  1. Re:Water sublimating on Water Ice On Mars · · Score: 1

    Iodine sublimates at standard pressure I think. Heat it and it turns into a purple gas and will crtstalize on a cool surface.

  2. Re:Who woulda thought? on Fastest-Ever Flashgun Captures Image of Light Wave · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought tentacles was a greek god. Ever hear of popsicles - the greek god of frozen confections?

    now that's funny

  4. Re:Screw water on Japanese Company Says Laws of Physics Don't Apply — to Cars · · Score: 1

    I thought that catalysts "catalyze" chemical reactions and are not used up because the are not reactants. Been a long time since I've studied chemistry though. :D

  5. Re:It was predictable on Why OLPC Struggles Against Educators, Big Business · · Score: 1

    I agree. I think I will start OWSPC - One Wooden Spade Per Child. It's a project that I will start in a poor country to provide wooden spades to rich kids in industrialized nations.

    lol - we might be related :D

  7. Re:Alcohol cooling is a bad idea. on IBM Water-Cools 3D Multi-Core Chip Stacks · · Score: 1

    I think a cooling system using vaporization would most likely be a closed system.

  8. Re:Oh sweet, MS Free! on Microsoft Free, One Year Later · · Score: 1

    Just curious. Does suspend and hibernate work on that laptop once the proprietary graphics driver is installed? Perhaps I will try the latest ubuntu if it does.

  9. Re:Smalltak is a huge success and also a failure on What Makes a Programming Language Successful? · · Score: 1

    I was browsing for smalltalk info and found this: http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/userblogs/cincom/blogView?content=successes

  11. Re:Has he not heard of Boinc? on "Nightlife" Harnesses Idle Fedora Nodes For Research · · Score: 1

    Maybe he can make BOINC easy to install on a linux system. Seems like you have to read docs to get "folding" or "seti" running now - many wont do that.

  12. Re:Or it is not spreading on Why Linux Doesn't Spread - the Curse of Being Free · · Score: 1

    >> My sentiments exactly.

  13. Re:Surprise! on Yet Another Perpetual Motion Device · · Score: 1

    don't forget: shows it to a guy who supposedly does understand physics and electronics. The smart prof. says "it's real" and struggles to understand it. My BS detector is going crazy.

  14. Re:the quote on Yet Another Perpetual Motion Device · · Score: 1

    the "it's real" part. It's a real what? A real discovery of some sort?

  15. the quote on Yet Another Perpetual Motion Device · · Score: 0

    I'm skeptical that the prof. really said "But I saw it. It's real. Now I'm just trying to figure it out." If he did he's a jackass.

  16. Re:It's easy - just make it better on Torvalds On Desktop Linux's Slow Uptake · · Score: 1

    If linux devs had only a small number of hardware devices (and specs) to develop their software for I think Linux would "just work" and be very mac like in that respect. Consider the vast number of choices people have when it comes to hardware. Amazes me that linux will work with as many different hardware setups as it does.

    Thank you Lunar_Lamp. Knew there had to be a reason.

  18. Re:That's not a transparent fish... on See-Through Fish Help Cancer Research · · Score: 1

    when I saw the pic of the "transparent" fish I thought of your catfish which I've seen many times in tropical fish stores. So why not spend 1.69 and buy a few and avoid the lengthy process of breeding your own? Anyone?

  19. Re:Blah on Is the Game Boy the Toughest Product Ever Made? · · Score: 1

    totally forgot about this one. Brings back memories. I'm getting old. :)

  20. Re:sterling engine? on Super Soaker Inventor Hopes to Double Solar Efficiency · · Score: 1

    >>That is, the fraction of the energy you can remove is exactly equal to the fraction of the temperature you can remove. I struggle with these concepts sometimes. This I think, is an excellent explantation. Even I can understand it. Thanks.

    perhaps the original message can be painstakingly reassembled later :|

    Bz-flag is the coolest. Especially the leagues. Great game. Hard to master though.

    You're right. No need to even read the article. Linux will be whatever someone, be it individual or corp., decides to make it.
