  1. Re:Why I think Dark Matter isn't there. on Dark Matter Stars in the Early Universe? · · Score: 1

    How does your idea explain the orbital velocity of stars at the galactic core? These stars are orbiting too fast based on calculations of visible matter alone.

  2. use existing robots on Half of Mars May Have Ice · · Score: 1

    Since the water is so widespread and the mapping is accurate, why not send the existing robots spirit and/or opportunity to investigate this evidence?

  3. it's obvious on Windows PowerShell in Action · · Score: 0, Troll

    Stop trying to fix windows and switch to linux. Windows is hopeless. If you can't run linux then you might as well end-it-all now, because you life is not worth living.

  4. use them to generate static electricity on Can CDs Be Recycled? · · Score: 1
  5. Re:Looks like a worthless suite to me on Microsoft Sued Over Vista Marketing · · Score: 2, Funny

    Depends on your perspective. For the attorney who needs a new Ferrari this lawsuit makes perfect sense.

    We're already having serious problems with this change. Patched windows workstations show different appointment times than unpatched workstations. We're planning to roll out the windows patch, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928388, to all computers ASAP.

  8. TA on The Most Important Multiplayer Games Ever · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Total Annihilation, the first 3D multiplayer strategy game.

  9. mythbusters results on California Proposes to Ban Incandescent Lightbulbs · · Score: 1

    The TV show mythbusters tested the power consumption of a variety of bulbs in a practical test. The results:

    * Incandescent 90 w/hour
    * Compact Fluorescent (CFL): 10 watts/hour
    * Halogen: 70 w/h
    * Metal halide 60 w/h
    * LED: 1 w/h
    * Fluorescent: 10 w/h

    http://kwc.org/mythbusters/2006/12/episode_69_2200 0_foot_fall_lig.html

    I've already replaced most of the bulbs in my home. The government should find a way to reduce the cost of the good fluorescent bulbs. Subsidize the cost maybe. A ban of incandescent bulbs is going too far though.

  12. Re:Peer review means little. on Science Journal Publishers Wary of Free Information · · Score: 1

    "Editors not only have enormous power, but they seldom are subject to peer review themselves. Some of them keep their positions for decades. Potential authors may complain privately about inconsistencies and bias, but they are seldom willing to say anything openly. Their fear is that if they did, they would be discriminated against. As in the case of other types of suppression, the fear of stepping out of line has a much greater effect than the few attacks on dissidents that do occur."

  15. WRONG on One In Five Windows Installs Is Non-Genuine · · Score: 0

    I had a valid windows XP workstation using a volume license suddenly begin failing validation for no reason. There was nothing I could do to save the workstation. I even called microsoft tech support. I had to reformat and start over.
