    Xmas season starts as soon as stores take out the Halloween stuff off of their shelves, to replace them with Xmas seasonal shiat.

  4. Re:Sorry, had to be done by someone on Teraflop In A Box At SC2003 · · Score: 1

    from what i understand, there is a cluster in that box. so in effect, this is a beowulf cluster post!

  8. if you ever visit Nigeria on Man Arrested in Australia Over Nigerian E-mail Scam · · Score: 1

    this country seems to breed scammers like crazy, so be careful, as evidenced by this BBC story:

  9. what if we put a giant laser on the moon? on Warfare at the Speed of Light · · Score: 1

    we could then turn the moon into a "death star"... but i digress.

    if a laser was fired from the moon at a target on the Earth, wouldn't gravity warp the "la-ser's" beam?

  10. the police already does this on US Senate Backs Genetic Privacy · · Score: 1

    remember in the recent murder of Holly Jones in Toronto, one of the main suspects, who lived in her neighbourhood, was one of the few who refused to give a DNA sample to the cops.

    the cops just shadowed him until he discarded a can of coca-cola, and got his DNA from the can.

  11. Re:IN SOVIET CANADA..... on US Senate Backs Genetic Privacy · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    gotta love Pat Buchanan eh

    I wonder if he gets "special" treatment at the border when he visits.

  12. In Canada on US Senate Backs Genetic Privacy · · Score: 2, Informative

    wouldnt that type of discrimination be automatically covered by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

  13. Re:I would love on 10 Panel LCD Displays · · Score: 1

    I bet you could make your own immersive movies.

    just get 5 or 6 miniDV camcorders, and modify a helmet so you can mount all of them to cover 360 degrees.

    But how would you edit the separate footages together so they play simultaneously?

  14. just imagine on The Surprising Benefits of Being Unemployed · · Score: 0, Redundant

    playing cards?
    watching the game on tv?

    mental images of Linda Blair rotating her head puking.

  17. the main problem with systems on RFID Hell · · Score: 1

    which amass an enormous amount of information is information overload.

    that either leads to a lot of false positive or false negative "hits".

    kinda like searching google for a specific porno image.

    i'll start being scared that someone solved that problem the day i can find a specific porno file using google.

  18. competition = lower price on Sharp Announces 3D Laptop · · Score: 1

    if at least NEC and Sharp market 3d screens, then no one company will be able to own the market and demand whatever price they feel like selling it at.

  19. mysteriously snuffed out candles?! on Haunted Houses Explained: Infrasound · · Score: 0

    by infrasound?!

    what's the explanation for that?

  20. What my last 3 ISPs did on Should ISPs Be The Little Man's Firewall? · · Score: 1

    When I first subscribed to them, they gave me a CDrom with a localized webbrowser and email software to use with their service.

    Maybe they could just throw in ZoneAlarm as an automatic part of the setup?

    If there's a well written dialog box that explains to the masses how this will be beneficial for them, then I m sure most of them would just click through to the install.

  21. Re:The Jedi are all Killed on Star Wars Kid & Episode III? · · Score: 4, Funny

    well, after Count Dooku gets killed with garlic, holy water and a lightsaber stab through the heart, Palpatine recruits SWK as his new hatchetman, who kills most of the Jedis until Darth Vader kills and replaces SWK, who in an ironic twist of fate, is revealed as Anakin's father.

  22. moreover on Star Wars Kid & Episode III? · · Score: 1

    not only would this require ghyslain to WANT to be in the movie, since he's still a minor, he would also need his parents' permission!

    Just imagine if Lucas put Ghyslain in Episode 3, and then Ghyslain's parents decided to sue Lucas for making fun of him!

    On preview, bootleg Ghyslain action figures made in Taiwan.

  23. it almost doesnt matter on Star Wars Kid & Episode III? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    i was already debating whether or not to see episode 3 at all, considering my disappointment with Ep 1 and 2...

    i guess i'll still go see it just because it s the end of that trilogy, and on the off chance that Lucas might save the day with an incredible movie, but i'm not holding my breath.

    having ghyslain in it would be great poetic justice for the ppl who made fun of him, i suppose, but that would require ghyslain to actually want to be in it too...

  24. speaking of replicas... on Goodbye, Galileo · · Score: 1

    "but I would rather have a replica of this space probe in schools/colleges than any number of sports trophies. The amount of hard work and dedication required to do things like this should inspire our youths, instead of their current role models" We could start a replica project for it, and make Galileo scooters to probe the neighbourhood! Hey, if people do it with the Star Trek Enterprise, so can we!! http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/03 0905/170/562a3.html&e=5&ncid=1756
