  1. Article is xeroxed? on Xerox Demos Self-Erasing, Eco-Friendly Paper · · Score: 1

    Is this a dupe, 1 year ago?
    http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/02/22/2353214
    There's even pictures from the old TFA

  2. Re:Obvious answer... on PC Gaming Suggestions for Console-like Fun? · · Score: 1

    Sorry how many copies did COD4 sell on the PC compared to the PS3/360? IIRC the developer of COD4 Infinity Ward once commented there are more pirated copies than legal clients played online.

    That's right, PC figures are not quite accurate, they are brought down by illegal P2P sharing. This look less an issue on consoles because console manufacturers can lock your console down.
  3. Re:why xenon? on New Ion Engine Enters Space Race · · Score: 3, Informative

    From wikipedia:
    Xenon is the preferred fuel for ion propulsion of spacecraft because of its low ionization potential per atomic weight, and its ability to be stored as a liquid at near room temperature (under high pressure) yet be easily converted back into a gas to fuel the engine. The inert nature of xenon makes it environmentally friendly and less corrosive to an ion engine than other fuels such as mercury or caesium. Xenon was first used for satellite ion engines during the 1970s. It was later employed as a propellant for Europe's SMART-1 spacecraft[16] and for the three ion propulsion engines on NASA's Dawn Spacecraft.

  4. FSM left out on What's Your Favorite Monster? · · Score: 1

    He flies.
    He has lots of followers.
    He will change the monster list with His Noodly Appendage.

    And from the name, it's obvious. He's a monster.

  5. Re:It's an accounting thing on An App Store For iPhone Software · · Score: 1

    MSDN charges. Platform SDK not.
    And Microsoft didn't force developers distribute their software through their own private channel. Maybe you could compare Apple's model to a XNA Express for XBox 360?

  6. Re:FastCGI != Apache Module on PHP Optimized for Windows Server 2008 · · Score: 1

    PHP don't encourage this anymore.
    What they now have are prepare statement in SQL calls, thanks to the PDO.

  7. Microborg Collective on Microsoft Trying To Appeal to the Unix Crowd? · · Score: 1

    Now they are going to assimilate the GNU!

  8. Re:Nuclear bunkers obsolete on Are Wikileaks Servers In a Nuclear Bunker? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But practically it was not H-bombs which defeat the bunkers, it's the shaped charge and nowadays kinetic penetrators.
    It's cheaper, easier to handle, and more efficient. No generals wish to use H-bomb against immobile tanks and personnel inside a bunker.

  9. Re:One Word on Information Requested for NASA-Based MMORPG · · Score: 1

    Come on, everybody knows the Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System is more cool than that!

  10. Re:Terrible link on Making 3D Models from Video Clips · · Score: 1

    Sometimes the editors just wish to give credits to who discovers it, and so the wrapped link.
    I think both link should be provided, the direct and the wrapped...

  11. Re:Very very incorrect. on USAF Launch Supersonic Bomb Firing Technology · · Score: 1

    With AGSM(Anti-G Straining Maneuver) and G-Suit, yes.

  12. Re:Wrong, sir. on Earth's Moon is a Rarity · · Score: 5, Informative

    Since there are no -1: misinformation in the comment system, I instead reply to your post with wikipedia's article.

  13. Re:1) Fuck SKU on The Orange Box Review · · Score: 1

    I had the same experience as you before - a/c being stolen by someone. Well, the a/c recovery really takes a long time... about 1-2 weeks to get a reply. Luckily the Valve staff are friendly and that once I provided with my original register e-mail address and product CD-key (not stolen), they switch the control of that a/c back to me. Too bad that thief don't add any of the games to the a/c and instead add some person I dont know to the friends contact list.

  14. Topic is misleading... on Google Set to Bid $4.6 Billion for Airwaves · · Score: 1

    At the first scan of the topic I thoguht Google was going to invade the chewing gum business...

  15. Anderson is back on New X-Files Movie · · Score: 2, Funny

    Welcome back, Miss Anderson. We miss you... Oops, sorry, wrong movie quote.

  16. But time doesn't exists yet on What Happened Before the Big Bang? · · Score: 1

    So there's no before and after, right?

  17. The right way to write a Russian Reversal on Nuke-Proof Bunker Turns Out Not Waterproof · · Score: 4, Funny

    In Soviet Russia, bunkers are waterproof but not nuke-proof.

  18. Re:Wordpress - a correction on Survey Finds Most WordPress Blogs Vulnerable · · Score: 1

    Run your WordPress using the working copy checked out from the WP repository. Upgrading your blog with a single svn switch command works like charm.

  19. Re:I don't get it... on Independent Data and Formatting with Microformats · · Score: 1

    How tricky it is to self-define a lightweight XML format? Use whatever element you like, and design the data structure on your own that suits you best. Why do we need to design a new language?

    How is it different from calling a server to output XML and output HTML/XHTML? Which modern browser today does not support XSLT? Firefox, Internet Explorer? (Yes, Opera will support XSLT 1.0 in the coming version 9)

    BTW, There are server-side XSLT processors (for very-old browsers sake). For instance, this, this and this.

    And finally, what's the point to make the document semantic if the browser ignores it?

  20. Re:I don't get it... on Independent Data and Formatting with Microformats · · Score: 1

    Why not XSLT ? Create a self-defined XML, then attach it with a XSLT Template And we dont even need a server side script to make it work!

  21. What we could do even we could predict it? on Supercomputer Models Sun's Corona Dynamics · · Score: 1

    Currently seems we could do nothing to work against it. Maybe we could assign a evacuate procedure to the satillites to move to the night side of the Earth to hide from CMEs in future?

  22. Re:I've recently been finding google to be worse.. on Microsoft Workers Prefer Google · · Score: 0

    Think of how do you search. You type in a keyword, hope to find information about it, whatever the source from. However you count on the site you hope for. For example, your first try on FileSystemWatcher on Google does return valid result from asp.net... Isn't that a useful piece of information about it? Why that is uncounted?

  23. Maybe because of Oracle? on Why Oracle Isn't Part of the OSDL · · Score: 0

    Oracle dislike open source, and OSDL dislike that...
