    on the plus side, maybe we'll learn to reproduce through fission... then sex wouldn't be such a big deal anymore, and i can finally lose my ... ahem, well, you know.

  2. Re:Mammals convert Fat into CO2 anyway... on Researchers Enable Mice To Exhale Fat · · Score: 1

    You just randomly typed a series of characters, didn't you? I'm on to you, pseudo-scientists who have to use complicated acronyms to mask the fact that you're talking gibberish! (or, PSWHTUCATMTFTYTG's).

  3. Re:No, even worse. on Researchers Enable Mice To Exhale Fat · · Score: 1

    I can't do the calculations myself (and don't want to), but somehow I seriously doubt that if you burned all the excess fat of all Americans, that would produce a measurable (or at least significant) increase in CO2 emission levels...

    i heard of this other guy that pulled something like that off once, but i can't seem to remember his name... was it Jacob? Jessie? Justin? not sure... anyway i think he died a while ago, but i think he left some notes in this book his dad supposedly wrote, though it was published anonymously, so no one's really sure.

    New York isn't stolen. The British just went back in time and made a city called York to make it seem like it was stolen.

    niiice. it's an insult, but the cool thing is that it's so stupid that it's obvious that you're making fun of the whole argument on the internet thing. very clever, being funny by being stupid!

    well, seeing as "Abort, retry or ignore" is usually an infinite loop, this would stop the hurricane in its tracks, so i guess it'd be a good thing...

    also, i've been wondering this for a while - what would happen if someone tried to, just for fun, blow up a nucular bomb in the middle of a hurricane? or a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon

  16. can it work? on Can Bill Gates Prevent the Next Katrina? · · Score: 1

    I know people understand hurricanes decently well, and clearly by taking/giving enough energy (heat) at the right locations in a hurricane you could theoretically stop it. But my question is - could this actually work? Or would it take so much energy that it's practically impossible with today's (or tomorrow's, etc) technology?

    first of all, i don't think sex with animals is necessary for a new human std to appear (maybe not from nothing, but from some very unlikely source. that's usually how these things go, i guess...), and second, people do screw animals.

    common misconception. the characters '0' and '1' aren't binary, they in fact correspond to the numbers 48 and 49. you'd have to send NULL and SOH for 0 and 1.

    eventually, it'll probably re-write all of the code to do everything better, and without mistakes. but that's in about 100 years or so (probably more). for now, be happy with what you've got.
