    How can you tell they're goth if they're naked?

  6. Re:moderating on Porsche Designs a Laptop · · Score: 2
  7. Re:Interesting patent history on England Salutes 150 Years of Eccentric Patents · · Score: 2

    Indeed. Moderators should look at PhysicsGenius's other posts. Merely sounding convincing should not be a +1, people.

  8. Re:Plan ahead. on NASA Has Plans for 2nd Space Station at L1 · · Score: 3, Funny

    No no, not cannabalism [sic], but half-lives. We know that the half-life of an astronaut is equal to the round trip of a mars expedition. It's something that NASA has been hiding for years, also known as the Terrible Secret of Space.

  9. Re:Beam me up on A (Correct) Poincare Proof!? · · Score: 1

    Do they really? Tivo eats my commercials so I don't see them anymore.

    That's a good little Tivo.

  10. Re:PostModernism works? on Postmodern Computer Science · · Score: 2

    >> This is the way PostModernism works
    > Maybe you meant to say "this is why PostModernism doesn't work."

    Inasmuch as there is an answer, it is both. (This is the standard postmodern answer to any question. 'Tsall good) [Noble/Biddle, 2002].

    If you didn't read the article, that's a quote from it. Note my clever use of postmodernism. Ha ha!

  11. Re:3Com's NBX System is a BSD Variant on Is Linux Used in Production Telephony? · · Score: 2

    Hi. I helped write the software for the NBX 100 system. The server runs vxWorks and the devices run without an OS. I'm sure you could get Linux running on it if you wanted - it's just x86.

    Disclaimer: I didn't speak for 3Com even when I worked for them, and I sure don't now.

  12. Re:Let's go back in time to the 1980's.... on Floor Vacuum Robot for $200 · · Score: 2

    Wait no longer, your solar robot lawnmower is here! And it seems to function very much like the Roomba.

    I want one of each!

  13. Re:This is very premature technology on Your Genome Scanned While You Wait · · Score: 1

    whether we should even try to learn it is another debate, you need only look at how Western Society has been damaged by the results of invetigating the poor fertility of yam-eating Mexican Indians

    What are you referring to?

  14. Re:This has never happened before? on Sklyarov Denied Visa to Return to U.S. for Trial · · Score: 1

  17. Re:Cool demos I've seen. on Surprising Science Demonstrations? · · Score: 1

    Great post! I went to school with the guy who swallowed Liquid Nitrogen. Don't do it!

    Removing a balloon "cateract"

    Why does this one work? The laser has to go through the outer balloon as well as the inner. Why don't they both pop?

  18. Re:From the Belly Button Lint results... on Ig Nobels Awarded · · Score: 2

    In general, women have pubic hair that looks like an inverted pyramid, or a map of Tasmania, with a sharp cut-off at the top.

    It sounds like the two-dimensional projection of what is known as a "frustrum", a word which can also describe my experience in getting there.

  19. Re:Setting the Agenda on Ultrasecure Quantum Communications Over Thin Air · · Score: 1

    Hello. I don't understand your post very well, likely because you have a .uk on your address and I do not. Could you explain what A5 and GAOL are?

    Thanks.

  20. More about Simon on EBay Subject of Patent Action · · Score: 5, Informative

    Bill Simon is running for Governor of California and created this clever parody site about his opponent, incumbent Gray Davis. Ebay is not too pleased.

    keptibora-berry extract to remedy Gilligan's double vision

    After Gilligan foiled every clever escape plan he made, he should have had the foresight to secretly create a poison instead. Six getting off the island is better than none.

  22. Re:A double pointer? on That Link Is Illegal · · Score: 1

    Or a link to a google search for the terrorist website. Would the school really try to prosecute them for linking to google?

  23. Typo in article on Kazaa Continues to Evolve · · Score: 2

    ... Kazaa will carry ads for Tiscali's broadband services in return for a cash 'bounty' ...

    Kazaa users are often called pirates, right? In that case, I think they mean booty.

    Arr!

  24. Re:I strongly recommend the Civic Hybrid on Gas/Electric Hybrids, Air Cars in the News · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've added a Sirius Satellite radio, so now I can drive coast to coast on five tanks of gas while listening to the same radio station
