  1. Imagine a beowulf cluster of these! on The Human Brain Project Kicks Off · · Score: 1

    My server farm of articifial human braines will make me mad bitcoin

  2. Used to be apprentices would do that on Robots Join Final Assembly Line At US Auto Plant · · Score: 1

    How's anyone going to learn skilled labor like this in the future if they can't even apprenticeship?

  3. Re:Mars and Venus are warnings on Lower Thermal Radiation Input Needed To Trigger Planetary 'Runaway Greenhouse' · · Score: 1

    Despite the straw man you are so desperately clinging to, the "Heat Equation" describes a region far greater than those of we three planets.

  4. Re:Mars and Venus are warnings on Lower Thermal Radiation Input Needed To Trigger Planetary 'Runaway Greenhouse' · · Score: 1

    "All the necessary parameters"? The "Heat Equation"?

    You can't be serious.

  5. Mars and Venus are warnings on Lower Thermal Radiation Input Needed To Trigger Planetary 'Runaway Greenhouse' · · Score: 1

    Just think, both of those planets someday could have been very similar to our Earth.

    They are our sister planets, each expressing an ultimate degree to which things can go, and with what we've been discovering recently, remarkably little 'input'.

  6. Eugenics by any other name... on Scientists Seek Biomarkers For Violence · · Score: 2

    Please, "scientists", we've been down this road before... and it did not end well.

  7. Re:Don't you just love Government? on Hanford Nuclear Waste Vitrification Plant "Too Dangerous" · · Score: 1

    We ought to nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

  8. Re:In the USA, that's criminal. on Finfisher Spyware Use By Governments Expanding, Masquerades as Firefox · · Score: 1

    yeah but with the NSA, we don't need lameness like this to get our online surveillance.

  9. Re:Why would anyone want to ride out the apocalyps on Vivos Founder Builds an Underground City Where You Can Ride Out the Apocalypse · · Score: 1

    Vaporization in a nuclear blast? Not a bad way out. Instantaneous and blink it's over.

    Death by starvation or some fucking infection or some bullshit in a desolate world forced to fight mortally for cans of beans? No thanks, prefer the former. So, please, vaporization thanks. Even a bio/freak-virus attack which kills in a day or two time would suffice.

  10. Why would anyone want to ride out the apocalypse? on Vivos Founder Builds an Underground City Where You Can Ride Out the Apocalypse · · Score: 2

    Never could understand that. If the Apocalypse is coming, let me and my family be its first victims. A good clean death would be much preferable to a pathetic existence on the brink of starvation in a devastated world.

  11. It's a luxury. on Is Mobile Broadband a Luxury Or a Human Right? · · Score: 1

    IMO-- Lets first make food a right (and access to clean water, air, etc) and then let's talk about owning a laptop and broadband as a fundamental human right. Till then this sort of thing comes off as very first world centric.

  12. Switching tasks changes MY DNA. on Switching Tasks Changes Worker Bee DNA · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Totally feel the bees on that.

    Whenever I need to completely switch gears from one project to the next (like going from Drupal into Zend Framework), I will require at least two weeks of downtime (although I would never dare admit to it to my manager). It's unavoidable. It's like my brain is jammed between channels and no matter how much I beat the horse, it will be this way while my neurons rearrange themselves. Then, one sunny day, bing it's all realigned and reprogrammed and I'm off to the productive races.

    Wish there were medical-creative downtime available....

  13. Kind of like the words "freedom" and "liberty"? on Is Innovation the Most Abused Word In Business? · · Score: 1

    Buzzwords, the mantras of sinking ships. :(

    Sorry for the cynical missive.

  14. Wow. Time for a class action suit, then. on Polish Researcher: Oracle Knew For Months About Java Zero-Day · · Score: 0

    Pile on the attorneys and litigation.

    is there any other way to teach these lazy monopolistic companies anything?

  15. Lefty here, and I can't stand left handed mice on Confessions of a Left-Handed Technology User · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm just so used to right handed mice. I have always had the same issue with left handed scissors as well. :-/

  16. Re:And if a hurricane wipes out the GOP... on Hurricane Could Make a Mess of Republican Convention · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We could maybe get back to actually governing this country.

    What a wild idea.

    Please, lord, wash them all out to sea.

    Love, /.

  17. Re:Museum? on $900,000 Raised For Buying Tesla's Lab · · Score: 2

    Insurance companies says NO.

  18. :facepalm: on Kentucky Lawmakers Shocked To Find Evolution In Biology Tests · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ugh.

    well, hey, cheer up everybody, we just landed the most awesomest rover evar on mars!

    and all the other sciency stuff we've been accomplishing...

    we're doing great.

    right?

    hello?

  19. $1,000 and an iPad? For one kid? Cheap bastards. on AT&T Sponsors Zero-Day Hacking Contest For Kids · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Maybe its just the cynic in me, but this seems like a real rip off. How many bugs will be discovered in total? And how much would it cost to have an actual Q/A department find those bugs?

    Child labor in sheep's clothing?

  20. Re:new slogan on TSA's mm-Wave Body Scanner Breaks Diabetic Teen's $10K Insulin Pump · · Score: 1

    How very Dante's Inferno of you.

  21. Re:science is about method, not about theories on The Scientific Method Versus Scientific Evidence In the Courtroom · · Score: 1

    In a courtroom, "science" is only about what the judge believes is science. Same for whatever he or she things about a "scientific method".

  22. There was a recent Frontline episode on this on The Scientific Method Versus Scientific Evidence In the Courtroom · · Score: 5, Informative

    Good watch: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/real-csi/

    One thing they didn't cover, however, was the horror behind "expert" psychologists/psychiatrists and the damage they inflict.

  23. But what about the Stupid Gene? on Researchers Try To Identify the Intelligence Gene · · Score: 1

    Would this not be a more fruitful and important quest?

  24. Money laundering? on Microsoft Buys 800 AOL Patents For $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    I mean, seriously, what does AOL still do? How are they even in business still? I don't get it.

  25. Re:I still don't get it on US Prosecutors Have a Sealed Indictment On Assange, Say Leaked Files · · Score: 1

    Easy: Throw him in a hole and work it out later. We've long since jumped the "rule of law" rails over here when it comes to anything that annoys the elites.
