  1. Extensions? on Exploring Firefox Extensions · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I don't need an extension of any kind you insensitive clod!

  3. Well on Neither Rain, Nor Snow, Nor Dark of Night... · · Score: 0

    You could always email it to your 1Gb google mail account. Or here http://www.iomega.com/istorage/ or here http://www.xdrive.com/ Sure there are some free versions available too, try here http://www.google.com/. Or sign up for a free trial, and hope it's all over in a couple of weeks ;)

  4. Re:Area to cover on Broadband Envy: Fixing American Broadband · · Score: 0

    And australia, 2.97 million square miles. I can only get 1meg here... but then I _am_ 1600 clicks from the nearest capital city. Fibre should be run out to every suburb now as a matter of urgency. If the companies pony up now for decent infrastructure, this would carry TV, Radio, phone, VOIP, and data over a single link. Would solve the problem for at least another 150 years? Mind you, was 640k memory enough?

  5. wait a minute on SETI Finds Interesting Signal · · Score: 0

    Didn't we attach a plaque depicting naked humans? Isn't this _Our_ first interstellar prOn? Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing some signals from other planets, shows like RALF (Retarded alien life form, the must see show, with those strange pink squishy hyoomanns) and Dr.What, the time travelling doctor in his retardis. Seriously though, wouldn't it be interesting to see an alien cultures spin on entertainment? Do they have DRM? Will we be able to crack it?

  6. Re:Liability on Searching For Trouble With Google · · Score: 0

    No, but if you see him accidentally in the mirror in your bedroom...

  7. you _can_ tell the cops to get bent. on Busted For Using Library Wi-Fi Outside The Library · · Score: 1, Informative

    here is the link to the nantucket police department. http://www.nantucket-ma.gov/departments/police.htm l Now you, yes you, can ring the Nantucket PD and spew your very own, real life, Wi-Fi related verbal flamebait at a policeman close to you. He'll be even closer once they trace your call, and bust _your_ ass for hacking into their phones by dialling them. Don't miss out on this exciting new opportunity!

  8. Personal audio on Busted For Using Library Wi-Fi Outside The Library · · Score: 0

    IMHO, how the hell can it be possible to even be stopped for recieving radio signals? If I listen to my personal radio, is this illegal? What if I'm afflicted by this http://www.answers.google.com/answers/threadview?i d=367925 and end up recieving gibberish network traffick or radio signals?

  9. Re:Electric properties? on World's First Practical Plastic Magnet · · Score: 0

    If conductivity is a problem, just coat it with a thin layer of standard platstic, PTFE, whatever.

  10. Re:Could this lead on World's First Practical Plastic Magnet · · Score: 0

    Not just electric motors. If the plastic is made in compund with something like PTFE, you could have super light, very low friction motors. Theoretically, you could add many, many different compounds to the plastics in production... Colours, properties, etc etc Maybe magnoplastic coatings will be used all over the place... Magnoplasty, there ya go, a new word.

  11. What's old fashioned on The Last Atlas 2 Rocket Launch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The rocket was the last to launch the old-fashioned way. What, with boosters, and rockets and things? What's the new fashioned way? There is nothing ol fashioned about this rockets integral functions, just the location of the operators.

  12. Re:I come from a planet called Mockmoon... on The Last Atlas 2 Rocket Launch · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ecstacy, cooooool, is there crack and pot too?

  13. well on The Last Atlas 2 Rocket Launch · · Score: 1

    I don't know about launching rockets, but I know a lot of people that lay cables in concete bunkers adjacent to their house

  14. Re:Scotty on "Scotty" Gets Walk of Fame Star · · Score: 1

    I'm sure he really wants that on his tombstone. How many times you think he's heard it? I worked as a barman, and it got to the stage where the next person who yelled "taxi!" when a glass was dropped, I was gonna give them a tombstone of their own. He's had "beam me up" for nigh on 40 years. I'm sure he's sicker of that than his myriad of illnesses.
