  1. Use the Immune System on New Wave of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria · · Score: 1

    When antibiotics and antiviral research was first being used, they used methods of stimulating the immune system to a better response. But when chemicals proved easier, research switched to that. If we can get the immune system to fight them off itself, we won't have these problems.

  2. Martyn Poliakoff on Tomorrow's Science Heroes? · · Score: 0

    You don't get a more classic science look. And his stories are great. http://periodicvideos.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyn_Poliakoff

  3. Magellan RoadMate 800 on Hackable In-Car GPS Unit? · · Score: 0

    I have a Magellan RoadMate 800 which runs a stripped-down version of Windows CE. With just a button-press combination you can view a full windows desktop environment with touchscreen behind it and run whatever programme you want. It's super easy as it has an SD slot and 20-40GB of internal memory to do just about whatever you want with it.

  4. *More* Litigation? on Students, the Other Unprotected Lab Animals · · Score: 0

    *Just* what we need... As if my school didn't have enough issues already getting the lab supplies we want and need...

  5. Yahoo Maps? on Space Bat Tribute Will Make You Cry (youtube.com) · · Score: 0

    For shame. Google should have been used. Space Bat would have wanted it that way.

  6. Macintosh on Windows and Linux Not Well Prepared For Multicore Chips · · Score: 0

    Mac FTW!

  7. Anti-DRM on Harlan Ellison Sues For "Star Trek" Episode · · Score: -1, Troll

    And this is why so many of us don't like DRM. The money doesn't end up going to those who need/deserve it anyway...

  8. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? on Meteorite Hunters Find the West Texas Fireball · · Score: 1

    Astronomy nerd style!

  9. Indecipherable on Building a Better CAPTCHA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I know _I_ often have trouble seeing those... Maybe some sort of an animated .gif would be better?

  10. OpenOffice.org 3? on Open Source Victories of 2008 · · Score: 0

    What about OpenOffice.org 3? I know for the Mac version, it was a dramatic improvement (at least as far as aesthetics are concerned)...

  11. Accuracy? on Next Generation T9 Keyboard Technology · · Score: 0

    I'd like to see the accuracy of this system in a real-life setting. On phones with the T9 technology, I found it was faster for me to hit a key three times than to backspace every time the software made a mistake (which was frequently)...

  12. Re:There is only one keyboard on The Best Keyboards For Every Occasion · · Score: 0

    Closest you can get now is the Das keyboard. That's what I use (albeit the earlier model). It's at Thinkgeek .

  13. Re:Second! on Leap Second To Be Added Dec 31, 2008 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This is true, but the offense has been repeated at least three or four times today, and it seems like there should be a way of banning repeat offenders (such as the way it is possible on Wikipedia).

  14. Re:Second! on Leap Second To Be Added Dec 31, 2008 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Is there a way to possibly block this particular "Anonymous Coward's" IP from posting? This offensive comment has been posted on every article I've seen posted today...

  15. DHHell on Thieves Take the Cake · · Score: 1

    Is this why DHL is pulling out of the US? If they hire couriers who like fruitcake in Germany, what they must be like in the US!

  16. Beauty of Capitalism on SpaceShipTwo Mothership Makes Maiden Flight · · Score: 2

    The field of personal space travel is opening up! This is the beauty of capitalism.

  17. Bag didn't match on Astronaut Loses Tools While Performing an EVA · · Score: 1

    We all know the _real_ reason why she let the bag go... it just didn't matcher her outfit.
