  1. Re:America on Why Did It Take So Long To Invent the Wheel? · · Score: 1

    . What do people who have both X and Y chromosomes

    They are called men, mostly.

  2. As the public records more the laws have to adjust on Photographing Police: Deletion Is Not Forever · · Score: 1

    With most cellphones now having a video camera, it'll be more likely that police will be recorded during an incident. I'm sure most feel that this is legitimate and the courts say the same thing. Cops are going to have to learn to live with it. Hopefully it'll cut down on abusive police practices.

  3. Re:WTH? on The Math of Leap Days · · Score: 1

    We all just need to add to our post count.

  4. Re:yet more biblical contradictions on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 1

    But why create the tree? What good is free will if you don't know the difference between good and evil?

  5. Re:yet more biblical contradictions on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 1

    And who decided on these natural consequences? Who decided death was the punishment for sin? Who decided the only way to save humanity was to kill his own son? Is God himself held to some rules given by his god?

  6. Re:Yeesh on YouTube Identifies Birdsong As Copyrighted Music · · Score: 1

    Someone looking to sell a new type of herbicide?

  7. Re:IF on Astronomers Confirm a Hot and Steamy Exoplanet · · Score: 1

    how low would the pressure have to be to still keep it as water at 230C? Also the planet outmasses the earth so I'm guessing pressure at the surface is much higher than Earth's especially with a 50% water atmosphere.

  8. Re:It won't stay that way for long on Astronomers Confirm a Hot and Steamy Exoplanet · · Score: 1

    that or the atmosphere burns.

  9. Re:It won't stay that way for long on Astronomers Confirm a Hot and Steamy Exoplanet · · Score: 1

    pretty sure gravity is only influenced by mass and distance. I guess you can work volume in as long as you are only talking about gravity on the surface.

  10. Re:yet more biblical contradictions on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 1

    seems kind of unfair to judge people who didn't have the ability to know right from wrong.

  11. Re:Great on Indian Government To Track Locations of All Cell Phone Users · · Score: 1

    Doesn't that kill you batteries? Best turn it off in that box.

  12. Re:Length isn't everything... on Why the Number of O's In LOL Matter On YouTube · · Score: 1

    There's truth to this. Chances are a video that's been marked funny due to long LOLs will probably not be of my taste. Unless it's a clip of someone getting hit in the balls, that's to everyone's taste and the Springfield Film Festival has proven.

  13. Re:so on Why the Number of O's In LOL Matter On YouTube · · Score: 1

    At least there'll be less than 10K of them.

  14. Re:Estate tax on The Zuckerberg Tax · · Score: 1

    Estate tax also prevents families from accumulating extreme fortunes, and with that wealth power, over generations.

  15. Re:Such systems have been proposed before on The Zuckerberg Tax · · Score: 1

    Then you hit the lower classes more since they spend more of their income than the upper class does. Also if you spend on credit, you would be paying tax on money you didn't have. Wealth tax doesn't work either since it is not easy to convert wealth to money. Say a rich uncle gives you his house that has been in the family for generations that you would like to keep but the value of the house is in the millions. Could wouldn't be easily be able to convert the wealth of the house into money to pay property taxes or a wealth tax.

  16. Re:Many versus Awesome on India Turns Down American Fighter Jets, Buys From France · · Score: 1

    Pakistan uses Chinese and US planes. Including a few F-16s.

  17. Re:Sigh on 3,500 Year Old Florida Tree Dies of Natural Causes · · Score: 1

    Methuselah looks more like abstract art than a tree. Suprising that the oldest tree is in such a dry area.

  18. Re:If only trees could talk on 3,500 Year Old Florida Tree Dies of Natural Causes · · Score: 1

    But if trees could talk, I sure the stories would have traveled around like folklore. Then we could have taught them to write with their sap onto paper they made themselves.

    yea, not sure how the summary went from planet warming gas to ice age.

  23. Re:Yes, I believe they will on Pentagon: 30,000 Pound Bomb Too Small · · Score: 1

    But an energy weapon doesn't need to be a blink of an eye. Maybe you have it going for a few hours. Which was the Bond flick with the space based laser?

  24. Re:The name of the bomb is "Massive" on Pentagon: 30,000 Pound Bomb Too Small · · Score: 1

    I thought MOAB was a fuel-air bomb.

    ahh the GBU 43.

    I was expecting to see Ron Paul's name much before this in a topic like this. Are his followers giving up already?
