  1. in Russia on Realtime ASCII Goggles · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but; In Russia ... you has the Matrix.

  2. Typical Science Thinking. on Athens Breeding "Super Mosquitoes" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Athenian Scientists get so focused on creating "Super Mosquitoes", that they never stop and ask themselves "should we do this". We can only hope Spartan Scientists don't escalate the situation by bio-engineering "MegaFrogs".

  3. A Sandcrawler? on Japan's New Supercomputing Toy · · Score: 1

    It looks like it's full of Jawas.

  4. Death by lightning bolts. on Massive Lightning Storm on Saturn · · Score: 3, Funny

    lightning bolts more than one thousand times stronger than those found on Earth. So if you got hit by one, it would kill you like ... a thousand times worse. NASA better do something about this!

  5. Lynda video tutorials on Webpage Building Guides for the Uninitiated? · · Score: 1

    I was in the exact same situation as you, smilingbandit2.
    I found the XHTML tutorials sold by lynda.com very helpful. Pausing the video on my PC, to test things out in an editor (I use vim), is an excellent learning method.
    The XHTML course only covers CSS lightly, so I also recommend this video, which is very thorough. CSS makes it easy to change the entire look of your site in just a few lines of code. So it's a very powerful tool in combinations with either HTML or XHTML.
    If you're comfortable in a Unix environment, You might want to get an account at freeshell.org. It only costs a buck (to validate yourself) and the basic user account comes with 20Megs of space. Which you can keep for life, I believe.

  9. I don't get it. on One Find, Two Astronomers · · Score: 1

    ...who both claim to have discovered the same object beyond Pluto, and almost the same size.

    Except for it being another coincidence. What does the fact that these two guys share the same height, width and depth have to do with this discovery?

  10. My suggestion.. on Smartphone Suggestions for Text SSH Use? · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you want quick access without using ssh, just run your company's email server off the Nokia 9500. It looks big enough!

  11. For those not in the know... on IGN Purchased By News Corp. · · Score: 5, Funny

    For those not in the know, sites under the IGN network include IGN.com, GameSpy, GameSpy Arena...

    Any message we send into space should have the return address set to: earthlings(at)planet-earthNOSPAMPLEASE.net

  20. Land surface only... on The Sharpest Ever Global Earth Map · · Score: 1

    What about mapping the sea surface? This just adds more fuel to the argument that Europeans are biased in favor of land.

  21. Sound projection device. on Flying Cars Ready To Take Off · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Woody Norris' company invented a device to aim sound, something like a laser does light. There was a good article in the NY Times about it a couple years back. This Popular Science article appears to cover it as well. http://www.popsci.com/popsci/bown/article/0,16106, 388134,00.html

  24. Innocent until proven guilty? on Museum Director Indicted for Stealing NASA Artifacts · · Score: 4, Insightful

    An indictment not being a conviction, most news organizations would try and work the word "allegedly" into such a report as this one. But It seems /. is exempt from that kind of responsibility. eh ... Fuck it ... let's hang him!
