  10. What's this about water soluble ships? on Researchers Build Water Soluble Chips · · Score: 2

    What? Oh, never mind.

  11. Tabloid Content? on McAfee Is Doing a Live Broadcast Tonight · · Score: 1

    I'm starting to not find this whacko's bizarre behavior interesting. It has nothing to do with technology, just someone with too much money and time on his hands.

  12. New Zealand? Intelligence Agency? on Dotcom Drags NZ Spook Agency Into Court · · Score: 0

    Why does a peaceful, isolated little country need an intelligence agency?

    Instead of oil use liquid sodium! It would be way more efficient!

  21. Re:Good luck with that on European Central Bank Casts Wary Eye Toward Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    How very naive to think that businesses all operate 100% out in the open and on the books.

    I recall a law like that in the past. It was called Prohibition. Turned whole populations into criminals until they repealed it.
