  1. Re:Time for encrypted phones? on FCC Rules VoIP Must Be Tappable · · Score: 1

    I don't see why VOIP taps would be done differantly from normal phone taps. I think they will still need a warrant to tap some one.

  2. Re:12 Songs? on Apple, Motorola Plan An iTunes-Friendly Phone · · Score: 1

    The poster mistyped, the article said dozens of songs, not a dozen.

  3. Re:I want a flight. on Blogging a Ride on the 'Vomit Comet' · · Score: 1

    "Zero Gravity Corporation (ZERO-G [nogravity.com]) is booking seats for Vomit-Comet-like weightless flights. The 'ZERO-G Experience' has 20 parabolas--made up of Martian (1/3 gravity), lunar (1/6 gravity) and zero gravity parabolas--and costs $2,950 per seat. Peter Diamandis (founder of the Ansari X Prize) is the CEO." POsted by Colonist awhile ago.

  4. Re:Active Volcano? on Ammonia Could Indicate Life On Mars · · Score: 2, Informative

    Earth doesn't have a molten either because their are hundreds of billions of tons of pressure on it making the core to dense to flow, lava however comes from the mantle. Sounds like someone learned their geology from The Core.

  5. Re:I wouldn't be caught dead in one... on Can Your Car Get 1,700 MPG? · · Score: 1

    Any consumer road vehicle that is hit by a triple trailer semi is almost certain to be completely and utterly obliterated regardless of whether it weighs 80 pounds or two tons, you just die .02 seconds sooner with these cars, not like any of them are capable of driving on a road let alone a high way.

  6. Re:Am I missing something? on Carnegie Mellon Starts Offering Courses Online · · Score: 1

    You don't get a degree from the online materials, getting a degree from MIT carries much more wait with employers than saying you read lesson notes and such online.

  7. Re:In numbers on Mozilla Gains on Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    "If five million isn't significant, then what is?" 5,000,000 is far from signifigant, 5,000,001 however is an entirely different story...

  8. Ford makes Mecurys on Microsoft Responds to IE Criticism · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ford makes Mecurys

  9. Re:Core Starbucks Customer?? on Starbucks - Your Next Music Superstore? · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's nothing, the "anarchists" around here think anarchy is a fancy way of saying goth. Of course they also draw anarachy patches with sharpie on their toungues so they'll be out of the gene pool soon enough anyway..

  10. Window Managers on Linux Users Are Spoiled · · Score: 1

    There are other window managers but I can't remember any off hand, I'll google and report back.

  11. Re:Smash it with an axe. on How Would You Lock Down a Windows XP Machine? · · Score: 1

    "smash it with an axe"
    If I recall correctly axes are for chopping not smashing, but what do I know...

  12. Re:Need a better rule for fouls. on Road to the Robocup 2004 · · Score: 1

    If the robot had half a brain it would keep the ball under it by dribbling with its' back legs. The bot would just stroll up and score. If I were to coach the human team, I'd send out the crappy players to destroy the bots and when they get ejected from the game, I'd replace them with beter players repeating untill all the bots are dead and are forced to resign...

  13. Re:That Y2K thingy... on Computer Pioneer Bob Bemer Dies · · Score: 2, Funny

    err 2000...

  14. Re:That Y2K thingy... on Computer Pioneer Bob Bemer Dies · · Score: 1

    Plenty of people knew about the problem but either other didn't see the importance or just thought we'd all be dead by 200 anyway.

  15. NASA outsourcing? on Canadarm Company Bidding on Hubble Repair · · Score: 1

    First they offer an X prize like contest now they give out this job, has NASA stopped trying to put out original work in favor of sposoring others?

  16. Sounds like the mean horizontally chalenged on Mobo for Vertically Challenged Devices · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Theres plenty of room in a flat screen TV if you place the card verticly, am I missing something??

  17. Re:Why another technology on Xgrid Agent for Unix · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Either that or OpenMosix"
    Xgrid treats the cluster as one proccessor, while OpenMosix assigns each to thread to a cpu thats not doing muck work.

  18. Re:This is good news on When Think Tanks Attack · · Score: 1

    "Nobody can be convinced that Windows is better in ALL cases." Plenty of people will, Microsoft has a knack at getting ignorant people to think it is the only viable choice in operating systems, presentation software or whatever else. Plenty of people will defend MS products in an aguement although they are under or misinformed.

  19. Re:Ok, it stops it going through the walls on RF-Blocking Wallpaper · · Score: 1

    "The panels are 50 to100 microns thick and can be applied to most surfaces including glass"

    There's still the problem of someone opening a door, I supose you could apply some to a set of doors in a row where only one could be opened at a time to create a system similar to an airlock.

  20. Re:Idiotic on Yet Another Degrading DVD · · Score: 1

    read the article, it says they aren't trying to prevent piracy.

  21. Palm pilot robot on Simple and Cheap Robotic Projects? · · Score: 1

    http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~reshko/PILOT/

    Has instructions and software ready made or you could base something different off of it. Pretty cheap also.

  22. Re:What are they going to do? on First-Ever Private Spaceport Nears Final Approval · · Score: 1

    >Dude..... Zero-g sex...... nuff said....

    When ever you made contact you would begin to float away. You would need assitants or creatively placed handles. The problem with assistants is know one but perverts will do it and handles would have to be reconfigured for different sized people.

  23. Re:Mac? on Diablo II Gets Native Mac OS X Installer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is this a question or a joke? If it's a joke it isn't very good and if it's a question you could have found out very quickly. I'll just assume it's troll.

  24. Re:Is that $125k per character voice per espisode? on Simpsons Pay Dispute Settled · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maggies sucking noise was only reorded once, just like road runner's beep beep. ;)
