  1. Is it just me? on A9 Search Engine Launches Yellow Pages · · Score: 1

  4. Was I the only one? on Largest Digital Photograph in the World · · Score: 2, Funny

    Okay, is it just me or was anyone else totally expecting to see a 2.5 gigapixel image of goat.se?

    stopping startrek...
    stopping starwars...

    "kill -9" 'em all!

  6. Better than AT&T's Text to Speech ... on Online Replacements for Desktop Apps? · · Score: 1

    ...is NeoSpeech. It's not free but the humanistic quality is MUCH better than the AT&T demo.

  7. WOOT! on Interplanetary Network (IPN) Tested · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hellabad lag, but what a LAN party!

    Intergalactic PlanetarREEE!

  8. Re:Final? on Winamp 2 + Winamp 3 = Winamp 5! · · Score: 1

    Don't think so. There's already a alpha installer for v.6 (http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/early/)

  12. The ultimate goal... on Japanese Deploying Powered Exoskeletons for Elderly · · Score: 1

    Sounds like they're well on their way to a full body exoskeleton one day. ;-)

  14. Re:If you eat too much in the Matrix.... on BitTorrent Blamed for Matrix2 Downloads · · Score: 1

    Nah. Fishburne is pretty much built like a Sequoia trunk anyway.

  15. 16ft too on NASA Ames Research To Close Largest Windtunnels · · Score: 1

    Add to that list the 16ft Transonic tunnel at Langley.

  16. "It is time"? on New Terminator 3 Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    What a lame hook line. Whatever happened to "I'll be back" or "Hasta la vista, baby"? Now, those were decent memorable lines.

  17. Burnt smell detector on Sanyo Announces "Banryu" Home Security Robot · · Score: 1

    I can see how this thing would work out in an industrial setting (like patrolling a warehouse), but I can't see the average home user dropping their $$ for one. The thing would go apesh!t everytime you burn the toast!

  18. In memory... on More News And Links On Yesterday's Terrorist Attack · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In the aftermath of yesterday's gruesome terrorist attack, I'd like to recommend that we fly black ad banners on our sites for a few days in memory of the victims and their families.

    Just sitting back and waiting for Doug Englebart to call the patent police on this one! (that is, after they're finished with the whole "one-click ordering" hullaballoo...

  22. Top heavy? Nah!... on Pictures Of New Apple Cube? · · Score: 1

    In the photo, it looks like the plexiglass goes all the way around from top to bottom. As long as the footprint is > or = the top diameter (which it appears to be) it should be pretty sturdy. Also the guts of the cube look like they take up the upper 2/3 of the thing, preventing it from being truly top-heavy.

  23. CAVE: We're phasing it out... on U.S. Army Developing Prototype Holodeck · · Score: 2

    We have one here at the University of Virginia Center for Advanced Computational Tech. at NASA Langley. It's kinda neat the first few times, but there's the nagging problem of getting things to wrap around the corners of the room properly. To replace it, we've invested in ARC's VisionDome. Ooooooo... :-)

  24. Damn, damn, and double-damn! on Hemos is Homeless · · Score: 1

    Sorry to hear about the house, Hemos. Glad you guys are okay, though. I'll gladly donate a partition of my Linux box if you guys need anything mirrored or served.
