  3. Re:"Divine ship" eh? on China Sending Two People Into Space · · Score: 0

    Aladdin's Magic Carpet could also be translated as his "Divine Floorcovering"; it doesn't really work, does it?

    It becomes a divine floor covering after an unsuccessful re-entry.

    everything to do with advancing and keeping one up on ICMB technology

  5. Boring on Warspying in San Francisco · · Score: 0

    (From article)and the image of the empty office is one of the more interesting finds of the evening.

    Hey slow down there buddy, that's far too much excitement for me to handle in one afternoon.

  6. Re:Wait a second... on What's Inside the Mars Rovers · · Score: 0

    Actually, the chips they use on the rover are RISC chips (Reduced intruction set) and are in no way comparable to the standard desktop CPU's you or I have on our desktop pc.

  7. Ergonomic keyboards. on Carpal Tunnel- Laptops Better than Ergo Keyboards? · · Score: 0

    I've used an ergonomic keyboard for a short while and found it to be incredibly annoying to navigate. Especially the 'bent it half' Micro$oft keyboards, which required me to bend my forearms into something approaching a large pretzel. Not to mention the fact I was continually looking for keys.

  8. Pressed down? on The Dirt On Mars, In Words And Pictures · · Score: 0

    After the rover arm pressed soil down, the top layer of dust hardly moved When all else fails, use a bigger hammer.

  9. As far as I'm concerned.. on 'Bagle' Worm Heading For A Windows PC Near You · · Score: 0

    anyone who doesn't have a firewall that blocks .exe attachments deserves to be infected.

  10. Re:PDA/Disks/MP3-players at risk? on Chinese MagLev Train Opens Next Week · · Score: 0

    I'm sure the carriages would have some type of mag shielding. The same type that surrounds computer speaker magnets as not to interfere with the CRT display.

  11. Re:Thank God we're still alive on Looking for Quark-Gluon Plasma? · · Score: 0

    If fission stops, you just have a bunch of helium floating around, and it's not all that dangerous.

    Not dangerous maybe, but all the plant workers would have squeaky high pitched voices for weeks after.
  12. PHOBOS, STAR, PHENIX and BRAHMS?? on Looking for Quark-Gluon Plasma? · · Score: 0

  15. In need of upgrading? on Matrix-Style Brain Interface Closer To Reality · · Score: 0

    How soon until anyone can become the ultimate expansion card?

    How long until the card you have implanted becomes obsolete and the newest version comes out with more IDE slots and capability to handles heaps more memory.

    Mars Rover moves forward a bit.

  20. Shared video memory... on Shared Video Memory and Memory Bandiwidth Issues? · · Score: 0

    with system memory is a cheap option for motherboard manufacturers and practically guarantees sub-standard performance since main memory is not nearly as fast as most, if not all, dedicated video memory.

  21. I was actually given a laptop.. on Obtaining Replacement Parts for Your Laptop? · · Score: 0

    by the company I used to work for simply because there was no authorised repair depots in Australia (or so they thought) for Gateway laptops. Gateway is a company that has gone bust in Australia. I overhauled the machine but figured it was most likely a power issue. After a week or so of searching, I finally found a place that repairs Gateway laptops and put it in for repairs. It took weeks and weeks to get anywhere and when it finally came back the clip on the machine was still broken, despite explicitly asking for it to be replaced. The motherboard was replaced though and I finally had a machine I could use. I can certainly can sympathise with anyone else trying to get laptops fixed. They are a pain!! I would recommend to anyone buying a new laptop to pay the extra money and get the warranty extended to 3 years. It's worth it.

  22. I was banned too... on 8th Grader Suspended for Using 'net send' Command · · Score: 0

    for using a similar windows based net sending application when I accidentally sent a message that was meant for one person, to every single machine in the school. 500 desktops at least. Whoops.

  23. Two Pulsars are emmitting... on Double Pulsar Discovered · · Score: 0

    gravity waves? Maybe everyone who drives a Pulsar should stop doing so, Nissan may need to recall them.

  24. FYI on Apartment Lit Solely by LEDs · · Score: 0

  25. Orbits? on Black Holes No More -- Introducing the Gravastar · · Score: 0

    "While these objects may abound in the universe, they also say that our entire universe may reside within a giant gravastar." If this were true, then our Sun would need to be at the center of the gravastar if we were to have unhindered orbit around it. Should our solar system be closer to the edge of the gravastar our orbit around the sun would be altered by the pull of the center of the gravastar, pulling it in a more elliptical orbit.
