  1. Re:"beams of electricity"? on Fighting Fires With Beams of Electricity · · Score: 1

    No, protons baby! Using those has certain... fringe benefits.

    Like that they could yell, "fire the proton torpedoes!" when they get to the emergency?

  2. Re:Nothing but respect... on Heroism Is Part of a Nuclear Worker's Job · · Score: 1

    Actually, things have been getting progressively better for the last two days. Radiation levels are down, they have visually confirmed there is cooling water in No.4 reactors pool for spent fuel and more has been successfully added. However, for some reason, you don't seem to see those news under big headlines in the media ...

    Sources please? In today's media, it's hard to find the good news.

  3. Re:Shutting down nuke plants is a bit foolish on Further Updates On Post-Tsumami Japan · · Score: 1

    >>>oil/coal becomes scarce and as expensive as silver?

    That would be ~$160,000 per barrel. I suppose oil will never reach that high.

    Is that by weight or by volume?

  4. Re:One of the five basic tsu-tastes on Further Updates On Post-Tsumami Japan · · Score: 1

    Tsumami as opposed to tsusweet, tsusalty, tsusour, and tsubitter.

    I'm sure many people are feeling quite tsusour at the moment. You might even say they are tsubitter about it. ;-)
    Sorry, I couldn't resist

  5. Re:why would I pay for news? on NYTimes Unveils Online Subscription Plan · · Score: 1

    Umm.... What kind of cars are you buying? Get a car from a decent make, and it'll last a lot longer than 5 years. They're priced competitively, and usually, you get better savings on gas mileage to. You use the example of GM, but if your estimates are correct about engine life, they're the outlier among vehicles.

    Unfortunately, it's really 2015-3-14. If prefere e day: 2718-2-8

    Unfortunately, I don't have 700 hundred years to spare, so I'll accept messing with date formats to get to celebrate.

  7. Re:Open Source? So that means we can fork him? on Man Open Sources His Genetic Data · · Score: 1

    Can we upgrade our calcium bones to a stronger metal?

    How about, just to any metal?

  8. Re:I was here first on Man Open Sources His Genetic Data · · Score: 2

    I've been offering my DNA samples for at least 20 years now.

    Propositioning someone is not the same as open sourcing you DNA sequence ;-)

  9. Re:We are one step closer on Alcatel-Lucent Shrinks Mobile Cell Tower To Small Cube · · Score: 1

    Ok, mayhap my geek card needs to be revoked, but what sketch is this from?

  10. Re:You say 'when', but.... on More Trouble Expected When Egypt Comes Back Online · · Score: 1

    How do you propose the Amish get there? Horse-drawn jetliner?
