    Unfortunately for you, he is actually correct. You may want to look up information regarding the moon's rotation rate and its relation to the revolution rates. Yes, the moon does rotate.

    Chemistry experiment time!

    Stick a metal fork/spoon into a cup of coke for a week and see what happens. ;)

  5. Re:An everyday occurrence now.... on Carnegie Mellon Says Computers Breached · · Score: 1

    and...

    what would happen if your encoded biometric input is stolen? how would you change it so that the people who stole it can stop using it?

    Wait... It's no longer April 1st somewhere in the world?

  7. Re:May I be the first to ask... on Experts Suggest Replacing Definition of Kilogram · · Score: 1

    Light does NOT have mass. Photons have momentum but not mass. And since they don't have mass, they're traveling at exactly the speed of light.

  8. Re:As long as you have the space on Digital Packrats · · Score: 1

    I'm doubting his physical 'storage' figures.

    I wonder how the guy reached the figure of one gigabyte being equivalent to a pickup truck filled with paper. If he did it for 1 GB of text files, then how many people do you know carry around 10 GB in text? If most of the data carried around are pictures/media, then the amount of space taken up would be much less. I'm sure that a full photoalbum could contain '1 GB of data'.

  9. Re:Move along, move along on The Threat From Life on Mars · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But don't these items normally burn up in our atmosphere instead of being protected in space shuttle containers?

  12. Sorry to state the obvious... on Stern Will Jump To Sirius In 2006 · · Score: 0, Interesting

    But that's kind of a big risk...
    Howard Stern currently has an audience of 12 million listeners.
    ( according to yahoo )

    Is Sirius really expecting (at least) 8% of his audience to buy the equipment and subscribe just for Howard Stern?

  13. Re:Hang one outside the ISS !! on Overclockers Top 6GHz With A 3.6GHz-Rated P4 · · Score: 1

    Actually, due to the lack of air or surrounding matter in space, it would not be cooled off. Instead, it would likely overheat.

  14. Alienware's next product. on Overclockers Top 6GHz With A 3.6GHz-Rated P4 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Since Alienware charges $2000 for .4 Ghz of overclocking (with its 4 Ghz OCed processor) with really rich preppies buying them, then this would be worth... $12,000 more than normal?

    I think I can predict Alienware's next product.

  15. Boom on Build Your Robot Online · · Score: 1

    We now have a new source of fresh meat for robot wars!

  16. Re:Fischerandom Chess on Bobby Fischer Found · · Score: 1

    Fischer's Random is not something new. It has been around for years and is due to Fischer being out of chess theory for so long that playing normal chess would give him a significant disadvantage against Grandmaster opponents.
