  1. That's nothing on Ubuntu Aims For 200 Million Users In Four Years · · Score: 1

    I'd be far more impressed with 4 users in 200 million years.

  2. "Sites guilty of hijacking history"? on Sites Guilty of Hijacking History · · Score: 2

    Have we finally found out where in the world/time/on earth is Carmen Sandiego?

  3. Familiar on Neal Stephenson Unveils His Digital Novel Platform · · Score: 1

    X-Book Live anyone?

    The social sphere has been the key to ensuring gaming has kept/out pace(d) other media, and with the rate other sites are integrating social media, entangling books with the rest of the digital web sounds like the next step for the medium.

    The sole convinence of eBooks is that fact that my cellular device is capable of recalling them in mere seconds and can be easily stowed, which make reading in the elevator/doing vague leasure activity/driving at high speeds a lot more convinent. Actually doing something else with these bits of code sounds fine by me.

  4. Boy Scouts Win on Cambered Tires Can Improve Fuel Economy · · Score: 1

    Pinewood derby physics anyone? Boyscouts have known this for years. Pinewood Derby is mostly a matter of reducing friction rolling down the track. The camber of the tires reduces the contact with the track and thus friction. For that matter, angling one of your axles so that one tire doesn't quite make contact with the track is another. So, just replace all your tires with roadbike tires and watch the blow outs and gas mileage savings pile up.

  5. Ho-Hum on Microbes Churn Out Hydrogen at Record Rate · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If we can manipulate microbes to produce hydrogen in record amounts, can we manipulate some that take IN CO2 in impacting amounts as well?

  6. Putin on Russia Honors the Spy Who Stole the A-Bomb · · Score: 1

    Someone mod Putin -1 for flaming.
