  1. Re: More likely on Majority of Young American Adults Think Astrology Is a Science · · Score: 1

    You might be onto something here. When I read the summary I mixed those two up. (I'm not a native English speaker, but still it's not an excuse). When I got to the end of summary, thought to myself... Astronomy... And realised the text was about horoscopes.

  2. Re:Fucking ground this fleet. on World's Largest Passenger Plane May Be Unsafe, Some Say · · Score: 1

    sorry, apparently this was a failed joke. Actually I'm in europe, but google still creates a bubble for me... I just recently tried the experiment with some friends, and I got really annoyed about the results being so different. PS: googling 'Qantas grounding' gives indeed articles about Qantas grounding, just they probably are different articles

    But my filter bubble doesn't let me see your results :(

  4. Re:RSS as Fair Use on AP and 28 News Groups To Collect Fees From Aggregators · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I'm not american so I might be a little out of loop... Which war is exactly going on? WW2.5? I haven't heard of any declaration of war between any countries. But I think in 10-15 years history books(probably non-american) will tell that this war you are talking about is/was ww3.

  5. Re:Get over it on How Is Technology Changing the Brain? · · Score: 1

    Get over it grammar nazi... Not everyone's native language is English, and those seemed to be common typos probably because of speed typing and a browser without a spell checker

  6. Re:Not prior art on Apple Patents Portrait-Landscape Flipping · · Score: 1

    Since when is holding a finger against the screen a gesture? Or is any input operation on a touchscreen device a gesture? Basically this is a shortcut to temporarily disabling the whatever orientation sensor the device might have. Why does it matter if this shortcut is operated by a real button or a virtual button? PS. i think patents are crap.

  7. Re:They came first for the perverts... on Amazon Censorship Expands · · Score: 1

    So if I had a kindle and live in Europe and bought a book which they have the right to sell in Europe but not in US. Does that mean when I move to US, they would delete it from my device?

  8. Re: Go electronic! on Banknotes Go Electronic To Outwit Counterfeiters · · Score: 1

    Why do we still carry money anyway?

    For anonymous transactions. This puts that concept at risk.

    You may have noticed, but there are places where you can't pay with a card. Mostly at the countryside.

  9. In other news on Student Googles Himself, Finds He's Accused of Murder · · Score: 1
    In other news..

    Garcia and his mother tell us that she is interested in getting all the references on the internet moved from the World Wide Web so nobody gets the wrong idea again.

    I don't think this is really possible to remove the entryes but then again who am I to know.

  10. Re:Gold is pretty much worthless outside earth. on NASA Strikes Gold and Water On the Moon · · Score: 1

    I've heard that gold makes a fine shield material against cosmic rays. I'd say that makes it quite useful metal, when it helps to keep you alive.

  11. Re:this is my dream too on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: 1

    Have you considered taking the bus?

    it's rather impossible to sleep while standing

  12. Re:Buying rights with the purpose to sue! on Senate Candidate Sued By Copyright Troll · · Score: 1

    If they didn't send a takedown notice, and TFA didn't mention it, they are trolls in my eyes.

    from http://www.righthavenlawsuits.com/

    Righthaven LLC is owned 50/50 by two limited liability companies. The first is Net Sortie Systems, LLC, which is owned by Las Vegas attorney Steven Gibson – the Nevada attorney who is behind all of the lawsuits filed by Righthaven. The second is SI Content Monitor LLC, which is owned by family members of investment banking billionaire Warren Stephens whose investments include Stephens Media, LLC which owns the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

    It looks to me that Review-Journal is part of this troll-scheme.

  14. Re:And the largest solar power plant currently is. on Nuclear Energy Now More Expensive Than Solar · · Score: 1

    skyrocketing price of nuclear power

    Could anyone please explain why is the price skyrocketing? Things usually get cheaper when produced in greater quantities

  15. aliens... on The Scream Aliens Hear From the Earth · · Score: 1

    Aliens on another planet: Can you hear the noise that planet is making? - Yeah, sounds dangerous, we should blast it. Hmm, as I recall a highway bypass is needed in that part of the galaxy... I'll get right on it!

    well, if you look more closely, you would notice that the articles have the same author!
