  1. Re:in the market for a USB key on A Magnetic Memory Alternative to Hard Disk · · Score: 1

    I don't think you could even find a USB flash drive as small as 32MB any more. You can get a 256MB or 512MB from ebay for $15-$30 or so. What are you waiting for?

    I understand that many of their former programmers have gone on to more lucrative positions at other companies, like WGA at Microsoft. :wq

    Hey, didn't KevinCostner's boat in Water World have one of these?

  6. If, if, if. on Solar System in a Can May Reveal Hidden Dimensions · · Score: 0, Troll

    ' "If the system's 'planets' moved slightly differently to the way predicted by standard gravity, it would signal the presence of new physical phenomena." ' Uh huh. And if a frog had wings it wouldn't have to land on it's ass whenever it jumped.

  11. Re:not the funniest joke on Student Suspended Over IM Icon · · Score: 1

    The article says most students laughed it off as a joke... it's difficult to see what's funny in a gun pointed at someone's head, even as a thumbnail sized icon. Oh come on, how can you say that something like this is not funny? http://www.eagleville.com/kitten-gun.jpg

  12. "...a unique review " ? on Unique Dell XPS M1710 Review · · Score: 1

    I don't see how this review is unique. I can find any number of online or paper magazine articles that fawn over their sponsors latest products.

    Nah, remember the article a few weeks ago about meteors? And how often they enter Earth's atmosphere & burn up? All those megaton-equivalents of energy have to go somewhere, the usual result is heat.
