  1. Re:Space Elevator on Sir Arthur Speaks · · Score: 1

    Well, at least if we do it, we won't have to be dodging Deimos and Phobos as the elevator rotates..

    but using Buckminsterfullerenes is cool..

    I think in the Mars Trilogy they called em "Bucky Balls" kinda cool..

  2. oops. on Linux Showdown, Or What Do You Want to Know in Linux? · · Score: 1

    thanks for catching that.. sig now fixed

    silly me.. not checking how to spell my
    latin phrases..


  3. Re:My Questions on Linux Showdown, Or What Do You Want to Know in Linux? · · Score: 1

    Well, i know the answer to the one REALLY BIG QUESTION you were gonna ask is 42...

  4. Re:Another young founder... on CTO is Too Young for Comdex · · Score: 1

    CTO - chief technology officer
    COO - chief operations officer

    also..

    CIO - chief information officer
    CFO - chief financial officer..

  5. wwn or COSMO.. on How Not to Attract Geeks · · Score: 1

    what a bunch of rhetorical crap... i think it's a pretty large assumption to say that "geeks" are only attracted to women who seem "introverted"... i know a lot of "technicallly-inclined" guys who prefer the women in their lives to be strong both in speech and personality..

    Summary: Blecch!!!

  6. Re:Oh and one other on William Gibson in The News · · Score: 1

    movie better than the book.. yeah f'in right!!!

    the movie was so much commercialized crap and one of the many (with the exception of The Matrix) weak performances by Keanu Reeves...

    the story (part of "Burning Chrome", a collection of W.Gibson short stories) was much better and less schlocky than the movie.. Johnny Mnemonic was a good read along with the other stories in that collection, but it sucked at the box office.. it sucked out loud

  7. Re:>:( on Major Star Wars Character To Die in Next Books · · Score: 1

    NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo......

    :(

    of all the characters to get rid of....

    a moment of silence please.

  8. Re:Paint Chip? on Girl Geeks Launch Picosatellite · · Score: 1

    just a technicality i'm sure..

    but didn't Alan Shepard hit the golf ball
    off the surface of the moon..

    "Miles and miles..!!!"

    I saw Dressed to Kill on HBO like a dozen time
    and just laughed HARDER every time i
    saw it....


    I want to get that on video.. anyone know if
    it's available?

    -"Helga,Helga wake up!!"
    -"What is it Dr. Heimlich?"
    -"Helga, I'm your HUSBAND, stop being so
    bloody *Prussian*"
    -"Right, well what is it?"
    -"I.. have invented a maneuver.."
    -"What are you a bloody TANK COMMANDER now?"

    awesome.. (and I love the bit about star wars
    he does)
