  1. Re:Still have my Amiga 1000 on Happy Birthday, Amiga · · Score: 1

    F/A-18 Interceptor! I remember that game too. I can't count the number of times I barreled into the carrier deck until I figured out you can't land at 400 kts (but damn if I didnt try)

  2. Re:Something tells me on New Devices Help Track Olympic Winners · · Score: 5, Insightful

    True, but it definitely does have to exceed the athlete's abilities. It seems that every Olympics the margin between Gold, Silver and Bronze gets smaller and smaller. What was the difference between Gold and Bronze in the Men's 100M Dash? .02 of a sec. If the technology was even 10 years older, they would probably have called a tie between all three of them.

  3. Anyone else notice? on Linus Adopts Enhanced Tracking Process · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That this article was on the front page of Google News in the Sci/Tech section? Perhaps it'll still be there. Google News Sci/Tech

  4. Re:$46,000!?! on CMU's Snooping Robot Headed for Iraq · · Score: 1

    Considering the average cost of a laser guided bomb is ~$30K and even the "cheap" JDAM precision munition kit is ~$18K. Is $23,000 such a high price ? And how many of these robots can you buy for the cost of one Tomahawk missile? (BTW, they're ~1M USD apiece)

  5. Re:Solution: sue the patent office on Patents and the Penguin · · Score: 1

    " Only Americans would moderate the truth as 'Troll' or 'Flamebait' " -Anonymous

    That's because there's no ratings for 'Naive' or 'Ignorant'

  6. Re:Space Burial Repercussions? on Space Burial · · Score: 1

    Do you not read the article before posting? It says they will be sending up seven grams of ashes. Not much chance of spreading death and disease with those.
