Last time I checked, something called "rain" is made possible by evaporation from lakes, resiorvoirs, etc. Wouldn't preventing evaporation prevent rain? Rain happens to be a great way to irrigate fields, and is very good for our environment...
We can sue the hell out of them if we want. Seriously, there's something like 1 million unique IPs that visit here each week. If half of us contribute a couple bucks, that's enough to hire a team of sharks for a while... sorry, i meant lawyers. Why don't we do this?
Also, try sending DMCA takedown letters; companies use them against us, it's time to turn the tables. It's worth a try. Maybe we can scare them legally. If not, IBM has lawyers too...
I have an emachine, you insensitive clod!
They actually aren't that bad for just browsing. Unfortunatelyt, I managed tobuy it before I knew anything about computers(hence my high uid) and it looked good on paper... How the hell do they get a Celeron to run at 1.8, anyways? They can't be overclocking it that much, it runs fairly cool
Are you absolutely sure? If what you said is true, it would take them forever to get anywhere. I was afraid that the number would be too low... Any Trek fans here to resolve this matter?
Actually, I'm thinking that friction might be a problemin space when travelling at extreme speeds. I don'tknow any figures here, but I'll get a rough estimate. Let's say that the Enterprise travelsat something like 1 light year per second (sorry,it's definitely wrong, but I don't know actual speed). That's about 9.46*10^12 km/second, or about 9.46*10^15m/second (for you "miles" people, about 5.87*10^12miles). Assuming that there is about one molecule per cubic meter in space(I think that's right), that's 9.46*10^15 molecules impacting the hull at speeds of 9.46*10^12 km/second for every square meter facing forwards. KE=1/2mv^2, and a hydrogen atom weighs 1.7*10^-27kg, that's.152 Joules per ato, or 1.43*10^15 Joules of forceexertedon every square meter of the Enterprise that faces forwards. So yes, there is friction caused by air resistance,and yes, itwould probably destroy the Enterprise
Don't you love how the amount of money we spent on this keeps increasing? I mean, at this rate, we'll have gone bankrupt several times over for a single pen!
Believe it or not, i found a friend of mine sharpening pens the other day. THey get pretty sharp there. Unfortunately, sharpening them does not signifigantly improve the quality of the writing, but that's a different story. My point is, you can sharpen pens
Don't forget, another recent study showed that 95% of all statistics are made up... and that 115% of all studies are BSed because the authors didn't really know what they were talking about
Remember how in all those crappy movies, the bad guy hacks into some big projector thiny to tell the leaders of the world of his evil plans? Now everyone can do it... even the script kiddies.... oh crap we'd better help secure it, otherwise some wiseass will broadcast "All your base are belong to us" over this system... heh, sounds fun...how long until this is implemented? sounds fun!
sorry for the crappy post, i haven't slept in a ferw days, just finished a playable graphics test demo of my massive 3d game
No, no, no, it be 1337 millipicolightyears and 3.75 frenchmen, plus the 17th integral of e^x^2 over [2,17i] , multiplied by the score of this post. Sheesh, isn't it easy? Get your units right!
I've been wanting this feature for about 5 years now. About time, if you ask me.
Anyways, if the script kiddies learn that you can remotely control traffic lights, chaos WILL ensue. Something tells me that, no matter how secure this stuff is, it will be cracked. Then, politicians will make infrared emitters illegal in the name of good faith... and true legal chaos ensues
Actually, it's never rebooted the entire machine for me. It just kills the process called Explorer, my screen goes blank except for my background, and everything flickers back. Is that supposed to happen?
Sorry for my idiocy, but I don't have time to discover what's wrong with xp
There's a good chance that this might cure disease. Species with useful immunities (like sharks are immune to cancer) should be studied for the benefit of our society... or whatever
What I find amazing is that I practically never get spam at the account I use for/.(by the way, it IS legitimate). Actually, I ge 2-3 a day total, and my spam filter (default yahoo filter) catches most of them. I've heard that a lot of spiders crawl slashdot... why haven't I been smapped to death?

read BEFORE posting... sorry
So, it's coming out next summer? About time! I need to upgrade my machine soon, Duke Nukem Forever can't be that far off... right?

I dont thinkso, I can see it fine. It's slow,though.

Believe it or not, I am. That's what's so puzzling about it
Wouldn't wage increases for them be good? I mean, it would certainly make them slightly less eager to take bribes...
Believe it or not, this email address gets only 1-2 spams a day...Can anyone tell me what the hell I'm doing right?
All i can see is the header. Is it /.ed (doubtful). Is the site supposed to be blank? Or is it my isp?
You mean this? http://www.worth1000.com/cache/gallery/contestcach e.asp?contest_id=821
At any rate, someone would do that...
Metric??? I thought femtomiles per cubic week were the units of the future...

Why has nobody thought of this before? Would this reall work?
