  1. Re:If they can drop automobiles? on Slashback: Cooperation, Gravity, Petite · · Score: 1

    Terminal Velocity is the Charlie Sheen movie.

  2. Old School & New School on What Makes Great Science Fiction? · · Score: 1

    Old School--Jack Vance's Alastor Cluster is easily on a par with Larry Niven's Known Space.

    New School--The Liaden Universe of Sharon Lee & Steve Miller

    Take a read, you won't be disappointed.

  3. Avoid Tiger Direct on Home-Built vs. Store-Bought PCs · · Score: 1

    Listen to the people who are telling you Tigerdirect sucks.

    I once received parts from them that someone else returned--in the box that had the RMA on it and the address of the original purchaser. It hadn't even been opened by TD, they just tossed it into another box and shipped it to me.

    And of course returning it was a bitch.

    DO NOT BUY FROM THESE LOW LIFES!

  4. Immortal? on What Will Human Cloning Mean For Humanity? · · Score: 1

    Anyone ever read 'To Live Forever' by Jack Vance? After we've got the cloning part figured out all you need to do is figure out how to transfer memories to your clone and you could effectively live forever. Well, maybe, but in the book they had other problems.

  5. 2wire on On the Reliability of DSL Providers... · · Score: 1

    www.2wire.com is a good resource for DSL. If you're in the Chicago area RCN/Enteract is a good provider.
