  1. you should be able to... on New Permission System Could Make Android Much Less Secure · · Score: 3, Informative

    cripple apps by denying parts of their permission request. right now its all or nothing

  2. Re:You newbs, get a cell phone! on MagicJack Femtocell Gates Cell Traffic to VoIP · · Score: 1

    my dad uses this too and would agree that it is the shit. 20$/yr is nothing. That being said, why does anyone still want a land line? Being able to reduce my cell minutes because of this device would be MONEY!

  3. Re:I am a med student, and I am horrified on Virtual Visits To Doctors Spreading · · Score: 2, Funny

    dude- whatever. if this stuff is actually needed, the person over the net will say GO TO A DOCTOR. This sounds like a GREAT idea from a cost-savings perspective, which is the only one that matters here. Often, patients go in for an appointment with a drug in mind that they just need a script for. Like if i have poison ivy, i need steroids because in the past the topical stuff hasn't worked. If I don't get it the first time then i'll have to go in a 2nd time... costing me or my insurance something like 150$ each. clearly an online person could save alot of money here

  4. Re:For those without a decent calculator... on "Universal Jigsaw Puzzle" Hits Stores In Japan · · Score: 1

    so you're saying its not even enough combinations for good encryption!

  5. "200Kw, which is enough to move the ISS" on Ex-Astronaut Developing Plasma Rocket To Revitalize NASA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Can't any amount of power move the ISS just at a slower rate?

  6. Re:So it's a fnacy nmae on Schooling, Homeschooling, and Now, "Unschooling" · · Score: 1

    are you assuming that child C did this while it was unplugged? because otherwise he may not be as eager to play with power in the future? and with only one working hand...

  7. Re:Reminds me of those... on Poker Program Battles Humans In Vegas · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Playing perfectly = keeping 100% of your money in your wallet

  8. Re:Previous train route cancelled due to low useag on Transportation Bill Sets Aside $45 Million For MagLev Train · · Score: 1

    we're about to build a $4.2 billion bridge in portland, or. 4 billion doesn't buy what it used to. one concern though is that if these magnets aren't all being built in the USA we really aren't giving all that much money to US workers.

  9. landing places on Terrafugia CEO Responds To "Flying Car" Criticism · · Score: 2, Insightful

    as a pilot, i love the idea of being able to fly into a tiny strip by the beach and then drive the few miles to the nearby town. what i want to know is what stops someone from landing on a country road somewhere and then folding up their plane and saying 'oh no officer, i drove here'? there are plenty of roads that are landable around.
