  2. Re:only if you fly wrongly on Northrop to Sell Laser Shield Bubble for Airports · · Score: 1

    Don't get a radar lock on that A380 in front of me...

  3. Interesting, but... on Northrop to Sell Laser Shield Bubble for Airports · · Score: 1

    I hope they get the detection down right. I don't want any laser beams poking holes through whatever single engine private plane I happen to be flying in...

  4. Re:The other streaming video -- Forward SRB Camera on Shuttle Cameras Yield Excellent Footage · · Score: 1

    JUST before hitting the water you can see where something else hits causing waves. (Right after the black smoke pours out of the nozzle.) It is WAY too close to be the other SRB IMHO.

  5. Re:Ooh, Western Union... on eBay Bans Google Payments · · Score: 1

    The problem with Western Union is that it is an insecure payment method for online transactions. It's onlu real use is to send money between known individuals and/or companies. If you send money via Western Union for an Ebay transaction you have NO recourse against ANYONE when you get scammed. Randy PS. I work for an Auto Finance company that uses Western Union and Moneygram to receive payments on car loans.

  6. I can hear it now... on Microsoft to Supply Electronics to Formula 1 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Gentlemen, Restart your Engines!

  7. Where's Ben Affleck when you need him? on Asteroid Due for Close Approach · · Score: 1

    Or at least Robert Duval...

  8. Re:Clasic anti Nerd Propiganda on What Do Geek Squad Technicians Actually Do? · · Score: 1

    This tends to follow my West Coast upbringing. My definition follows that a Geek is a Nerd that can dress himself and reproduce. David Lightmans' 2 friends in the datacenter are both Nerds. David is a Geek, as is Prof. Falkin. What's funny is that even my 2 daughters (one is a geekchild, the other is a barbie player) recognise that the people in Geek Squad commercials are nerds. No self respecting geek would be caught dead in one of those outfits, let alone drive around in a Black and White New Beetle. (We might drive a Classic Beetle but that's beside the point...) Randy

  9. Estes Rocket on The Pentagon's Supersonic, Shape-Shifting Assassin · · Score: 1

    That is the Scissor Wing Transport.

    Amazing, what started out as an efficient way of moving people around the planet has been corrupted into a weapon of war.

    WHEN WILL WE EVER LEARN!

  10. Re:Actually... on A New Technique to Quickly Erase Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    And if they make the platters out of Peanut Butter and Potassium Chlorate, the platters can be used to IGNITE the thermite!

  11. Actually... on A New Technique to Quickly Erase Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    It would be better to make the platters out of peanut butter. Mice don't like cheese as much as you think.

  12. Re:Whether You Hate or Love Him... on Bill Gates to Step Down from Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I thought that Woz/Jobs did that back in the 70s!
