  1. Re:A rocket scientist asks... on N-Prize Founder Paul Dear Talks Prizes For Nanosat Race · · Score: 2, Interesting

    But most things that involve BOTH propellant and the word "Cool" violate the National Association of Rocketry Safety Code. Let alone the Patriot Act! That only adds to the coolness.

  8. Concrete on Just How Effective is System Hardening? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I found encasing the system in steel reinforced concrete made the system much harder. Similar attempts to place end users in the same situation were not as successful.

    No one on /. is going to be playing that one without cheat codes.

    What compression setup are you using that you can fit all that in one bit? And was the bit a 1 or a 0?

  13. Undermining our way of life... on ISO Miscounted Cuban OOXML Vote · · Score: 5, Funny

    These Cuban scum! They are trying to ruin our American way of life with their instance on "open standards." Their dangerous ideas of "freedom" and "choice" are directly opposed to our system of allowing us to choose whatever option we are told to choose. Damn Commies! If we don't stop them now, they will want to monitor our machine controlled elections! We have to stop these anti-Americans now, while we still have the chance!

    As a Hunter student I am outraged that I was not monetarily compensated with part of this graft.

  17. Re:I own two of these... on Comparing the OLPC, Classmate and Eee · · Score: 3, Informative

    Easy Mode is the big problem with the Eee. I ripped the original OS out of there out of immediately and switched over to Ubuntu and later to eeeXubunto and have never looked back. As to the screen on the Eee. It's small. I wish it was a bit bigger but at the price the Eee is available at I'm more then happy to put up with it.... At least until there is a cheaper one with a bigger screen.

  18. Re:Frustrating on Open US GPS Data? · · Score: 1

    It's quite possible that the street is in fact authorized to be built, but never has. If thats true then your local government authority may have that road shown as being built on it's own maps (The thinking is that if the road could be built then it is built. It's odd yes, but all municipalities that I've worked with take this route and I've only heard of a dew exceptions. There is some legal reason for it but I won't pretend to understand it enough to be able to explain it. Since many GIS outfits depend on municipal datasets these errors creep in.

    Is it True?
    All Night Long I was worried about this. Is my privacy Already Gone? It made me feel like a Certain Kind of Fool to think that I had put my personal data on a site that would Take It To The Limit in terms of giving away info about me. The Outlaw Man that runs Facebook has erased my Peaceful Easy Feeling. In The Long Run, After the Thrill is Gone, Facebook will learn. Untill then, I won't Get Over It and I Can't Tell You Why.
