    I smell a lot of BS here, but I would like to see some hard facts on the photovoltaic properties of melanin. If there are any.

  2. Re:It's to be expected on The Coming Problems For Rolling Out 3D TV · · Score: 1

    Or it will die a slow death of neglect. Like so many forgotten technologies.

    Stereoscopic images have been touted as the next big thing every decade since 1880 or so. Why would this time be different?

  3. Re:Just Silliness on Apple Pulls C64 Emulator From the App Store · · Score: 2, Funny

    Have you never watched War Games? In the wrong hands those 8-bit machines could destroy the world.

  6. Re:WTF on Placebos Are Getting More Effective · · Score: 1

  7. Re:C64 without BASIC? on C64 Emulator Finally Approved For iPhone · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think I've run it on a pre 20th century Nokia phone.

    Did it have a big crank on the side?
    "Operator! I want to speak to Frantic Freddy!"

  8. Re:a magnetic monopole is like a one-sided coin: on "Overwhelming" Evidence For Magnetic Monopoles · · Score: 1

    A magnetic monopole is to a magnetic field what an electron is to an electric field.

    Just what we need. More singularities.

  9. Re:Too large on Swarms of Solar-Powered Microbots On the Way · · Score: 1

    but it's not cute enough to be called a minibot.

  10. Re:That is impressive on Opera 10.0 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't like it much, but I use it on a daily basis, because it is so light on system resources. (Firefox tends to bring this near obsolete POS win2000 system I have to use at work to it's knees, and IE6 well... let's not go there.)

  11. Re:Ya! on We're In the Midst of a Literacy Revolution · · Score: 1

    Never mind the literacy revolution, we need a maturity revolution.

  12. Re:a delivered local wi-fi attack? on FBI Investigating Mystery Laptops Sent To US Governors · · Score: 4, Funny

    "a delivered local wi-fi attack" is the best poetry I've read all day. Your lack of punctuation and capitalzation reminds me of e.e.cummings, and the unexpected Spielberg reference at the end is a stroke of genius. You should do poetry slams. (imagine "run superduper wi-fi haxor proggy" to the sound of a bass slapping. )

  13. Re:I actually saw one of these.... on Hackers (Or Pen-Testers) Hit Credit Unions With Malware On CD · · Score: 1

    People who know how to write properly are usually smart enough not to get mixed up in petty crime.

    If they are of a criminal bent, they get a job at the company and go for the big fraud.

    When has green not meant better?

    You could just rip the clock out of an old VCR.

  16. Re:Unsettling? on Initial Tests Fail To Find Gravitational Waves · · Score: 1

    Karl Popper would want a word with you, were he still alive that is.

  17. Re:Underfunded? on Alternative Orion Missions Proposed · · Score: 1

    Under this program, how much cash can NASA get for the remaining shuttles?

  18. Re:Welcome to the Moon! on Alternative Orion Missions Proposed · · Score: 2, Funny

    NASA rockets. Designed by robots for robots. Don't accept cheap imitations.

  19. Re:Port of Hamburg on Robots Make the Coins Go 'Round, Down Under · · Score: 1

    "Terminal Automation" sounds more like you put robots in a retirement home...

    I smell a sitcom idea in there. We already have a title.

  20. Re:about time... on NASA Probe Blasts 461 Gigabytes of Moon Data Daily · · Score: 1

    "and real video footage as opposed to footage put together from still images"

    Well Japan was always ahead of the rest of the world technologically.

  22. Re:hypotheses on NASA Discovers Life's Building Block In Comet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Reproduction would proceed very slowly in interstellar clouds, due to the low density of the gas.

    You'd need a planet for the chemistry to proceed at a rapid pace (due to both temperature and density). I'm not saying that the planet has to be Earth, but a planet would be the most likely starting point.

    he performs rote actions, with the purpose of increasing his bank.

    Boy that was just like my year of playing WoW. You mean I could get paid for that?

  24. Re:Green is Population Control on Rival Green Groups Bid To Snatch .eco Domain · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that education is hereditary?
