  1. Re:Toner Research on Lunar Dust: A Major Worry for Moon Visitors · · Score: 5, Informative

    Well for one, they don't use their actual space suits; they are special suits that look/work identical to actual suits made especially for the neutral buoyancy tank.

  2. Re:cablecard on The Rocky TiVo-DirecTV Relationship · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't say he is a "fucking liar", just uneducated. I modded you up because what you say is true but the opening is terribly unnecessary.

  3. Re:Perception on Online Business Model for a Band? · · Score: 1

    It's simply supply and demand and will always be this way. Whether you like it not, talent almost always makes more money than training.

    Their not. Engines are in the front and they are water cooled.

  5. Re:Why 2 standards? on Apple Backing Away From FireWire · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wrong. Firewire is 400mbps, Firewire 2 is 800mbps, usb 2.0 is 480mbps. Dayton

  6. Re:World War II on Elektro, the Oldest U.S. Robot · · Score: 2, Informative

    Eh, actually we would be behind a couple decades without WWII. Research into physics and chemistry really accelerated during the war, perhaps enough that without it, even the transistor would be a somewhat more recent invention.

  7. Re:Not me! on More On Silent Supersonic Planes · · Score: 1

    Some planes don't even have manual control anymore. For instance, the Airbus A300 series is fly-by-wire, which means there is no physical connection between the controls and the flaps, rudders, etc., just wires and actuators.

    Never has been a problem..

  8. nope! on Is Math A Sport? · · Score: 1

    It's not a sport anymore than hunting or fishing is. Not that math and the above aren't enjoyable. Sports are life!

  9. Re:Other vendors with the same bad attitude... on StorageTek Blocks 3rd Party Maintenance with DMCA · · Score: 1

    Yea, but in the long run, Lexmark lost. In the long run, I expect the DMCA to be either reovoked, or re-done with the consumer in mind. Believe it or not, there are several congressmen upset about it as we speek.

    The hell it's not terrorism. I own a couple current empty pole barns, bomb them and i'll kick their ass.. -d

  11. Unplug! on War Kayaking · · Score: 1

    Holy shit, can't anyone unplug for a bit? It feels good to be technology free for a week or two at a time (that includes cell)! -d

  12. Re:Soul? Who Cares... on Ars Technica Interviews Scott Collins · · Score: 1

    I have it installed on a vmachine myself. I swore I read it somewhere but after doing some googling I see remarks that it will be added, just that it should. Anyway, I stand corrected..

  13. Soul? Who Cares... on Ars Technica Interviews Scott Collins · · Score: 1

    With XPSP2 adding a popup blocker and tabbed browsing to IE, I have basically no use for an alternative. I dont use a browser to support the cause, I user a browser to browse the web. As long as it is fast and works, I couldn't care less who makes it.. -d
