    Ok you do it an a plane washroom that is bouncing about the sky and that every one elas is trying to get in. But then you can probably pee statnding up in said washroon too and hit the bowl every time.

  3. Childishness on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 1

    What is it with all the childishness going on, first its you can't use my software if you are in the military laying your life on the line. Now we have anti caps lock. Did you know that people are starving in the world, doo something usfull put your energy there.

  4. Childish really. on New 'No Military Use' GPL For GPU · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a license that I once read that said the software could not be used in connection with any code developed by Microsoft or by a Microsoft partner. Very, very childish.

  7. Re:Demo Rules on Vista Speech Recognition Goes Awry · · Score: 1

    Demo Rules: 1) You never demo with out a script. 2) You never demo on any system that you did not use to create or at least test the script. 3) You never deviate from the script. 4) If someone wants to see something not in the script, show it to them later, in private.

  8. Build a space bus. on Fewer Heat Shield Dings on Shuttle Discovery · · Score: 2, Insightful

    NASA needs to scrap the shuttle. Then scrap the CEV. Then with the freed up money build a 'true space exploration vessel' that will be docked and serviced at the ISS. You use the current crop of heavy lifters to get the parts and supplies up there and the Soyuz to transport the people up and down. Why wast money reinventing what we have already.

  9. Mess with their mail on Turning Network Free-Riders' Lives Upside Down · · Score: 1

    Remove or replace the body of all emails. Inject masses of spam.

  10. Re:What about nearby fruit? on Ripeness Sticker Coming to Supermarket Fruit · · Score: 1

    We can buy pears in clear plastic boxes of four. Each box has a sticker on the inside and the box is designed to trap the 'gas' so the sticker shows the avarage of the 4 fruits. It works really well since on the side of the box is a scale telling you what colour means what.

  11. Re:hasnt this been around for a while? Yes it has. on Ripeness Sticker Coming to Supermarket Fruit · · Score: 1

    We have been able to buy pears in containers with these here (Ottawa,Canada) for the last year or so. They use yellow to orange I think, can't check threw the container out.

    And here I thought it was because everyone, myself included, was testing the MySpace Data Mining tools released on Freshmeat last night.

  17. Re:And Then Again, Maybe Yes on Anna Konda, the Robotic Firefighter · · Score: 2, Informative

    Keep the hose partially charged when moving, to stop kinking, then max the pressure when you get it in position. This would be a great asset when fighting shipboard fires where you do not have the optional advantage of fighting the fire from outside the structure.

  24. The Gov. Monitors Financial Transactions on Betting Against Online Gambling · · Score: 1

    They already do, they monitor all Swift transactions already suposedly to spot money going to terroists, organized crime, drugs its just an 'if statment' away from tracking payments to online gaming companies.

  25. There is alway time to do it twice, on Too Much Focus on the Beginning of Software Lifecycle? · · Score: 1
