  3. thr real question on An Electron Microscope For Your Home? · · Score: 2, Funny

    > So easy a grade-schooler could use it

    The real question is:
    Is it easy enough that a caveman can do it?

  4. Re:Just like alcohol then! on Nanomedicine Kills Brain Cancer Cells · · Score: 1

    no because alcohol (in the blood) does not kill brain cells, it deactivates/slows them due to the poison.

  5. Asimov predicted this on Penny-Sized Nuclear Batteries Developed · · Score: 1

    now we can have nuclear handguns

    and forcefield generators the size of walnuts!

    asimov predicted this to happen, but a couple billions years ahead of time :/

  6. Re:US Intelligence on Report Claims Iran Has Data To Build a Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    It's Probably a ploy not to go to war, at the moment the USA is extremely pacifistic about war now that its in 2 different countries. going to a 3rd wouldn't make popularity of war any good.

    though any country who doesn't want Iran with nukes should declare war... its like the time before ww2 all over again... just without nukes

    so is Iran going to use them? well unlike alot of different countries, Iran is active saying they would attack different countries, or make threats (like to the USA and Israel) additionally the fact that the government doesn't represent the people only gives reinforcement to that.

    Piss!

  11. geo engineering on Climate Change Bill Includes IP Protections · · Score: 1

    As long as they dont screw around with the environment trying to "fix" what we dont know is broken, then im happy

    That is of course if im not forced to wear white everything, breath at a certain rate, exercise at certain times, eat certain foods, and other things that generate greenhouse gases (co2 and methane) im fine.

    But seriously, in new york i cant stall in a car. id get a $200 fine if i did.

    Speaking of climate change though, is it legal to build solar panel power plants in the US again, or is it still undergoing "environmental testing"?

  12. ummm where did captain obvious go? on Scientists Wonder What Fingerprints Are For · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "Other researchers have suggested that the ridges could increase our fingerpads' touch sensitivity."

    from TFA (sorry i can figure out how to use the quote function :/)

    how is this not obvious? where he have some sort of ridge like pattern (hands, feet) we have more sensitive nerves there. The ridges increase surface area of our skin which means we can feel more using up less volume

    the star nosed mole is the perfect example of increased surface area for more touch sensitivity.

  13. i still dont see the logic on Microsoft Will Ship Windows 7 in Europe With IE Unbundled · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If someone wants a new browser they should get it themselves. Can someone explain to me why bundling IE with windows is considered to be a trust? MS doesn't charge any money for it, and it was better than Netscape when it came out, why is it all of the sudden a trust and not a trust 15 years ago?

  14. arg why cant square enix do this?! on Metroid Prime Trilogy Being Updated For the Wii, Due In August · · Score: 1

    I really REALLY want to see squaresoft (now enix) classics like FF7 and xenogears redone to for the ps3.
    nintendo keeps doing this and makes a profit. squareenix doesn't. I don't like the bs excuse that they wouldn't like making money over a successful game twice whether. :(
    It pisses me off, its also why im not getting a ps3

  16. sounds like vegimite on Rotten Office Fridge Cleanup Sends 7 To Hospital · · Score: 5, Funny

    vegimite..... just smelling that is good enough to go to the hospital.

  17. very cheap + little material =unsafe on Tata Building $7,800 Apartments in Mumbai · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Tata cars have proven themselves to be unsafe for driving (no protection, and the car frame is too thin)

  19. Re:Boy oh boy! on Linux Reaches 1% Usage Share · · Score: 1, Insightful

    that's why there is a big focus on making it "usable" for the average "i dont know a thing about computers" people

  20. news? on Rapidshare Divulges Uploader Information · · Score: 0

    I've heard from many that rapidshare is the last place one should come to because they track the consumers. So i ask, whats new here?

  21. where does VirtualBox come in? on Oracle Top Execs Answer Sun Employee Questions · · Score: 0

    I'm sure many don't consider VirtualBox as a professional product, but what will oracle do with it? I have read no mention of what fate VirtualBox has under oracle (3 weeks ago, IBM).

    I personally love using VirtualBox since its free and simple to use. Will it be getting the axe?

  22. the rest of the world should chip in on NASA Moon Launch May Be Delayed After 2020 · · Score: -1, Troll

    China Russia and Iran are supposedly stealing all of our secrets and technologies, why should the US be funding all of this if the rest of the world gets it free of charge(via theft)?

  25. Re:not really.. on Microsoft Ending Mainstream Support For XP · · Score: 1

    No more new graphics drivers updates? No new versions of .net. no chance to upgrade to IE8 (i don't believe in that though.) No new silverlight updates? No new service pack updates for office and similar programs?

                    Oh. But i can name you two bugs that really DO bug people.
    - processes that require you to force terminate after auto shutdown
    - Windows update doesn't work on XP, it only works on IE.

    i agree that its nothing special, but i think its that MS doesn't know/doesn't feel like fixing it :/ from what i know, those two features aren't a problem in Vista
