    No No No. We should mount it on the moon and call it a "death star".

  2. Global Warming on AT&T Calls Telecommuters Back To the Cubicle · · Score: 1

    We can blame global warming on AT&T becasue they are making 10-12k people drive to work...where is the justice in the world.

    Joking aside, imagine the cost that AT&T will have to incur in offering a facility, electricity, infrastrucute, and other brick and morter expenses to house 10k+ employees.

  6. Re:Extrapolation of probability using two variable on Scientists Offer 'Overwhelming' Evidence Terran Life Began in Space · · Score: 1

    I have a question for everyone. The conception is that we were the first products of this solar system. (Disclaimer) I am by no means an expect or even a newbie on solar history) From what I have learned is that there was a sun and possible system pre-dating our sun which would have had exploded. The evidence is in the heavy elements with in our planet that are not created unless in certain cataclysmic events.

    So if the star exploded then a planet with proto-life in our (old) system would get destroyed and sent to space as fragments and frozen water. When this system reformed and eventually the gravitational pull from the current sun pulled the material back; the existing material would be pulled back to the planetoids.

  7. Re:Makes BeyondTV an economical alternative on MythTV Scheduling Service Reveals Pricing · · Score: 1

    How many of us use the Hauppauge cards? I have three two 250's and a 500. This week I signed up for DISH Network HD with a 200 hour SD DVR or 30 hours HD (the whole package was $5 more then Time Warner basic in my area). So for what I was going to be paying for the program guide I get a dual tuner HD DVR. I have used Myth since .15, and completely loved it, especially the commercial flagging, but for $5/month I will trade up to HD and be in the same spot.

    I am live in the Linux/Windows/iSeries world so the next comment is my impression.

    The "deal" with the Hauppauge's is that if you install them in Windows, which includes basic recording software from the provider, you get the program guide free from TitanTV. Or...gulp!....install MCE.

    In about 3 days my MythBox will be demoted to Home Distribution DVD/Music Server or formated to go after the TitanTV guide. Unless anyone knows how to get guide data on the myth for the central area Dish Network and record on Coax (ch 68) or composite inputs (Free).

    Again, I enjoyed Myth but...this is a market of many possibilities.

    Was that not the purpose of the 2nd Amendment to the US constitution? So as to enable the people to re-take control if the government got out of hand.


    We have the opportunity at every election, unfortunately we choose not to exercise it. I was just having a conversation this morning about how our local officials are weasels. Will things change, absolutely not because of the meager percentage of people that exercise their right to vote and most go by what they are spun and not by what really goes on. I watch recast of my local board meetings, it is appalling. Many Americans that could make a difference are just sheep lead by the best looking food cart.
  10. Re:Well on Students Protest Turnitin.com · · Score: 1

    Alright, so if you are using my writings to offer a pay service. Where are my royalties?

    Also, is it not a brilliant idea that schools are paying a third party for the third party to have the rights to keep and search your paper to earn more money in which the IP owner has no rights. Sounds like the typical corporate/institutional BS.

    Will someone think of the kids? Also is it plagerisim if I use my paper and expand it for another class?

    When I catch up to live TV on my DVR I get up and go the the fridge or pantry. Not becasue I am hungry but because I hate commericals. So by stopping me from fast forwarding my commercials I will gain weight. Move over Mc D's here is ABC...

  13. Re:Sorry on First Results From Deep Impact Mission · · Score: 1

    I agree with smooth_wombat. Although we compare this to sand, I would imagine it more like clay. When it is dry it is very "dusty" and loose. Dig 3" in to the ground and you give up. Clay is lighter then sand when you mix both in water...anyways.

    What happens to clay or very small particles when they are heated. Out side becomes rock hard and the center would still be "loose" in the thought of when dispursed in air or water.

    Anyways...again....I don't care if it is a rock or a sand dune. Anything coming at us at that speed is going to hurt...I think they call it MASS!!.
