  1. That's a switch on Astronomers Find Gas Cloud About To Fall Into Black Hole · · Score: 1

    Usually the gas cloud comes OUT of the black hole.

  2. Re:That doesn't sound right... on Earth's Core Made In Miniature · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, you could check. Melting point of sodium is 97.72 C.

  3. I dunno on Russian Scientists Say They'll Clone a Mammoth Within 5 Years · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sounds like a mammoth project.

  4. Re:600 light years... on Kepler Confirms Exoplanet Inside Star's Habitable Zone · · Score: 2

    Agreed. If it's the same density then 2.4x radius would be 14x the mass. I'm trying to picture a planet with intelligent pancake beings.

  5. An extra certificate sent to the browser on Google Researchers Propose Plan To Fix CA System · · Score: 3, Funny

    So eventually it will be certificates all the way down.

  6. Great news on Google Researchers Propose Plan To Fix CA System · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I live in California and it's a mess.

  7. Re:Where to put a 10' story Tesla coil on Huge Tesla Coils Will Recreate Natural Lightning · · Score: 2

    I'm guessing it would have to be enclosed, like PG&E's facility in San Ramon, seen on Mythbusters. I work less than a mile away and there's no interference.

    BTW to me it looks like a giant breast.

  8. So if it could play video on Deep-sea Camouflage Tactics Revealed · · Score: 1

    It could deter predators by showing a distant shark approaching.

    And attract a mate by showing squid porn.

  9. From the title on Startup Testing Mobile Farmbots · · Score: 1

    I thought it was a mobile app for automated gold farming.

  10. Re:Lost track... on Firefox 9.0 Beta Available · · Score: 1

    Don't forget, Daylight Saving Time ended Sunday (in US). If you forgot to change your clocks you might be running the wrong version of Firefox.

  11. You could still go from SF to LA on Tesla To Build a Rapid-Charging Station Between LA and SF · · Score: 1

    Because LA sucks.

  12. Bad omen? on China Completes First Space Docking Test · · Score: 1

    First headline: China completes docking test
    Second headline: Watch the fiery re-entry

  13. Walk, trot, jump, and rear on Agile Quadruped Robot Unveiled By Italian Roboticists · · Score: 1

    But can it hump?

  14. They should play this on Nationwide Test of the Emergency Broadcast System · · Score: 1

    Best alert ever. And no confusing it with an actual emergency.

  15. Re:Best Part on China Says Its Internet Policies Are Open and Clear · · Score: 1

    and we also protect the freedom of expression of citizens in China

    I can't even come up with a response to this.

    1984.

  16. Re:Look for life! on Youngest Exoplanet Discovered · · Score: 2

    Maybe black obelisks?

  17. Off topic on Mojolicious 2.0: Modern Perl For the Web · · Score: 1

    So how did the camel icon lose its head? Is it the new security to protect us from zombie camels?

  18. No big deal on Scientists Developed Artificial Structures That Can Self-Replicate · · Score: 1

    They're basically doing PCR-like reactions to clone DNA-like polymers. Same as DNA amplification has been done for years.

  19. Hair-Washing Robot on Panasonic To Unveil New Helper Robots · · Score: 2

    "Panasonic has updated this latest model to feature washing arms with more fingers - 24 up from 16 - and improved mechanics"

    Perhaps there are other markets for these robots.

  20. Re:Working with San Francisco-based startup... on IBM Launches Parking Meter Analytics System · · Score: 2

    If the rates are increased enough, eventually there will come a time when you will be able to find a parking spot.

  21. Can NewEgg survive the post-apocalyptic future? on Can Newegg Survive the Post-PC Future? · · Score: 1

    I suppose if zombies take over, they can survive by selling brains.

  22. Re:Dirt over the urn? on Doritos Creator Art West Dead at 97 · · Score: 1

    It's not uncommon, we did this with my mother. A couple of reasons -
    - If the death and burial are some distance apart, transportation is a lot easier
    - You can fit an urn into a family plot between full-size plots.

  23. Count de Dion on World's Oldest Running Car Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    I'm picturing him standing on top of his car as it's puttering down the road, singing My Heart Will Go On.

  24. Re:2CaOH + 2CO2 = H2O + 2CaCO3 on Scientists Plan "Artificial Volcano" Climate Experiment · · Score: 1

    And presumably you get your CaOH by heating limestone.
