  1. Re:Is it worth it? on Space Shuttle One Step Closer To July Launch · · Score: 1

    I definitely think space missions are worth it. Just think of all the technologies and valuable spin-off products that it has brought us. I believe we shouldn't stop exploring the universe. We should definitely continue - I can't wait before the first human will place it foot on Mars. There's always a chance that a mission fails - but I'd rather die in a Shuttle than getting run over by a truck.

  2. Very nice on Yahoo! Orders Wikipedia Hardware · · Score: 1

    I hope this will make WikiPedia a little bit faster. Sometimes they're just way too slow because they can't handle the load.

  3. Cool.. but pricey on New Keyboard Technology · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Looks like a pretty cool keyboard for hardcore gamers. But I just can't justify spending $149 on a keyboard.

  4. Life prolonging on FDA Rejects Artificial Heart · · Score: 2, Informative

    The source claims the heart has been tested by 14 men. Two died directly, one never regained consciousness, ten died within five months and one died after 17 months.

    It costs $250,000 and at best it gives the patients a few months extra life. I believe it should be approved, but only if the patient wants to take the risk and pay for it.

  5. Re:Interesting.. on CVS Disposable Camcorder Hacked · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's 20 minutes - just enough for the foreplay ;)

  6. Beating a supercomputer is easy.. on Linux Chess Supercomputer Overpowers Grandmaster · · Score: 5, Funny

    I bet I can beat every supercomputer on Earth.. If you just allow me to pull the plug ;)

  7. Interesting.. on CVS Disposable Camcorder Hacked · · Score: 3, Funny

    This will finally enable you to create your own cheap sextapes, without the chance that some curious CVS employee(s) will see your work..

  8. Re:Original link on Flash Drives in Future Apple Laptops? · · Score: 1

    >Note, for example, that the drive uses the "industry's highest density 8 GB" flash to create 16 GB drives Wrong, it uses 8 gigabit flash memory and not 8 gigabyte. Thus, a 16GB flash drive needs sixteen 8Gb memory chips and currently each chip costs roughly $55. This means that a 16GB solid-state drive (SSD) would cost about $800-900.
