  1. Re:Launch from altitude vs near equator on VASIMR Plasma Thruster To Be Tested Aboard ISS · · Score: 1

    Would the biggest problem with launching off a mountain not be the environmental impact? I don't see the damage that would be caused to the mountain sitting well with the green vote.

    Or the visual impact of such a thing, one of the main reasons people dislike wind farms, pretty mountain pity about the hulking great rocket strapped to it.

  2. Who's betting... on Microsoft Calls Today Global Anti-Piracy Day · · Score: 1

    ...that today will also see the most downloads of microsoft products from torrent sites? =)

  3. Re:Big Fricken Whoop De Woo on UK Gov't To Require ID Cards For Some Foreign Residents · · Score: 1

    1. It won't just contain a fingerprint, the trial runs the government did a few years back contained every piece of information you could think of (except a DNA sample) - fingerprint, photo, height, weight, address, convictions, occupation, etc.

    2. Where was the troll? I made no mention of where I stand on the subject, I merely stated that there is a hell of a lot of groups protesting this (NO2ID is one) and that imo the government will steam roll ahead with this.

  4. Still no 6g support on After 3 Years, Rockbox 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    3.0 is looking good, but still no 6g iPod (iPod Classic) support. From what I've read the 6g's have a checksum on the firmware, hopefully they'll find a way around it soon

  5. Re:Fanatical on Google Chrome Spinoff 'Iron' For Privacy Fanatics · · Score: 1

    I know there's a checkbox to agree to Chrome tracking your activity. My point was that it isn't fanatical to not want to be tracked, whether you have the choice or not.

  6. Re:Fanatical on Google Chrome Spinoff 'Iron' For Privacy Fanatics · · Score: 1

    Since when was it "fanatical" to not want your activities tracked? You wouldn't call it fanatical if I didn't want you to follow me around the streets all day, so nor do I want Google to follow me around the net all day.

  7. Language on Google Chrome Spinoff 'Iron' For Privacy Fanatics · · Score: 4, Informative

    The SRWare site and the installer are in German, but the browser itself (menu's, etc.) is in English, just for anyone thinking you're going to have to hunt out an EnUs addon or something

  8. Re:corporate... on BitTorrent Gets $8.75M From Venture-Capital Firm · · Score: 1

    Does anyone even still use the official client? everyone I know uses bit tornado or Azureus
