  1. Re:Thirty Percent Cut? on Facebook To Make Facebook Credits Mandatory For Games · · Score: 1

    I agree. Plus companies like Zynga can just say no thanks and launch their own site.

  2. Why a dress? on Universities Collaborate On Air-Purifying Dress · · Score: 1

    Why not a dress shirt for my smelly co-workers?!

  3. it's a good thing Obama on Assange Could Face Execution Or Guantanamo Bay · · Score: 1

    shut down Git bay 2 years ago like he said he would. Oh wait! But seriously what US law did he break? Good PR by his lawyers though. Since he could face the death penalty the Euro rules say that he can't be extradited. Time to top up the retainer.

  4. Re:Sweet on Mac App Store Apps Already Hacked · · Score: 1

    I said what I meant. Last time I checked Apple sold computers.

  5. Sweet on Mac App Store Apps Already Hacked · · Score: 1, Funny

    it's about time hackers switched to apple. Leave use PC guys alone.

  6. Re:I think it's good either way on String Theory Tested, Fails Black Hole Predictions · · Score: 3

  7. Re:Then we do need to raise the Titanic. on Iron-Eating Bug Is Gobbling Up the Titanic · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our iron-eating-radiation-absorbing overlords!

  8. Contact Subaru on Looking To Better Engines Instead of Electric Vehicles · · Score: 1

    They have been making horizontally opposed/boxer engines for decades. The article fails to distinguish the difference between the opoc and a regular boxer engine.

  9. On the subject on Is the ISS Really Worth $100 Billion? · · Score: 1

    was TARP worth $700+ Billion? I'd say the space program was a better ROI.

  10. Congratulations Lockheed! on HULC Robotic Exoskeleton MK II Undergoing Tests · · Score: 1

    You've created a hydraulic version of an obese person. Our tax dollars at work people! ~:-)B

  11. Wireless HDMI on Wireless HDMI At 1080p, Lag-Free WHDI Tested · · Score: 1

    Sweet! Now I can see what me neighbour is watching.

  12. Human nature on 1928 Time Traveler Caught On Film? · · Score: 1

    It is part of human nature to see patterns in randomness. We see someone talking with their hand to their ear, and we automatically think, cell phone. In the 1928, they would have thought, mental patient. For all we know this person is heading to the doctor because of an ear ache. As others have pointed out, there are no cell phone towers. If I must defy logic, then I would say this person is talking to their mothership, and telling them it's too soon to cause the stock market to crash. Give it a year.

  13. Easy fix on Real Reason Why the White iPhone 4 Is Delayed · · Score: 1

    I fail to see the issue. All Apple has to say is that black is the new white and everyone will buy black. Problem solved. Apple has made tech fashionable.

  14. I think I have a new gene on Researchers Find a 'Liberal Gene' · · Score: 1

    it's call the BS gene, and it's going wild right now.

  15. You can all thank me for this drive on WD Launches 3 Terabyte HD · · Score: 1

    As, I bought a 2TB WD Green on Saturday. ~:-) Couldn't help myself it was down to $99.99 (memory express).

  16. This is a great idea! on Facebook Introduces One-Time Passwords · · Score: 1

    Giving the fantastic privacy discipline of FB.

  17. Mine is better on Proving 0.999... Is Equal To 1 · · Score: 1

    16/64 cross out the 6s and you get 1/4. Or Pi is exactly 3!

  19. Sharks on Paper-Thin Batteries Provide Bendable Power · · Score: 1

    Sweet! Now I have the much needed power supply for the lasers. Time to break out the duct tape.

  20. False claim (correction below) on LHC Spies Hints of Infant Universe · · Score: 0

    It's turns out that the hot dense matter observed was in fact a picture of Paris Hilton.

  21. Bad experience for all on Airbus Planning Transparent Planes · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you but most of my flights are during the day. Having the sun in my face for 2-4 hours at a time is not something I would enjoy... unless of course I could lay back and work on my tan in my speedos. Which is something the other passengers will not enjoy. ~:-)B

  22. Pi is exactly... on Nicholas Sze of Yahoo Finds Two-Quadrillionth Digit of Pi · · Score: 1

    3!

  23. My old phone already do this! on Intel CTO Says Future Phones Will Sense Your Mood · · Score: 1

    My phone is 4 years old. Every time I am upset and throw it at the wall, it sense my displeasure and shut off. ~:-)B

  24. Hopefully, it will not matter (OT-ish) on Scientists Cut Greenland Ice Loss Estimate By Half · · Score: 1

    The wold population should start declining soon. Most developed countries have declining birth rates. Japan & Russia lead the way. China has it's one child per couple policy. Population growth in North America is due to immigration. I believe this is the same case in Europe. At some point we will hit a population maximum, then start to decline. I think the best marker for the environment is new species vs extinction of old species. If we start seeing a decline in species in non-human area, then I would be worried. Until then, I'd guess that planet would be able to adjust and maintain the dynamic equilibrium. Don't forget that all it would take is one pandemic to wipe out a significant portion of the human population (thanks in part to cheap air travel). Bacteria & viruses adapt, just like we (and our immune) do.

  25. There is no issue here on AT&T Says Net Rules Must Allow 'Paid Prioritization' · · Score: 1

    If AT&T wants to charge more for a tiered system, then let them. Anyone who doesn't like will leave. They will obviously say you can't leave without some penalty. However, buy changing the service they are effectively opening everyone's contract. When enough people leave that it hurts their bottom line, they will switch back.
