  1. Re:Googleearth on Mars Rover Technology Used to Make Better Maps · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You buy the enterprise version for that. Does area etc. The free version does very accurate distance measurement. It shows my 30' fith wheel as 30'. Shows logs I have visited at their actual length. I dunno what more you need. I'll get the plus version to import GPS data when I go a crusin' this spring.

      Yamaha WR450F and Vancouver Island with Googleearth + GPS. Hard to beat for crazy fun ;).

  2. Googleearth on Mars Rover Technology Used to Make Better Maps · · Score: 4, Informative

    These people even look at googleearth?

      Googleearth 4.2 does very accurate 3D mapping if the res is high enough. I have found nearly invisible old trails and use it's 3D powers daily. Very cool to fly down the valleys on Vancouver Island at an apparent height of say 300 meters looking for ways through to the next logging road network. I've found nearly invisible crossings through ravines and it is killer for my purposes.

      I dunno how they can do much more than bring up the resolution.

  3. Re:Unbalanced article. on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon vs. Mac OS X Leopard · · Score: 1

    So the terminal in OS X is somehow better than rxvt? I consider that to be the interface, all else is linked tits for the feeble minded. You work on improving their productivity, hey you can watch the skies for us too Earl, sorry ... Brad.

      Grouches off. It's the damn TV I tell ... you! The kids these days can't even read let alone type anything.

    Mostly off road logging trucks in this part of the world. 100 ton+ 14' wide and driven by madmen. Huge water tanks so the brakes don't melt.

      The bones are often crushed and scattered before mother nature makes them ... "litter".

    Opty 165 @ 2.3GHz 2G ram. Nothing too special.

    Xpdf opens a 114M file in under 2 secs and a 25M one is pretty well instantaneous. Some kind of windose problem no doubt.

    I love FOX. I just run it in the background. They say at least 3 batshit crazy things an hour. It does make me laugh.

    No .... I believe that may be the Wisdom Cube's cousin, the DumbAssATron.

  11. Re:There is no war on terror on Schneier On the War On the Unexpected · · Score: 1

    You are the only people who have used nuclear weapons in anger. The reason these powers want nukes is because you don't attack people with nukes. You cannot use one in todays world you'd be gone right away but they will make the stakes too high for the US to attack you.

      It's pretty simple really but your slogans, like all slogans, blind and confuse you.

      You elected George Bush twice. You have had your time in the sun. Please get out of the way. We have a world full of people who want something better.

    No it's your war on yourselves. You seem to be both winning and losing, not surprising.

      Please attack Iran ... it will finish you as a great power and that will be a good thing.

  13. Doom on Today's Gamers, Tomorrow's Leaders? · · Score: 1

    I dunno the only real thing I learned was what to do if I wake up in hell, not all that unlikely actually.

      Altogether now ... "look for a shotgun and get down".

  14. What is this thing you call Firewall? on OS X Leopard Firewall Flawed · · Score: 1

    My slak life has insulated me from many things. You have fires that will burn macs? Neato.

      Seriously I've never seen the need and I been out here a long time. Turn off what you don't need until you need it and then turn it back off when you done.

    Impressive ... the "have always known" thing. I would find that impossible but I'm just a boring old slak man.

  16. User Hostile on Where Does Linux Go From Here? · · Score: 1

    It's on purpose. We do not need the hordes of riff raff pawing our lovely OS. We need the many greedy assholes who would like to coral and milk to their purpose even less.

      Have a nice day marroons.

    Fuck the corporate world and the horse it rode in on. You are so brainwashed by these marroons that you believe their self serving bullshit.

    Considering the current state of the US government and it's apparent direction ... anarchy is a quality choice, at least there is some semblance of fairness. Go ... Pirates ... Go.

    Well at least it'll be fairly easy to destroy. Those big ol geosynchronous birds are sitting ducks. Any major conflict will require it's destruction.

    Wow the moderation here is rapidly deteriorating. Having spent a large part of my /. interaction at 0 it's no big deal but the level this is now at is actively hurting the site. Which also is no big deal to me.
