  1. Not the first on Creationism Museum To Open Next Summer · · Score: 0

    This is not the first Creationism museum. There has been one in Eureka Springs, Arkansas for years. The Museum of Earth History has exhibits like "Eden", "The Great Flood", and "The Curse". Hilarious, until you realize they are serious.

  2. Re:A cyclic process? on Nvidia Working on a CPU+GPU Combo · · Score: 0

    Diapers do this too. They move in a cycle of unisex-> sex specific -> unisex. But with little improvement in quality, it seems to be just driven by marketing. Especially since each shift comes with a noticable bump in price.

    Well, if you look at anagrams of ScuttleMonkey, instead of Scuttlemoney, you get:
    LET ME SUCK TONY
    KEEN TO MY CULTS
    SLUTTY COKE MEN

  4. Re:Dark Side of The Moon on Should We Land on the Moon's Poles or Equator? · · Score: 0
    there may in fact be larger ice deposits on the far side of the moon anyway.
    Why would there be larger ice deposits, doctor? Even if the Earth's reflection made a difference on the moon's surface temperature, why wouldn't it just turn into water on this side? Does our RF interference make the water want to run away to the dark side?

    Remind me to never need brain surgery while driving through Utah.
  5. Beam Forming on IEEE Developments in Wireless Networking · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I like the sound of this "Beam Forming technology."

    I often use APs to connect two wired networks. (think: neighbors sharing one cable internet bill) I always thought it would be nice to aim the signal instead of just broadcasting in every direction. I looked into getting after-market directional antennae, but it is nice they are including this in the new standard.

  6. Re:Food for thought. on Search Engines Leech Value from Web Sites · · Score: 1
    Google sells adwords but it primarily gives users what they ask for, not what others pay for.
    Exactly. When I use google, I don't even pay attention to the sponsored links. And I don't think I am alone. The author acts like people like me don't exist. If I want to buy something, I'll search for it and still buy it from the original commerce site. If I want to read something, I'll search for it and still read it from the original news site. Sites can only get my business if I can find them.
  7. Re:Possible Look of iPhone on iCell in the Works? · · Score: 1
    "fictious Apple products"
    Apple products are already pretty ficty.
  8. Re:Government Secrecy on The Skylab-Area 51 Incident · · Score: 1

    How do you "inadvertently photograph" something from space with a handheld camera? Were they just snapping away pictures of the desert and happened to focus on a landing strip? I think not. You need one helluva zoom on a handheld camera to be able to see Area 51.

    I think this whole story is bogus. I personally know both Pogue and Carr. They have never mentioned this incident. The most interesting part of their Skylab mission was when a piece of tinfoil space debris was mistaken for a flashing alien spacecraft.

    I call shenanigans.

  9. Fuzzy Math on Spammer Gets $11 Billion Fine · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one that read that as "eleventy" billion?

    But I was confused by the $11.2 billion settlement. FTA, CIS was entitled to $10 per illegal email.

    $10 x 280 million = $2.8 billion

    It appears McCalla was charged $40 per email, not $10.
