    That's way way better than Google Maps, but you can't identify a face that only takes up 4 "pixels". oh, really?

    a friend of mine put together a search page that hits up google, yahoo and msn live: http://www.searchthethree.com/ (be warned, it kinda pukes in internet explorer)

    it was mostly an experiment to see which site gave the best results...

    That's awesome... and the fact that someone else replied to this with essentially "lol" and got modded insightful is telling. *golf clap*

    I have started a new blog category just to archive the best comments I've run across, and this one alone kicks it off.

  11. Re:Comcast? on How Does Your ISP Handle Top-Usage Customers? · · Score: 1, Insightful
    were you referring to this TOS agreement? because nowhere is it stated 60GB/month. it does say newsgroups are limited to 2GB/month and this:

    You further agree to comply with all Comcast network, bandwidth, and data storage and usage limitations. You shall ensure that your bandwidth consumption using the Service does not exceed the limitations that are now in effect or may be established in the future.
    so, please, point us to where it says 60GB/month.

    i assume it has something to do with the number of connections and requests. for 1 large file, i'm thinking it's one request: gimme. for torrents it's "hey you, you, you, you, and you, and everyone else here, i don't have this .2%, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.

  18. Re:Refractivity? Or Reflectivity? on Reflectivity Reaches a New Low · · Score: 0

    actually, i think coating your car in this wouldn't do any good. it's not like your car will automatically go invisible, the material below this nanocoating will still reflect light, right back through the coating.

    what you would need is something that has a HIGHER reflectivity index, and angle them all crazy-like, reflecting it all over the place before sending it back, so the laser ends up getting several mixed signals.

    i've been a fan of NightShift for downloading the latest safari/webkit nightly builds. it leaves your current install alone, while giving you the ability to test the latest webkit. unfortunately, the current build doesn't like my safari plugins, though i'm not sure which one. pith helmet, saft, or safari stand.

    well.. i'm not all upset about the headline or anything, however, this is a valid point. As written the headline states that the "Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence Finally Finds Something." What do YOU think that implies?
