  1. Quote from article: on The Reactionless Space Drive? · · Score: 1
    "If you thought warp drive was weird, try jolt propulsion"

    I dont know about any of you, but I already use jolt propulsion. All that caffiene makes me run between my computer chair and the dunny during an all night coding session...

  2. Re:perhaps this is confirmation... on Users Hack Aqua to Make It More Usable · · Score: 1

    Drive light's on, but nobody's home?

  3. Re:Fuzzy Math on Another New (Minor) Planet In Solar System · · Score: 1

    And what about those 2 numbers, pi and e? If we were elected we would have set pi=3 and e=2, and put two of the biggest freaks of numerical nature in line with the rest of the number line!

  4. Re:Ms. Pac-Man at the Porno Shop on Build Your own Ms. Pac-Man machine from Scratch · · Score: 2

  8. Re:Heh, scoreboard on Collecting Logs from Firewalls to Detect Crackers · · Score: 3
    It might keep them out of our hair, though. Maybe they'd be too busy attacking each other to worry about the big sites...

    I just had a thought (Yea, I know, first time for everything). Would these very same script kiddies on cablemodems be called @homeboys?

  9. Re:patients on Golden Rice · · Score: 2

    This is the same kind of thing that's keeping AIDS drugs hideously expensive and out of the hands of alot of the people that REALLY need it. I think what is needed is a global fund that would buy patents/whatever from the companies that own them, for things that are a benefit to all mankind.

  10. Sounds like a comic book. on Reasoning Behind The KDE League · · Score: 3

    The KDE League, from their secret base in the dormant volcano, uses all the technology at their disposal to defeat the minions of GNOME....

    Dunno. Ask the hundreds of users on Napster that cancel your downloads, and message "Stop downloading from me!"

    Yea, it knows it when it sees it...

  14. I still think... on Nattering Nabobs Of NASA Negativity · · Score: 2
    ...its neat that the first crew, all guys, are called the Alpha Males.

    ...chuckle...

  15. Thank God! on European Software Patent Horror Gallery · · Score: 5

    Thank God I live in the good old US of A, where we dont have this kind of problem with the patent office....uh...wait, nevermind...

  16. Re:Interesting.. on Playstation 2 Basic? · · Score: 2

    as long as I dont boot up and see "BASIC IN ROM. 38911 BYTES FREE" on a cyan screen...

  17. Re:heh on Playstation 2 Basic? · · Score: 1

    Way back in college, in our languages design class, we wrote a tiny pascal compiler, in pascal...was actually a good way to examine what you were trying to do.

    Heck, put a few Quickcam's on this thing. That'd be some neat streaming video....

    This thing could be dangerous! In some of the battles we've had at work would have given me whiplash for #(*$ sake!

  22. Re:Legal Obligations on Time's Up For Virgin Connect Webplayer · · Score: 1

    2 things wrong with this. 1) The CC that I signed up with is no longer active, and 2) this faq says I can keep it. WOOHOO!

    The email doesnt say anything along the lines of "send it back or else", just that they're going to send mail in the next 7-10 days with instructions... Whups! Seemed to have moved since then, with no forwarding address...

  24. Re:software stormtroopers on Can the BSA Investigate Your office for Piracy? · · Score: 2

    Just hope they dont fight back with a copy of the old OLE 1.0 spec. Holy Toledo, a foot and a half of paper!

  25. Er.... on The LEP Collider Will Be Closed Down · · Score: 3
    The collider has been used to confirm the existence of the Higgs particle unsuccessfully.

    Er, what does this mean? They confirmed it, or didnt they? What is the Higgs boson anyway, beyond the sketchy clues the article gives? Pointers from the physicists out there?
