  1. You must be joking on MS Fights Gmail With 2-GB Exchange Mailboxes · · Score: 1

    = 20 MB mail boxes thankyou very much... Something to do with out IT department signing a ridiculously long contract with no foresight. Sound familiar?

  2. Re:Might be a bit of a dumb question, but... on Optimized International Firefox Builds From MOOX · · Score: 5, Informative

    IIRC, each build is optimised for a certain architecture. So a dowload for a Athlon would have different optimisations to a P4 download and one would probably not work on the other architecture. Mozilla just realease one build that will work with all processor types (well x86 for example). It would be confusing to most users to have to chose a specific build and the speed increase is probably not worth it.

  3. Re:1x10^6 rounds per minute - inaccurate stats. on Future Weapons of War in the Works · · Score: 2, Informative

    Think you are getting a bit confused. The electrical charge only ignites the propelent in the bullets, it doesnt actually propel them forward. Also the article talks about multi barrel systems...so your speed calcs might be slightly off.

  4. Re:Metal Storm on Future Weapons of War in the Works · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ummmmm...doesn't jam? Sounds pretty useful to me. Also means less to clean, and man is it boring cleaning a weapon. All round a pretty good idea...

  5. Re:Humans in space is just PR on Going Back to the Moon and Mars · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I disagree. A machine in space can only be as good as its designer. Humans will always be more intuitive and flexible than any machine we can design. If the human race seriously want to colonise the solar system then Human exploration is the only way. Having said that, if all you care about is finding out about how the solar system was formed then you wont mind waiting for machines to find out. If it takes 50 years...

  6. Fuck Me on The War Of The Word · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does he actually do any work or just write his blog?

  7. Re:Methanol more usefull still on Ethanol From Waste Straw · · Score: 1

    No.... Methanol + Water corodes metal and is generally a bad idea. Hence all the research into hydrogen...
