  1. Slashback? on The Worst Jobs in Science · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Didn't we already have this EXACT topic before?

  2. Energy efficiency? on New Method To Generate Electricity from Water · · Score: 1

    Can someone give me info/link on the % of eficiency on our energy resources? Thanks

  3. Whats a Universe? on Universe Shaped Like A Soccer Ball? · · Score: 1

    Whats the technical definition of a universe? Does it include the voids? If so, how does "nothing" expand? How can you describe the shape of nothing?

  4. Re:Do you guys notice... on The Matrix: Revolutions Theatrical Trailer · · Score: 1

    I should have been more specific. I was referring to the Kung Fu scene in the dojo room in M1. And all Kung fu fight scenes in M2, especially the one with Neo and the Chinese guy. I felt so embarassed over that one. The fighting was choppy.

  5. Do you guys notice... on The Matrix: Revolutions Theatrical Trailer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    that Matrix reloaded was more about looking slick and wearing sunglasses than story? When I first saw matrix 1, they didn't need any of that to wow me. It was cool enough seeing some "hacking stuff" going on! Now it's all about fighting (which is abissmal compared to some Jet Li classics) and looking chic. I think Revolutions will probably do the same thing for the teen masses with short attention span, but it'll be bearable if they got some neat stuff in it that M1 had.
    Put neo back in a suit and tie or sumthin. He starts acting like Trinity from m1 and m2. Stiff faced. I guess the matrix does that to ya

  6. Free eee on Google Helps Offer Blogger Pro For Free · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Those Free features are really nice, but these features didn't even take that long to code in, except for the spell checker. It's like AOL saying they are offering free smilies on their email :).

  7. Re:The program seems to be working in Maine on New Hampshire to Follow Maine's Lead · · Score: 1

    yeah but there are WAY MORE non computer related jobs than computer related jobs. One class is really enough for everynoe to get a basic concept of how to use one. really!

  8. Re:The program seems to be working in Maine on New Hampshire to Follow Maine's Lead · · Score: 1

    I believe they have certain classes for this, like Business and COmputers or something like that. It's not like we have a big problem with people getting out of high school and not knowing how to use a computer

  9. Re:What the? on New Hampshire to Follow Maine's Lead · · Score: 1

    I truly believe most of this laptops in schools business is just a "cool" factor.

  10. Whatever.... on New Hampshire to Follow Maine's Lead · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Absences, tardiness and disciplinary trips to the principal dropped significantly in one Maine school with the laptops, Benson said.

    "If that doesn't tell you this works, nothing else will," he said.


    I think it's because the laptop is more like a gimmick that keeps kids occupied. Back in my days, we stopped playing pencil break because we were busy making ASCII porn on a TI-82.

    I thought current windows filing system was already database-based? Not that i know anythig on this matter, i just thought I read it somewhere. Can someone enlighten me please

  15. Saturation? on Games and the 'Geek Stereotype' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I believe the missing "fun factor" in today's game is a result of a human symptom on saturation and choices. We have so many things to play these days we just take things for granted.

    Heck, I used to have basic TV with just 5 channels, I was doing fine. Now that I have over 100 channels, I can't find anything good to watch!! How weird is that.

  16. Software fads of dotcom era on Dotcom Era Fads · · Score: 1

  17. New and Fresh? on Control the Camera on Mars Global Surveyor · · Score: 1

    How about something unique and fresh, something that will imprint into people's minds, so they can recall that it is mars just by looking at the features.

  18. No Problem on Using Spyware to Report Pirates? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I have no problem with this, as long as it is in the agreement box, or they make it clear that it till collect the user data and send it to the company if the software checks itself to be a crack.

    You don't like it then don't use it.

  22. How accurate is it? on Skulls Gain Virtual Faces · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How do youo know if the person was a bit overweight and had a double chin or big cheeks? I know I looked ALOT different when I gained about 20 pounds and kept it for a few months till I couldn't afford pizza buffets anymore.

    Also, how can a skull help you determine the shape of the person's eyebrows or the shape of their eyes? And they can't use race as a factor because I know alot of caucasians with various eye shapes.

  25. Kinda OT, but please reply on Getting Ready To Map The (Visible) Universe · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ok guys this is kinda OT, but I always wondered for a long time. Let's say you have a hollow sphere. THe inside of the sphere is lined with mirrors (basically, a mirror sphere turned inside out) Now what will happen if you flash a beam of light into that sphere? Let's say that you were able to flash that light through a small hole and then replace that hole back with a mirror. Will the light keep flashing back and forth to infinity?? If you were viewing from the inside without affecting the path of the light, would it be shiny all over the place? What will happen?!!!!
