Comment There is proof of the original intended quote. (Score 1) 149

There is an old photo that exists, which I saw maybe 5 years ago when arguments about this were also going on, which has Armstrong and the team in a room at NASA doing...whatever it is that astronauts do in the weeks/months they fly.

I cant recall if it was on the internet or a documentary. I think it may have been a doco.

On a blackboard or similar in the background in the room they are all posing it the quote written. It was different from what he said.

I had a quick google but couldnt find the photo. If someone knows where it is or the name of the doco, please post the link!

Comment Care labels? (Score 1) 616

Easy - care labels.

I have found them sewn on the inside of nearly all my shirts and pants, and all these years later I can still read them to learn how to take care of them.

Sample:

Warning: toxic nuclear waste. Do not iron. Do not tumble dry. Warm wash with water and soap only. Drip dry in deep bunker 1 mile underground for 10,000 years.

And best of all you get a discount if you buy care labels in batches of more than 1000.

Submission + - $10 short range 5Gbps wireless chip demonstrated

mickq writes: "The Age reports that Melbourne scientists have built and demonstrated a tiny 5mm per side CMOS chips that can transmit 5Gbps over short distances — about 10m — featuring a tiny 1mm antenna, a power amp that is only a few microns wide, and a low 2watt power consumption . "GiFi" appears set to revolutionise short distance data transmission, and transmits in the relatively uncrowded 60GHz range. Best of all, the chip is only about a year away from public release, and will only cost around AUD$10 (US$9.20) to produce."
