    might say the same for military bases, its just a school for bigger kids

  2. piston cooling on Australian Team Working On Engines Without Piston Rings · · Score: 1

    how do keep the piston cool? seems like spraying oil would get into the grooves and stop the air waves from being formed.

  3. If movies have taught us anything... on Rice Professor Predicts Humans Out of Work In 30 Years · · Score: 1

    In the future there'll be a high demand for robot hunters and mercenaries to combat skynet.

  5. Re:Farenheight 451 on Library.nu and Ifile.it Shut Down · · Score: 1

    I guess instead of going on a tinfoil hat rant you could just bust the drm on any books you buy and burn them to a cd. problem solved.

    Its not the EM radiation, its the shit load of particles hitting the earths magnetic field that comes later.

    If this could work over a wireless lan to a beefy desktop computer it might be feasible.

  10. Re:No thanks on Former Intel CEO Andy Grove Wants Struggling Industries To Stop Slacking · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If only there were as many protests to stop mountain top removal as there are to stop from putting up wind farms. Plus all the slack coal gets over their slag and ash dumps and all the mercury they're putting into the fish.

  11. Re:Inflection? on AMD Phenom II Available To Distributors This Week · · Score: 2, Funny

    I feel like I've stepped into an XKCD comic.

  12. NASA unable to reduce launch costs... on NASA Still Wants Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    "Despite decades of putting rockets into space, the agency has never managed to make any real reductions in launch costs in that time." Thats no surprise. Between politics and seemingly locked in with 2 aerospace companies they've never attempted to economize. And now we see the Orion coming to replace the shuttle. Apollo on steroids. Yeah, thats the ticket.

  18. Re:Gallium on Liquid Metal Cooling in New ATI Video Card · · Score: 1

    Make sure you dont confuse thermal capacity with conductivity. Thats why water coolers work so well, water can contain a large amount of heat and move it away from the cpu.

    ummm...its called spiral.

  20. cpu fan speed control on 5 Simple Steps to a Quieter PC · · Score: 2, Informative

  21. Its stupid but.. on Re-Pet a Reality · · Score: 1

    you could just consider it private investment in developing low cost and more effective cloning technologies. One day I'll have a choice of putting my brain in a robot, a virtual reality or a clone of my original body.
