  1. How is this better? on RadioShark Is Vaporware No More · · Score: 1

    Couldn't all the features mentioned for the Radioshark be duplicated using an old radio with a recordable tape deck?

    Record real time radio shows (hit rec and play at the same time for the cassette tape)

    Play back when you want (hit play)

    Save (take the cassette tape out)

    Plus, with a cassette recorder, it's portable.

  2. Re:Live Pr0n - No time to photoshop! on Canon's new 16.7MP Digital SLR, with WiFi · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is going to make photos get to the web so fast that no one will have time to photoshop the blemishes and ugly faces. Pr0n will start to lose its appeal!

    All those models are really 200lbs beasts with the image scaled 50%. Really... it's true!

  6. Save time, don't read, watch the movie! on 11,000 Words on the Star Wars Trilogy DVDs · · Score: 2, Funny

    In the time it takes to read through 11K worth of review, you could have watched the movie.

    I'm pretty sure we all understand the movie. Afterall, it has been around since the days Carrie Fisher looked hot in a bikini.

  7. Re:Focus people! FOCUS!!! on SunnComm - Bomb or DRM Success Story? · · Score: 1

    But what I want to know is how does everyone get paid, how do the bills get paid, where does revenue come in? Lastly, why aren't creditors knocking down your door with a ram?

    If you can answer those questions, we should get together and talk some business. :)

  8. Focus people! FOCUS!!! on SunnComm - Bomb or DRM Success Story? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This business doesn't seem to have any idea as to what it really wants to do. The CEO seems like the type of person that could be easily influenced by his surroundings.

    *CEO walking down street*
    "Hmm... I think I'll have a hot dog. Aren't they also called tube steaks? Steak! Maybe I'll run a steak restaurant. I'll need meat. But I need a butcher to cut it. Butcher shop..."

    This guy just doesn't have any focus. If he just stuck to one plan and worked at it, he'd actually have a legitimate business rather than a mirage.

    How on earth does a business that lives off shams stay afloat for so long?!?

  9. Jobs is most important!! on Gates, Jobs, Torvalds: Who is Most Important? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Jobs, as in careers. Who doesn't want a stable steady challenging Job.

    As for Steve Jobs? What has HE done for me LATELY?

  10. GMail invites = SPAM???? on Hotmail Cracks Down on Spam · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I've sent gmail invites to friends who have hotmail. All of them claim to not have received it. WTF is going on?

    Is that some sort of censorship, or have they got their SPAM filters pointed at gmail?

  11. Re:Spitting on Tuberculosis May Become A Global Threat Again · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It probably has less to do with the spitting than it does with the fact that London, amongst many is a metropolitan city with many immigrants from third world countries. These immigrants likely carriers of the TB bacteria in their lungs. While they may be immune, those around them are not. This is similar to when the Spanish crossed the Atlantic and brought germs that wiped out large populations of Mexican natives (check out the book "Guns, Germs and Steel" - Jarod Diamond).

    Also, given that in a city the population is quite dense, TB has a lot of options to spread (it is airbourne).

    The best way to avoid TB... wear a mask, it block up to 98%. Better than nothing.

  12. Re:That's what happens... on Tuberculosis May Become A Global Threat Again · · Score: 1

    The last I checked, TB is a disease caused by a bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis to be exact.

    The likely reason why this bacteria has grown resistance to antibiotics is from people not finishing their prescription when they are suppose to. Doctor gives a patient a 2 week dose of antibiotics; the patient feels fine by the 9th day, and stops drug treatment. The last remaining population of bacteria who have been slowly losing the war against the drug now have a chance recuperate. But by now, the population is so low that the body in its recovered state will kill them off, but not before the bacteria gets expelled out of the lungs through a cough, or simple breathing. The next person cultivates the strain, and presto, we get antibiotic resistant bugs.

  13. Re:It's about time... WWI-WWII on Tuberculosis May Become A Global Threat Again · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's only been about 60 years since the last population decrease.

    Of course that population dwindling took out lots of the genetically strong specimens and left a pile of weak ones in its place.

    So I guess it goes both ways...

  14. Not a total loss on Genesis Capsule Crashes; Chutes Blamed · · Score: 1

    Why didn't anyone tell me this earlier?

    I still have 2532 floppy disks of Doom 3 left to install!!

  16. Theft possibility? on Port-A-Nuke · · Score: 1

    If it's so portable, wouldn't you think that in a developing society, security would NOT be the #1 priority that this unit could be stolen?

    Any fly by night operation could just pick it up and disappear. Presto, the by products of this unit could produce some pretty nasty results if put in the proper hands.

    My friend who has a post-doc in physics says he can put together a nuke easily, but obtaining the materials to do so would be the difficult part. This whole portable nuke facility seems to solve that dilema.

  17. Re:Space Tubes on Space-Age Houses · · Score: 1

    Say you got stuck in the pneumatic tube, would you get a large full body hicky?

  18. Re:Antartic...Space? - Earth Prototype on Space-Age Houses · · Score: 1

    If you were someone that would actually get a chance to live in one of these in space, wouldn't you like to know that the structure could at least withstand the vigours of being in the Antartic before being placed on the moon or Mars?

  19. Re:probably change towards good on MIT Names First Female President · · Score: 1

    it sounds like you just argued that having women in the workplace will make us all less happy. maybe you want to re-think this one?

    That would suck, not having women in the workforce, I mean, who would I stare at, and try to pick up? Oh, and what would happen to all the strip clubs and Hooter's restaurants? The world will quickly dull.

  20. Re:things to say on Winamp Skin Exploit in the Wild · · Score: 1

    Whole lot easier to break something than it is to create something.

    Particularly when you have that something in front of you and you can analyze it to death. Which is why you don't see exploits of things yet to be created. :)

  21. Re:Another hitch on A Flying Leap for Cars? · · Score: 1

    With that in mind, I wonder what new episodes of "World's Most Dangerous Pursuits" will contain as footage?

    I imagine that the PITT maneuver with two flying cars or the flying car version of the "spike strip" would provide a spectacular show!

  22. Re:Star Wars Landspeeder on A Flying Leap for Cars? · · Score: 1

    What's the advantage of a landspeeder over a car? Less tire wear?

    The coolness factor!

    A stacked column of flying cars alleviate congestion in some sense, but it would be essentially a wall that blocks our view of the sky, and how would the birds get around?

  23. Re:OT: I bet spherical wheels will be here first on A Flying Leap for Cars? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Spherical wheels have less contact patch to the road than regular wheels do. Also, what sort of tread pattern do you use on spherical wheels that go in all directions? Better to have regular wheels with 180 degrees of turning capability than spherical wheels. Probably easier too.

  24. Star Wars Landspeeder on A Flying Leap for Cars? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Everyone automatically pictures cars flying WAAAAY up in the air, but how feasible is that? Traffic control would just be a nightmare to deal with. Getting stuck in bumper to bumper traffic in mid air can only lead to problems. Say you run out of fuel, do you just drop out of the sky?

    I say we make the flying cars just like the Landspeeders. It's still flying, and in the worst case scenario we only fall 2 feet!

  25. I'll be ok with that... on Internet Meltdown Predicted for Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Doesn't this just mean a day off for most of us? At my work, no internet, and the place is useless. I mean, if your servers and network are secure, but the rest of the net is down, there really isn't much left for you to do but wait until everyone else gets their act together.

    Just a day off if you ask me.
