Re: "Scientists develop new hydrogen reactor"

Thats really cool. I sincerely doubt it'll see much commercial use, as the oil companies will be very quick to snatch that up and bury it somewhere where it won't see the light of day for a few decades. I can imagine being 60 and seeing "NEW! Hydrogen reactor for your home! Runs on Ethanol!&quo...

Re: AMD 64

Windows XP 64 bit software just got a beta release recently. The software is valid for 360 days, roughly the amount of time before they release the final product. I don't know if they're charging for it or liscensing it as a free beta, but its an option.<br><br>And like Gambino said, you can run any...

I can vouch for this one, I played the demo a while back.. Good fun, but IMO the demo ended too soon. Which I suppose is the reaction they want to get out of you... <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.ryanaaron.com/...

Re: Anyone catch BSG?

Having seen very little of the original show I got to watch it from a completely objective standpoint, and I gotta say, I loved it. My favorite parts, of course, were the space battles. IMO, they were done to perfection. Not a whole lot of sound effects, as if the cameras were sitting there in space...
