  1. Re: Quick poll on Apple's First Android App Makes It Easy To Move To iOS · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Many Android devices have alternate OSes (Cyanogenmod, etc) that support the device for far longer than the OEM did.

    That's another example of the freedom you get with the Android platform instead of iOS.

    Android, Fuck yeah!

  3. Re:Israel hasn't vowed to "wipe Iran off the map" on Flash From the Past: Why an Apparent Israeli Nuclear Test In 1979 Matters Today · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Who would israel use nukes against? Only a fool would nuke your neighbors, even if they hate you.

    Why does the US and UN continue to allow Israel to have them? They don't really need the weapons, they can't use them in anyway without starting a massive war that will basically eliminate their country.

    By having the weapons, it causes their neighbors to want them to keep forces equal. So you have fucking crazy states like Iran constantly trying to even the playing field with Israel.

    The only reason I can see for Israel to have them is leverage over the US and other countries. As long as their nukes exist (or everyone thinks they exist), there's a kind of cold war that can be easily sparked into actual war, so the US, UN, etc can't unilaterally do anything to either side without potentially sparking an even bigger war.

    Since Israel is one of the bigger powers in the region, this unstableness prevents the larger powers from getting involved and gives more slack to do what they want.

    (this isn't meant to be anti-israel rant, just a theory. I'm generally pro Israel as a western style democracy in an otherwise fucked up region of the world).

    In 2016, Mark lost both arms in a freak robotic suit electrocution accident.

    Scientists are working on on a tritium powered, eight limbed robotic exo skeleton and prerequisite inhibitor chip to help him overcome his latest disability.

    What if we could grow some kind of uberbrain to solve difficult problems and mathematical calculations?

    We'd obviously need to feed it some kind of chemical to keep it going. Some kind of season or salt to keep the brain processes executing, what shall we call it?
