  1. Re:Funding per pupil throughout the US on All Indian Villages Now Have Access To Electricity (indiatimes.com) · · Score: 0

    Wrong thread? I suppose this was meant in the "Wages Aren't the Only Reason Teachers Are Striking" thread?

  2. He didn't have the money nor knowledge at the time to develop a big engine..

  3. Re:We had one, it was called the Shuttle. on Calls For Funding NASA Commercial Crew Grow · · Score: 0

    So, how much has NASA's budget declined from when the shuttle was retired? Some, but not a lot. They used to be able to launch at least something with their budget, at the moment they can't launch anything and not even pay for the development of a new system. I wonder where all the money is going.

  4. Stay with GB on Google Employees Are Receiving Ice Cream Sandwich Upgrade · · Score: -1, Troll

    Well, most stuff isn't compatible with ICS yet so don't bother updating, it doesn't even bring any useful features.

    "Sorry, Skype is niet beschikbaar voor uw mobiel..."

  6. Re:Why does linux get this? on Adobe Releases New 64-Bit Flash Plugin For Linux · · Score: 1, Funny

    From the site: Download plug-in for 64-bit Windows — for all other browsers (EXE, 3.2 MB) So I think there is a 64 bit for windows too (not that I use windows so I'm not really sure)

  7. Cost is the issue on Solar Cell Achieves 40% Efficiency · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Very nice, but I'd rather see a reduction in cost per watt than an increase in efficiency. It's not like there isn't enough space for for solar cells. Most of the deserts are rather empty. Only if the price per watt drops significantly will we see these things filling up deserts.

  8. Re:Well, there you have it. on Desktop Linux Survey Results Published · · Score: 1

    I have a friend who installs a new OS every other week because he gets 'bored' with the one he has. What a waste of time!

  9. Re:Why aren't we at 2.7 yet? or 2.8? on 2.6.13 Linux Kernel Released · · Score: 1

    Even non-technical people these days know that version numbers don't mean jack shit.

  10. Re:If it ain't broke... on More New Details on NASA's CEV Launcher Studies · · Score: 1

    Burt Rutan didn't go into orbit, he got up to 100 kms. I would really like to see him getting into a real orbit, however he wil surely need a very large amount of money and very skilled engineers. Getting into space is just very hard.

  11. VTrain runs in Wine on Learning a Language in the Digital Age · · Score: 1

    Vtrain runs perfectly in Wine, so even linux users can use it.

  12. Re:Quicktime is cross-platform on Video Formats for non-Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    Mplayer has a plugin for mozilla, I use it and it works just fine

  13. Re:Article rewrite on GlobalFlyer Aims To Go Voyager One Better · · Score: 1

    I was just about to say that, steve fossett hasn't build Voyager

  14. Re:Simplest Ogg Streaming Clients for non-Unix Use on Canadian Public Radio Streaming Ogg Vorbis · · Score: 1

    RealPlayer 10 can decode Ogg Vorbis steams

  15. Re:Firebird redefined. on After The GNOME Bounties, It's Mozilla's Turn · · Score: 1

    Might sound weird but I know a lot of people that don't know what a web browser is, they only know that they use IE but that it is a web browser they don't know

  16. Re:Why Congress butts. on House Asks NASA to Postpone Space Plane · · Score: 1

    You don't know what you are talking about, the pentagon eats away more of your tax payers money in one (1 !!) week than NASA does in an entire year. Do you feel your money is better spend at the pentagon than at the NASA ? At least at the NASA you get nice museums and exibitions, the pentagon rarely shows what they do with your money!
