  1. Sincerity is required on Honda Develops Brain Interface For Robot Control · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder what would happen if the subject felt the urge of punching someone, among other things.

    This could lead to very strange situations.

  2. Re:Some cases are subjective on Is That "Sexting" Pic Illegal? A Scientific Test · · Score: 1

    Is this a parent with a childhood photo album that happens to contain half a dozen bathtime pictures, one of which has the child appearing to be masturbating, mixed in with hundreds of non-bathtime pictures?

    Photos the parents keep are a risk for the children. For real. They should be illegal.

    Either this or have them overly sexualized.

    As it seems, it's hard to have a neutral view about these matters. At least it is when it gets to media.

    I think the purpose of this virus is to try to take over the world.

    Huh? Should I click morse code in a scottish accent?

    I thought typing esperanto in binary would be work

  6. Re:Does the law have the right direction? on Graphic Artists Condemn UK Ban On Erotic Comics · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Agreed. Additionally, "fine" folllows only a single rule: "Your Mileage May Vary".

    The definition of "fine" is made by individuals. Being so it may and will vary. The problem isn't whether it is "obscene", but whether it is harmful. The difference between perceived and real should be noted.

    Are the viewers willing to see it? Is it causing any real harm? What is the opinion of the sides involved? And, more importantly: is there any issue that should be priorized before discussing this?

    These are the questions that should be addressed

    Keep them hidden on the fridge, under a frozen pepperoni pizza.

    By the time someone discovers them, it will be art already.

  8. Re:Don't forget the asteroids. on The Underappreciated Risks of Severe Space Weather · · Score: 1

    Any government is supposed to manage its territory to avoid crisis and conflicts of any kind and to provide an adequate environment to the citizens. Other than this, there is no reason for it even existing.

    If the financial crisis was predicted by specialists, surely there would be measures that could be taken before.

    So, yes. They should have done something before, so there wouldn't be a crisis and they wouldn't have to do anything now. Being so a greater number of people would satisfied or at least less troubled.

    Jackalope is actually just a poor sick rabbit. The alleged horns are tumors.

    Well, I guess unicorns, Nessie and Bigfoot are still up.

  11. Re:Hmmmmm. on Pirate Bay To Offer VPN For $7 a Month · · Score: 1

    It's like being accused of being a drug dealer because people buy drugs off your site, and, in response, you offer a method for people to make private transactions.

    If you mean "buying from their site" in eBay-like way this is an accurate comparison, otherwise it is misleading, since the users are the actual responsibles for the "drug sales".

  12. Re:Another good reason. on The Underappreciated Risks of Severe Space Weather · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily.

    You don't need to disconnect of the grid. It's good to be able to disconnect, but what is important is that people don't depend too much on eletricity(or anything else), so they can live without it in case of something disasterrific happens. It is not limited to sun radiation, it could be a war or something.

    I wonder if government will ever take any precautions.

    They didn't about the financial crisis.

    It seems a lot less painful after it heals. Also, you get a cool scar to show to others.

    Back then it was way better.

    I believe it associates an specific accoun with an specific copy of the game, so only the first account to associate with the code of this game copy will be enabled

    Probably the keep a database of registered games+accounts so they deny the registration of several accounts with a single game code.

    On the other side, it's always annoying the need of connecting to internet to register an offline game.

    I have friends that don't have internet access. Few years ago even I didn't. Also, an ISP subscription is an extra cost, which not everyone is willing to pay.

    They should provide an alternative(which I doubt they will now).

  19. Re:"shake like a polaroid" ? on Sun Puts Data Center Through 6.7 Earthquake · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dry??? That's a myth equivalent to those who think snakes are slimy. Neither snakes nor polaroids are wet. Both are dry to the touch.

    Mythbusters can prove that a snake is slimy...with explosives!!!

    OK, so:

    With the amount of experience their [professional experts overseeing the experiment] have causing explosions, I'm curious why they were unable to predict the size of this one in particular ...

    He could as well end up with a +5 troll, but I'm uncertain about that.

    I always lie, therefore I would have to answer "false" to "I do not always tell the truth."

    Why do I get the feeling that other than that one question their test would show me to be a model employee?

    Wait. You say you always lie, but if this is truth you are lying and you always say the truth. But if you always say the truth you wouldn't say you lie and you would still answer false. But then they would assume you to be lying, like you said you always do. But if... nevermind.

    Sigh... I want a cake...
