  1. Demonstrative Teaching on Improving Education? · · Score: 1

    I think making efforts to demonstrate concepts and principles, as far as the sciences and mathematics go at least, would be best. Lecturing and making people read books doesn't cut it in my opinion. Showing students not only experiments, but ways to reason through phenomena they may encounter will give them valuable skills. This can be expensive, so perhaps simulations can be programmed and distributed to schools where they can be shown in computer labs.

  2. Hemp makes better paper on Genetically-Modified Everything · · Score: 1

    I don't think even GMing trees will make it more advantageous than industrial hemp -- which does not have enough THC to get one high.

    Read here: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/drugs/hemp-marijuana/inde x.html

    Fight prejudice and corrupt business practices and advocate industrial hemp!

  3. Why not on my birthday? on Guess When Mir Will Splash · · Score: 1

    2001-03-20 10:52:00

    This is when I was born in 1980, with the correction to east coast time.

    The shirt better not say, "I guessed when Mir fell and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."

  4. Re:Doesn't matter on College Board AP CompSci Exam Will Be In Java · · Score: 1

    Recursion? Sounds like scheme...

  5. Re:Able to survive in space =/= Coming from space on Alien Life Found On Earth? · · Score: 1

    Humans send tons of stuff into space which is not necessarily sterile. How do we know that a rocket, or satellite picked up some bacteria with it?

    I want to believe...

  6. Re:Space heatsink on Controlling Space Satellites · · Score: 1

    Isn't space something like -270 degrees because of the Penzias-Wilson discovery of the radiation left over from the big bang? I guess I *could* look it up to be sure. Ok, this is going to get moderated Offtopic fast.

  7. Voting Trolls? on Analysis: Reforming Political Technology · · Score: 1

    I hope to god we don't to see:

    first vote!

    at any elections.

  8. Join Nanodot on Univ. of Washington Announces First Nanotech Ph.D. · · Score: 1

    I read Nanodot just as frequently as I read Slashdot. Nanodot is a forum built off of slashcode where people talk about oncoming technologies. Sad thing is that there's only about 3 or 4 replies per article. There is some great discussion going on here that could just get better on Nanodot. Check it out and comment it up! Don't let it sit there...

  9. Re:What I need Nanotech for on Univ. of Washington Announces First Nanotech Ph.D. · · Score: 1

    We wouldn't need plastic surgery either. Or survival of the fittest. There's no reason why an army of nanites or nanobots or what-have-you could go into every one of your cells and forcibly mutate every strand of DNA to the desired specification. All regenerative tissues then could change to reflect the new DNA eventually. I'd like to say that this couldn't happen, but is there any reason that it couldn't?

  10. Re:Dammit! on CmdrTaco And Hemos Speaking At MIT Thurs · · Score: 1

    Dude, MIT had Ralph Nader last May. But, you guys had Mike Nelson. Damn you. He shoulda been Nader's running mate.

  11. What about the porn version? on Star Wars Episode 2 Title Leaked · · Score: 1

    Will they call the porn version, "The Rise of the Emperor"? Hmm...wonder if they can shrink Leia's metal bra to fit Amidala...

  12. Speaking of duct tape... on Houston, We have a Space Station! · · Score: 1

    Some astronauts visited my plant here at Boeing and guess what? They were giving out awards for outstanding engineers with little pieces of duct tape which were used on the Space Station. Pretty crazy, eh?

  13. Twins are the same person? on The Perfect Gift: a Clone of Yourself? · · Score: 1

    "Cloning will enable mankind to reach eternal life. The next step,like the ELOHIM do with their 25,000 years of scientific advance, will be to directly clone an adult person without having to go through the growth process and to transfer memory and personality in this person. Then, we wake up after death in a brand new body just like after a good night sleep!" Rael So, if there is another body with the same DNA it is the same person? Right...twins are the same person...makes sense to me!
