  1. Particle accelerator you say? on Interstellar Hydrogen Prevents Light-Speed Travel? · · Score: 1

    If thats the case, I would'nt mind traveling at light-speed as long I'm provided with a pair of rubber bands and a liquid lunch on the trip. Where do I sign on?

  2. Re:Jet Fighter III on Strange Glitches In Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Worked also on F/A-18 Interceptor on Amiga. Also you could fly indefinitely after shutting down engines. Just build up speed by nosediving and you can glide back up higher than your original altitude.

    Here you go: http://magnatune.com/ , too bad it has limited catalog.

    Now go FLAC yourself.

  9. Re:Thus pacifist aliens on Does Active SETI Put Earth in Danger? · · Score: 5, Funny

    What I'm basically saying, is that "peace" is a prerequisite for achieving "space age"

    No, that would be "rocketry" followed by building the "Apollo Programme".
  10. Re:Whew! That was close... on New Wheel of Time Author Chosen · · Score: 1

    I heard an ancient prophecy that said that when the Wheel of Time of was ended, so too was Time.
    That's somewhat in error. That happens when Duke Nukem: Forever is released...
    The final volume of Wheel Of Time will include a free copy of Duke Nukem: Forever.
  11. Re:Sorry... on FEMA Sorry for Faking News Briefing · · Score: 1

    It's kinda sad, but unless your next government truly cleans up, you need a revolution, I'm scared and sad to say that less won't do.

    Sorry, that wont happen anytime soon. The current generations cant get that much steam to muster up a revolution. They might not be happy about the situtation but are content enough with their lives.

    what do you want 4GB of ram for anyway?

    Thats right, because 640K is good for everyone!

    On a serious note, maybe he/she is a 3D artist? CAD? Graphics? Videos? There is never too much memory to throw around.

    They sure were fast on that one!

  16. Re:Bozos will blow up this planet one day on New Form of Matter Melds Lasers, Superconductors · · Score: 1

    You are 100% sure about that? Willing to take the risk? It's a frigging black hole we are talking about, so nobody knows what would really happen if one got created. Then nobody really knows if there actually exists such things as black holes. Its all speculation at the moment.

    Again, if it evaporates through Hawking Radiation unexpectedly slowly, so it can catch extra mass from anything, then we are screwd.

    IANAS so corrections to my fears are welcome.

  22. Re:Not so sure on Genndy Tartakovsky to Direct Dark Crystal Sequel · · Score: 1

    Yeah....I'm not so sure this is a good idea. I have fond memories of that movie and I don't want to see them going up in flames.

    I fear that for us, this movie will be a mockery.

    How would a sequel affect your perception of the first movie? Thats something I cant grasp when everyone is bitching about the new Star Wars, Matrix sequels or what ever. I've seen the SW sequels which didnt live to the expectations, still the originals are the same kick-ass as ever. Nothing changed. Same with Matrix, first one still the same even when the sequels are lame.

    Dark Crystal is one of the best childhood memories I have and I doubt watching this sequel will ruin it in any way, even if it sucks big time.

    But thats just me.

    They fear that people would relate it to Windows then.

    Oh please. You are a moron. We were at WAR

    Al-Quaeda and the lot seem to think they are in war, are they not? So if they are in war against the USA and, well, rest of the western civilization, it would by your definition be ok if they used WMD against their enemy at war?

    War is allways a fscking mess I say.

  25. Re:NASA World Wind on NASA BlueMarble: Next Generation · · Score: 1

    Too bad World Wind is Windows only at the moment. WW2D should run on most Java capable systems, but it doesnt have the same coolnes factor.
