  1. Re:Gravitational slingshot on New Horizons Probe's Images of Jupiter · · Score: 1
    Um... what? IANAPhysicist, but it seems to me the link you provided explains exactly that the gravitational field is used in this maneuver. True that it is combined with the orbital velocity, but without the gravitational pull, you have nothing.

    Or were you suggesting the spacecraft was using a lasso?

  2. Re:Trimming the verge on Google's Best Perk — Transport · · Score: 1
    Why do you think this? It sounds like pure speculation to me. Do you have any reason to think this is how they will behave?

    Last I checked Google is doing quite well with the business model they are using and they have already grown large enough that they would have moved in such a direction if they were going to.

    Only if I can ship him to your office first...

    Hampsterdance.

    A guy in my office sets his ring to max volume, the ring set to hampsterdance, then leaves it in his cube while he wanders off.

  5. Re:I'm sorry but you don't "throw" beer on The Beer Tossing Fridge · · Score: 1
    Well, see, they did carbonate it before they called it beer.

    I'm pretty sure that is all it takes to pass American beer purity laws...

  6. Images on Adobe Tackles Photo Forgeries · · Score: 1, Informative
    PDF may be boring to you, but it has images, which are really necessary to this particular story

    (whereas the link you provide does not.)

  7. PS9 on Sony Keynote Offers Hope For PlayStation 3 Fans · · Score: 0
    PS3? ::yawn::

    I'm waiting for the PS9

  8. It *wasn't* redundant on Cassini Returns Amazing New Imagery from Saturn · · Score: 0
    When I first thought to post (there were only two comments)... Trouble is I forgot the HTML needed to make the links all nice and neat so I had to Google it. :(

    If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

  9. Better photos on Cassini Returns Amazing New Imagery from Saturn · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The site seems about 10 seconds from being fully /.ed, better photos available from NASA anyway. Full size image Cool archive

  10. insightful? on Personality Secrets in Your MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    OK, why was he modded insightful? Clearly this was intended as a humorous post... (or the modders are clearly not from America) :P

  11. 96 comments and not one....? on IBM's New Processors To Exceed 5Ghz · · Score: 1

    I did a search with my threshold turned down to 1, and no one asked the most important question yet. But does it run Linux?

  12. Re:5.5m users a month? on 15 Websites That Changed the World · · Score: 1
    They said users, not registered users.

    I am quite sure there are many casual readers that do not bother to register to read.

    Dude ... spaghettimonsterwillreturn400002k.com is still available

  14. I for one... on Bio-diesel Made from Sewage · · Score: 1

    Welcome our shit eating algae overlords!

  15. Re:I'm not sure... on Cell Division Reversed for the First Time · · Score: 1
    that I want to be squeezed back into my mother's womb just yet...

    Is that to say you might go for it in the near future?

  16. Hmm on Sun Research Yields Unexpected Results · · Score: 5, Funny
    "Our Sun is not the Sun that we thought it was."

    Sounds like something my parents said...
