    There have been cooling systems on /. that cost at least as much as 2 liters of this. I wouldn't be surprised if someone was already doing it.

  2. Re:Perhaps a more fitting tribute? on Asteroid Named After Douglas Adams · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think the most fitting tribute possible would be for the upcoming HHGTTG movie not to be absolute crap. Aside from that, this is quite a tribute from astronomers, being as they don't quite have the resources to manage your other suggestions. Have to work with what you have at hand and such.
    Didn't someone name a new species of beetle after DNA a year or so ago? If so QED. If not... I wish I knew why I thought so...

  3. Re:That's why on Is the Linux Desktop Getting Heavier and Slower? · · Score: 1

    When I started using linux I wanted it to be a little challenging, I imagine a bunch of people here feel that way. When I finally started using emacs, centericq, and mpg123 efficiently, just to name a few, I learned to appreciate that the command line can be faster and much better looking, imho. I use blackbox and some transparent terminals and I have an attractive workspace that can launch web-browsers, graphics utilities, office tools, and games in a click and a drag, or an alias. Pretty much everything else requires me to be inputing text, so why not just start at the keyboard?

  4. Re:Movie theater automatic ticket machine on Software Vending Machines · · Score: 1

    The machines you're refering to really took off at a movie theater that I used to work at. All of the managers started joking about needing less employees, which I of course found hilarious because it was my job the machines were mockingly holding by a thread. A few months later I read an article about replacing projectionists with digital projectors and satellite streams. The projectionists have a union, but the ticket monkeys don't. How hard would it be to do this at McDonald's? Nobody cares now, but if my CS degree doesn't pan out, I might be competing with a player piano for the blessing of menial labor.
