  1. Re:Encryption on SETI Is 50 Years Old; No Sign of ET · · Score: 0

    Wouldn't all alien communication appear encrypted anyways? I mean, it's not like we are going to understand it. That's not the point of the SETI project. The point is to find ANY signal that appears to be the result of intelligent, technological life.

    That's a picture of the toy, but those aren't Smith and Wesson .380's. Those are Glock Subcompacts like G26 or G27s.

  3. Re:That's fine but... on The World's First Commercially Available Jetpack · · Score: 0

    That's fine but.... Why is everyone complaining?!? Now I can fly like Superman!!! Up, up, and away! Well, err... not faster than a speeding bullet... Oh ok. I'll wait for the Mk II model.

  4. Re:Hydrophopic on New "Hairy" Material Is Almost Perfectly Hydrophobic · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This is THE most racist post I have ever seen on /. . I hate it when people like you do crap like this and call it being racially aware.... I hate racism. I hate racists. Somebody ban this racist idiot please.

    Well at least this one's not radioactive, so it's perfectly safe!

    Think of the explosion as a harmless fireworks show.

  12. Re:Education's sake? on Kids Score 40 Percent Higher When They Get Paid For Grades · · Score: 1

    Precisely. I don't know anyone that goes to school for any reasons other than "because my mom makes me" and "so I can make lots of money". This experiment makes perfect sense. People tend to work harder for concrete, external rewards rather than abstract, internal rewards.

  13. Re:No one seems to have mentioned this....... on How Do You Greet an Extraterrestrial? · · Score: 1

    Well no other species on Earth is intelligent enough to ponder such high thoughts either, so you can't use that to support your argument.

    Our only option now would be to nuke the planet and hide underground and make it look like we are dead...

  20. Re:Ridiculous on California May Reduce Carbon Emissions By Banning Black Cars · · Score: 1

    Oh and the extra heat in the atmosphere (bounced off of lighter color cars) will only add to extra heat in the environment. Instead of the car soaking up heat, we will have extra ambient heat. That can't be good...

  21. Ridiculous on California May Reduce Carbon Emissions By Banning Black Cars · · Score: 1

    This is the most retarded thing I've EVER heard out of politics... In what ways is this protecting people's freedom or rights (FYI, that's what government is for)? This is the worst thing since the RIAA. I'ld never drive a black car just because of this, but what about people who don't care about the heat? Sure, it's 8 F warmer than a white or silver car, but this is just plain stupid. Find a better way to capture CO2 from the air and stop taking stuff away from folks. Next thing you know, they will try to make you reshingle your roof because it's a dark color. I mean... #### you and the high horse you rode in on.

  25. Violent people do violent things... on German Police Union Chief Wants Violent Game Ban After Shooting · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ok guys. Here's the secret... Violent people (read: people with a tendency towards violence) do violent things. People with violent tendencies are DRAWN to more violent forms of entertainment. This is not to say that the form of entertainment is the cause. Millions of people around the world do not kill people the day after they play CS:S. I am also not saying that just because you have violent tendencies that playing CS:S or watching "Silence of the Lambs" or "Halloween" will cause you to go out and shoot, eat, or stab people. The people that do stuff like this are simply violent due to some freak coincidental chain of events that happened in their lives and the choices they made to cope with those events. Parents need to teach their children how to cope with stuff going wrong... But even if they fail that responsibility, it doesn't warrant the person committing such acts to do so. Nor does it warrant the government to ban these forms of entertainment for the general public. (Or people "targeted with violent tendencies" for that matter.)
