  1. One Second one trade on High-Frequency Traders Are the Ultimate Hackers, Says Mark Cuban · · Score: 1

    The SEC needs to step in and regulate this inequity. Let the HFT bitch and moan. A one second one trade rule would eliminate an advantage of a nearby server.

  2. Agreed on FTC Files Complaint Against Wyndham For Hotel Data Breaches · · Score: 1

    They should be required to notify their guests of their bad record of protecting data.

  3. By subject matter on How Would You Redesign the TLD Hierarchy? · · Score: 2

    Along the lines of the international card catalog library system with a maximum of three or four cross-references. This way a search could be something approximating exhaustive. Presently there are millions of hits on narrow searches and most of them reference JC Penneys.

  4. Collision with the asteroid is only part on Chinese Researchers Propose Asteroid Deflection Mission · · Score: 1

    of the solution. The second part is expending a substantial portion of the earth's nuclear arsenal to be detonated once Apophis has passed a safe distance. We don't have much experience with solar sail deflection systems but we do know something about blowing stuff up.

  5. Hope you don't like your television on Beamed Space Solar Power Plant To Open In 2016? · · Score: 1

    because your digital tuner filters are no where near strong enough to reject the signal of a power satelite.

  6. "A" for effort, "F" for execution on Scientists Build Neonatal Incubator From Car Parts · · Score: 1

    Sorry but this particular application fails the sniff test. Let me start by saying that I really wanted to be encouraging about this. The use of recycled auto parts to save infant lives is a truely noble gesture. Unfortunately the way the lives are saved may just be by ruining them. There may be a way to sterilyze the parts used without causing rust, oxidation, or corrosion but keeping them sterile would be a monumental if not impossible task. The second and more serious problem is that the method of warming the infants-pointing a car headlight at them is like stabbing them in the eyes. Neonates have undeveloped eyes that cannot regulate the amount of light that hit their retinas. They would be better off in complete darkness than a bright light on them. Their ears have a similar problem. They need silence to be able to develop smoothly and the open nature of the "junkyard" incubator does nothing to help this issue.
