  1. Re:Anthropomorphic bacteria on The Effect of Internal Bacteria On the Human Body · · Score: 1

    Welp, that's my lesson on not responding to ACs, I guess. Right after this one, of course. If you can't understand the basic concept of antibiotics in chemtrails, then good day to you, sir.

  2. Re:Anthropomorphic bacteria on The Effect of Internal Bacteria On the Human Body · · Score: 1

    Nope, it was the usual advances that got us up to about 100. Obviously antibiotics are recent and they are what has been keeping the life extension singularity from happening.

  3. Re:Anthropomorphic bacteria on The Effect of Internal Bacteria On the Human Body · · Score: 1

    If true, would antibiotics really necessarily kill us routinely, or would the effect maybe be more subtle, like limiting us to around a hundred years?

  4. single volume compact edition on Oxford Dictionary Considers Going Online Only · · Score: 1

    There is a single volume compact edition available for $400.

  5. Networked displays on Burning Man Goes Open Source For Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    It would be interesting to use the network to coordinate light and fire displays across the playa.

  6. Fusion Centers on States Launch Joint Probe of Google Wi-Fi Snooping · · Score: 1

    The states just want the technology for the spying activities of the various fusion centers.

  7. Re:hmm on SEC Proposes Wall Street Transparency Via Python · · Score: 1

    Is a functional programming language any more inherently reliable since you are trusting the compiler anyways? Does it effectively matter if the code can be "provably without side-effects" if you are trusting the implementation via a black box on a different level? Honest question from a noob.

  8. Simple, use pigeons on Life Recorder · · Score: 1

    Then perhaps some sort of failsafe involving IP over Avian Carriers is in order.

  9. 555 timer projects and the Arduino on Where To Start In DIY Electronics? · · Score: 1

    Do basic 555 timer projects to learn how to make LEDs flash, tones, bounceless switches, etc. Also, get an Arduino. It takes very little time and not so many parts to get from Cool Idea to Thing that Works.

  10. Re:There's military intelligence for you on US Military Shuts Down CIA's Terrorist Honey Pot · · Score: 1

    Isn't the idea to identify and track them? It doesn't matter that they visit other jihadi sites as long as they also visit the honeypot site.

  11. surprised on Ginkgo Doesn't Improve Memory Or Cognitive Skills · · Score: 1

    I'm a little surprised at all the knee-jerk support of big pharma on slashdot.

  12. But she's blind... on Gene Therapy Causes Blind Woman To Grow New Fovea · · Score: 1

    But she's blind, not infertile.

  13. something like scribd? on Inside the AP's Plan To Security-Wrap Its News Content · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's going to be at least as annoying as scribd, isn't it? Some sort of annoying flash thing that keeps people from copying text? Maybe the efforts of those captcha hackers can be redirected.

  14. So.... on The Rocky Road To Wind Power · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So wind power is doomed because a few truck drivers don't know their shit? Come on.

  15. meta meta on How Common Is Scientific Misconduct? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh yeah? Well, I'm going to do a meta-meta-analysis to see how common meta-analyses are fraudulently conducted.

  16. inaccurately called wireless? on Baby Monitors Killing Urban Wi-Fi · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How is it inaccurate to call it "wireless" if, in fact, no wires are used to transmit signals? What in the world do you propose?

  17. Re:H1N1 A flu, please on Swine Flu Genetics Suggest a Vaccine Is Possible · · Score: 1

    right, so much harm.

  18. Before you freak out... on Time To Cut the Ethernet Cable? · · Score: 1

    It's a regional usage.

  19. Re:Lots o' power on Energy-Beaming Space Collector To Also Alter Weather? · · Score: 1

    I don't know, Coast Guard?

  20. Re:A Setback for Israeli-Palestinian Peace Efforts on Rep. Jane Harman Focus In Yet Another Warrantless Wiretap Scandal · · Score: 1

    It's possible that Rep. Harman suspected she was speaking to a robot and tried to do what worked so often in ST:TOS: speaking aloud a contradiction to make the robot's head explode.

  21. Re:Lack of font? Design your own! on A Secure OS For the Dalai Lama? · · Score: 1

    More complicated than Arabic fonts that have to deal with initial, medial, and final forms? Probably not by much.

  22. Re:Nerds end wars faster than soldiers on How Do Militaries Treat Their Nerds? · · Score: 1

    You seem to be forgetting the part where he was discarded after the war and hounded into committing suicide. He was "pushed away" as soon as he profitably could have been.

  23. Re:Ignorance is diverse as well as widespread on US Adults Fail Basic Science Literacy · · Score: 1

    so, a bit of anecdotal evidence to counter claims usually based on anecdotal evidence?

  24. Nuclear Laptops on US Nuclear Weapons Lab Loses 67 Computers · · Score: 1

    I bet you can go a really long time without recharging those.

  25. Re:Did anyone else read it as.. on Hackable Microcontroller-Powered Valentine's Card · · Score: 1

    Here's some info to get you started on that project: http://www.solomonweil.com/mindcontrol/
