  1. Re:What's that item!? on The Device NASA Is Leaving Behind · · Score: 1

    No, it's a common garden gnome. A little chipped at the top.

  2. Re:ceramic on New Ceramic Lensed Exilim Ex-S100 · · Score: 1

    No, the idea is that ceramic has a fantastic refractive index (2.08 compared to 1.5-1.85 for glass) so the lenses can be thinner. So the camera can be smaller. So you can take it with you more and take more pictures. So... *voice fades away*

    See this: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0408/04080401casiocer amiclens.asp

  3. Re:FAT ASTRONAUTS!! - yes you can! on Russian Mock Mars Mission · · Score: 1

    You don't have to launch 'em fat. You can feed them in a space station, where it's easi(er) to get food to. Then send 'em rolling to Mars!

  4. Counter - viruses? on Lessons Learned From Blaster · · Score: 1

    Here's an idea. Tell me what you think:

    You know the way some viruses appeared in the wake of Blaster, that actually uninstalled Blaster so they can take control? Well, what I say is, why not make counter-viruses like these, that do only this nice part (skipping the take-control one). If somebody's computer has a security hole that can be used for infection, then it can be used for disinfection as well. :)

    A sort of "Protect yourself, or we'll do it for you..."

  5. Big mistake, actually on Review Mandrake Linux 9.1 Power Pack Edition · · Score: 1

    Actually, Mandrake having jumped at the 2.4.21 UNSTABLE kernel was a mistake!

    If you try to use TotalView (a commercial graphical debugger) in Mandrake 9.1 you'll see there's a bug in the kernel that makes TotalView crash on startup! And there's nothing you can do about it except hand-patch the kernel and recompile (ewh).

    Pretty nasty thing to have around your kernel. Bob knows where else the bug could show up!
