  1. PJ and the LotR on Peter Jackson Will Not Be Making The Hobbit · · Score: 0, Troll

    I could really care less. I have never liked PJ as a filmmaker or as a person. He is George Lucas on steroids. The last movie that supposedly was worth a Best Picture Oscar was nothing more than just a lot of quick cuts between massive CGI battle/crowd scenes.

  2. Re:Cashing In on WoW Burning Crusade Delayed until January 2007 · · Score: 1

    I would recommend Elendor. It's free of charge and if you already own LotR, that's all the source material you'll ever need.

    Of course, text games are old hat and actual roleplaying is so passe, but you just might enjoy working those creative synapses.

  3. Re:Firefox not vulnerable because VML not supporte on Microsoft Patches VML Vulnerability · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of course it didn't work in Firefox. MS is not interested in creating webpages that will work in other people's browsers.

  4. Re:Mars, here we come on First Zero-Gravity Surgery a Success · · Score: 1

    I agree, that is definitely an issue. The ISS needs to be completed and some actual scientists sent up to study this very issue. The sooner the shuttle program gets on with the construction, the sooner we'll have actual data on such things.

    Of course, it remains to be seen if NASA or any of the other space agencies will want to pay for serious medical research in LEO.

  5. Re:I dont get it... on First Zero-Gravity Surgery a Success · · Score: 1

    Whatever the stated point is, it still forms yet another data set that NASA or whomever will look at with interest.

    At this point, it's not like the ISS is equipped to deal with science. As everyone who watches the program knows, the crew up there is there to babysit and look good for the manned spaceflight program.

    Be on the lookout for more like this.

  6. Mars, here we come on First Zero-Gravity Surgery a Success · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There aren't too many ways to hurt yourself in a small capsule. Of course, if there is anything serious, odds are you're already dead from vacuum or cold. This is a milestone towards proving that a trip to Mars can be feasible and that things that crop up along the way that are not serious in and of themselves can be dealt with on the voyage by a flight surgeon or a medic.

  7. Re: The weather on Why Aren't Powergrids Underground? · · Score: 1
    With storms getting worse and worse (Maryland, DC and Northern Virginia have weathered torrential downfalls this week), might underground lines prove more resistant to storm-related power outages?


    What kind of unfounded, subjective environmental doomsaying is that statement supposed to be?
