  1. WASTE on DOE Pumps $126.6 Million Into Carbon Sequestration · · Score: 1

    What a waste of money! Laughable.

  2. Re:Very Generous on EA Launches 'Hostile' Bid for GTA Publisher · · Score: 1

    Yeah, if EA buys out Take Two it will really be the beginning of the end for that franchise. Although, to be quite honest, them removing planes already was a huge step back. I don't think the game will be delayed because it's pretty much ready though. Estepona Apartments

  3. Don't believe in astrology? on Should Scientists Date People Who Believe Astrology? · · Score: 1

    Check out peteranswers.com That's sure to freak you out. Took me a while to get him to answer, but when you're with a group of people and he starts answering then come back here and start talking.

  4. Actually on US Claims Satellite Shoot-Down Success · · Score: 1

    Actually it's like hitting a satellite with a missile. Every satellite can be downed very quickly and reltively inexpensively which is worrysome. I'm pretty sure Russia can't even be bothered to try because it's so easy and a waste of resources. IMO The reason for the US doing this is threefold: 1) They wanted to show China they can do it easily and from ships. All they did is reprogram 3 missiles the already had (scary scary). First one hit so they have 2 anti satellite missiles just waiting for a target... 2) They didn't want their technology to crash land somewhere and end up in the wrong hands. 3) (this is the only one I'm not sure of) They didn't want their toxic fuel landing on the planet in one big load.

  5. Re:I doubt THEY really discovered it on High School Sophomores Discover Asteroid · · Score: 1

    You call searching for asteroids with a telescope science? Singles Benalmadena

  6. Re:boring on Assassin's Creed And the Future of Sandbox Games · · Score: 1

    Open ended is the way to go. GTA is a great example of how great open ended is. Assasin's creed is terrible. So much potential yet they built half a game then just copied and pasted the same quests. Had they put as much emphasis on story and quests as GTA, Assisins Creed would have been a superb game instead of the borefest it is. Fiestas Benalmadena

  7. Re:Good news for paraplegic mice! on Scientists Restore Walking After Spinal Cord Injury · · Score: 1

    About time they started making progress on this. Too many people are wheelchair bound because of spinal cord injuries. High time progress is made on this front. Might not be very lucrative to fix spinal cords but the benefits for humanity surely outweight the money wheelchair makers will lose. Plots Sotogrande

  8. Re:Silenced? Censorship? on Egyptian Blogger Silenced by YouTube, Yahoo! · · Score: 1

    Censorship is everywhere. Governments usually decide what is ok and what is not and media usually tries to stay within legal confines. Yahoo can take down any video they want. Injustices can be pointed out by media as long as they are within the confines of what the government/big business dictates. Let's also keep in mind that morality is very subjective. In Sudan a british teacher who allowed a student to name her doll Mohammed is being jailed for 15 days while Sudanese Islamists ask for her death. A french singer who murdered his girlfriend has recently been released from prison after just 3 years because "the people" felt he'd done his time and wanted him back in the music scene. Yes both of these cases are extreme but it's an example of how relative morals can be. My Blog

  9. Re:S.E.T.I on Is SETI Worth It? · · Score: 1

    Apparently those who have tried it say that human meat is the best tasting meat. The aliens planted on this planet knowing we would multiply to the billions in a short period of time and then they will come and harvest their crop. They even planted different varieties of humans around or do you really believe that human's co-evolved around the planet and spread without boats? Seti is a waste of time. Alien communications that reach here won't be in radiowaves and if they are they will distort. Costa del Sol Conspiracy Blog

  10. Boom on First New Nuclear Plant in US in 30 years · · Score: 1

    Can this type of powerplant actually blow up and cause a nuclear explosion? I'm not sure if it's possible. I think the real dangers of modern powerplants is the pollution although I'm also certain that they can deal with that now.

    I agree that it makes more sense to have decentralised power sources in case of war/attacks. Personally I'm a fan of solar panels although they are extremely expensive.

  11. Re:Finnish salaries, before and after taxes on Annual IT Salary Survey Finds Dissatisfaction · · Score: 1

    In Spain IT work is shockingly underpaid. In southern Spain your avg programmer gets 1500-2000 per month takehome (and that's on the upper end). In the industrial zone in Malaga all IT people get 900 euros a month take home a month. If you're an IT professional stay away from southern Spain at all costs. Life here is great but the pay stinks. I'm not quite sure what the Spanish goverment is up to. We also have an extra tax here on hardware. Hardware has an additional 26% tax that the government takes. As you can imagine this results in the most expensive hardware market probably in the world. If you want to build your own PC here it costs you more than 2x what it would in the US. Also this creates a stagnant hardware sector where new processors, flat screens etc take forever to come to the market and selection is extremely limited. Thumbs down to the Spanish goverment - and I'm Spanish. Poker Site Reviews

  12. Re:Universe ever expanding and recreating? on Astronomers Find Stars 7 Billion Light Years Away · · Score: 1

    Something infinite can have a centre?

    Are we sure that a trillion light years away there's nothing?

    Maybe it's reassuring to think the earth is relatively near the centre of the universe.
