  1. Parallel China to Identured America on Foxconn Betting Big On Firefox OS · · Score: 1

    Given how, at least as was the opinion of two month's ago, China is taking all trade secrets on a scale that America under King George could not have imagined, perhaps the parallel to China is America, side stepped off a century or so. What does that mean for the relationship between Apple and Foxconn? Your turn. By the way, when the USSR stole American trade secrets down to the blueprints for factories, Russian engineers were not allowed to be creative. They were so stifled it must have made them numb-er than mudbloods.

  2. robots on paper on Ethical Killing Machines · · Score: 1

    If you believe the incrowd, then MURDER DEATH KILL robots with fuzzy little Disney stickers on them should run on punch cards and they'll be completely safe. Because paper makes voting safe.

    Was this a joke or did it go too 6iron

    My phone is beeping all of a sudden.

  3. solar on Geoengineering To Cool the Earth Becoming Thinkable · · Score: 1

    Now that solar energy is soon to intersect with profitability, why not take all the extra greenhouse sunlight and turn it into electricity? Is the problem that all the flight time of greenhouse sunlight turning the photos into heat before they can be captured?

  4. Re:Warning: religious comment. Proceed with cautio on Old Materials Resurface For "Prebiotic Soup" · · Score: 1

    You'll notice I didn't provide a citation. The % is from memory, heard it from some audio book or podcast from a guy who retrieved HIV DNA from samples embedded in paraffin. Perhaps the Nature magazine podcast. They also mentioned that the mutations where all in one part of the virus DNA, not just random. Sorry for not representing the science side in fine style. Learning biology without understanding evolution is like learning mechanics without having the number zero. A better example might have been evolution explains why people who passed through Northern latitudes have light skin since the selection pressure of Vitamin D deficiency affected reproductive success. But why bother trying when people have sacred a priori?

  5. Re:Warning: religious comment. Proceed with cautio on Old Materials Resurface For "Prebiotic Soup" · · Score: 1

    You are kind of a moron. I mean look at HIV. It's mutated 20% from the original strain. That's evolution. You claim you are not a supporter of 20,000 year old Earth but actually you are supporting them in your comment.

    How can you have "both sides of the debate are taking whatever evidence comes up and claiming it supports their perspective" when basically one side just makes up lies (very difficult note: lies are not evidence) and publishes word salad "science" which only survives since it validates a priori of Creationists?

    Peace.

  6. Re:As if parents needed another "war" to worry abo on President Signs Law Creating Copyright Czar · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm old enough to remember when this would have been assumed to be a Russian joke. Now it's an American joke.

  7. Re:review copy on Fallout 3 Gets Leaked, Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    Why not use a Demo?

  8. what no Idiocracy tag? on A Robot To Destroy Breast Cancer Cells · · Score: 1

    (Insert tube.)

  9. Re:Overrated on No IPv6 For UK Broadband Users · · Score: 1

    You can sort of NAT ipv6 although I won't drag up the reference material for you.

    NAT isn't a firewall according to security people.

  10. Re:Overrated on No IPv6 For UK Broadband Users · · Score: 1

    Few problems because of the reports. Or do you think those high y2k salaries for COBOL programmers were for chatting at the water cooler?

    Or for ipv4: would you buy cheap routers now if they lacked ipv6?

  11. Re:Reinventing ancient history on Google's Obfuscated TCP · · Score: 1

    Lorite.

  12. it's no good any more is why on 16th World Computer Chess Championship In Progress · · Score: 1

    Because if Fritz stays out than people like you will assume it still might be world champion when it isn't even close any more. Well, and me since I bought a copy.

    Rybka would tear it to shreds since all the Rybka programmers are all grandmasters who fill Rybka to the brim with chess ideas.

    You'll notice this isn't the first competition Fritz stayed out of but all the other engines have stayed in. Fritz has stayed out since Rybka showed up IIRC.

  13. free courses missing mailing lists, forums on Stanford To Offer Free CS and Robotics Courses · · Score: 1

    Free online courses are missing mailing lists, forums for the non-students to exchange questions and answers without requiring the resources of the schools. Why not offer forums and mailing lists? Are they afraid of quiz answers being posted?
