  1. Re:There is no FIRE IN SPACE YOU DUMBA on Fire Burns Differently In Space · · Score: 1

    You were joking but got close. Put the people on canned air and reduce the partial pressure of O2 until the flame dies. You can reduce the partial pressure of O2 a number of ways; reducing the over all pressure (your suggestion but not so far as vacuum);substitution of O2 with a gas that not only reduces O2 but futzes with the fire chemical reaction; chemically absorb the O2.

  4. Archiving old film. on Soon, No More Film Movie Cameras · · Score: 2

    NOBODY, is archiving old film back to film. Old film is being archived digitally. That alone is sufficient clue as to the direction film is going.

  5. Re:Solution? on Top 1% of iOS Game Developers Make a Third of All Revenue · · Score: 1

    I have to agree. It is so unfair that those greedy talented developers don't share with the less fortunate.

  8. Re:Sad, but I can see doing it too on Man Robs Bank of $1 To Get Health Care In Jail · · Score: 1

    Were you trying to make me feel stupid for not doing a "quick google"? Actually, the "facts" on your link are slanted. I suggest that you do a more thorough Google. Start with the falsehood of infant mortality. "Move on" to figuring out WHY the spending is higher in the US. Consider why rich folks from around the world come for health care in the US. Now go back to Winston Churchill's quote and think about "equal sharing of miseries." I have excellent and expensive healthcare. This is one of the reasons I have worked hard. I really don't want to be forced to share that with entitled lazy folk. Oh, and before you get the idea that I am selfish, I give a VERY SIGNIFICANT amount of MONEY (4 times the US average for my bracket and 5 times the average Democrat) and TIME to charity. My choice.

  9. Re:Sad, but I can see doing it too on Man Robs Bank of $1 To Get Health Care In Jail · · Score: 1

    First off #7 is just #5. Free health care for all sounds great to me but who is going to pay for it? Obama just put the US in debt by $800,000,000,000. If Obama stopped all the wars that he promised that he would pull out of, including his new one, the resulting savings would take 15 years to pay off that debt. And that is only if we were not paying interest on the bonds. So far the only thing that Obama has made to successfully pull out is Congressman Weiner. So again, where is this money going to come from? You list "Medicaid - which sucks" and "Medicare--which isn't the best by a longshot". What makes you think that Obamacare will be any better? It will be run by the same government that brings you this wonder. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2002793/Alabama-tornado-hit-family-denied-FEMA-grant-repair-home.html What will save this country is a mindset of personal responsibility rather than a mindset of entitlement and victim-hood. And since we are quoting Churchill: The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. -- Sir Winston Churchill

  11. What is truth? on Man Ordered At Gunpoint To Hand Over Phone For Recording Cops · · Score: 1

    The vast majority of the posts seem to take the citizen at his word with no thought that his story has any imbellishments. That's the normal /. rush to judgement. Think folks. Now go ahead and mod down the truth.

    You should do some research on the subject before you start sharing your uninformed opinion. Truly, you are simply making this up. Convicted pedophiles should be shot. That would fix the problem.

    "Companies that focus on alcohol, tobacco or firearms also get the boot." And why can't these companies be ethical? If it wasn't obvious that the list is skewed with the inclusion Microsoft then it should be clear by this auto-de-select criteria.
