  1. This makes me wonder. on Microsoft Expects 1 Billion Windows Users by 2010 · · Score: 0

    How many of these will be cheap 5 dollar warez versions used in 3rd world countries ?
    However given MS tendency to force users to new hardware they will be probably using Linux or *BSD.

  2. Victory of SCIENCE over ECOIDIOLOGY on Cassini-Huygens Saturn Orbit Insertion Imminent · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Remember when Greenpeace and other eco-idiologists wanted to abort the Hygens-Cassini mission due to the Plutonium batteries because they might drop back on earth and contain TEH EVIL RADIOACTIVE PLUTONIUM which would kill seals and cute little children ?
    Lucky the officials at NASA and ESA weren't that stupid and fought off this attack.
    The tremendous success of this mission illustrates how these 21th century idiologists are could stiffle science and cause harm for the whole world.
    It makes me wonder if we could get this done today or in year with the eco rising to power in Europe and perhaps US after the elections, too.

  3. This raises the question: on Nvidia Reintroduces SLI with GeForce 6800 Series · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why don't they make a graphics card with two GPU and double memory size ? Or wouldn't fit on of these buggers into a computer case ? Yes they exploit the dual PCIex busses, but it doubt that they really use the would bandwith.

  4. Why drilling from a ship ? on Drilling Under the Sea · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Why isn't a robotic drilling submarine used ? It could operate in any depths and the drilling operation wouldn't depend on local weather condition.
