    That's surprisingly uncommon among standardization organizations. I wish IETF could do the same for RFCs...

  2. Re:Nice work ... on SpaceX Cargo Capsule Reaches International Space Station · · Score: 1

    they're building about 400 per year.

    Citation needed.

  6. Re:Rosetta Stone on Gold Artifact To Orbit Earth In Hope of Alien Retrieval · · Score: 2

    the odds of some alien race being familiar with the concept of integers, is a lot higher than the odds that they'll understand english.

    Why would you say such a thing? In *every* science fiction movie I saw the spoke perfect English.

  7. He seems to like dirty stuff on The Worst Job At Google: a Year of Watching Terrible Things On the Internet · · Score: 1

    Quote from TFA: "After college, I went to work in politics;". Then he decided to change something in his life and went after dark corners of the Internet. Hmmmm. This guy is into weird stuff.

  8. Cost cutting on Just $10M Keeping "Red Neck Rocket Scientist" From Reaching Space · · Score: 1

    I'm sure 10M$ is enough and he is using proper technologies: http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/1994-01-24/

  9. Re:Wait, what? on Elon Musk Shows off the Dragon Capsule, Back From Space (Video) · · Score: 1

    No, you can't. Interorbital will gladly take your money, but they will not launch anything. The keep throwing new launch dates, but no actual hardware flying. See this thread for details: http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=18780.0

    You are new here, aren't you?

  11. Sold out on Customers Gleefully Mock Best Buy's $1,095.99 HDMI · · Score: 1

    It's too late. I wanted buy one, but it's sold out. Anyone wants to swap? I'm willing to offer in return two high-performance, no bit-loss guaranteed, 1 meter long USB2.0 cables, 500USD each. They are from the same high-end category: my HDD started to work faster when connected through those cables, my piece of crap webcam suddenly became streaming full HD. It's really a life changer!

  12. Re:and what about xerox's stuff? on Jobs Wanted To Destroy Android · · Score: 2

    Honestly, you think tapping an icon is revolutionary?

    I'm afraid they already do.

  15. Re:Yes, but... on Building a Homemade Nuclear Reactor In NYC · · Score: 1

    Let's hope it runs Linux already. You don't want to see BSOD on that one. On the other hand, it won't be blue, take much more than the whole screen and there will be nobody around to complain.

  16. Re:Siemens, not Seimens... on China Debuts the World's Fastest Train · · Score: 4, Funny

    Siemens, not Seimens...

    It's Seimens alright. The cheap China fake one.

  19. Fake! on 2 Companies Win NASA's Moon-Landing Prize Money · · Score: 1

    This will make faking lunar landings soooo much easier! Hmmm.... unless this competition was faked, too! Quick, where's my tinfoil hat?

  20. Ostriches on Pigeon Turns Out To Be Faster Than S. African Net · · Score: 1

    That's nice, but ostriches are far better for that purpose. They are robust, immune to falcon-in-the-middle attacks, does not generate ocassional unexpected drops and can carry much heavier traffic. The only downside is that they require bridges between separated domains.

  21. FPS and space shooters on Playing a First-Person Shooter Using Real Guns · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ssshhhh, any FPS player knows that bullets travel in infinite straight line at the speed of light.

    Unless you use lasers in space shooters. Contrary to a popular disinformation spread frivolously by those lousy physicists, lasers are actually very slow. With a proper engine upgrades, you can outmanuver them easily.

  22. Updated hardware? on Original Cast On Board For Ghostbusters 3 · · Score: 1

    I wonder what kind of car will they be riding now?

    Wikipedia supports terrorists,too? Damn.

  25. Cool! on Gravitational Waves May Have Been Detected In 1987 · · Score: 0

    That's great and all. Can I have my FTL drive now, please?
