  1. Re:Doesn't need to be a spaceship on The Science and Physics of Back To the Future · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or it could be like the spaceship in Futurama. It doesn't travel at all, it moves the universe around itself.

    Except that in real life, "space ship" usually describes a vehicule to travel through space.

    It's not my fault if some people can't understand until you explain them every single detail.

    Not my fault if there's only one word to describe two things. ;)

    I was referring to the "the DeLorean would have to be an outstanding space ship" bit.

    See shaitand's reply, he said what I didn't in my original post.

    If you spend zero time in space, then you don't need to have spaceship capabilities, even if you travel enormous distances.

    Please don't add Star Trek DS9 or Stargate theories into the mix, some people already can't understand what I meant in my first post. ;)

    This is exactly what I meant, thank you.

    Sure, someone can't bother to actually READ what I wrote and suddenly I'm a troll.

    What part of "It did travel in time and moved from one point to another in the universe (to stay in the same spot on earth)" don't you people understand?

    Read my post again too.

    Read my post again.

  12. Doesn't need to be a spaceship on The Science and Physics of Back To the Future · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Since it was in space for 0.0000E+999 seconds, i.e. never.

    It did travel in time and moved from one point to another in the universe (to stay in the same spot on earth) but it didn't "travel in space", hence no need to be a spaceship.

    Yes it does. But that's still no excuse for Slashdot not supporting UTF-8. This is 2009, not 1999.

    Remember, kids! Don't pick your nose with your pinky or you'll poke your eyes out!

  17. Re:Not good enough on Dvorak Layout Claimed Not Superior To QWERTY · · Score: 2, Informative

    By the way, Qwerty was chosen for English, the French have a different QWERTY layout, because of the different frequency of occurrence of letters in their dictionary.

    I think you mean "the French have a different keyboard layout called AZERTY".

  18. Re:Depends on the ground on Tapping the Earth For Home Heating and Cooling · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Slashdot, which is supposed to be run by nerds, still doesn't support UTF-8. Simply use HTML entities next time.

    Indeed. I lost about 5 minutes searching for "Soyuz 0.8" on Wikipedia.
