  1. Re:Simple enough. on A Useful Grammar Checker? · · Score: 1
    All you need is my 7th grade English teacher staring over your shoulder all day.
    Only as long as she wears glasses, a mini-skirt (going commando), blouse haning mostly open (braless), 2" stilletto high heals, thigh-high stockings and a garter belt. I bet you that I'd never make a gramatical error in my life lest she leave.

    Gotta love the conceptual diagram:

    So.... is that NCC-1701, NCC-1701A, NCC-1701B, NCC-1701C, NCC-1701D, or NCC-1701E?

    He for got the cheezy porn music as the startup sound. Oh yeah! Random moans, grunts, and screams of exstacy are the sound events. Clicking the "M Spot" butt would make the start menu shot 2 legs straight up and have them part for the menu display.... (the logout button would be that place women always say "oops??!?!? YEAH RIGHT!" when you "accidentally" slip). Just some thoughts.

    Sure, go off and boycott Apple. Then we, who want to hear about Apple, can do so in peace.

  7. Re:_Great_ analogy on How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War? · · Score: 1

    Apparently, people are forgetting that there are other types of nukes that aren't the "strategic" kind. There are generally "strategic" and "tactical" nukes. Strategic = city/infrastructure busters (not what would be used for a bunker). Tactical = battlefield operations. These were of the nature that NATO commanders would use when the overwhelming numbers of the Warsaw Pact countries would attack. They wipe out large swaths of tanks and soldiers, but are confined to a relatively small area. In other words, these are small enough that they could just take out a block but hot enough to vaporize chemical, biological, and other nuclear devices. Oh, and leave a city standing.

  17. It's great as long as...... on Apple Rumored to Be After Samsung Flash Memory · · Score: 0, Troll

    You don't constantly add, remove, and overwrite files on the drive. The one drawback to using flash media is that it has a Limited Life Span. You can only write to each cell a certain number of times. So don't rush out and buy these if you plan on changing up what's on your list often.

  18. Re:Sorry to say it on Google's Turn To Be The Villain · · Score: 2, Insightful

    hat started a trend in Microsoft history where every product was either a stolen or bought-out design.
    And so it seems fitting that they gained a 90+% marketshare due to people stealing/ripping them off(read software piracy).

  19. Re:Today on Oxymoron Theatre: on X-15 Pilots Finally Get Astronaut Wings · · Score: 1
    I read this story this morning on SpaceRef, and I was struck with the absurdity of the concept of "astronaut wings", since wings are less than useful in a vacuum. Still, I suppose that there's a great deal of precedent for the "wings" decoration...it's interesting to speculate on whether or not the nomenclature will eventually be shifted to more accurately reflect the current level of technological development (the 'order of the silver booster', or some such). It's equally possible that the nomenclature will never be altered, out of a respect for tradition and a nostalgia for the good old days...it's conceiveable that in the future, an astronaut living on a space station could be award "wings" for some accomplishment of other, having never travelled in an atmosphere himself.

    Good to see these pilots get their props for their contributions, though, even if it is posthumously in the cases of John McKay and Joseph Walker, and even if surviving pilot Bill Dana seems unimpressed by the whole affair.

    **begin cpt. obvious**

    OR it could be that they are wings since they are pilots that happened to actually reach space......

    **end cpt. obvious**
