    lasers could easily out shine the sun

  2. Re:Medical uses? on Full Body Scanners Violate Child Porn Laws · · Score: 1

    "When X-rays are used for medical imaging purposes, they have to be energetic enough to get through the human body. The X-rays used in the backscatter machines in airports have such low energy that they literally bounce off the skin. That is what backscatter implies," Thrall said. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34734234/ns/travel-news/
    you know this if you were a radiologist, instead of an idiot.

  3. Re:1984 came late... on Full Body Scanners Violate Child Porn Laws · · Score: 1

    i don't suppose a highly motivated, global organization that specializes in terror warrants some poor sap having to look at your ass. and, btw, i don't see how PUBLIC security has anything to do with someone bugging your PRIVATE residence, but, by all means, keep rocking the tin foil hat like its fucking 1984

  4. Re:Only in the US on Take-Two Faces $20 Million Settlement For "Hot Coffee" Scandal · · Score: 1

    we are cool with sex, as long as the lights are off.
    in gta3, for example, when you hired a hooker you just saw the car rocking; in our sitcoms it's fine to imply the act, just as long as we don't have to look at it. if it was any other way I'd run for the hills...have you seen what our population looks like?

  5. Re:South Park Movie Officially Torture.. on South Park Creators Given Signed Photo of Saddam Hussein · · Score: 1

    dude, their core audience is ages 12-17. if you've ever been in a public school cafeteria you would know that it's a running competition to go the farthest 'over the top'

  6. oh noes on Gmail Marks Five Years In Beta · · Score: 2, Funny

    they know i have erectile-dysfunction and am also insecure about my bust size, and on a more dubious note, I am most likely personally responsible for all Nigerian immigration to the US. Oh yeah, I also get mail from the future...wait a second, I'm thinking about my old yahoo mail account. seriously though, how much energy is wasted hosting my personal collection of over 100,000 unread spam emails.

  7. Re:Think of the poor publishers! on Questions Linger Over Google Book Rights Registry · · Score: 1

    I think the "throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks" method would be awesome, provided they let you read the first 20 or so pages. With a good user rating system I really see no need for publishers.

  8. Re:marketing gimmick on Early Look At the New Wolfenstein Game · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "RTCW: Enemy Territory" should be good enough for anyone. Its free, will run at about 1000fps on modern hardware, and has the essentials of a FPS without the fluff.

  9. Re:Does the law have the right direction? on Graphic Artists Condemn UK Ban On Erotic Comics · · Score: 4, Insightful

    would it not follow that written descriptions be outlawed as well.

    fender squire--just about the cheapest it gets...if your good though, you can rock it all day. throw in some new pickups and take on the road.

  13. Re:he also used the word nigger a lot on Abraham Lincoln the Early Adopter · · Score: 3, Insightful

    he held racist views, but he also said of black persons "but in the right to eat the bread without leave of anybody else which his own hand earns, he is my equal" in other words, he didn't let his prejudice get in the way of policy.

  14. Re:Why are they so easyly bought or manipulated on New Bill Would Repeal NIH Open Access Policy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    perhaps we should outsource our entire government to buddhist monks

    "It was the largest, most complex test we have ever done,"
    "However, he said the 40-year-old target missile failed to deploy its countermeasures -- such as decoys or chaff -- which were supposed to add realism to the test. "

    North Korea only has one missile right?

    " The US Revolutionary and US Civil War were also necessary and justly undertaken. "
    We are playing taxes again....

  20. watch a movie or play puzzle games for engagement on Measuring Engagement In Games · · Score: 1

    if you want engagement in a fps its got to be multi-player action(who likes killing bots?), and your opponents have to be at your level or higher, and most importantly you must thwart that damn cat from jumping up on the keyboard. Cartmen voice: NO Kiddy! Thats a Bad KIDDY!

  21. no portable devices, ok, i just need 10^45 joules on Portable Solar Power For Portable Hardware? · · Score: 1

    The tricky part is that the my cubical wouldn't actually move; space itself would move underneath the stationary cubical. A beam of light next to me would still zoom away, same as it always does, but a beam of light far from me would be left behind. warp drive

  24. Re:Reminds me of an interesting site on NASA To Explore "Secret Layer" of the Sun · · Score: 2, Informative

    very interesting site, and layman friendly; it contains a link to a peer reviewed paper that is a good read and very understandable:
    http://arxiv.org/ftp/astro-ph/papers/0511/0511379.pdf
    The papers states:
    a) The Sun and other stars act as plasma diffusers, sorting lighter atoms to their surfaces.

    b) The interior of the Sun is made of common elements in rocky planets and meteorites â" Fe, Ni, O, Si, and S â" although the lightest elements (H and He) cover its surface.

    c) Neutron-emission from the solar core, a neutron star, is the first step in a series of reactions that has steadily generated luminosity, neutrinos, solar mass fractionation, and an out-pouring of solar-wind hydrogen from the Sun over the past 4-5 Gy.
