    Hear them hum!

    Oh, our job is never done,

    While you ride;
    While you glide;
    We are watching 'down inside',
    So your roadways keep rolling along!

    "Oh, it's Hie! Hie! Hee!
    The rotor men are we-
    Check off the sectors loud and strong!

    the voyager probes use a radioisotope thermoelectric generator so that wouldn't work anyway

  7. Really? on NASA Finds Cause of Voyager 2 Glitch · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The cause of the error is yet to be understood

    Let me guess: cosmic ray. Is it really that hard? What else causes a single bit-flip error in space?

  8. Oh no on Bungie Signs 10-Year Deal With Activision · · Score: 1

    Is Activision going to feed off Bungie's core until it, too implodes?

  9. Re:Shame on Slashdot on All of Gopherspace Available For Download · · Score: 1

    The Internet is a gigantic computer network. E-mail, Gopher, newsgroups, DNS, remote desktop, multiplayer games, and the Web are some applications that use the Internet. The world wide web is all the websites accessible by using an Internet browser. Some of those (Gmail, etc.) provide web-based interfaces to other Internet services.

  18. Korsakovia on Imagination In Games · · Score: 1

    I played through Korsakovia a few days ago, and it was without doubt the scariest/creepiest game I have ever played. The thing was, it wasn't scary in a visceral way (enemy jumps out from behind corner) most of the time; it was scary in an intellectual way (Christopher's mind is falling apart and he is losing contact with the doctor). I recommend playing it.

  19. Re:Waiste Money on what has allready been done on US Sets Up Emergency Multi-Band Radio Project · · Score: 1

    The low limit of ham radio operation is the 1750-meter band, which goes from 160 to 190 khz, and the high limit is the 1-mm band, from 21 to 250 gigahertz. Then we are able to operate at any frequency we want as long as it's above 275 ghz. We're all over the lace.

  23. Re:google squared on Google Unveils Search Options and Google Squared · · Score: 1

    I counter your googlplex with Graham's number!

  24. Re:At least it's not the HF bands... on Google Urges National Inventory of Radio Spectrum · · Score: 1

    Actually, the number of hams has gone up lately, not down, contrary to the thinking of most people. In the past, lots of "unusable" spectrum was given to hams, who found ways to use it.

    True! "Those amateurs are clogging up the medium-wave band. Let's make them use short-wave, so they can't talk over long distances and we can use a useful band for useful things!" Then some ham realized that shortwave bounces and they took most of it back. :P

  25. Re:At least it's not the HF bands... on Google Urges National Inventory of Radio Spectrum · · Score: 1

    Access to a telephone system nearly anywhere, including places where there's no cell phone reception, for one.
