  1. Re:Great news! on Cassini-Huygens Reaches Orbit Around Saturn · · Score: 1

    It's cute that the one that was excepted had bad spelling in the title.

    MICROSOFT SUCKS!

    However the story came out its still really cool. I wish it had been posted sooner. It's a little annoying that they waited for a different format rather than a timely article. The news was everywhere for hours before anything showed up here. Even my lame site had the story.

    You'll give me the variables thing, though. Murphy's law comes into play SOMEWHERE, right? Even when you're pretty sure everything will go okay the variables are what really kill you. I don't know.. maybe it the whole being a girl thing, but I would have been nervous.

  3. It's not the size that counts? on Cassini-Huygens Reaches Orbit Around Saturn · · Score: 1

    Show a kid a picture of the solar system and ask them which planet is their fav. It's Saturn. My 3 year old has already staked a claim to it. Then.. he's not trying to compensate for anything. :)

    See, you could have listed all of that stuff under 'a lot' like I did in my post. I don't understand you guys and your need to sound smart. :) You didn't have to go to the meeting either. You could have waited and read the CNN.com article like I did. (giggle.. sorry too much coffee) Then you wouldn't have had to leave your house.

    The antenna had to be moved into position to be a shield. You never know what lame part may mess up and ruin the whole show. I think what concerned me (as someone who knows nothing) was that it had to do a few things just right in order to make it and it's really hard to account for all of the variables.

    Get your own website and post your own news stories. I posted this story on my site around 7am. :) There are some awesome pictures. I know the quality isn't always that great, but it's really cool that it came from where it did.

    It had to do a lot to slow down and protect itself from the various particles and such. The rings of Saturn don't seem to be the most hospitble environment, ya know? I'm glad they pulled it off.

  8. Re:Not just for the disaster workers. on Mobile Cell Phone Towers For Disaster Relief · · Score: 1

    Yeah, what you said.. Except that I really doubt you'd get a good signal if you were trapped, ya know? You'd be better off screaming, or something more manly like yelling.

    There is the thing where you call your relatives to say you're okay. My husband better be trying his butt off to call me if he's ever in a disaster.

  10. Traffic on Mobile Cell Phone Towers For Disaster Relief · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Whether or not roads would be open is in question not to mention its slow response time. Maybe they could make it fly or something. It's always cool when things fly, right?

  11. Isn't that just Google's claim? on Affinity Engines Says Google Stole Orkut Code · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Google is saying Affinity refused. That doesn't make it so. They have an IPO to think about. We should make sure it's all true before we use the "s" word.

    But just to be sure everything is okay I'll give them a call. "I hope you're not mad at me"

  14. Re:Destined to be the most popular native app? on glabels: Ready For Prime Time · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You've never had a mindlessly boring desk job have you? It may not be cool, but it may be very popular with those assigned the most tedious tasks in the office. That's normally a girl, by the way. Anyway, it is a dull story. It still makes me happy, though.

  15. Re:A label maker? on glabels: Ready For Prime Time · · Score: 2, Funny

    But it caused the o so important plot twist for the episode. What would have happened if Bart hadn't put the label on there? He wouldn't have ended up in the well and we wouldn't have gotten to see Sting's badly drawn shirtless chest.

  16. Sorry, I'm still working on those labels on glabels: Ready For Prime Time · · Score: 4, Funny

    As a geek girl and former clerk I can say that it's really awesome to have software that gives me time to do things other than work. Labels are the most obnoxious thing to make, too. To quote Homer (guess which one): I hate them SO MUCH!

    They could build the base in Hawaii and send pictures from a large freezer.

    These e-mails can be a very good thing. How else would I know that aspartame kills diabetics and my kidney is in danger of being stolen after a night of drinking?

    He doesn't know what sex is yet. Did you ever catch your parents doing it? I mean... talk about trauma. The naked human bady isn't the problem. It's what is being done to that naked human body that causes the problem.

  21. Re:this law stinks on Supreme Court Rules Against Anti-Porn Law · · Score: 1

    I agree in that you can't trust anyone else to protect your kid from anything. My 3 year old likes to use the computer. Soon he'll be on the internet. I think I can safely say that 'protecting' is a good word for keeping him away from porn/violence/bad language. Don't you?
