  1. Re:So..... on FBI: $10,000 Reward For Info On Anyone Who Points a Laser At an Aircraft · · Score: 1

    Bionic eyes could work, but I was thinking more along the lines of protective eyewear that would filter out the intense light, or dull it enough that it does not blind the pilot. To be worn during takeoff and landing only would be most practical, but that's just my inexperienced opinion.

    Do you realize that analogous punishments for copyright infringement have not actually lowered the number of incidents at all? The fact of the matter is that the "idiots failing to understand the consequences" will always exist, and there are always more being made. Adding harsh punishments simply adds to the consequences that those people do not understand, achieving nothing at all. I would wager that the cause for the increased incidents is because of the increased media attention, which would only increase as harsh punishments are handed down, which would make your solution part of the problem.

    Unless we're somehow going to regulate laser pointers like guns, it would be far more effective to add some sort of countermeasure to the planes themselves, or the pilots.

    "In God We Trust" didn't appear on US currency until lincoln, for religious reasons. It was then required on all currency in the '50s because communists were godless bastards we had to oppose in all things.

    Bittorrent is already cloud storage by definition. The data exists on multiple computers and is accessed over the internet. Hash checking makes it very unlikely that sabotage efforts will ever work practically. The only difference between bittorrent and the paid cloud storage is that bittorrent is more redundant, and kept online by goodwill rather than cash.

    The price hike is making them an enormous amount of money. They lost 4% of their customers, but are charging almost double. I would assume that enough customers kept their old plans to make up that loss many times.

    With enough space debris, we can deflect the sun's rays, which will end global warming.

    Humans can consume meat naturally, cows cannot, which is the only reason that them being herbivores was mentioned. The real issue was from cows eating infected cows; it would be like you eating someone with HIV. Chances are, you would get infected.
