  1. Re:Why is this interesting? on SpaceShipOne Flight Completed Successfully · · Score: 1

    DO you have any idea how much people will pay just to go really high up and come back down? Or what about suborbital continental hops?

  2. Re:Green Economics and the Net on Confession For Two: A Spammer Spills it All · · Score: 1

    Or perhaps one could consider setting up a paypal account for them.

  3. Re:Amazing on SpaceShipOne Flight Completed Successfully · · Score: 1

    And that's why I'm glad I'm only starting high school. Space Industry, here I come!

  4. Re:wings? on SpaceShipOne Flight Completed Successfully · · Score: 1

    The United States now has a certified and *operational* civilian space port. Ain't that the craziest thing to say? I have every intention of working as a space pilot out of there once I finish school. Man.. a space port..

  5. Re:Question on SpaceShipOne Flight Completed Successfully · · Score: 1

    I believe that the Da Vinci X Prize team may be trying something like this, but correct me if I'm wrong.

  6. Re:And so it begins... on SpaceShipOne Flight Completed Successfully · · Score: 1

    I realize that. But look ahead, after that. Long term. I see a wonderful future. What do you see?

  7. And so it begins... on SpaceShipOne Flight Completed Successfully · · Score: 1

    What's next, after the X prize? Where will our bounds be? I think this is the beginning, the beginning of our spread into the solar system and eventually into instellar space. My goal for my life is to fly in space as a career, and thanks to these people, that was just made a lot more likely. We indeed live in interesting times.

    Wait.. Archer, as in Johnathan Archer? Maybe this is what made is his father want to build an engine.

  10. Re:hmm on Nintendo Pokemon Mini LCD Game Hacked · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Ahem... Looks like they were trying to host the site and a couple of videos on a Mini. Burn mini, burn. There goes my karma.

  11. Re:What about /. ? on How The Government Spies On Your Internet Use · · Score: 1

    While your post had a point, the spying part is not the part that really scares me. What scares me is that when you recieve one of these letters, you aren't allowed to talk about it. Gag orders are scary things, and the one on the ACLU does not seem to have a point, because when was the last time the ACLU was a target of a terrorism investigation? I think it is as the article said, the less that gets out about certain parts of the Patriot Act, the happier Bush and Ashcroft are.

  12. Carry a backpack on The Urban Geek As A Mugger Magnet? · · Score: 1

    Carry a backpack, a nice cheap one. It achieves part of the poor, broke student look perfectly. Students aren't usually the people getting mugged. Its the people with expensive leather electronics bags and clothes made especially for electronics. And above all, don't look like you expect someone to steal something, because that means you obviously have something of value. The whole thing is to not be a target, and look like you have nothing good.

  13. Re:Bold... or Risk-Averse on NASA's New 'Exploration' Insignia · · Score: 1

    Good idea! Lets get rid of that entire useless third of society!

    Go to forums.somethingawful.com You'll find that the PowerBook had a 10 day return policy, and he tried to return it after 19 days. There is also a link to the ebay actuion.

  15. Re:Thoughts on "E3 for Everyone" ? on E3 Wrapup Documented · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I was in it. A Elementalist/Ranger by the name of EagleR Jansen. I enjoyed it. The missions and PvP were good, and the solo area was a nice touch. The end of the event party in Town district 28 was great fun.

  16. Re:Aren't Tricorders Sensors?? on Astronauts Get Tricoders (Almost) · · Score: 1

    Exactly right. These are not Tricorders, but PADDs.

    You've been with Eccenletra Galumbits? (I totally mangled that.)

    No no no, you've got it all wrong. It was the dolphins that left!

    But the detective DID have a warrent for the information. It was just that he didn't know the right questions.

  20. Re:Greed is one of the 'seven deadly sins' on Microsoft's Janus DRM Software Officially Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Probably offtopic, but according to a recent article in Time magazine, Linux is predicted to have 21% of Microsoft's market share by 2008.

  22. Re:Which was first? on Mars Rock Supports Cross-Seeding Theory · · Score: 1

    Still, where did the first cell come from? My biology teacher at a public high school asked our class this. She did not expect an answer, and was just trying to see how our class would react. Apperently we acted as a mirror of world-wide controversy.

    I can imagine one. It's named Deep Thought.

  24. Re:Role Playing Games: some random thoughts on Videogames as Art · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Length is a virtual non-issue. As you say, its all about moving the reader or user. The best point that is made in the artcle (I think) is that if it have the power to move you, and create strong memories, it is art. I mean, the first time I played XCOM, I nearly lept out of my chair when my first alien shot one of my squaddies as he turned a corner. I remember that.

  25. Re:Role Playing Games: some random thoughts on Videogames as Art · · Score: 1

    So Edgar Allen Poe's short stories don't qualify as art because they involve less writing than some RPGs?
