  1. Re:not many left on What Happens After the Super-Hero Movie Bubble? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't call Thor the bottom of the barrel, he was one of the original Lee/Kirby creations and just about the most powerful hero in Marvel's universe. When they make a Darkhawk or Blue Beetle flick then we're near the end. p.s. I'd love to see a modern Aquaman movie harpoon hand, beard and all.

  2. Re:Success, not failure on School Super Asks Governor To Make His School District a Prison · · Score: 1

    I agree for the most part but I fail to see the link from the first to second sentences in your second paragraph. Wouldn't that make the crime rate proportional to criminals (integrate for an exponential function), not just those that have been imprisoned. In fact only those that haven't yet been caught would increase crime.

  3. Re:Cultural Identification in Food on Think I'm Not American? Pass the Hamburgers. · · Score: 1

    Speaking of cheese I've got to represent my home town of Monterey and our man Jack (peppers optional).

  4. Re:Ah, the Republican Party ... on Congressman Wants YouTube Video Covered Up · · Score: 1

    I can't figure out the hate people have for the bail-outs. We've already made our money back (plus billions in interest) on the bank bail-outs.

  5. Re:What? No Feathers? on Flying Robot Bird Unveiled · · Score: 2

    I'm not saying you're wrong,but the point of flapping is thrust not lift.

  6. Re:Everyone keeps saying this... on Two-Thirds of US Internet Users Lack Fast Broadband · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up, there is no reason that I shouldn't be able to get a fast reliable connection when I live a few miles from the very heart of the internet in Silicon Valley.

  7. Re:What on BitTorrent Client Offers P2P Without Central Tracking · · Score: 1

    I always figured it was an SI prefix, e.i. 'micro-Torrent'.

  8. preacher character on Lawyer Smokes Pages From the Koran and Bible · · Score: 1

    "What weights more: the Bible or the Bhagavad-Gita? Well worldy scholars and scientists have known for quite some time that the Bible outweighs the Bhagavad-Gita here by a pound to a pound and a half sometimes, outweighs the Talmud sometimes by three to four pounds, outweighs that mighty Koran sometimes by five to ten pounds. You think about that." -Mark

  9. Re:GM Must Be Freaking Right Now on Chevy Volt Not Green Enough For California · · Score: 1

    That's to bad, because it's more "green" to drive a plug-in in CA than much of the rest of the country, seeing as they aren't coal powered at that point.

  10. Re:Analogue vs Digital on Pixel Inventor Goes Back To the Drawing Board · · Score: 1

    Just put a low-pass filter on you digital signal, and Blam! you've got curves.

  11. Re:Animal Intelligence on Empathy Is For the Birds · · Score: 1

    I thought this was going to end up with the monkeys looting your car after they get you to stop with the old dead-monkey-in-the-road trick.

  12. Re:Who paid for the report? on MIT Says Natural Gas Best To Lower Carbon Emissions · · Score: 1

    I don't think all those politicians are concerned about loose neutrinos polluting their state.

  13. Re:Hybrid or electric on Traffic-Flow Algorithm Can Reduce Fuel Consumption · · Score: 1

    That still doesn't account for my time wasted at lights.

  14. Re:well GREAT on Caffeine Addicts Get No Additional Perk, Only a Return To Baseline · · Score: 1

    I was told there would be no meth.

  15. Re:You could stick post-it notes over my screen .. on Website Mass-Bans Users Who Mention AdBlock · · Score: 1

    I've always feared the networks timing all their commercials to be on during the same intervals, so no matter witch of their stations you were watching they would be selling you something.

  16. Re:hmm on The iPad As In-Car Entertainment System Killer · · Score: 1

    I heard the Toyota issue was most likely an electronics problem, not mechanical.

  17. Re:So fast, so dangerous on Shuttle Reentry Over the Continental US · · Score: 1
    It may look like a plane but it really spends more time acting like a rock.

    FTFY

  18. Re:I am scared. I am intrigued. on Scientists Create Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    It doesn't make any sense to feed people in those situations on labmeat. It'd be way more efficient to just nourish them on what you're feeding the meat you're growing.

  19. Re:Where is the Original Cosmos series??? on Carl Sagan Sings · · Score: 1

    They are all on Hulu, just search for Cosmos.

  20. Re:doesn't seem that uncommon on Birth of a New African Ocean · · Score: 1

    The California coast is a traverse fault, not a divergent one like in Africa. So it's a slightly different case.

  21. Re:And the first thing they do after connecting... on Google Reveals Wireless Vision — Open Networks · · Score: 1

    Actually Google does have wifi connections all throughout their hometown of Mountain View.

  22. Re:Your site is padded with ads. Continue? on The Thirteen Greatest Error Messages of All Time · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should send them a message about this error.

  23. Re:Lasers on Miniaturized DNA Sewing Machines · · Score: 1

    I though it was all ball bearings theses days

  24. Re:IEEE article on wave power generators on Giant Snake-Shaped Generators Could Capture Wave Power · · Score: 1

    This is actually a different project. The one from TFA uses small submerged tubes with turbines, this one uses large articulating segments that float on the surface.

  25. Re:Impact Scale on Mars Had an Ancient Impact Like Earth · · Score: 2, Informative

    Helles, Isidis, and Argyre, the other large impact basins on Mars, though orders of magnitude smaller don't have rims, just big holes blown out of the ground.
