  1. Not actually laser beams shooting out on Laser Headlights Promise More Intense, Controllable Beams · · Score: 1

    From the video I just watched, there's some kind of lens in front of the laser beam that disperses it into a wider light beam. The laser should only be thought of as a bulb, then.

  2. Re:Open Secrets - Jay Rockefeller on Legislation Would Prohibit ISPs From Throttling Online Video Services · · Score: 2

    If only all of congress was leaving at the end of their term. Something other than naming buildings might actually get done.

  3. Re:Anyone know a good viewing area? on NASA's LADEE Rocket Mission To Launch September 6 · · Score: 2

    Assateague. No seriously, that's the name of it. It's a public beach directly east of Wallops. Probably costs a few dollars to get in. Or you can go to the Wallops Visitors Center. It's across the road from the facility and has a viewing area on the roof. It's free.

  4. Unexplainable phenomenon on Mystery Intergalactic Radio Bursts Detected · · Score: 1

    Therefore aliens

  5. Re:Just after DX: Human Revolution... on New Transistor Could Let Chips Interface With Living Systems · · Score: 1

    My vision will be augmented.

  6. This story sounds familiar on Why Star Wars Should be Left to the Fans · · Score: 1
  7. Mouse Hook on How To Diagnose a Suddenly Slow Windows Computer? · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of one program I was using that abused mouse hooks to see if the user was idle. It would cause certain programs to spike when moving the mouse (probably processes with a lot of handles receiving mouse messages). Wasn't all that noticeable until the framerate dropped substantially in games, where one uses the mouse a lot. Once I figured it out, I stopped using that program needless to say.

  8. It doesn't matter when IE8 is released... on Internet Explorer 8 Delayed Until 2009 · · Score: 1

    We'll still have to keep supporting (i.e. making concessions and hacks for) crappy IE6 on our websites as it will still have something like 50% browser share from being preinstalled with XP.

  9. pr0n? on Saturn's A-ring Soaks Up Debris Ejected from Nearby Moon · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Enceladus is ejecting matter from its geyser into Saturn's A-ring?

    This sounds like pr0n to me.

  10. Yes I am 18 years or older? on 'Porn King' Says Google Should Block Porn Access · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Responsible companies in the adult industry such as ours have done a great deal to deter minors from accessing adult material Yes, I'm sure an index page with an age verification is all you need.
  11. Re:Harvard on U.Maine Law Clinic Is First To Fight RIAA · · Score: 1

    That's interesting, because I was getting a torrent from a seeder which resolved to students.harvard.edu a couple weeks ago. I thank that poor bastard.

  12. Re:Modable + Online gaming on Deus Ex 3 Announced · · Score: 1

    I think they should stay away from multiplayer or let it be an afterthought like with the original. I've played the original game ten times now and never even considered playing multiplayer, because well...it just didn't need it. Many great games have snubbed the MP aspect and created better singleplayer games because of it...Bioshock, Hitman, HL2, NOLF, Deus Ex, etc.

  13. E.T. on Discovery Channel's Games Documentary Impresses · · Score: 1

    I loved being able to see and hear more about the actual Atari E.T. game they parodied in Code Monkeys recently. Nonetheless, you could definitely tell the game was a huge pile of suck.

  14. hmm on Girl's Heart Regenerates With Artificial Assist · · Score: 1, Insightful

    i thought Canada was supposed to have bad healthcare. hmm...
