  1. Billions and billions... on VASIMR Ion Engine Could Cut Mars Trip To 39 Days · · Score: 5, Funny

    A few hundred Newtons here, a few hundred Newtons there, and pretty soon you're talking about some real delta-v!

    3Mbps doesn't buy you a lot of video. You can just barely do 640x480x30FPS over USB2.0 if you JPEG it first.

    But I don't want to be replaced by a short perl script and a couple hundred gigs of prior probability distributions!

    I'll believe it when I can use my laptop for 30 hours instead of 3.

  7. Re:The Best Thing To Do on Triangular Buttons Make On-Screen Keyboards More Usable · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    As for the keyboard itself, seems I've seen that in some si-fi movie.

  12. Re:Chicken vs Egg on Where Are the High-Res Head-Mounted Displays? · · Score: 1
  13. Executable... on Adobe Confirms PDF Zero-Day, Says Kill JavaScript · · Score: 1

    Which Blackberry doesn't only do Java?

  22. Re:I don't know that you want that on DRM Shuts Down PC Version of Gears of War · · Score: 1

    Aren't professional engineers supposed to double/triple-check for that kind of thing before they sign off on the plans?

  23. Re:Gaming on OS X? Not any time soon. on AMD Adds OpenGL 3.0 Support To Graphics Drivers · · Score: 1

    To be fair they managed to implement EXT_framebuffer_object on the GMA950 somehow. Even Intel can't seem to figure that out on win32/linux.
