  1. Remember the last scene in "Raiders of the Lost Ar on Apollo 11 TV Tapes Go Missing · · Score: 1

    Remember the last scene in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Boxes and Boxes and more Boxes.

  2. Re:You don't really believe that conspiracy, do yo on Apollo 11 TV Tapes Go Missing · · Score: 1

    Actually have slides, remember those from before digital cameras, that I took off the TV pictures showing them coming down the lader.

  3. So.... on Apollo 11 TV Tapes Go Missing · · Score: 5, Funny

    So the actual 'raw' proof that men were walking on the moon is gone. How convenient.

  4. Re:Then they shoud charge more. on Net Neutrality a Threat to Online OSes? · · Score: 1

    and I pay fair market value for those services, so why must the "Internert" be subsidised or sold to me at a loss.

  5. Then they shoud charge more. on Net Neutrality a Threat to Online OSes? · · Score: 0, Troll

    If the those that own the infrastructure are loosing money or not making enough to maintain and improve the systems then they should just charge more. And if JQPublic cannot afford it then too bad. Access to the "Internet" is not a right. It is a nice to have and someone has to pay for it.

  6. Re:WRONG - they have been abused. on DHS to Send Widespread Alerts · · Score: 1

    And this will protect you from the storm surge, how?

  7. Scotty, I need those sheilds up NOW!!! on Northrop to Sell Laser Shield Bubble for Airports · · Score: 1

    Required Star Trek quote.

  8. Re:A license to print money... on Northrop to Sell Laser Shield Bubble for Airports · · Score: 1

    Only because stupid people panicked. Those of us that held on and bought low made a killing so to speak.

  9. Government sponsered SPAM. on DHS to Send Widespread Alerts · · Score: 1

    Just a thought.

  10. Re:Who are the terrorists? on DHS to Send Widespread Alerts · · Score: 1

    Something big and credible like trying to flood lower Manhatten that is 10 feet above sea level.

  11. No Malfunctioning Star Wars Orbital Laser on Indian Satellite Lost in Launch Explosion · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually it is an old Star Wars Orbital Laser from the Regan years. Unfortunately it has been malfunctioning for years and the U.S. still cannot get control of it to turn off its automatic targeting and firing mode. It has already shot down two shuttles, several air liners and a few other missiles. Three in the last few days.

  12. Re:Verifying code on Open Source In the National Interest · · Score: 1

    Actually all you need to do is write a simple compiler using asembler/object code to handle the inital version of gcc. Then you work your way up to the current release. As to verification of opcode functionality, that is just leg work.

  13. Re:The anti-OSS people do have one point. on Open Source In the National Interest · · Score: 1

    It is that simple because you have the source code for the compiler. Now I know you run into the chicken and the egg problem here but you can still analize the object code to see exactly if the code generated maches the source supplied.

  14. Re:The anti-OSS people do have one point. on Open Source In the National Interest · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Straw man argument. Its is open. Therefore you have the code. Therefore you can look.

  15. US Gov. Mandates ODF on Open Source In the National Interest · · Score: 1

    So how soon untill we see this.

  16. ISP Site Blocking DOES NOT WORK. on U.S. House to Vote on Anti-Online Gambling Act · · Score: 1

    Just as the government of China how effective it is.

  17. Re:Unfortunately on A Magnetic Memory Alternative to Hard Disk · · Score: 1

    No, but I remember entering in a boot loader by flipping switches.

  18. Can anyone say 'Core'. on A Magnetic Memory Alternative to Hard Disk · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This held its data for years after it was powered off.

  19. Well I was.. on Wind Powered Freighters Return · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Bad weather don't you mean any weather. Just ask any one who has ever worked on a ship or barge tow how dangerous that is. When that line breaks and snaps back it can go through armour plate.

  20. A big business solution to the problem. on Scientists Blocking out the Sun · · Score: 1

    The whole problem with global warming is there is no real share holder gain in stopping the cause. However, a project like blocking out part of the suns rays. Well that will cost a pile of cash. Lots of shareholder value there. Not to mention political kickbacks/campaign contributions.

  21. Because the FAA will non-nasa one unsafe. on NASA Holds Competition to Develop Space Vehicles · · Score: 1

    Because the FAA will declare the non-governmental one unsafe.

  22. The solution is simple. "Save As Redacted" on the. on More PDF Blackout Follies · · Score: 1

    The solution is simple. "Save As Redacted" on the file menu which would save the file as a graphic or set of graphics within a PDF file structure.

  23. Neopets site now Illegal in Washington on WA Law Means Linking to Gambling Websites Illegal · · Score: 1

    Thank goodness the children are now safe from the pseudo gambling that is found on this site.

  24. Lenovo just Microsoft Front. on Lenovo To Shun Linux · · Score: 1

    So does any one know where the money came from that Lenovo used to purchace the PC division. Yes it could have come from the Chimeese gov. but where did they get it. Is this not Microsoft moving onto hardware in a big way and doing it via China to get out from under the Justice Dept.

  25. It' a boy!!!! on More Details of the NSA's Social Network Analysis · · Score: 2

    So how many times has this happened. One call to aunt Martha, who then spreads the workd and then gets a visit from the FBI or agents of HS.
