  1. Re:Not a big deal on pcHDTV Card Available, Legal for Now · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, here in Europe we use PAL instead of NTSC, so a European card wont do the job. Dont know about Asia though

  2. Re:"Seattle Times" --Dasani is Purified Sewage Wat on Would You Drink This Water? · · Score: 1

    According to the article, n1 selling bottled water in US is "Aquafina", which is also purified tap water... More interesting is that "Aquafina" is the also name of the government company that filters all sewage water in Belgium.

  3. Re:Well, one can easily argue for metric on Our Friend, The Meter · · Score: 1

    Except for the fact that a calorie isn't the official measurement for energy, it's the Joule.
    So that would be: heat 1000 grams of mass 1 degree Kelvin, it will cost you 4186 joules..

  6. Re:4 Billion yo? on Meteorite Crashes Through New Zealand Roof · · Score: 1

    IANAP, but radiometric meting wouldn't work either, because those things only work for stuff found on earth.
    The ammount per total mass of isotopes in a specimen is compared to the ammount per total mass of other object on earth of which we know the age for sure. So, for a meteorite, it wouldn't work, I guess.

  8. Re:Santorini? on Atlantis: Discovered at Last? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'be heard that too, actually, while I was there a couple of years ago. I've visited ancient Thera, which was said to be some part of Atlantis. Its beginnings predated the Minoan civilisation, and I was quite developed fot that time. However, since almost the whole island was gone during gigantic volcano eruption, there wasn't many left. (the eruption was also said to have caused the end of the Minoan culture on Crete) Check out this site for more information
