  1. This book is a must for Tolkein fans on The Atlas of Middle Earth · · Score: 1

    Get all the book and get into the story. You will not be sorry.

  2. Now I need a launch vehicle on R/C Vehicle For The Desktop · · Score: 1

    With a model rocket I could deliver this payload to some rich person's estate and go looking around. What fun! Could that be illegal?

  3. great stuff I was looking for a new hobby on R/C Vehicle For The Desktop · · Score: 0, Troll

    RC seems like a good hobby, with plenty of room for learning.

    They have been very helpful to me. The personal references on my resume are:

    Forgot to mention that my site is on servers in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran.

  7. I already cracked it!!! on Rent A Downloadable Movie · · Score: 1

    I downloaded the movie. Then I set up my digital video camcorder in front of my digital TV, turned off the lights and watched and recorded the movie.

    Please go to my website to download any movie you want--I compressed them all to 10 MB with lossless compression, BTW.

    Site is www.them_movie_producer_folks_are_SO_STUPID.com

    Please remember that this is a non profit site so pleeze click on some banners!

  8. dumb question on IBM Wants Linux · · Score: 1

    We are going to be getting an IBM RS/6000 with AIX. It will be running an Informix database ap called Medic Vision for Doctors' offices.

    Can AIX run a free Linux web server like Apache, or do we have to go with an IBM "solution" like WebSphere?

    In case you didn't know hospitals and doctors' practices are very hard pressed for cash these days.

    Nobody in our IS dept knows any Unix and I have only played around with Linux at home. I feel a bit nervous about how hard AIX will be to learn. We are very far from rocket scientists here!

  9. Memo to nano-bots for my body on The Evolution of Nanomachinery · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm so concerned whether they are made of organics or metal (I used to teach chemistry and physics), but I have some work for them to do right away.

    Memo to future small robot type guys:

    1) Clear out any hardening of the arteries that I have already developed (I'm 50 years old)

    2) I hate flossing--could you do that stuff by launching from my mouthwash?

    3) About that pain in my lower back? Could you head down there an do a diagnosis? I would hate to let a bone cancer get a headstart. Oh, if there is a tumor or something bad, please take care of that while you're there.

    4) Say, Viagra work but it is very expensive. Could a bunch of you tools help my tool--every once and a while? But please give me warning!

    5) Hey, I know that this is not so important, but the Q-Tip package says don't use them in the ear canal. Like many others I have been feeling guilty about this for years. Could you guys...you know...that waxy stuff?

    6) OK up here in the macro world we have these utilities called McAffee and Norton that look for problems and then if I give the OK, they fix what they can. Well, can we work out something like this, only on your level.

    7) Gee. I almost forgot being a diabetic. You guys need to fix that first.

    8) And taking that anti-depression medicine Zoloft..could you do something in my brain. BUT PLEASE BE CAREFUL THERE GUYS!

    Thanks,
    Brent,
    Your Commander-in-Chief

  10. Re:banjo took down my IE 5.5 on Help Stress Test The New Slashdot · · Score: 1

    refused connection to Netscape and Opera

    so banjo got slashdotted?

  11. banjo took down my IE 5.5 on Help Stress Test The New Slashdot · · Score: 1

    There was a very long pause then banjo took down my IE 5.5

    And asked me if I wanted to send a bug report to MS, so I did. Probably Banjo would like the same report?

    Now I guess I'll try with Oprah (I mean Opera) and then Neckscrape (I mean Netscape 6.1).

  12. This is why we need CNN, ABC, NBC, WSJ on Virus Scares and False Authority Syndrome · · Score: 1

    This is why we need CNN, ABC, NBC, WSJ. These sources of news may not be the quickest or even the most technically accurate, but they do know how to get an accurate second source, so they don't as often get a rumor going.

  13. Knowledge vs Wisdom on The Rise Of The 15-Year-Olds · · Score: 1

    A teenager may know many things and perform better that many adults. But this doesn't amount to wisdom, which only comes with age.

    Unfortunately America is dangerously tending to flash and glitz and knowledge. Investment in dotcom stock was not wise. TV mainly makes older people look stupid and younger people "hip" to today. You learning nothing at all from the reality-based programs, but a few hours spent talking to people in a nursing home could benefit anyone.

  14. I got a patent on electrons moving information on McAfee Patents ASP Business Model · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now I am trying for electromagnetic waves moving information through the aether. Mortimer, the patent office guy, says he needs more than $100,000 this time, though. He has kids going to college. In case you need a source of income, the ingestion of products by the mouth is still available says Mort.

    or Lemonaid or Quick or ....

  16. recycle the space junk into the space station on Nanosatellite Takes Out The Trash · · Score: 1

    This is a no-brainer, folks. Use robotic solar or laser furnaces to recycle all the space debris into girders and other parts for the International Space Station. Separate plastics and metals, should be realatively easy. Each Kg taken into orbit is VERY expensive. Reuse is key. Goal: never allow an orbiting atom to return to earth's surface; use it to go where no human has gone before.

  17. those AOL CD's on On Preservation of Digital Information · · Score: 4

    I'm keeping all those old AOL CD-ROMs. Some software archaelogist will need them to see what Internet pioneers struggled with.

  18. make my electronic brain run on Linux on Putting Your Brain into A Computer · · Score: 1

    sure would hate to be rebooted every day if they used a Microsoft OS
