    Unintended. Consequences.

  2. Re:Meh.... on Sea Water Could Cause Uranium Pollution From Nuclear Fuel Rods · · Score: 1

    Because it pretty much always takes a stupid mistake to generate a nuclear disaster. Reactors are generally quite safe unless you really screw the pooch.

  3. Re:Idle power reduction? on Samsung Develops Power-Sipping DDR4 Memory · · Score: 1

    Have the RAM dump into a non-volatile solid state chip? (eg. flash) It would allow for very fast power on/off while keeping the power draw really low.

  4. Red Scare III, Revenge of the Towelheads on One Tip Enough To Put Name On Terrorist Watch List · · Score: 0

    The commies are back, but now they follow Islam and use small group tactics!

  5. Re:Survival of the fittest... on Real-Life Frogger Ends In Hospital Visit · · Score: 1

    Successful and fertile people should be encouraged to procreate. Or at least produce some gametes so that similarly gifted people can. Yeah, I know, eugenics and all that, but still.

  6. Re:You thought the GOP/TP represented regular peop on Republicans Create Rider To Stop Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    As long as the balls don't touch, it's not gay...

    Looking for Urchin artifact, offering 5k RU.

  8. Re:Consequences? on Cisco Social Software Lets You "Stalk" Customers · · Score: 1

    What he's talking about is far beyond astroturfing.

    Papers please.

  9. Re:NO! on Breakthrough Portends Cure For the Common Cold · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That reason could be that the metabolic expense is too high for someone who lives off 1000 Calories a day. Not really a problem for most 1st world folks nowadays...

  10. Re:unexplained?? on UVB-76 Broadcasts New Voice Message · · Score: 4, Informative
  11. Re:Public healthcare on The Best Medications For Your Genes · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well since Medical Insurers are exempt from anti-trust law, they have to DON'T compete AT ALL. Period. They can get away, legally, with things that would put the worst anti-trust abusers to shame. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarran%E2%80%93Ferguson_Act

  12. Re:next up.. on The Best Medications For Your Genes · · Score: 4, Informative

    Except that'd be a Violation of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Information_Nondiscrimination_Act>

  13. Re:Pong finally arrives on PS3! on Two-Player Pong Homebrew Arrives On PS3 · · Score: 1

    Actually, it just might. That is, assuming one has a large enough PS3 cluster.

  14. Re:Pong finally arrives on PS3! on Two-Player Pong Homebrew Arrives On PS3 · · Score: 1

    But will it run on a Beowulf Cluster?

  15. You must build it on Opening Quantum Computing To the Public · · Score: 2, Funny

    Almost got it, but not quite. We're looking for 300 qubits, by 80 qubits, by 40 qubits.

  16. Re:They'd better be careful on British Scientists Reverse Casimir Effect · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Not thinking big enough. Try the ground level of a skycraper. Now THAT'S messy.

  17. Well on Some Soft Drinks May Damage Your DNA · · Score: 0, Troll

    Just another potential reason for me to not drink pop. Not least of which is that I find the taste and carbonic acid unpalatable. From what I read, this isn't 100% sure though. But then, not much in this world is.

  18. Good on ya on BBC Kicked out of School Over Wi-Fi Scaremongering · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Those kids are alright. They were skeptical of something that was total baloney. Granted, it may have been obvious drivel, but the fact that they spoke up at all indicates that they will at least speak their minds.

  19. Re:Earlier death on Longevity Gene Found · · Score: 1

    The best answer would be to put a bit of speed in with sweet drinks so that you don't feel so hungry.

    That'd really put the "coke" back in Coke.
  20. Re:Headline missing a keyword on New Superbug Weapon to Replace Failing Antibiotics · · Score: 1

    Makes me think of good ol' Ebola.

  21. Re:Are they really gonna check these? on Washington State To Try RFID Drivers Licenses · · Score: 1

    I've found quite the opposite. The US boder patrol has generally been more strict on me than the Canadian one ever was.
