  2. Re:Ye of little faith. Pastafarians have the answe on The Return of Saturn's Spokes · · Score: 1

    I disagree. I believe that the ancient noble feud between the Pirates and Ninja is a direct result of the increase of the number of saturnian spokes, as this has, in turn, caused a decrease in pirate population, and those who are ignorant of the way of the meatball (damned ninjas) are attempting to encroach on those few poor remaining pirates.

    Won't somebody PLEASE think of the Pirates!

    Actually, it says 'Australiam', not 'Australian'. Everybody knows that Australiam is another word for 'American', used by peruvian moose hunters living in Berlin, while wearing their kitten-skin hats.

  6. Re:Only assuming thye use the same design on SpaceShipThree to be Orbital Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    Except it isn't possible to reach space using only one stage, unless you make absolutely massive sacrifices on all other fronts. I can't remember how, but we had to prove it in one of our finals (MPhys).

    Further reading - it's always going to be more efficient to go multistage.

    I also interviewed there. They had all these whiteboards, with pictures of sharks with 'lasers' attached to their heads, and doomsday devices. And they were showing all their business plans to all the interviewees.

    Although seriously, providing a payment service would be a good direction for them.

    As a pilot, I think it's just fine. If you don't like it, don't use it. Oh by the way did you know that Boeing use a Linux supercomputer to help design their aircraft? And all the new in-flight entertainment systems are based around linux? And, oh, guess what, some new nav computers use.... you got it, Linux.

    Suggest you quit your job and start living in a cave, to avoid linux. Oh, maybe you already do, troll.

  13. Re:calendar puzzle on Expert Network Time Protocol · · Score: 1

    Correct. Russia didn't switch fully until 1940, even though they started switching in 1917, so a lot of the dates you see in history books (births, deaths) are inaccurate.

  14. Depends what you're trading on Linux Friendly Online Brokerages? · · Score: 1

    Eurex have a Java trading platform, as do Reuters, both of which are cross platform - CBOT also hook in through an app similar to the Eurex driver, and the IPE provide a Java trading front end. To be honest, though, they all suck pretty badly. If you want something half decent, just use a windows based trading screen, such as EAT or RefcoPro.

  20. You're forgetting about the WARMTH!!!!!!! on 10 Technologies MIA · · Score: 4, Funny

    You see when you're listening to a digital CD the sound comes out all like _|-|_|-|_|-|_ and it sounds terrible, but if you're listening to an analogue LP the sound is all like v^v^v^u^v^U^wooooOOOooo000ooo. So basically the sound quality is smoother and easier from an LP, and it's got all those extra harmonics and sounds, which come free! I mean, you don't get any pops and crackles on CD, and those give the music all their character. The beatles sound sterile and dead without the pops and crackles. I think we need to invest some serious research $$$ in a portable LP player, that you can use like an iPod, I mean, an iPod has what, 40Gb of storage, that's about 4000 minutes... So if you had some kind of barrel, with 40 LPs in it, and a player, and some gyroscopes, you could have that great L:P quality wherever you run. And you'll get fitter faster.

    But, anyway, back to my point. For things to sound good, you need an LP, some really thick cables, a gold plated power supply, some of those special bricks which go on top of cables, and a whole bunch of tetrodes & pentodes. Also, once, I saw the beatles in concert, they sucked - they were nothing like they are on an LP - I mean, between the lot of them they couldn't make a single crackle or pop, and they didn't skip once!!!! Where's the warmth?!?!?! Remember, it's w000oo000OOO000oooo))oo which is great not 101010101010101010111 all those ones sound terrible.

    Now now, calm down, I was in Mevilnius York City last week, speaking Spamuanian (that's what they speak in Melithica), and I can say with utter certainty that you are behind the times my friend! Those three great bastions of western democracy fused into a great hegemonised wondernation.

    So, which part of Africaland did you say you were from? It's only little, about the size of spain, which is a peninsula on the small island of Europe, off the coast of Florida, part of the great nation state of Melithica. I mean, how can Egypt, South Africa and Somalia be that different? They're only like, y'know, 20 miles apart or so. Geesh.
