    you clearly know nothing of biology...

  2. Re:AT&T's Fault? on AT&T Sued For Systematic iPhone Overbilling · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Maybe they did, but the phones turned off didn't get billed so they're not mentioned?

    From the provider's point of view it is pretty easy to determine if a phone was actually on or not, so if you're going to overbill it's probably wise to overbill phones that were actually turned on...

    Tai: So as you can see I used this method to calculate the surface underneath the graph, and as you can clearly see the results show that....
    Fellow MD1: Wait, what method? That looks pretty sciency!
    Fellow MD2: Cool method, did you think of it yourself?
    Tai: Huh, I just calculated the surface underneath the graph, it's basic calculus you know?
    Fellow MD1: Calculus schmalculus, did you think of publishing your method
    Fellow MD2: Yeah you should totally publish this! Call it Tai's method or something, it's awesome!
    Tai: I guess...

    I remember a similar incident at my local university, where all students had to redo the test. Turned out several of the students parents' were lawyers, and the university got sued hard...

    why with the percentages, taking everything above minimum wage...

  7. Re:Could be worse on Solar Cells Made From Bioluminescent Jellyfish · · Score: 1

    You realize no jellyfish is going to be harmed for this right? This protein will just be made synthetically in the lab in bulk, which is way more efficient than isolating it from actual jellyfish.

    Yeah TFS is misleading, what else is new?

    That would be awesome on Android based phones with touchscreens, specially if you can just start drawing characters and it will recognize them like in this site: http://www.nciku.com/

    I really hope you were being sarcastic here...

  15. Re:What about the presumption of innocence? on Arizona "Papers, Please" Law May Hit Tech Workers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because in this case bringing your US drivers license isn't enough for a H1-B immigrant, you'll need your passport and visa plus documentation. Bringing that all the time is quite a hassle, not to mention annoying if for example you go barhopping and lose the damn papers.

    Good point, as long as you don't need to enter your credit card number, most people will reason what's the harm of clicking OK?

    First of all it speaks for itself that you reacted AC. Second, as far as I know, nobody is forcing churches to perform same sex marriages, what's being prevented are same sex marriages conducted by city-hall. It is also not being the norm to be a vegetarian, why not put a ban on that too? I mean, allowing people not to eat meat is bound to escalate to cannibalism and what not...

  19. Re:Anybody here? on Insomniacs, the Phantoms of the Internet · · Score: 1

    Where I work both is not acceptable, people need to be accessible for other people (in person, not by email) during normal hour, which are loosely defined as 10AM to 4PM.

    hmm same reason I sometimes like to work in the weekend, nobody asking annoying questions or need help doing trivial things, just quiet time to be productive.

    Consumer electronics are cheaper in the states, so you can't compare like that. What ships for $1000 often costs EU 1000 (=$1450!) or even more in Europe.

  24. Re:They forgot one on The 9 Most Tested Lab Animals · · Score: 1

    Well, we DO test mentally retarded people, we subject them to the horrors of I.Q. tests and whatnot, much like we subject those chimps to similar tests. I think the kind of testing done here is vitally import. Tests done on primate will mostly be of the behaviour / learning kind, not the kind where "let's inject this tumor in the brain and see of medicine X cures it", which IS done in mice.

    As mentioned above this list is horribly bad and prejudiced. I would say that in medical research the most used animals are: Fruitfly, C. elegans, Zebrafish, Mouse, Rat, Rabbit, Chicken, and far fewer labs using: chimps, flatworms (increasing popularity in stem cell research), xenopus (frogs; used to be popular in developmental biology, mostly replaced by zebrafish now), dogs and pigs.
