  1. Killing time? on FBI Target Puts His Life Online · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sounds to me like he's just made it into some wierd pseudo-hobby. I don't think I could ever be that comfortable posting my every move.

  2. If you're researching a subject.. on Does Wikipedia Suck on Science Stories? · · Score: 1

    complex enough to have to be written in language that the layman can't understand, you probably aren't a layman yourself and will understand the information anyway.

  3. Re:What the hell... on NASA's Atlantis Ready For June 8 Launch · · Score: 1

    And FTA the orange color of the fuel tank isn't from a man-made process, but rather the effect is caused by UV light hitting the chemically unique foam over time. Sorta like us getting a tan while being out in the sun.

  4. Oldest pictures of the universe on NASA Unveils Hubble's Successor · · Score: 2, Informative

    As radiation travels from distant stars and passes through obstacles, gravitational lensing, dust clouds, etc., it loses energy and thus frequency eventually turning radiation from the gamma/x-ray spectrum into visible light then into infrared light. This new telescope will help us by giving us insights to some of the conditions that would be found very early on in the universe. Hubble and other similar land-based telescopes can't give us that insight because of not showing the infrared, the oldest information.

  5. Re:Doesn't have to be 'hell' on Where to Go After a Lifetime in IT? · · Score: 1

    He's right. I left a career in IT, worked in a few office environments and then started..wait for it..janitorial. You don't have to really be passionate about what you do if it only takes 10-15 hours a week and pays almost quadruple what you ever made in the IT business.

  6. Re:I'm guessing not a family car.. on Zero-60 in 3.1 Seconds, Batteries Included · · Score: 1

    F1 cars generally don't seat families of four, including children..

  7. I'm guessing not a family car.. on Zero-60 in 3.1 Seconds, Batteries Included · · Score: 1

    Because of it's nature, this type of car would have to be made out of very lightweight materials, and even then, panels as thin as possible. Seeing that the majority of car sells are in the sedan/family models, it wouldn't be reasonable for auto manufacturers to market and produce a car like this - that won't be very safe and crash survivable - on a large scale.
