    Yes, it will last 3 hours. The end result will be Mars II.

  9. Experts on What Would You Do As President? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I would get the EXPERTS on topics (Economy, Warfare, Science...) to tell me what the best course of action is (multiple, independent experts for sample size (exact size from stats experts)) and then act along those lines.

  10. Re:Is there really much Slashdot/Facebook overlap? on Facebook Retreats on Online Tracking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't know about anyone else, but I leave a sparse (read as minimal info) Facebook page up simply to act as another way a person can get in touch with me (I have it set to e-mail me if I get a message).

  12. Re:"Think about it" on US Wants Courts to OK Warrantless Email Snooping · · Score: 1

    You keep using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means.

  13. Rendering Power on Excuse Me, Your Cut Scene is In My Game · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Cut scenes were originally used to fowward the plot in games because the computational power to render those scenes was not available in a real-time system. They were run in batches and the resulting movie was tied to a trigger in-game. It stands to reason that as computers became more powerful, the reliance on pre-rendered cut-scenes would diminish. For evidence, look at HL2: almost no cut-scenes at all.

  14. Why? on Self-Sufficient Lunar Habitat Designed · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Why would a person want to live on the moon? This is not meant as a troll, but the only reason a person would on the moon voluntarily (penal colony perhaps...) I can think of is to do research.

  19. Re:But... on AMD-ATI Ships Radeon 2900 XT With 1GB Memory · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why would I want a card whose only purpose in life is make lots of calculations quickly and accurately run MS Office Excel 2007?

  20. Re:You know what? on Carmack's Armadillo Aerospace Rocket Crashes and Burns · · Score: 4, Funny

    but one thing they tend to guarantee is that only the fittest designs survive.

  21. Re:yea right on US School Curriculum to Include Online Safety? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Case in point:

    When I was in high school (AP Computer Science), the teacher (who knew what she was doing) would take days off and be replaced by a substitute. The only problem was that my high school classified computer programming as a math, which isn't that far off; but the substitutes would always come in and be shocked that there were computers. She would say that she was told this was a math course, and that she didn't know the first thing about programming.

    This happened about once a month.
