  1. Re:Wind Requirement on World's Largest Wind Turbine · · Score: 1
    The thing is that it's not about surface area. Those turbine blades are like wings. Burnelli's law and all that. Someone naive about the workings of aerodynamics might confuse surface area with something else.

    Now picture the blades stalling :D
  2. Re:Weird, but cool! on A Liquid That Turns Solid When Heated · · Score: 1

    I've got an easier weird thing:
    Water expands when frozen

  3. Re:holy grail? hardly. on NYT On Flying Cars · · Score: 1

    how about a R/C plane with camera?

  4. Re:A mortgage payment!!!???? on Affordable Modern Graphics Cards · · Score: 1
    Buying the $200 video card instead of the $500 card means you get to upgrade sooner

    I agree with the $500 video card being ridiculous... however, I disagree with the whole upgrading frenzy (quite abundant on slashdot, which is mostly made up by technolusty people from capitalist countries). Yeah, I'd like that 512MB card too. No, it's no use and'd never buy it.

    Yeah, cause any pilot would be distracted by such a professional sounding phrase...

    Like silver?

  10. 1984 on Vive La Loafing! · · Score: 1

    Production left the country to avoid production surplus, which would improve the way of life and make people start thinking. That'd lead to the destitution of the ruling class. (Paraphrasis of "The theory and practice of oligarchical collectivism")

  11. Re:Women on long-term space flights? on ESA To Study Human Hibernation · · Score: 1

    Actually, Orgasmo will, because Chota Boy will be the one firing...

    People new to a computer have trouble moving the mouse
    Right you are. I was teaching the house maid how to check her e-mail (with *sigh* IE...) and she found it really hard to move the mouse precisely and to click without moving the mouse.
    I guess a trackball would help
  13. I know it's slashdot, but... on Laptops with the Longest Battery Life? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't expect anyone to use his laptop for 20 hours straight...

  14. Re:Lame on Laptops with the Longest Battery Life? · · Score: 1

    That's portability, not wirelessability (?). If that were the case, people'd be tossing their laptops all over the house...

  15. Re:you want a comparison? on Moving To Linux · · Score: 1

    Now, compare the list of users who bought Sex for Dummies with the one of those who bought Linux for Dummies Mmmmhh.... suspicious

    Use 9000-series SATA. They are *very* nice, and support RAID-50 now.
    Wow, there are 50 raid modes? :P
  17. 95LX on Sony's $700 Linux-based Remote Control · · Score: 1

    It's a fine programmable remote control
    Well, it's actually a small computer running DOS. But RemCom will use the (powerful) IR port like a universal RC.
    All for less than $50

  18. Great... on Cheap Cell-Phone Detector · · Score: 1
