  1. Re:The real question on Scientists Float Soap Bubbles As a More Effective Drug Delivery Method · · Score: 1

    ... delivery of drugs and vaccines.

    The question: Will 2 year-old children swallow soap bubbles?

    Don't worry, you can put your vaccines in sand or shit and still deliver the payload to babies voluntarily. The challenge is usually to prevent a baby from eating stuff.

  2. Re:instant disqualification on Justified: Visual Basic Over Python For an Intro To Programming · · Score: 1

    Where Python is for people with a rational aversion to curly braces.

    2015 is the year of SSH on the desktop.

  5. Re:Is Yahoo! still a thing? on Marissa Mayer's Reinvention of Yahoo! Stumbles · · Score: 1

    About a month after Mayer became CEO there was a Yahoo mail redesign. I didn't particularly liked the changes but could live with it. Another month later, another redesign and that made mail so sucky that it became useless for me. I had been using Yahoo mail for more than 10 years, since 2003.

    they are doing it to get to or from jobs.

    Just showing how difficult it is: the availability of functioning freeways makes people live further away from their jobs. So you could place a toll on it and expect people or jobs to relocate.

  7. Re:defense against bennett on Sony Reportedly Is Using Cyber-Attacks To Keep Leaked Files From Spreading · · Score: 1

    You can still buy a M-16, it'll be fucking expensive but they're for sale for USA citizens. Any full auto from before 1986 but that's modern enough.

    Another problem is that militia. To me it looks like a bunch of guys with (semi-) automatic weapons defending their lives, homes and way of living against the government. say, pretty much like what they're doing in the tribal areas of Pakistan or Yemen. But no, your militia isn't going to get Hellfire missiles legally. The second amendment is obsolete, just as the wigs the founding fathers wore.

  8. Re:Ecology vs archeology on Peru Indignant After Greenpeace Damages Ancient Nazca Site · · Score: 1

    Those were millenials too. It's not just a western problem.

  9. Re:Just wondering... on MIT Removes Online Physics Lectures and Courses By Walter Lewin · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There's a difference between his questionable social behavior and his academic work (which doesn't seem to be in doubt). The problem with Mengele c.s. was that their scientific conduct was abhorrent and with it any scientific results.

  10. Re:Shakedown on Civil Rights Groups Divided On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    This is also, not coincidentally, why the NN debate is much less intense (in fact, almost non-existent) in Europe.

    It's very intense and existent in Europe. Just google "eu net neutrality" to get some idea.

  11. Re:By same logic, Cameron is to blame for murders. on UK MP Says ISPs Must Take Responsibility For Movie Leaks, Sony Eyes North Korea · · Score: 1

    Fine. In your logic, after a copyright infringement, the right holder doesn't have the exclusive right anymore because it's stolen. Have fun explaining that to the copyright holders, see if they're willing to embrace your explanation.

    FYI: copyrights are very strong and versatile rights, covered by many laws and treaties which contain criminal penalties and financial damages for infringement. And theft is something different altogether.

    The only thing a copyright holder wants is that you feel the indignation associated with the theft of physical goods. A real equation of copyright infringement with theft would be a huge disservice to rights holders.

  12. Re:By same logic, Cameron is to blame for murders. on UK MP Says ISPs Must Take Responsibility For Movie Leaks, Sony Eyes North Korea · · Score: 1

    It doesn't qualify. Nothing was removed. When I steal your bike, you can't ride it anymore. Are you saying Sony can't release the movies anymore now they're 'stolen'? Get a clue on copyrights; rights holders wouldn't want to trade it for normal property.

    It wasn't theft.

    From the image sequence, it seems that radar can even pick up light and dark.

    Yes, they do.

  16. Re:This is useless on Winning Algorithms For Rock, Paper, Scissors · · Score: 1

    When I play rock, paper, scissors with someone, we just play once unless it's a tie, so there are no patterns.

    I guess that now that you know there are patterns, you'll play it for hours on end.

  17. Re:That's kind of curious on How Does Heartbleed Alter the 'Open Source Is Safer' Discussion? · · Score: 1

    I think the grandparent was right. MS now is hugely better than the MS of 10-15 years ago.

    Hugely worse is hardly imaginable.

  18. Re:Why do people listen to her? on Jenny McCarthy: "I Am Not Anti-Vaccine'" · · Score: 1

    Is it because of her advanced medical degree? Her first hand knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry?

    Her artful use of the asterisk.

  19. Re:Old News on Researchers: Rats Didn't Spread Black Death, Humans Did · · Score: 1

    Scientists discovered this at least 6 years ago when I watched a documentary about it, and most likely quite a bit before that.

    It's highly unlikely it was discovered when you were watching the documentary. "Quit a bit before that" seems a good guess.

  20. Re:Better headline on New Treatment Kills Metastatic Cancer Cells · · Score: 1

    Perhaps one day it leads to a vaccine for metastasis. I'd love that, my dad lays dying now from a failing liver while the actual tumor can't even be found.

  21. Re:Was not arrested on Australian Teen Reports SQL Injection Vulnerability, Company Calls Police · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was the journalist though, an arrest would make the headline a little more juicier.

    I trust you've found Vermeer's fingers in an old barn with the paint still on them.

    Agreed. Handing out vaccines isn't going to structurally improve lives and ol' Bill isn't going to get on the Free Software bandwagon. But maybe he's just trying to purchase a place in heaven.
