  1. Re:Mutant Powers? on Researcher Warns That Military Must Prepare For "Mutant" Future · · Score: 1

    The normal way that all weapons of war are retired when the war ends.

    Sold to a third world dictator?
    Sounds bad.

  2. Re:To hell with the Boomers anyway. on Human Cloning Possible Within 50 Years, Nobel Prize-Winning Scientist Claims · · Score: 1

    Hey, you guys invented the generation gap. Doesn't feel so great to be on the receiving end does it?

  3. Re:To hell with the Boomers anyway. on Human Cloning Possible Within 50 Years, Nobel Prize-Winning Scientist Claims · · Score: 3, Informative

    Where does this "blame the boomers" crap come from?

    You robbed our pension funds, you burned our oil, you destroyed our system of education, you listened to shitty music, you preached love but practiced greed and you keep on making documentaries about how wonderful you were.

    Sincerely,
    Generation X

  4. Re:Instead of cloning, have sex on Human Cloning Possible Within 50 Years, Nobel Prize-Winning Scientist Claims · · Score: 1

    It wasn't so much the discovery of oil (which had been known for 5000 years), but the insight that you can use it for more than burning it in smelly and dangerous lamps.

    Then you carry two guns.

    You say that like it's a bad thing.

  8. Re:doesn't work in most cases on Engineers Use Electrical Hum To Fight Crime · · Score: 2

    A noise gate only shuts off the sound when the total input level falls below a certain threshold. The noise is still there in the parts that aren't quiet but you can't hear it behind the intentional sound.

  9. Re:Not Fraud! on Four Cups of Coffee A Day Cuts Risk of Oral Cancer · · Score: 1

    Because at 4 cups a day, you're not eating...

    Not in my experience. Are you sure you were drinking coffee?

  10. Re:What wrong has Steve done to you? on Steve Jobs Patent On iPhone Declared Invalid · · Score: 1

    Does Buddhism have a similar type of Hell in its afterlife?

    Yes, Tibetan Buddhism does, but it's not for eternity. It is one of the sections on the wheel of karma, a place you end up for one or more lives depending on your past deeds. A lot like this reality, which lies very close to it.

  11. Re:Watch out Google, Facebook might sue! on Google Launches Private Android App Stores · · Score: 1

    That's why I keep coming back to this place. After wading though piles of trolls, fanbois and nerds bitching about everything and nothing, someone makes a more or less offhand comment that leads to me discovering something new, and possibly hours of tinkering.

  17. Re:I think they meant build shelter, fuel... on Researchers Build Objects With 3D Printing Using Simulated Moon Rocks · · Score: 1

    And that would lead to seven years of bad luck! Better scrap that idea right away.

  18. Wait what funeral? You might have added a spoiler alert to that one. (Although I doubt that I will suddenly get the urge to watch it after successfully avoiding it for nearly a decade.)

  19. Re:We already have moon habitat technology on Researchers Build Objects With 3D Printing Using Simulated Moon Rocks · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see mr.Khalili build a fire on the moon. You know that they have water up there do you? He'd never get his kindling to light no matter how many moon trees he chops down to build his fire.

    No no no! 1998 was the time of e-mail and e-commerce. ICT was still called IT and gold was worth $200 an ounce. We all had onions tied to our belts as was the style of the time.
