  1. NASA can't do much without the shuttle... on NASA to Reconsider Hubble Decision · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Without the shuttle to replace the failing gyro's onboard the Hubble, their isn't much that NASA can do, besides boost its orbit... Pretty much their choices are: -reconsider shuttle usage -ask the Russians to help with a manned mission (would need to send up a capsule, and something to hold the paylod - Soyuz is too small to hold all the replacement parts and astronauts) -come up with an unmanned mission to boost the orbit (this still wouldn't address failing gyros and other critical parts wearing out)

  2. Re:All screeners? on Arrest in Caridi FBI Investigation · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There are only so many screeners sent out by studios - if this guy _was_ sending out as many as they say he did, he probably represented a large portion of all screeners posted to the internet.

  3. Re:I've seen exactly... on Traditional Games 100 - Rating 2003's Boardgames · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There are a lot of great games out there with very simple rules (take less than 10 minutes to teach). Check out Settlers of Catan if you ever get the chance - pretty simple to learn - lots of fun.

  4. Don't judge a book by its cover on Traditional Games 100 - Rating 2003's Boardgames · · Score: 1

    New England, and most of the games listed in the Games 100 have more depth, and are more fun to play than the top 100 video games on the market today!

  5. Don't forget the added content! on Star Wars - Knights of The Old Republic PC Gold! · · Score: 4, Informative

    New Space Station trading post, new weapons, new creatures!

  6. Re:Smash the Kaiser! oh wait, wrong war. on Freedom Force Take On Third Reich · · Score: 1

    I'm hoping because its interesting - also a lot of Golden age comics really got there start fighting the Nazi's (evil Red Skull vs Captain America). If anything Silver Age should have been anti-commie, and the first game should have been anti-nazi... Lets all just hope enough people buy this one to get us another sequel!

  7. Re:The question is... on More Rumored Fallout 3 Graphics, Details · · Score: 2, Informative

    The artwork posted at NMA indicate that at least one locale will be the ruins of Denver.

  8. Re:Player races? on More Rumored Fallout 3 Graphics, Details · · Score: 1

    Actually - newer comments by JE Sawyer indicate that they are only going to have one playable race: humans...

  9. Interesting data - no good conclusions though on Marriage May Tame Genius · · Score: 1

    While the study notes the fact that output drops off - it doesn't have any data to come up with an explanation as to why. So any explanation given is just speculation... My theory - maybe its because once married, they no longer want to commit the time they once spent working (whose going to spend 16 hours a day, 7 days a week in the lab when the wife wants you home?) Once a study comes out to say why the output decreases (don't want to spend the time anymore, brain starting to malfunction, etc) - that will be real news...
