  1. Re:Why? on 5 Years of Habitation on the ISS · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Well if you end up in the vacuum of space, you still die of suffocation. Therefore it is about the same length of suffering anyway.

    And what is wrong with sharks? I will take a quick shark-bites-head-off death over drowning any day!

  2. Re:Sung to the tune of "We Didn't Start the Fire" on Videogames: In the Beginning · · Score: 1

    Nice list of great games.

    It is a shame that a few are forgoten:

    Planescape Torment
    Freespace 1 and 2
    Grim Fandago
    Total Annihilation
    System Shock 1 and 2
    Homeworld
    Diablo
    Daggerfall and Morrowind

    And I am sure there is many more...

  3. Main MUST return an integer! on IBM Gives SCO the Works · · Score: 1

    /*In the proper unix world it would read;*/

    #include

    int main()
    {
    printf("\nWe suck");
    return 0;
    }

    That depends...

    Does that "woman" you speak of runs Linux?

  5. Re:Toner Research on Lunar Dust: A Major Worry for Moon Visitors · · Score: 1

    I can see it now...

    Astronaut 0: "Hey, where can I stick this suit, so that it will dry?"

    Astronaut 1:"Stick it outside, the vacuum will dry it!"

    -------- Time Passes --------

    Astronaut 0: "Oh crap! The suit is is covered in dust *again*! Better wash it..."

  6. Re:MOD PARENT UP!! :) on Yankee Group Survey Says Windows, Linux TCO Equal · · Score: 1

    What is the amazing system design element of Linux that yields such remarkable security?

    How about the fact that only the root user is capable to make changes to the core system files?

    Sure, Windows also have its Administrator Mode and you can make users accounts, but it is NOT enabled by default AND it is optional. In a matter of fact, almost all home computers run in the administrator mode all the time.

    This non-enforcement of the administratior policy is IMHO one of the greatest design flaws that plagues Windows.

  7. Re:more mature? on Star Wars Episode 3 PG-13? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps there will be a scene where Jar Jar is *brutally* executed with a lightsaber and the leftovers are thrown into the lava pit?

    If that will be featured, I will actualy watch that movie!

  8. Re:Always focusing on one... on Spirit Rover is One Year Old · · Score: 1

    Isn't January 24 is also when we would receive the results from the Titan lander? I hope we wouldn't forget Opportunity in all the excitement...

  9. Re:Great! Keep the Spacemen at Home on Spirit Rover is One Year Old · · Score: 1

    I believe that the answer you seek, had been given to you in the post by dustinbarbour, to which you had just replied.

  10. Re:Great! Keep the Spacemen at Home on Spirit Rover is One Year Old · · Score: 1

    If there is only one male involved, wouldn't it result in an inferior gene pool? All it would take is one disease, towards which you are not adapted to, to wipe out all your re-population effort. Besides how does one slashdoter, who probably doesn't have any prior experience in dealing with the members of the opposite sex, would manage to satisfy 20 women?!

  11. Re:What a waste of money on NASA Prepares to Launch Comet-Buster · · Score: 1

    why waste money to see the content of a comet? Well, we need to get those giant ice cubes to battle global warming from somewhere!
