    He's a run of the mill moron that have an overinflated ego and sense of competence. The Dunning-Kruger effect in play more or less.

    The inhabitants of earth have a pretty good case against that statement too.

    that's pretty damn obnoxious of you, douchebag.

  4. 39 year career? How old are you? on Ask Slashdot: Best Training To Rekindle a Long Tech Career? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Given your very extended career I think digitalizing the fossils catalogue of some museum would fit perfectly as the next step.
    Why, you might even find you old classmates in there.

    LOTR actually have some relevance to Finland as Tolkien essentially picked Waelish worlds and mutilated them with Finnish grammar to create the elven language.

    Safety, because microscope accidents are the number #1 reason for death in children 5-15

  7. Re:Burn ants on Ask Slashdot: Advice On Child-Friendly Microscopes? · · Score: 3, Informative

    The ant burning ones are called magnifying glasses.

    Anyway, Stereo microscopes generally have less magnification, forget viewing bacteria with these, if you want to study the surface structure of wood or insect eyes, then sure, get a stero.

    Otherwise, get a classic 'university-grade' turret microscope with one oil immersion objective.
    Consider however that you may need dyes to stain your samples or you won't see all that much unless you get a phase contrast microscope. Consider also that you need thin translucent slices if you want to view tissues. If you just want to explore your saliva or the fauna in forest ponds, then you don't need as much.

    Also, there's no microscopic pornography or ultraviolence so I'm pretty sure you can let him operate it all on his own, just make sure he doesn't oil up the normal objectives or store the slides in his mouth.

  8. Re:Two Military Spy Telescopes... on NASA Gets Two Military Spy Telescopes For Astronomy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'll borrow this free topslot.

    Seriously. The US budget division is bonkers, retarded and upside down. They secret projects have so much money just lying around that they can build two hubble-class telescopes just like that, and then figure out that they don't need them so they can hand them over to NASA, why don't they need them? Well, probably because they built something a lot better and launched it already.

    Now consider then what else they're doing, and what say NASA could do with even a fraction of the money.

    I'm pretty sure that insects are not covered by any animal cruelty laws and regulations, building a cockroach-sized medieval torture chamber is as such entirely legal although perhaps somewhat eccentric.

    Though seriously, this was done in monkeys a long time ago, it's about fucking time it happens for humans.

    Now we just need to take it a few steps further, and use a larger implant to get more bandwidth and from different regions, and implant it in healthy academics to computer-enchance their intellectual capacity in order to establish a self-reinforcing feedback loop.

    And if someone bothered to get that fucking optogenetics-for-humans-project off the fucking ground that would be splendid.

    What you mean to say is that everyones suffer constant genetic damage that in the absence of cell cycle checkpoints and DNA repair mechanism and improper regulation of apoptosis(cellular selfdestruction) and whatnot else would most likely lead to cancer in a short time.

    Some people actually have cancers that are contained and are free from symtoms, but this should be detected and treated as the very hallmark of cancer is their tissue-invasive and metetastatic properties, so given time, they will try their best to kill you if left alone.

    But no, everyone do not have cancer.
