  1. Re:same as the US elections ... on Format Standards Committee "Grinds To a Halt" · · Score: 1

    "It's just a matter of time before some lunatic figures out a way to game the system"

    You mean like by buying up the majority of the media outlets and introducing political bias into news? What are the odds of *that* ever happening?

  2. Re:Curious... on Echeria Coli Co-Opted To Make Gasoline · · Score: 1

    You're assuming this is some type of batch process where the output is gasoline. It would likely be a continuous reactor where the feed stream is food for the e-coli and the outlet is enriched in the gasoline (or diesel) precursor which would have to be distilled and purified.

  3. Re:Devil's advocate on A Year In Prison For a 20-Second Film Clip? · · Score: 1

    She should insist on a trial by jury. Any reasonable jury would find her innocent or let her get away with a slap on the wrist. I know I would.

  4. Re:Nah on Shutting Down Annoying Recruiters? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I may be boring but I politely tell them that I'm not looking to make a change right now, then I ask for their contact info in case I need them sometime in the future. They stop bugging me, it's a short call, and I have a list of headhunters if things ever turn South. My previous job things weren't looking so hot with layoffs on the horizon etc so I started looking and I haven't been happier since I found something new. Don't crap on those guys too much, you may need 'em some day...

  5. Re:Duuuh, Obama's a Democrat on Obama's MySpace Drama · · Score: 1

    Obama: nice site, how much do you want for it?
    some myspace schmoe: $50k
    Obama: mmm $50k? I don't think it's worth that much, you keep it and I'll make my own

    Smells like capitalism to me. What is Obama trying to steal? He simply chose not to purchase the goods because the price was too high.

    Why can't Obama make his own site? Why should he have to buy the one this kid made?

  6. Re:here is my example on Speed of Light Exceeded? · · Score: 1

    Similarly, shadows can exceed c even when no individual photon exceeds c

  7. what a dump on Sealand Put Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    That place looks like a prison I think I'll hold out for something better

  8. not even an honorable mention on The Geekiest Animals in History · · Score: 1

    for Maxwell's Demons?

    They allow you to derive the thermodynamic value of information. It doesn't get much geekier than that ;-)

  9. Re:It's a scam! on Moore's Law For Razor Blades? · · Score: 1

    You know, I couldn't agree more. I stopped buying name brand razors when the mach 3 came out. I figured it was just plain silly. Then I looked at the price and decided it wasn't silly, it was stupid. 12 mach 3 blades $12.99 vs. a 12 pack of bic disposable (single blade) for $1.29. They both last as long before going dull; the bic disposables work just fine.
