  1. Re:I'm always looking... on GPL 3 Forking Risks Discussed · · Score: 1

    Looking for forking action on slashdot... Reminds me of the beach scene on Eurotrip.

    You only end up with naked over weight drunks chasing after teenage /. poongtang.;)(I think I spelled that right)

    And if your wondering if I'm talking about the beach or slashdot than I'm talking about both. Well, except for the /. part.

  2. Sign me Up! on Canada Says No To DMCA · · Score: 1

    When I have the money I plan on moving to Canada.

    Can I just have money for the fees (for permanent residence for example) or do I also have to have a valid reason to give the immigration people to have permission to move in? Or will just money get me in the door?

    When I do, it'll be in the Toronto area. Any suggestion on banks there that wont charge me to hold my money for a simple checking account?

    Right now I live in Texas and have an account with USAA which offers free checking with no fees. I'd like to get something like that in Canada.

  3. Jupiter, our second star? on Star Smaller Than Some Planets Found · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This post goes to all you scientist out there. First question, what's to keep Jupiter from being a star it self?

    And second, (this is a serious question so please don't mod me) but what would happen if some one blew up a nuclear bomb in Jupiter's atmosphere? Would it turn into a star or would it just burn out? And how would doing so affect Earth?

    I would think if Jupiter where to turn into a star that it's gravity would increase and effect the entire solar system on a gravitational level.

    What would happen to it's moons? Would the increase gravity suck the moons into the planet or would they stay in there old orbit? And what about Titan, the extra heat from the new lit star would heat up the moon and turn all those liquids into gases.

    This would be an interesting scientific experiment to try. I just want to know what would be the potential risk for us.
