  4. Re:Sounds About Right on Study Recommends Online Gaming, Social Networking For Kids · · Score: 0

    What I would do would be to give them an annoyingly small hard drive to begin with (say, 20gb or so), and leave a "nice" 80gb drive and a screwdriver on their desk and let them figure it out.

    I did the same thing myself, except I was replacing a 3gb drive with a 6gb drive...

    That Anonymous Coward is either the smartest dumb person, or the dumbest smart person I've ever seen.

  6. Change ownership on Google Terminates Lively · · Score: 0

    I wonder if they'd be willing to turn it over to the open-source community? Just host it on google code and let people go wild.

  13. 2x Wheels instead of a roll of tape on X-Rays Emitted From Ordinary Scotch Tape · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A more practical approach might be to have two wide wheels, one covered in the substance, and the other with a smooth non-stick surface centered in a vaccum ball. The substance could be reapplied easily whenever need be, and be a little less ridiculous.

  14. Re:Turn down the volume on Study Links Personal Music Players To Hearing Loss · · Score: 3, Funny

    Some of us listen to our music loud because we enjoy it. I exercise a lot and I need loud music to distract me from pain as well as road noises.

    Being distracted from road noises could lead to a LOT of pain :P

    By your logic, "googling" something is incorrect grammar as well.

  19. Re:Great! on "Dark Flow" Outside Observable Universe · · Score: 0

    i think life is possible in almost any kind of environment. just look at the so called fragile state of life as we know it - bacteria that thrives in nuclear reactors and in boiling water. from what i've obversed life isn't fragile OR rare, but tough enough to adapt to anything and populating to the extent it seems like a cosmic imperitive.

    I think a lot of people have a very limited scope as to what life can entail. What about the possibility of incorporeal life? Surely the honor of being alive isn't exclusive to one form of matter (solids).

    I don't know how I'd live without 7zips simple context-menu interface and speedy compression times. I always hated winrar though, I used Winace back in the day.

    I can't see this not being exploited heavily, move along there's nothing to see here.

  23. Re:Yes, maybe take some time off? on iPhone Takes Screenshots of Everything You Do · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Saying "a drug that is easily and readily available does more damamge than drugs that are much more rare and difficult to obtain" isn't much of a point outside of a smoke filled dorm room.

    It is very trivial to find someone dealing cannabis, and in finding such people, you're likely to find people who sell harder drugs. This is why people consider cannabis to be a gateway drug, because the people you get it off of are likely to be involved in harder, more "exciting" drugs, thus influencing people to try them. It's rather easy to find anything, as long as you know where to look. (Try the local pizza place, I guarantee at least 50% of them smoke cannabis)

  24. Re:Block Sites from Search List on Google Unsure About Letting Users Vote On Search · · Score: 1

    Yes, google should do it on a by-user basis. Especially with a user-system already in place. What about google safe-search? That's basically a filtration system, whats stopping them from gutting it and making it more customizable? (i.e. vote down sites by subject, heuristics, etc...)
