  3. Conspiracy..bah on Cube Farm · · Score: 5, Funny
    turns into paranoid shaven-headed slacker (and Church of the Subgenius minister) who sees conspiracy theories under every rock.

    There really are no conspiracies, however 'THEM' is surreptitiously trying to make us believe that there are conspiracies in an effort to draw our attention away from what is actually going on. You see if I actually believed in copnsipiracies, then I would be waisting my time trying to prove said conspiracies, instead of trying to uncover the REAL truth. However, since there are no conspiracies, 'THEM' cannot conspire to create conspiracies, and therefore I do not have to waste my time trying to figure them out. Then again, if 'THEM' is trying to make us believe there are conspiracies, when there are really no conspiracies, then there is a conspiracy to creat conspiracies. Hah, they will not fool me - Since there are no conspiracies, there cannot be a conspiracy to create conspiracies, therefore I will still be able to focus on discovering the truth.

    but I'm still playing Unreal Tournament (99). I typically stick to a first person shooter, until a significantly better one comes out (I played quake 1, all the way up until UT came out). Further, I usually skip the 'story' modes, preferring to fight against human players. Maybe I'm getting old, but thats MHO. Playing Halo on the X-Box was a pain. Even with a large screen TV, having four players splitting the screen was horrible. Nevertheless, once you can seriously lan party these consoles, that may be the day which I leave the PC for an FPS.

  13. Power Boost? on Evidence of Glaciers on Mars? · · Score: 1
    We're surmising that for some reason dust is being removed from the solar panel and that's increasing the efficiency of the sunlight being converted to electricity

    maybe the ambient light on mars, in the proper spectrum is greater than expected. i.e. a higher number of lumens?

    maybe the properties (refractivity/reflectivity?) of the dust have a quality that allows the light to pass through at a greater rate than expected? or is it possible for them to emit a non-visible spectrum which can be used by the solar cells?

    maybe the little green men have a vacuum cleaner and were doing some housekeeping

    Maybe they used Duracell(tm) , i.e. for once maybe something (batteries) are more efficient than initially thought

    are they measuring things like this?...perhaps someone can enlighten us.

    that some of these 'technologies' are interesting, I just wonder what effect hindsight had on the improvement of some of them.

    For instance, the traffic light is new. However, there version could be viewed as an improvement. BUT, they had something to build on. I'm sure that in other countries, different and better (than what those countries currently use) traffic lights have been invented. But, there is a standard already in place - one that must be changed slowly due to it's nature.

    This is not to say China does not have better tech, just wondering what the impact is of having a different starting point, etc.

  16. and an article on Herbicide Resistance in weeds on Round-Up Ready Coca Plants · · Score: 2, Informative
  17. Simple on Round-Up Ready Coca Plants · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Stuff wants to live. There has to be a non zero probability that a small group of coca plants have a mutated gene which is resistant to whatever herbicide they are using. If the plants are allowed to pollinate naturally, then it would follow that eventually this gene would spread to a larger number of plants and since the herbicide is killing of non resistant plants, I would think this would allow for a quicker propagation of the ristant plants due to decreased competition from non-resistant plants.

  19. for those who don't know what WSH is - like me on No-Click Phishing On The Way · · Score: 4, Informative
    HERE

    Windows Script Host (WSH) is a Windows administration tool.

    WSH creates an environment for hosting scripts. That is, when a script arrives at your computer, WSH plays the part of the host -- it makes objects and services available for the script and provides a set of guidelines within which the script is executed. Among other things, Windows Script Host manages security and invokes the appropriate script engine.

    WSH is language-independent for WSH-compliant scripting engines. It brings simple, powerful, and flexible scripting to the Windows platform, allowing you to run scripts from both the Windows desktop and the command prompt.

    Windows Script Host is ideal for noninteractive scripting needs, such as logon scripting, administrative scripting, and machine automation. WSH Objects and Services

    Windows Script Host provides several objects for direct manipulation of script execution, as well as helper functions for other actions. Using these objects and services, you can accomplish tasks such as the following:

    • * Print messages to the screen

      * Run basic functions such as CreateObject and GetObject

      * Map network drives

      * Connect to printers

      * Retrieve and modify environment variables

      * Modify registry keys

    Where Is WSH?

    Windows Script Host is built into Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, and Millennium Editions. If you are running Windows 95, you can download Windows Script Host 5.6 from the Microsoft Windows Script Technologies Web site (http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting).

    Note You can also go to the web site listed above to upgrade your current engines. The version of WSH in Windows 98, 2000, and Millennium Editions is either version 1.0 or 2.0. You must upgrade to version 5.6 to get the new features.
