  1. Re:Molycorp's production is going straight to Japa on California Rare-Earth Mine Reopens · · Score: 1

    If I could, I would grant you points. Consider what we import from Japan versus what we export to them. It is balanced in their favor at the moment.

  2. Re:Molycorp's production is going straight to Japa on California Rare-Earth Mine Reopens · · Score: 2

    Considering the mutual hatred the Japanese and Chinese share toward each other, it's not surprising that the Japanese would want to buy rare earths from us rather than the Chinese. In my narrow view of economics, any time we can export something it's a plus. Our trade deficit hasn't exactly been ideal lately.

    Yeah. Who cares if the 802 stands for February 1980 anyway as long as its the latest and greatest eh?

    Hell yeah man! 12 is clearly better than 4. The marketing guys said so!

    What does this mean for the mass of the Universe? Has the estimated quantity of dark matter been overestimated?

  9. A thought. on SpaceX Gets First Private FAA Space Reentry License · · Score: 1

    Since it's going in the air in the United States, if there were someone to be on board would whomever is on board be subject to TSA screenings?

  10. Re:Here's todays reality: on Obama Says Offshoring Fears Are Unwarranted · · Score: 1

    Good luck dismantling free trade treaties. I agree with you 100% but even talking about getting rid of free trade agreements is a political no-no these days.

  11. Re:As an Ohioan, I'm proud the state banned it on Obama Says Offshoring Fears Are Unwarranted · · Score: 1

    I'm an Ohioan too. But your post is off topic. The majority of your post is just bitching about John Kasich.

    Is that a technical term?

  13. Mythbusters on Giant Lab Replicates Category 3 Hurricanes · · Score: 1

    Wasn't that done by the Mythbusters last week? Only instead of a bunch of fans they used one jet engine. Yay! Efficiency!

  14. hmmmm on AMD's New Radeon HD 6870 and 6850 Cards Debut · · Score: 1

    I thought AMD was dropping the graphics card line?

  15. I like gooooooooold! on NASA Strikes Gold and Water On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Now we need to launch a nuke at the moon to make said gold radioactive for years. Almost worked for Goldfinger.

  16. Re:Extreme one-upmanship? on Boeing 747 Recycled Into a Private Residence · · Score: 1

    That was my first thought when seeing the pictures. It looks as if a plane crashed on top of that hill. It looks terrible in my opinion.

    You clearly don't live within walking distance of the dead zone surrounding a plant that refines lithium. The study is greenwashing.

  23. hmmm on Li-Ion Batteries Get Green Seal of Approval · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Not trolling, but due to the mining, production, added weight to vehicles and disposal of the lithium makes an old muscle car's carbon emissions look appealing versus a hybrid.

  24. Too long. Did not read. on What 'IT' Stuff Should We Teach Ninth-Graders? · · Score: 0

    But to answer the title question: What should be taught to 9th graders is how to use the internet responsibly and not infect a computer. This will, in turn, not piss off their parents (Assuming the parents care).

  25. ahem on ISPs Lie About Broadband "Up To" Speeds · · Score: 1

    "Ars Technica has an article detailing the difference between ISP advertised 'up to x Mbps' speeds and the actual speeds, in addition to some possible solutions. They find that on average, the advertised speeds were 'up to 6.7 Mbps' while the real median was 3 Mbps and the mean was 4 Mbps. This implies that ISPs were falsely advertising by at least 50%."
