  1. Re:Wait a minute here... on Early Plants May Have Caused Massive Glaciation · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They're two sides of the same problem, on one hand we're moving more CO2 from the ground to the atmosphere and on the other we're reducing nature's ability to put it back (at the very least, when rainforests are cleared and the trees are burned), but you can't put the blame on one factor and not the other - and if you try you'll find that it's much harder to squeeze the blame onto deforestation.

    We need to get the DNA of these plants and reanimate them ASAP!

    Great username/post combo!

    I thought they all thought it was symbolic and the "eat their own god" thing was a known joke. Catholics actually believe the wine and bread literally become the flesh of Jesus? 8-(

    And I mean it's easy to disprove too, you can check feces for human flesh right?

    Hell, Bush was fluent in Spanish.

    Maybe he should have delivered his speeches in Spanish instead of English then :-P

    Nobody wants to start chucking the corruption grenade around. It might bounce back and bite them.

    I think a better analogy is "nobody wants to set anyone on fire when everyone's wearing dynamite vests."

  10. Re:Even terrorists wouldn't release this on Science Panel Recommends Censoring Bird Flu Papers · · Score: 1

    Since they'd kill their own people and snuff out their cause.

    Yeah, that's why they never suicide bomb their own neighborhoods or taunt superpowers into invading their countries OH WAIT

  11. Re:The current security craze... on Science Panel Recommends Censoring Bird Flu Papers · · Score: 2

    Worse yet, from what I understand enough information has leaked out so that anyone with the right education can already do this without too much difficulty, so trying to censor it is just whipping up the Streissand Effect.

  12. Re:Interesting parallel to I.T. on Science Panel Recommends Censoring Bird Flu Papers · · Score: 1

    True but you can still have much stronger defenses on a computer. A person is like a computer with a ton of ports open to known-vulnerable services that relies entirely on IDS and antivirus to prevent a complete rooting.

    Or to look at it another way, a properly locked-down computer is like a person in a hazmat suit - except that to the computer it isn't a massive PITA.

  13. Re:We can already read minds. on Computer Program Reconstructs Heard Words From Brain Scans · · Score: 2

    Apparently that was supposed to be released onto the market in 2008, but there's no news of it since then. Looks like it's vaporware :-(

    Yeah it was some 13-year-olds in an IRC chat room having fun with them, as usual...

  17. Re:What Disgusting Moderation on DHS Sends Tourists Home Over Twitter Jokes · · Score: 1

    That sounds nice but keep in mind that the average Mexican trying to immigrate faces what is, for them, insanely high costs and a waiting list that is only one decade long if they're lucky, so the legal option isn't really an option for most.

  18. Re:Zeig Heil on DHS Sends Tourists Home Over Twitter Jokes · · Score: 1

    You have to wonder why anyone "heard" them? I suspect they were not as milk-toast innocent as
    they are made out to be, and were being followed for other reasons.

    LOL please, more likely the US' search bots picked up their joke and flagged them as potential terrorists.

    That's pretty bad. Those guys haven't had a hit since Day-Glo Reeboks were still in style.

    It was a simpler time. Maybe not a better time, but sort of a more fun time. Everybody looked like children's cartoon characters and drove blocky cars while listening to awful music. Gangsters wore festive, colorful uniforms and were shot dead by angry, mustachioed men.

    No you misunderstand me entirely. I think most of the opposition has a problem because they speak a different language and don't conform to WASP culture, and that skin color is likely a factor as well.

    What makes the problem worse is that the Mexican government actively encourages its citizens to illegally enter the U.S. as a pressure valve to release societal unrest over its policies that make advancement difiicult for many members of its society.

    But how is this possible, Mexico has such light regulation, it should surely be a utopian land of opportunity devoid of sprawling slums!?
