  1. Re:Thoughts on Blake's 7 Remake In the Works · · Score: 1

    Well that should be fixed this season, since this is the LAST season of the current series :)

    The next project is called New Caprica, a prequel series to BSG.

    (I watch it for Grace Park, yummmmm)

  2. Re:It's not Really... on Researchers Infiltrate and 'Pollute' Storm Botnet · · Score: 1

    Then that computer should not have been connected to the internet.

  3. Re:What's the draw? on Guillermo del Toro Will Direct "The Hobbit" · · Score: 1

    Ah come on, those "sequels" were fun reads.
    I didn't expect a literary masterpiece, just nice pulp and that's what I got :)

  4. Re:Fuel leaking SR-71's on F-117A Stealth Fighter Retired · · Score: 1

    It sounds plausible enough :)

  5. Re:Fuel leaking SR-71's on F-117A Stealth Fighter Retired · · Score: 1

    That makes me wonder though, heating up that frame to quell the leaks, was this by design?
    or did they make the plane and thought "Oh crud, it's leaking" and later "Ok if you heat up from flight, they stop leaking, this is acceptable"
    ?

  6. Re:I tried to pick up a demo unit last week on InPhase Technologies Promises Holographic Drive in May · · Score: 1

    It's a stupid word anyway :)

  7. Re:Lawful reason on Laser Pointers Classed as Weapons in Australia · · Score: 1

    Yes you are a goddamn American, the article is about laserpointers in Australia, you know, the ex-convict colony :P

  8. Re:that was my reaction on Ballmer Calls Vista 'A Work In Progress' · · Score: 1

    showing a bit slowdown*

    (Turning off all the eye candy by switching to the classic gui probably helps though)

  9. Re:that was my reaction on Ballmer Calls Vista 'A Work In Progress' · · Score: 1

    My Vista is slowing a bit slowdown at the moment, after being online for 24 days.
    Last time it happened after 61 days of uptime.

    Maybe I'm lucky, but I don't have these problems and I'm not a light user.

  10. Re:My experience on What is the First Day in a University Lab Like? · · Score: 1

    I always wondered what "tenure" meant, but by the powers of dictionary.com and wikipedia I am now more informed :)

    In dutch we call it "vast contract" which basically means the same thing.

  11. Re:Will it exist in 30 days on $399 Mac Clone Most Likely a Hoax · · Score: 1

    I'm dutch so I probably got some information mixed up, but I think what he means that by saying "Booth was a patriot" is that even though shooting Lincoln was a crime, in his mind/heart Booth thought that he was doing what was best for the USA.

    That by definition makes him a patriot, even though he is a not that popular patriot, anybody care to correct me? please go ahead.

  12. Re:No autonomous but.... on Armed Robots Not Actually Gone From Iraq · · Score: 1

    It could be a Time Lord or a Vulcan :)

  13. Re:what really sank the Titanic .. on Weak Rivets May Have Sped Sinking of Titanic · · Score: 1

    Yeah DUH!, but good rivets would have held the ship afloat longer.
    Hence the word SPED

  14. Re:Should have suspected something....... on Stolen US Military Equipment Being Sold On eBay · · Score: 1

    Damn big lunchbox then ;)

  15. Re:Random chance cannot create complex systems on Ten Weirdest Types of Computers · · Score: 1

    Leaving a rock on another rock and watching it for a full day can be done by accident (sundial)

  16. Re:Figures, he's a Shoemaker on Blogger Subpoenaed for Criticizing Trial Lawyers · · Score: 1

    At least he isn't a shoe salesman like Al Bundy ;)

  17. Re:Blinded by the light on Blogger Subpoenaed for Criticizing Trial Lawyers · · Score: 1

    I think it's a fair question to ask though, with the news about this US government suppressing scientific reports because they don't coincide with their political agenda.

    I seriously doubt that's the case here, but it's a fair question :)

  18. Re:What a cop out! on Celebrity AD&D Character Sheets · · Score: 1

    Not all american tv or movies are bad

    tv that I like currently:
    - Daily show
    - Colbert report
    - scrubs
    - house
    - BSG

    Good movies:
    - American Beauty
    - A beautiful mind

    a lot is crap, but some stuff isn't :)

  19. Re:warranties on Disk Failure Rates More Myth Than Metric · · Score: 1

    How slow is molasses in january? compared to other months?

  21. Re:Never had a drive fail on Disk Failure Rates More Myth Than Metric · · Score: 1

    Ok, now I'm curious, how do you accidentally launch a hdd across a room?

    Please let there be a funny story behind it :)

  22. Re:Obvious. on Creative Vista Driver Modder Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    Heh, it sounded like a british expression, nobody in the US ever throws a fit for example, they get pissed :)

    (and nope, not an US-ian here, just plain dutch)

  23. Re:Obvious. on Creative Vista Driver Modder Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    Heh, I remember the first time I heard an AWE32, a few months later, I got myself one, old HUGE card, could have used it as a handsaw.

    That was excellent technology.
    Creative may be crap now, but back in the day, they were great :)

  24. Re:Obvious. on Creative Vista Driver Modder Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    "Creative threw a wobbly"

    Haha, excellent expression, never heard of it.
    Are you british by any chance??

  25. Re:Size vs Age on Scientists Discover Teeny Tiny Black Hole · · Score: 1

    If this were the case (and it would be incredibly interesting) maybe we could find out what happened before the big bang then :)

    or is this a silly thought?
