  1. Tool control measures on Mechanic's Mistake Trashes $244 Million Aircraft · · Score: 1

    Is that what it's called in surgery too? On-topic: seems if this could be an issue maybe a pressure senor in the tank (or a strain gauge on the tank) is a good idea.

  2. Re:Forgotten Lesson of WWII on Mechanic's Mistake Trashes $244 Million Aircraft · · Score: 1

    Yup Germany didn't go into a wartime economy until almost the end. For Germany to win, the war had to be short.

  3. Re:nothing of value was gained on Pac-Man Is NP-Hard · · Score: 1

    There are still games that are hard to beat. Super Meat Boy and Demon's Souls come to mind. Of course I haven't played either since I don't have the time to commit like I did to Contra and SuperC.

  4. Re:Yeah... on Pac-Man Is NP-Hard · · Score: 1

    Fire up something a bit more tactical like BF3, though I would call TF2 a twitch shooter. If it was your first time playing, might just need time to learn the maps and classes.

  5. Re:that's not the fun kind of x-ray laser on Scientists Create World's First Atomic X-Ray Laser · · Score: 1

    seems it would be easy to defeat by launching waves instead of just one large wave.

  6. How many would be needed on Scientists Create World's First Atomic X-Ray Laser · · Score: 1

    To cookoff munitions inside a tank?

  7. Re:Just don't write it down. on US Judge Rules Defendant Can Be Forced To Decrypt Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    The young criminals these days just seem to post to Youtube.

  8. Re:WWCSD? on Russian Scientist Claims Signs of Life Spotted On Venus · · Score: 1

    look more likely something that fell off the probe on landing.

  9. Re:Do no evil indeed on Google Caught Misbehaving By Kenyan Startup · · Score: 1

    Insurance companies do pull something like that. I recently refinanced and have received letters with the name of my bank up top but not of the company who send it. It's obvious that they are trying to pass the letter off as from my bank.

  10. Re:Rules? on Protecting Your Tablet From a Fall From Space · · Score: 1

    I remember seeing that in elementary school. Had to get my parents' permission first though.

  11. Re:Irrelevant stunt on Protecting Your Tablet From a Fall From Space · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't call it a parachute, maybe a drag device.

  12. Re:Why so high? on Protecting Your Tablet From a Fall From Space · · Score: 2

    don't forget low temperatures. I doubt the cover does much for those conditions though.

  13. Re:Why so high? on Protecting Your Tablet From a Fall From Space · · Score: 2

    yea but impact velocity is the same and that's what counts.

  14. Embrago already has effect on EU Moves To Ban Iran Crude Oil · · Score: 1

    The value to rial dropped with news of the US sanctions.
    http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/03/iran-currency-dollar-idUSL6E8C30JN20120103

    The exchange rate hovered at 17,200 rials to the dollar, marking a record low. The currency was trading at about 10,500 rials to the U.S. dollar last month.

  15. Re:Conspiracy Toolkit on What Life Was Like Inside the Hexagon Project · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There was no conspiracy with Hexagon. It was a just a secret government project. No one doubts that there are secret government projects. But the existence of secret projects does not imply the existence of a conspiracy to harm the American people.

  16. $30K version planned on Tesla Motors Announces Prices For Their Upcoming Models · · Score: 2

    Never fear, there's word of a $30K version being worked on by Tesla. Something like that would blow the Volt away. Tesla also works with Toyota and Benz on some of their electric vehicles.

  17. Re:Idea on How 3D Printing Could Help Keep the ISS In Orbit · · Score: 0

  18. Re:Can you please explain what's an atom again? on GE To Turn World's Biggest Civilian Plutonium Stockpile Into Electricity · · Score: 1

    What percent is left compared to water? RTA and let us know.

  19. Re:MythBusters on MythBusters Bust House · · Score: 1

    nah, they are creating new ones. Next season, they can try to recreate this incident.

  20. I find it disturbing on Feds Seize Korean Movie Download Portals · · Score: 1

    that the the Feds use bad puns to name their operations. "In Our Sites", really?

  21. Not so permanent , huh? on Permafrost Loss Greater Threat Than Deforestation · · Score: 1

    I propose we change the name to semi-permafrost.

  22. The opposite is true on Why America Doesn't Need More Tech Giants Like Apple · · Score: 1

    but they don't spread this wealth around as much as earlier industrial giants did

    Isn't the problem they spread the wealth too far from home?

  23. Re:A selling point? on Battlefield 3 Banned In Iran · · Score: 1

    Russia is the other side in this since they are the only country that could realistically put up a fight with the US. Iran or NK would just be a joke. Chinese equipment is not well know and it's hard to give them the numbers advantage in a game like BF3. I haven't played through the SP in BF3 so I don't know why the two sides are at war.

  24. Re:Ain't that a surprise on Debt Reduction Super Committee Fails To Agree · · Score: 1

    This was the plan all along. Now they can make the cuts they planned without having to actually pass it. They get to tell their constituents that this happened since the other side didn't compromise.

  25. I don't get the exercise on New Study Finds People Remember More Than They Think · · Score: 1

    Couldn't read the article, was the right answer none of them that 80% got right?
