  1. Re:Homeopathic on Growth of Pseudoscience Harming Australian Universities · · Score: 1

    But you have to let the HOT grill strain the hamburger through it's teeth!

  2. Stick to single purpose ebook readers! on The eBook Backlash · · Score: 1

    Preferably with e-ink screens and a weeks worth of battery life, an SDHC slot and support for multiple formats!

    Just for reading, no "extras".

    A thick coating of molasses will make the particles stick to the ship!

  4. Re:This is why you drop to impulse in a solar syst on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 0

    Theories like assholes, are everywhere and you can safely assume that they stink, unless you personally smell them and document the experiment with appropriate peer review.

  5. Re:Shoulda used a GuruPlug Server... on Stealthy Pen Test Unit Plugs Directly Into 110 VAC Socket (Video) · · Score: 1

    Yes, and "if found" ALL the incoming connections can be backtracked! You should only contact the device from an anonymous number!

  6. The prescription "sleep aids" I was prescribed.. on Those Sleeping Pills May Be Killing You · · Score: 1

    The prescription "sleep aids" I was prescribed didn't so spit! I kept asking and I kept getting bupkis! Nothing works like diphenhydramine (benadryl), works every time, but takes a while to kick in.

  7. Morals? HAH! on Are Rich People Less Moral? · · Score: 1

    No, rich people are not by nature less moral, they are more inclined to "bend" the (certain) law(s) (they are more likely to get away with it) but they are as aware of the morality/immorality of their actions as anybody else.

  8. "The craft is intended to replace the 1960s B-52" on US Military Working On 'Optionally-Manned' Bomber · · Score: 2

    "52" stands for 1952, "B" stands for bomber, It was introduced early in the cold war, it is a 1950's plane NOT 1960's.

  9. Re:So you need a remote for everyone in the househ on Your Next TV Interface Will Be a Tablet · · Score: 0

    So, your contention is that (regardless of weather or not I can use one) I MUST buy a tablet within five years? I tried to use a Motorola Xoom, The on screen keyboard was (for me) absolutely unusable, the screen was hard to see, and I REALLY don't like the interface (I'd rather use a 3270)! IMHO the common TV remote will be around for decades to come! (except for gadget happy kids).

  10. Re:aren't required to respect the rules? on Obama's Privacy Bill of Rights: Just a Beginning · · Score: 1

    RAH! Well written and well thought out!

  11. Re:aren't required to respect the rules? on Obama's Privacy Bill of Rights: Just a Beginning · · Score: 1

    "Bush's America was under attack" He played it up to convince the unwashed masses that a second Pearl Harbor had taken place instead of an act of criminal mass murder by religious fanatics!

    There CAN'T BE A WAR ON A TACTIC! and TERROR IS A TACTIC!

    This atrocity was seized upon by Bush like a dog snaffles up a dead bird, the perfect excuse for an executive power grab!

  12. Re:Obama signed the anti-constitution 2012 NDAA on Obama's Privacy Bill of Rights: Just a Beginning · · Score: 1

    The creeping evil that has overtaken our country these past few years will in time result in a horror so profound that even with the complicity of the corporate news media and the ignorant apathy of the public at large there will be no covering it up!

  13. "dynamical"? on Physics Is (NP-)Hard · · Score: 1

    "dynamical", not dynamic? I know it's a trivial observation but it tends to affect the veracity of the author.
    Is this (in your opinion) the correct verbiage? (just asking)

  16. Re:Won't someone think of the children? on NYC To Release Teacher Evaluation Data Over Union Protests · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yeah, let's teach these inner city kids and expect them to do as well as the children of millionaires!

    Daddy wear's his pants down around his knees, he's fathered six kids, he's twenty five years old, he can't read at a second grade level, he's unemployable and has a record. Momma has had three kids, in on public assistance, lives in public housing uses drugs and alcohol is twenty six years old and bipolar, she is a felon and is functionally illiterate!

    The kids live in a poisonous environment, constant fear, noise, violence, unstable parents who (might) speak English well enough to understand what is being said to them and kids who struggle to understand the lessons.

    Gee, do you think that Bloomberg's Park Avenue, spoiled, billionaire, candyassed mind can even begin to grasp what most of these teachers deal with!

  17. Re:Supremacy Clause on State Legislatures Attempt To Limit TSA Searches · · Score: 1

    The taxes that should have been used to maintain roads, bridges, public buildings & schools are being used to fund an ever expanding prison system to buy military equipment for local police departments (for what?) and to siphon off to fund endless, futile WARS!

    $.60 of every tax dollar is used for "defense", and very little is left for everything else, if someone wants to challenge this I can quote endless references some of which say that it's more than $.60 per dollar! It's rediculous that the defense industry lobbyists are able to keep us at war (almost) continually for the past sixty years!!

  18. Re:Supremacy Clause on State Legislatures Attempt To Limit TSA Searches · · Score: 1

    The constitution is (has become) an anachronism, a useless rag that the criminal enterprise also known as the US government chooses to invoke/disregard as is convenient to it's ends! The states run the risk military intervention if they get too 'uppity', the use of massive, disproportionate, over the top, deadly force has become the signature of the American empire!

  19. Re:I Believe It on Interrupted Sleep Might Be the Best Kind · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There seem to be some cultural aspects to this, when I expected to (when I was younger/late1960's/working) go to bed at 9PM and rise at 5AM and I expected that (naively) others in the vicinity (Chicago) would also sleep at night, I found that American Hispanics (I'm not a racist/I married one) (in particular/not exclusively) to stay up and not to even attempt nocturnal quietness until the wee hours, every night! I eventually moved and moved until I lucked out and rented what had been a garage in a very old industrial area where nobody else lived and was finally able to get some sleep.

  20. Re:at the risk of sounding stupid.. on Secret UK Network Hunts GPS Jammers · · Score: 1

    I think that (aside from grand theft) the proper application would be to prevent tracking of your own vehicle! Detect the GPS transmitter (scanners are available on-line) and remove or disable it.

    A matter of privacy, keep Big Brother out of as much as possible!

  21. Re:Bad summary: the airline, not the government on Damaged US Passport Chip Strands Travelers · · Score: 1

    This family needs an aggressive, greedy shyster to represent them in a multimillion dollar, high profile lawsuit against the airline!
