  1. Re:unless on X-43A Mach 10 Mission Scrubbed For Today · · Score: 1

    Is it entirely autonomous or is it remotely controlled but piloted? There is a difference.

    and no, I'm not going to read the article.

  2. Re:what the hell has /. become on DIY LED-Illuminated Sleep Chamber · · Score: 1

    Somehow I still can't help but mention that there is a town called Greenwich in Connecticut. Damn I feel so ashamed for being that guy.

    Then feel shame no more. I shall take up the burden and proudly proclaim:
    "There is a town called Greenwich within the state of Connecticut!"

    Does that make you feel better?

    the F stands for FC as in Flip Chip or Flip Chip Pin Grid Array.

    Welcome to Slashfox.org

    When did /. become a furry porn/slash site? And why did I never notice the transition?

    My only problem with cygwin is: after about a week of searching google and testing stuff on my own, I finally get enlightenment to compile and install, and it crashes as soon as it's done loading. If we had a working enlightenment install for cygwin, I'd be happy (as happy as I can be on a winXP machine anyway.).

    You can pry my Amiga from my cold, dead hands after you break every cold, dead finger and use a cutting torch.

    not that I'm posessive or anything like that.

    Except "compact disc" doesn't have the "ce" combination, which does change the pronunciation.

  10. Re:The real reason it's not a threat on Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE · · Score: 1

    Actually, juggling C4 would be relatively safe as long as you avoided ignition sources (flames, sparks, other explosions).

    So yes, running iexplore.exe is like juggling C-4: Perfectly safe as long as you take some basic precautions. However, how many users do you know who you can honestly say take basic precautions with their computers?

    You may run XP, not be using an admin account, run automatic updates, and run good antivirus and anti-spyware software, but how many people run XP in admin mode with no updates no antivirus no anti-spyware and assume everything will be fine? Those users are the reason for elitist cracks about IE, XP, and Microsoft in general.

  11. Re:So would this help? on Combined Gasoline/Hydrogen Fuel Station Opens · · Score: 1

    A better idea than vacuum would be to put the hydrogen containment vessels inside another containment vessen and pump the gap between them with a non-reactive gas (helium for example). This way you can maintain the support of atmospheric pressure, and still have a margin of safety if the inner tank starts to leak.

    Or just design the tanks so they could not possibly leak, ever. (not that I thik this would really work)

  12. Re:Editors please make up your mind! on Pioneer Ultraviolet Laser Promises 500GB Discs · · Score: 1

    how would you pronounce discette? the 'ce' isn't phonetically equivalent to 'ke' so it seems we would have to pronounce it "dis-set". Personally, that sounds too strange to be a storage medium

    I agree, which is why I didn't call the mod crazy for labelling it Troll.

    Let me get this striaght, you're female, you game, you post on slashdot, and you don't get modded up? Did we undergo some sort of cultural revolution while I was actually working?

    I'm not sure I understand the concept of upgrading your wife. I can understand upgrading to a new one, but then what do you do with the old one? Make it into a server?

    'amusing', 'dumb'. On slashdot it's all the same thing really. (I had 'AC' in there too, but that would have been an unfair comment to make.)

  19. Re:Hit and miss on The Future of Star Wars Gaming · · Score: 1

    I was playing off the comment that the "Empire" was the good guys. The edit would have to involve the rebels losing. Maybe if we make the stormtroopers our army and declare that they can actually hit their targets...

    Don't worry though, apparently atleast one moderator thought the same thing you did.

    That gives me an idea for an amusing Star Wars edit... Replace Palpatine with Dick Ch and replace Vader with G.W. Bush. Make Leia into Bin Laden, and Luke into Saddam. and Chewy and Han could be replaced with Kerry and Edwards.

    I wonder why the rover doesnt have a self-cleaning system?

    It's a rover, not an oven. Obviously the engineers realized this and skipped the self-clean mode. :]
