  1. Great technology on Mending Hearts With Light-Activated Glue · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This should help a lot of people. It's too bad that many patients will still credit God with the success of their procedure.

  2. Uncertainty on First Survey of Commercially Viable Asteroids Estimates Only 10 Are Worth Mining · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This kind of estimating may have an order of magnitude error. So it could easily be only 1 asteroid worth mining. Let the asteroid war begin!

  3. Re:A legal question on Carmakers Keep Data On Drivers' Locations From Navigation Systems · · Score: 1

    If they're accused of a crime they can pretty much use anything to prove their guilt. This would be no different.

  4. Re:CES? on CES 2014: There's a 'Pre-Show' Before the Consumer Electronics Show (Video) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Would you pay for that? Then no.

  5. Re:Facebook is the worst on Should Facebook 'Likes' Count As Commercial Endorsements? · · Score: 2

    The whole 'internet' thing is just a fad too.

  6. Re:No sympathy here on Surge In Online Orders Overwhelms UPS Christmas Deliveries · · Score: 1

    But if you're told you can order 2 days before and still have it delivered on time, shouldn't you believe them?

    no

  7. Need 150,000 pounds of Raisin Bran on Enormous Tunneling Machine 'Bertha' Blocked By 'The Object' · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...and eight tanker trucks of coffee. That ought to do it.

  8. Re:Oily rags on Tesla Says Garage Fire Not Charger's Fault; Firemen Less Sure · · Score: 5, Funny

    I always keep my linseed oil soaked rags piled up together in a nice dry place covered in sawdust.

  9. Re:OK Bill, Your Move on Mark Zuckerberg Gives $990 Million To Charity · · Score: 1

    I'm willing to bet they vastly dwarf most people even if you adjust it for their net worth or earnings or what have you. He's done some incredible charitable work. He got a tax benefit just like everyone else who donates.

  10. Re:Internet filter does not work, news at 11 on UK ISP Adult Filters Block Sex Education Websites Allows Access To Porn · · Score: 1

    There are many problems with the politicians. One of them is that many are just plain stupid. I wouldn't recommend IQ tests but something like a comprehensive test covering political history, the political system, ethics, international politics, business, taxation, etc.

  11. Re: What will Cameron do then? on UK ISP Adult Filters Block Sex Education Websites Allows Access To Porn · · Score: 1

    As weird as some porn tends to get, the mainstream stuff is very good educational material. My niece asked her mother, after hearing about what parts go where, "but don't the legs get in the way?" So at some point it is very educational to see a little porn and go "ah, well now it all makes sense."

  12. Re:Dune on Why Charles Stross Wants Bitcoin To Die In a Fire · · Score: 1

    That it is a work of fiction never seems to stop people from quoting the bible.

  13. Mulder and Scully aren't buying it on Police Pull Over More Drivers For DNA Tests · · Score: 1

    Hell, even Scully's looking at this thinking "they're frakin up to no good".

  14. I absolutely wasn't joking.

  15. Re:Christmas on NASA Schedules Space Walks to Fix ISS Pumps; Orbital Sciences Launch Delayed · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    You're kidding right? You spend a gazillion dollars sending them up there and they get a day off?

  16. Re:A question about space walks. on NASA Schedules Space Walks to Fix ISS Pumps; Orbital Sciences Launch Delayed · · Score: 1

    Well, the radiation is pretty harmful even if everything goes perfectly to plan, not that it's a whole lot worse than being inside the station.

  17. Re:MisoSMS on Massive Android Mobile Botnet Hijacking SMS Data · · Score: 1

    The permission system itself is flawed. There's no reason for an all-or-nothing approach. Let me install an app and deny it internet access. Please. If the app doesn't like it it can just not run. That way we can put the control in the hands of users while not having any worse security than we have now.

  18. Re:More pharma-financed bullshit coming our way! on Multivitamin Researchers Say 'Case Is Closed' As Studies Find No Health Benefits · · Score: 1

    They didn't have a lot of food but what they had then wasn't grown on industrial agriculture but they could barely afford it and went without .. giving rice to rickets, scorbut and all those deficiency diseases. Now everything is grown on nutrient devoid soils and the meat is jacked up with hormones and antibiotics so we're still not off any better.

    I don't even know where to start with how derpy this is.

  19. Re:NOW we're talking "ubiquitous" and "paperless" on Datawind Not Blowing Smoke: $38 Tablet Coming To the US · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Picture them all with a device made by someone else.

  20. Re:Ungrateful krauts on Amazon Workers Strike In Germany As Christmas Orders Peak · · Score: 1

    The physical appearance of the fine makes no difference.

  21. Re:There's probably patents involved on Standardized Laptop Charger Approved By IEC · · Score: 1

    Manufacturers can put a yank resistant device just outside of the plug.

  22. Re:Why not batteries on Six Electric Cars Can Power an Office Building · · Score: 1

    Finally, another Dvorak user understands the typo problem.

  23. Re:So... on You Are What Your Dad Ate · · Score: 1

    He didn't set anything up. You just told the same joke in a worse fashion.

    This is all that needs to be said about this article.

  25. So I could ship a bank a brand new vault, wait until they fill it up, and then break in. Great idea.
