  1. China doesn't import T. Cruise? on Video Surveillance Identifies Threat Patterns · · Score: 1

    Why pay IBM? I mean he's got the last Precog...

  2. Title Phrasing on Will China Beat the United States Back to the Moon? · · Score: 1

    Considering China has never been to the moon I don't think they can go back.

  3. Gives "The Stranger" a whole new meaning.... on Bionic Hand Makes it to Market · · Score: 1

    No more sitting on my hand until it goes numb!

  4. Re:Would you like to play a game? on Military Running a Parallel Earth Simulator · · Score: 1

    Exactly and when the world came to an end it would play an mp3 file of those five notes from Close Encounter of the Third Kind.......

  5. Time and Twins on Firstborn Get the Brains · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the time between the boys is significant more so than the fact they are 1st and 2nd in birthing order. For instance what about twins who can be born less than a minute apart? The study was very wide in scope and should include much more information.

  6. Re:If Spam is illegal then the Post Office should. on Spammer Robert Soloway Arrested · · Score: 1

    Well of course if the government charged 42 cents for each email spammers sent.....Spammer's would either (i) be broke (ii) be their best friend and named to the head of FEMA or something.

    Thats three words and some other characters but who is counting.

    Got an F in Sex........says her drivers license. Ba dum dum :)

  10. Re:New technology? on New Solar Panel Design Traps More Light · · Score: 1

    While other solar arrays open using servos, I think it is the final size that is of consideration. In this model I think instead of laying out every "blade" of grass end to end as a current soloar array does. Or even if you are Spectrolab and have a layered approach for different wavelengths "grass blades both spread and stacked". This array uses some funky cool vertical arranged setup that reduces the surface area by some degree. At least that's what I'm deducing after RTFA.

    so it goes.

    riiiiiight.....I'm the troll and you are?

    Yep you can do that, IF you don't crack the case or screen while attempting to do it. Additionally, your hard drive is only useful in an iPod while flash is good in thousands of devices quickly and easily swappable. And then there is the question of what to do with your old iPod drive... you prefer size while I prefer functionality. While I do accept the iPod community, your size does not impress me.

  14. Re:Flash seems to be the way to go.... on Details of Next Gen Zune Surface · · Score: 0

    Are you limiting your iPod to music? I enjoy a multi-media player personally.

  15. Re:Flash seems to be the way to go.... on Details of Next Gen Zune Surface · · Score: 1

    you mean the 80GB your iPod will always have...

  16. I wish the contest was.... on Live spam-catching contest at CEAS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    physically catching the spammers! (your imagination can do the rest)

  17. Re:Flash seems to be the way to go.... on Details of Next Gen Zune Surface · · Score: 1

    Wow I didn't mean to start a flamebait posting. I am more of a minimalist but more power to all the audiophiles out there that like their hard drives filled with years of music. I have no problem with that. I for one, am actually not one to say that anyone should be restricted to any device, size, type, mime whatever. I think technology is great for that reason.

    The fact I can be happy with 4GB of Flash and you can be desire more than 80GB is awesome.

  18. 1000 GS on Details of Next Gen Zune Surface · · Score: 1

    I am just stating the manufacture specs for failure. (SanDisk)

  19. Re:Flash seems to be the way to go.... on Details of Next Gen Zune Surface · · Score: 1

    I don't think they are too expensive. You can buy 4GB flash cards for around $50.00-$75.00 Also the benefit of Flash is that you can take it out and put in larger flash as long as the device can handle it. Its portable so you can transfer flash into a friends device or whatever cool idea of portability you want to think up. Upgrading over time is also a pretty nice feature IMO.

  20. Flash seems to be the way to go.... on Details of Next Gen Zune Surface · · Score: 0, Interesting

    I don't understand why the hard drive is so popular in these devices. SD cards can withstand up to a 1000 Gs and still operate. I don't think you can say that for a hard drive without some sort of catastrophic head crash or something.

  21. Siberia... on Google to Hold Worldwide Developer Day · · Score: 0

    I thought I saw an editorial a few days ago stating that Siberia could be the next silicon valley. While not surprised one of the sites is in Moscow, even less surprised its in Russia, I thought that they would consider the amount technical vocations in Siberia. I guess travel there would be tough, I've never been but I've heard its a little remote.

    Find the nearest outlet and mold an "arm" into the plug... no need for international plug adapters.

    Posting your speculation and not even looking at the video is lame.
