    Perhaps it's a matter of the kids today seeing where liberal higgledy piggledy-ness has taken us? Remember the saying, "out of the mouths of babes..."

    So when is someone going to come up with a self righting pogo stick? Now THAT would probably get some serious funding from the insurance industry!

  4. Ticklemonster's theory of relevance, it's a fact. on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1
    You all do of course realize that Darwin believed in a creator, don't you?

    As has been said, the theory of evolution never states anything about where anything came from in the first place, so creationism and evolution are two totally different topics that only nattering nabobs would waste their time fightng over. Apples and oranges, you dopes. Now quit with the mental gymnastics before you hurt yourselves.

    What was created could very well evolve, and that is the theory. Ring species are just nature's law that keeps cousins from makin' teh babies, you know. lol

  8. But what about the harmful stuff? on Microsoft Sues Spammers · · Score: 5, Interesting
    My 10 year old son apparently registered at a gaming site that sells email addresses, because for a long time, he was getting pron emails. This has finally stopped, so I think either they gave up, or perhaps Moft is doing some good.

    But what I wonder, is why isn't Moft going after the spyware and all that put stuff on your machine that, if you remove it, it makes your machine act funky? Isn't that damaging their product, IE?, or sometimes even Windblows itself is messed up.

    Spam is a nuisance, but the adware and spyware are, imho, what are the biggest threat to people's computers. Of course, far be it from me to complain, because I make a liiiiittle on the side cleaning up machines over and over and over a freaking gain, but really, I think Moft should go out and start nailing some of these folks hard.

    (btw, Moft means Microsoft)

    That's my two cents, I expect no one to pay any attention to it, lol.

  12. Re:20" on Shaking Hard Drives Instead of Spinning? · · Score: 1
    I'm guessing here, but in that it said "can be" might not mean "has to be". Perhaps "can be" means that a media up to that size can be stimulated efficiently enough to be used for the purpose of storage.

    As for the noise it would make, I would also guess that people are stuck thinking of the kind of vibrations one would expect to hear from a lonley spinster's house on a late Saturday night, not the un noticable sound one hears from the vibrations of a quartz watch.

    Can you imagine a sheet stacked along the edge of your computer case that holds 500+ gigs, matches the cpu for speed, and doesn't sound like an sr71 spinning up for takeoff?

  16. It will get much worse. on Zombie Networks On The Rise · · Score: 1

    Considering the technology to use dll hooks to bypass protection in online gaming, one must consider the ramifications if the technology gets in the wrong hands. Of course one of the people releasing the hooks the most is also a person who used to have loads of trojans downloadable on his clan's website, so that does not take much stretch of the imagination to make one fear the future abilities of viral scum. Fortunately, there are files like the ones called UTDC that catch the hooks, but then the author of the hook just releases a new one. Funny thing is, that this time, the UTDC fellow is on the Hook kook, has his number and puts out a new protection immediately afterwards. No, tickle may not pwn you any more, but there is always going to be someone who does.

  17. Re:Stay away... on Antarctic Craters Reveal Asteroid Strike · · Score: 1

    Not too far off, probably. I seem to recall that the farther south they have been going in South America, the older that the civilizations that they dig up are. This has always made me think that somewhere under the ice there are the remains of an ancient civilazation. Chances are that this is all balderdash, but until someone can see under the ice, you just never know.

  18. Re:Weather on When Lightning Strikes · · Score: 1

    A weather spotter? I am a weather spotter for Skywarn, probably the same thing. KF4SMU is my call sign. Ham operators are the ones who usually make up the majority (if not all) of the spotters for the weather service. Trained to observe the weather and report facts, they (spotters) are the only reliable source the weather service has (other than wanton destruction, but by then, it's too late). If a cell is determined to have the makings of a tornado, the weather service puts out the alert, and the hams head out to certain doom. Using 2 meter or 440s to contact net control, these spotters give confirmation to the net controller that either a funnel cloud is whisping about, or that indeed it touched down and is in search of the nearest trailer park. The net controller then contacts the weather service with this confirmation. Ham operators many times are organized to give communications support to local emergency management agencies (unless they are headed by an total moron, ahem) to help with keeping traffic through the 911 centers at a minimum. The weather spotters and ham operators are the unsung heros of ... well, something, we just can't figure that out yet. lol

    If I can figure out how they make money, I want to open one here in Rome, Ga. We have 4 colleges here we can draw from, 3 law enforcement agencys I can get to compete in matches (already spoke to swat about how if there were a hostage situation, and basic designs were known, a map could be made of a building giving shooters a working knowlege of the area, he liked that very much). There has to be a way to make it make money, and I'm not interested in just game consoles, I want them and pcs server hosting, the works. But no alcohol whatsoever. I would build my own machines to save startup costs, would want to have 10 machines running, and set up just a few servers for UT. But crunching the numbers does nothing but make my computer laff at me. And I got the financial backing to do it, just don't want to get out on that limb. Maybe there is an online resource for people looking to set up gaming centers...
