  1. Re:huh on What Happens If You Have a Heart Attack In Space? · · Score: 1

    If only they had some sort of airtight full body suit up there in their spaceship. They could put the dead body in it until they can dispose of it. That's really too bad the dozen (hundreds?) of scientists and engineer didn't think about it.

  2. Doomed technology on 3D-Printed Material Can Carry 160,000 Times Its Own Weight · · Score: 1

    Until they can 3D print microlattices made of graphene it's a no go.

  3. Re: Fear mongering much? on Bitcoin Security Endangered By Powerful Mining Pool · · Score: 1

    It will be interesting to watch, since some other currencies use a different challenge, making the computer need memory in addition to the computing power to twart specialised asic miners.

  4. Re:does Elon Musk's infamy know no bounds?!!! on Tesla Releases Electric Car Patents To the Public · · Score: 0

    A complete hack. Posing as a good guy, but what did he achieve, really? I think he's even more evil than Google at that point.

  5. Re:Disruptive technology on Uber Demonstrations Snarl Traffic In London, Madrid, Berlin · · Score: 1

    The only disruptive technology here is not having to take a 270000$ loan to be able to do taxi work.

  6. Re:Mother Russia... on Getting the Most Out of the Space Station (Before It's Too Late) · · Score: 1

    Russians scraped their space shuttle equivalent after one flight because they had no use for it (instead of using it, to the cost of untold number of billions $ like the US did). Russians are pragmatic, why would they launch a space station while the ISS is still in orbit?
    Besides, they've done it before, remember Mir ?

  7. Re:Thermodynamically Impossible on Solar Roadways Project Beats $1M Goal, Should Enter Production · · Score: 1

    They want to have plenty of those road, so it could be imagined that roads in an area would melt the snow using energy collected by roads where the weather is better.

  8. We keep reading of these on FCC Gets Go-Ahead For Plan To Expand Rural Internet Access · · Score: 1

    plans to bring broadband to everyone years after years. You'd think it'd be finished by now. What happened to all the money ?

  9. Don't worry on NASA Money Crunch Means Trouble For Spitzer Space Telescope · · Score: 1

    The chinese probably have a Spitzer of their own on the drawing board. Should be up there in a few years.
    The military industrial complex doesn't need science, well, not astrophysics anyway.

  10. This technology has no future on Airbus E-Fan Electric Aircraft Makes First Flight · · Score: 1

    I share the opinion of numerous previous posters, when Airbus shows us their electric 380 with 45 minute of flight time, they'll be laughted at. 45 minutes just isn't enough, they should drop that stupid electric fan idea.

  11. 100% of the referendum results published... on Actual Results of Crimean Secession Vote Leaked · · Score: 1

    ...by both sides are false. That's the only thing we can be sure of.

  12. Simple fix on Netflix Pondering Peer-to-Peer Technology For Streaming Video · · Score: 1

    ISP can just lower upstream to 1/10th what it is now, except toward "good" websites. It'll happen, just watch, this is America we're talking about.

  13. Re:Russia on Russia Wants To Establish a Permanent Moon Base · · Score: 1

    Afaik Ukraine didn't hand over Crimea. To do that they'd need to have had the power to prevent it in the first place.

  14. Virtual farmsville? on Michael Abrash Joins Oculus, Calls Facebook 'Final Piece of the Puzzle' · · Score: 0

    Virtual 3D wall with ads that fly into your face?
    Virtual 3D panorama of your friends' latest photographs of their cats?

    To me VR is as important to Facebook as a spoiler to a Trabant.

  15. Re:People crushing on Russia.... on Russian Civil Law Changed By Wikimedia · · Score: 1

    "military action against dictators threatening to sell their oil for something other than dollars"

    Fixed that for you.

  16. Propaganda? on Iran Builds Mock-up of Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carrier · · Score: 1

    I think Iran has computers and 3D artists, and blowing up a CGI USA aircraft carrier would be cheaper and indistinguishable from the real thing on tv screens.

  17. Re:where's the fun in that? on Getting Misogyny, Racism and Homophobia Out of Gaming · · Score: 1

    Not fun at all, I agree. We totally need these game to auto-correct spelling and gramatical errors on player chat.

  18. Re:Surprised? on Overuse of Bioengineered Corn Gives Rise To Resistant Pests · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Plant evolves defense."

    Stop right there ! There's no such thing as evolution. Pests didn't evolve defense, God created new resistant pests. All those farmers who used GMO crops are obviously gay and are punished for it. *That's the only explanation.*

  19. We could save the elephants. Mamoth ivory will make regular one completelly lame and so 20th century.

  20. A tad too soon on Mars Rover Opportunity Faces New Threat: Budget Ax · · Score: 0

    I don't think the chinese will be there with a rover for another couple of years. Maybe Nasa could give them the rover's keys in the meantime ?

  21. Re:Sadly, Elon Musk is proof that on SpaceX Wants To Go To Mars — and Has a Plan To Get There · · Score: 1

    To advance rocket know how with a nice ambitious goal so we can go more interesting but less glamorous places more easilly after.

  22. Re:Good on SpaceX Wants To Go To Mars — and Has a Plan To Get There · · Score: 1

    While you are at it, provinding food and means to grow more to all the humans would be a more worthy goal, and I am sure you agree 100% and will endure having dial up in the meantime.

  23. It begins on WV Senator Calls For Ban On All Unregulated Cryptocurrencies · · Score: 1

    The war on terrorist currencies (as they'll call them shortly).

  24. Add a normal laser too on Laser Headlights Promise More Intense, Controllable Beams · · Score: 1

    Unless the headlight can vaporise oncomming blinded cars before they crash into you, you'll also need a normal laser to take care of them.

  25. I for one welcome... on Google Buys UK AI Startup Deep Mind · · Score: 0

    ... our new AI panda overlords.
