  1. Re:Start here on White House: Use Metric If You Want, We Don't Care · · Score: 1

    The base 10 reason matters because our number system is base 10.
    If we had a base 12 number system then it would be best to use a base 12 measurement system..

    Every car I've seen with a digital speedometer also has an analog one on the side that displays both MPH and KPH.

  3. Eggs and caffeine are a bad combination on Scientists Clone Human Embryos To Make Stem Cells · · Score: 1

    Whenever I have eggs and caffeine it upsets my bowels.

    Are you the parent of said eight year olds?

  5. prison cameras on In Australian Town, Public CCTV Off Over Privacy Concerns · · Score: 0

    This is Australia. It is like turning off the cameras in a prison.

  6. Re:Playing the race card again on Florida Teen Expelled and Arrested For Science Experiment · · Score: 1

    It is hard to comprehend how someone can be for more restrictions on individuals' liberties but be considered less authoritarian.

    Swift Key has the arrow keys.

  8. Re:This is the problem on Carnegie Mellon Offers Wee QWERTY Texting Tech For Impossibly Tiny Devices · · Score: 1

    I can type well over 30 wpm using the Swift Key on screen keyboard on my phone which is faster than a fair amount of people using a regular keyboard on a PC. I am not some sort of freak with my fingers, the predictive software is just that good.

  9. Re:No more GMO! on Genetically Modified Plants To Produce Natural Lighting · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The big problem with pesticide resistant crops isn't that the are genetically modified, it is that they use a ton of pesticide on them. The people eating them get more pesticide in their system. Pesticide is not something you want to eat.

  10. Re:Missing the point of what a controller is on Omnidirectional Treadmill: The Ultimate FPS Input Device? · · Score: 1

    I'm going to have my pet rabbit run the mill while I do the shooting.

  11. Re:Amazon Showroom Effect on Kobo CEO Says Not Selling Washing Machines Key To Overtaking Amazon · · Score: 1

    I actually do the opposite with my computer related purchases. I check Newegg for reviews then check if it is on Amazon. I'm a prime member so I get free 2 day shipping.
    I have never seen anything on Newegg for cheaper than it is on Amazon. They are almost always the same price unless it is from a third party vendor. Amazon actively checks prices on other sites and matches them, just like the big brick and mortar stores do with each other. Newegg does the same thing and typically matches prices from TigerDirect, Amazon, and other competitors.

  12. One colony =/= every colony on Tracking Whole Colonies Shows Ants Make Career Moves · · Score: 2

    We should hold off judgment until we have analyzed more colonies. This could be the North Korea of ant colonies and the others could have more affluent and free societies.

    I would like a credit card sized phone so it can fit in my wallet.

    As someone who carries his phone in his pocket instead of his purse I disagree.

  16. Re:Loaded language? on Browser Choice May Affect Your Job Prospects · · Score: 1

    Impossible. If you reach 30 you become a powerful wizard and would have no need to perform petty labor.

  17. FTL communcation with a stick on European Researchers Propose Quantum Network Between Earth and ISS · · Score: 4, Funny

    1. Put a really long stick so that the ends reach the two points you want to communicate.
    2. Push the stick from one end and it moves at the same time on the other end for instantaneous FTL communication.
    3. Sell sticks to day traders.
    4. Profit.

    Yes, North Korea is a real life 1984.

  19. Re:Interesting. on Emscripten and New Javascript Engine Bring Unreal Engine To Firefox · · Score: 1

    The demo they showed is actually the Epic Citadel demo that is available on iOS and Android. It easily runs 60 frames per second at 1280x720 in full quality on my Galaxy S3 so it isn't impressive they are running it on a PC, only that it is running in javascript
    Since they are claiming the javascript is running like it is native code they should show something more impressive

  20. Re:SSD Drive on Gartner Says 3D Printers Will Cost Less Than $2,000 By 2016 · · Score: 1

    They will take off as they can do 640K. That should be enough for anyone.

  21. Re:Waiting for the day.. on Gartner Says 3D Printers Will Cost Less Than $2,000 By 2016 · · Score: 1

    If you used metal the same way plastic (adding it on bit by bit) is used in 3D printers it wouldn't be very strong at all. Metal needs to be casted in order to form a strong structure.

    Maybe you have a computer connected to your TV so you don't need a crappy blu-ray player or console.

    The title says Samsung wants to sell it to Amazon. It doesn't say Amazon wants to buy it. I didn't RTFS.

    The experiment was done using as song recorded in the 80s... You probably couldn't tell the difference if it was played back on a cassette.
