  1. Re:Here's a few on Sciencey Heroes For Young Children? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They have done quite a bit to advance the public's thinking of science, and without passing through years of deadlocked science conferences, unread magazine articles and academic review.

    Then again, they've done this without those kinds of checks, which means that their science could be (and has been proved to be, on revisits of myths) incorrect.

  2. Re:Here's a few on Sciencey Heroes For Young Children? · · Score: 1

    Aren't they too old? I believe Adam is in his 40s and Jamie's gotta be almost 50 by now if he isn't already.

  3. Re:Jesus Christ is my #1 Science Hero! on Sciencey Heroes For Young Children? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but he's too old. If Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger barely cuts it at about age thirty, then Jesus fails miserably at about age two thousand.

  4. 'Liberal' Gene? on Researchers Find a 'Liberal Gene' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What's wrong with calling it the 'Conservative Gene'? I'm sure it would have been if it had been discovered anywhere between 2 and 10 years ago.

  5. Oracle = Predictable? on Oracle Asks OpenOffice Community Members To Leave · · Score: 1

    Conflict of interest? Apparently!

  6. Re:Trivia on Earth-Like Planet That Could Sustain Life Found · · Score: 1

    Star Trek fans will know that this 'Class M' planet is basically Remus. Impossibly hot (and probably irradiated) on one side, perpetually dark on the other. Would make for some very strange human colonists, they would have huge eyes in deep sockets, a deep, gravelly voice and a general appearance like this: http://movies.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/nemesis/ch8/nemesis209.jpg :P

  7. Re:Translation for the legislative impared. on Wisconsin DA Threatens Arrests Over Sex Ed · · Score: 1

    This guy must have failed the English portion of his SATs. The two examples don't correlate. Condoms are a method of safe sex, a contraceptive, not a reservation for a hotel room. Any high school student could probably find the right answer to the question here:

    Sex Education is to Education in proper use of Condoms, as Alcohol Education is to:
    a) Education in preparing Mixed Drinks
    b) Education in identifying and assisting someone with alcohol poisoning
    c) Education in the best Drinking Games
    d) Physics Education

  8. Next? on France Bans Use of 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Version 3.0? Anyone?

  9. Death? on Hacker McKinnon To Be Extradited To US · · Score: 1

    Virtual death? Yes, I suppose he would be dead, so to speak, on the internet.

  10. Let the games commence! on Vista Post-SP2 Is the Safest OS On the Planet · · Score: 1

    Uh, how long would one of those Pwn-to-Own sessions take to break this new "safest OS on the planet?"

    I though Microsoft would have learned its lesson by now. Maybe I'm just being too optimistic.
