn't cut it

  7. Re:My luck... on Knoppix 3.8 at CeBIT w/ Kernel 2.6, FF, and More · · Score: 1

    Hey, if you live nearby, I can carrier pigeon it to you ;-)

  8. Re:Knoppix can REALLY impress on Knoppix 3.8 at CeBIT w/ Kernel 2.6, FF, and More · · Score: 5, Informative

    Feather is a great distribution for doing this. It only needs 128 to 256 MB to have everything loaded and still plenty of processing ram. Great for somewhat older computers and has all the hardware recognition of Knoppix 3.6

  9. Re:but the real question is... on Knoppix 3.8 at CeBIT w/ Kernel 2.6, FF, and More · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... if they wrote a virus for KDE, would they call it "The Klap?"

    Or alternatively Gnomorrea?


    ... FluxPox maybe?

  10. write to its own disk? on Knoppix 3.8 at CeBIT w/ Kernel 2.6, FF, and More · · Score: 1

    Could the OS when running from CD also possibly be able to write to itself also, so long as it was a RW disk?

  11. Re:Easy. on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's all subjective-

    Linux user:
    "Soo.. bored of being 'productive'.. must entertain.. self.. I know, I'll recompile my OS with a test kernel again.. it'll only take.. a little while.. yea.. that's being productive!"

    Windows user:
    "Soo.. bored of being 'productive'.. must entertain.. self.. I know, I'll play solitaire for the next.. little while.. and then blow up a hundred monsters in Doom.. yea.. that's being productive!"

  12. Don't listen to Bill Gates rant on communism. on Senators Clinton and Kerry Submit Open Voting Bill · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This can seriously only help.

  13. Re:yep on Mandrake to Acquire Conectiva · · Score: 4, Funny

    Your marklars are wise and true.

    After marklar chose to obtain marklar, marklar paid a lot more marklar for the marklar than marklar wish marklar had. Other marklar dislike French marklar and want powerful and profitable marklar away from those marklar. But no matter marklar, the best marklar will always be free marklar. Open marklar forever!

  14. Re:yea let's make society crazy on Man Finds $1,000 Prize in EULA · · Score: 0, Troll

    Similarly, have you memorized or studied the GPL and BSD license, or do you just have a pretty good idea af what they say?

    And why don't I just go ahead and memorize every end user agreement, warranty information card, and instruction booklet just to be safe?

  17. agreed on Are Betas Taking On Lives of Their Own? · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's a bad idea to put two male betas in the same bowl as they WILL fight to the death..

  18. Superhuman on The Internet Meets the Neural Net · · Score: 1

    I'm still waiting for the time we begin to function intact with computers and become superhuman- machines with souls essentially. It's the whole idea of transhumanism!

  19. SMTP on Lead Developer of SPF Anti-Spam Scheme Interviewed · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Would we need a new universal mail protocol? Or could we use the method merely by altereing the current SMTP?

  20. yay on Official Firefly Movie Web Site Launched · · Score: -1, Redundant

    "Firefly swag!" Saweet!

  21. Beasties on Beastie Boys' New Album Silently Installs DRM Code · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That's not cool. Makes me kinda wonder why they put out this album anyway ($$$?).. I love their old stuff but I'm not sure their old passion was really in this work anyway.

  22. computers used to be so much cooler looking on Was Zuse's Z3 the First Programmable Computer? · · Score: 2, Funny

    But that one couldn't even play Frogger! Useless!

  23. Crop chopper? on Wi-Fi in the Sky · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Crop-chopper?

    They need to get some serious army jets out there just in case they pass any terrorists on the way..

    But is there a reason to use such small jets?

  24. Emotional? on Videogames as Art · · Score: 5, Funny

    If the storyline in a videogame can truly create memories, then there has to be more behind the games than simple entertainment.

    Yea.. the emotions.. I almost.. cried everytime one of my ninja turtles got killed when I was a child. I'll never forget. *tear*

  25. just a spacewalk on International Space Station Gyroscope Fails · · Score: 5, Interesting

    All they need to do is a spacewalk out and restart it.

    He stressed, however, "We're not dealing with a safety issue," and added it would take several weeks to determine when to schedule the spacewalk.

    There are two gyroscopes still functioning, and that is enough to stabilize the station, Suffredini said. If one of these remaining gyroscopes fails, the station will rely on thrusters to keep it steady.


    Too bad they can't do that for Hubble too.
