    enough to make 17,000 nuclear bombs

    OK, so the UK could deliver entire buildings to Mars.
  2. Re:For a second, I thought this guy was Hitler on Ken Levine Defends Lair's Control Scheme · · Score: 1

    Hell, anyone who could defend the control scheme of Dragon's Lair, probably eats puppies for breakfast.

    ON switch for stove under puppies' cage flashes white.

    Look, that guy's carrying a stolen laptop as if he owned it! Call the cops!

  5. Re:How "scaled up" is this? on Photonic Laser Thruster Promises Earth to Mars in a Week · · Score: 1

    Yes, it is much better to lock up the fissionables in a reactor's containment vessel than to leave them in the environment or burning coal to release them. "Fly, little uranium, I set you free! Go far, radium!"

  6. Re:How "scaled up" is this? on Photonic Laser Thruster Promises Earth to Mars in a Week · · Score: 1

    At the moment I just want us to be ready for the Kzin.

    "If you don't mind going through the Sun..." OK, you've just toppled the people worried about heat from the drive.

  8. Re:To me, the really sad thing is... on After 10,000 Years, Farming No Longer Dominates · · Score: 1

    Actually, you can eat ethanol if you freeze it.
    Most people drink it instead of eating it.

  9. Re:To me, the really sad thing is... on After 10,000 Years, Farming No Longer Dominates · · Score: 1

    Check your assumptions. World population growth is reducing and reversing. In many countries the population is increasing only due to immigration.

  10. Re:To me, the really sad thing is... on After 10,000 Years, Farming No Longer Dominates · · Score: 1

    But in Zimbabwe, the land which was being farmed is still open land. It simply isn't being used for anything since the government took over the industry and made it impossible to remain a farmer.

  11. Re:Across Irvine and San Diego? on U of CA Constructs 220 Million Pixel Display · · Score: 1

    Whether the screen is in Irvine or San Diego, it must be pretty big if they can also see it in the other city. Or is it on a mountain top between the two cities? And as the previous poster insightfully observed, which city is the remote in? And the really important question: Satellite or cable?

  12. Everybody dance! on Secrecy of Voting Machines Ballots At Risk · · Score: 1

    And then voter B who voted quickly has to linger 3 more minutes so the videotape shows him still leaving after voter A, thus voter B was able to confuse A and B's voting. And B has to hope when his boss later checks that B voted the right way, that A voted the way that B's boss demands B vote.

  13. I don't agree with you on Secrecy of Voting Machines Ballots At Risk · · Score: 1

    Well, you don't see the "-1 I don't agree with you" but I voted for the right guy and he gave me the button. There goes your karma.

  14. Identification of ballots in the UK on Secrecy of Voting Machines Ballots At Risk · · Score: 1

    There is no way to connect the voter's votes to the sequential numbers on the ballots.
    Unless their union supervisor is the person ahead or behind them, and he records his ballot number so he knows the numbers of those ahead or behind him in line.

  15. Re:Why timestamps on Secrecy of Voting Machines Ballots At Risk · · Score: 1
    I agree, we shouldn't have to vote on a gazillion things at once.

  16. Can they top this? on Interstellar Dust Could Be "Alive" · · Score: 1

    But can those intelligences create glowing balls of plasma and organize them into interesting patterns? Like advertisements, text messages, display of a galaxy...oh, wait. Never mind.

  18. Not a very random blogger on Blogger Finds Bug in NASA Global Warming Study? · · Score: 5, Informative
    If you didn't find enough info in that article, try the links here.

    It wasn't a random blogger, it was Steve McIntyre, a statistician whose attention was drawn to an oddity in the data for an official temperature station next to some air conditioners.

  20. Finally, a solution is in sight on Optical Solution For an NP-Complete Problem? · · Score: 1

    Finally someone will shine some light on this problem. Unfortunately, the answer is only "a photon". I hope it tells you which photon and the path.

    Or was this bank also making investments and issuing loans so it was getting income with which to pay the interest?
