  1. Re:Why? on Bitcoin Inventor Satoshi Nakamoto Outed By Newsweek · · Score: 1

    The loss of money is still the involvement of money.

  2. Re:-_- on Tesla Model S Caught Fire While Parked and Unplugged · · Score: 3, Informative

    A entire car line was recalled for catching fire for no reason earlier last year. People got in hi-speed wrecks and caused fires, happening to be in a Tesla. The latter gets coverage, the former gets hardly any. No spin from what I can see here, just a disproportionate coverage on a car that's already in the spotlight.

  3. Re:What's the difference? on Facebook Debuts New Gender Options, Pronoun Choices · · Score: 1

    What about genetic abnormalities? XXY? XYY? What about those who have Androgen insensitivity syndrome, where they exhibit superficially female organs and female secondary sex characteristics, but are genetically male?

    Additionally, you've also mistaken sex for gender, which is a longer post that I'm too lazy to write.

  4. Re:Energy transfer efficiency? on Tesla Would Be Proud: Wireless Charging For Electric Cars Gets Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    But you do use more power than if you used network cables. I think that's what he was getting at.

  5. Re:Not as strange as it sounds on State Rep. Says Biking Is Not Earth Friendly Because Breathing Produces CO2 · · Score: 1

    Well, it would be more fair to include the carbon footprint of producing the gas. Including the footprint of bus production would be the equivalent of including the footprint to produce the bike.

  6. Re:Magical Black Boxes on Full Review of the Color TI-84 Plus · · Score: 1

    And I really wouldn't mind that. Drivers should understand at least the basics of pistons, power braking/steering, and momentum, I think.

  7. Re:He who archives my tweets on Library of Congress Offers Update On Huge Twitter Archive Project · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Some of the most important historical knowledge comes from things that people at the time wouldn't consider important. Things like grocery lists can help determine the diets and agricultural abilities of a culture at the time.

    For an example I just made up: In the future, the presence or lack of traffic reports could, alongside legal/budget records, help a historian verify the spread/development of roadways.

    Twitter could be a huge source of topics and a wealth of information for historians in the future.

    They may conclude that we were all idiots. This too, counts as useful information.

  8. Re:Simple solution on 'The Hobbit' Pub Threatened With Lawsuit · · Score: 4, Informative

    Dungeons and Dragons before it was bought by Wizards of the Coast.

  9. Chopping off the head... on LulzSec Leader Sabu Unmasked, Arrested and Caught Collaborating · · Score: 1

    They're chopping off the head of an organization that's hasn't operated as a discrete entity for around 9 months?

    Or have I missed something? Has Lulzsec operated as Lulzsec (and not part of the overarching Anonymous movement) recently?

  10. Re:Alex is Dead? on Mathematical Parrot Reveals His Genius With Posthumous Paper · · Score: 3, Informative

    He's been dead for years. For four years, even.

  11. Re:They had it comming on Anonymous Claims Responsibility For WikiLeaks Attack · · Score: 1

    Sorry for the double post, but to put it another way:

    If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it probably isn't a cat, even if it insists so.

  12. Re:They had it comming on Anonymous Claims Responsibility For WikiLeaks Attack · · Score: 1

    I don't see how that applies. I never pointed out a specific behaviour, for one thing; just that there is a certain minimum set of parameters to meet to be reasonably considered 'Anonymous.'

    That is, my statement is closer to "No Scotsman doesn't have roots in Scotland"; if someone claims to be Scottish but doesn't exhibit the core of the definition save for affecting a bad accent, then they're just playing at being Scottish.

  13. Re:They had it comming on Anonymous Claims Responsibility For WikiLeaks Attack · · Score: 1

    Not entirely true; claiming to be Anonymous while not acting and behaving in a particular manner is like a pale skinny asian kid trying to call himself a jock while trying to keep his glasses from sliding down his nose.

  14. That's why things were better... on Human Brain Places Limit On Twitter Friends · · Score: 1

    See? This is why the first generation of pokemon was the best!

  15. Re:As the saying goes... on Does Quantum Theory Explain Consciousness? · · Score: 1

    The 'joke'/wordplay here is that Quantum mechanics often appears to be 'magic' (or dreams) which form the basis of reality (stuff).

  16. Re:Wanted on News Corp. Looking To Sell MySpace · · Score: 3, Informative

    Turd Polishing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiJ9fy1qSFI

    How much do the Mythbusters crew make per episode?

  17. Re:Trouble parsing this on Ceglia Sues For 50% Facebook, Old Emails as Evidence · · Score: 1

    No luck here. One of us has stopped understanding English, and I'm sure it isn't me...

  18. Re:Science does require faith on Is Science Just a Matter of Faith? · · Score: 2

    So Thomas could have been a remarkable scientist, then!

  19. Re:110 Months on Hacker Posts His Crime On YouTube, Lands In Jail · · Score: 1

    Gonna kill a joke by explaining it, but dealing with crack cocaine can get you 6-20 years.

  20. 110 Months on Hacker Posts His Crime On YouTube, Lands In Jail · · Score: 1

    That's not that bad. People could get much worse for having the police catch them with crack in their home!

  21. Re:How about glass on Pepsi Moving To Bottles Made of Plant Material · · Score: 1

    We aren't throwing rocks into landfills with nearly as much regularity.

    We also have biodegradable plastics.

  22. Re:How about glass on Pepsi Moving To Bottles Made of Plant Material · · Score: 1

    Glass is heavy -- means higher transportation costs, higher damages to the envireonment thereof.
    Glass is nonbiodegradeable -- Good recycling, bad for the more likely event that it just gets thrown away, or dumped on the side of the street

  23. Veteran is easier, I think on Can You Beat a Computer At Rock-Paper-Scissors? · · Score: 1

    If you think about it, Veteran mode is easier; all you have to do is try to think counter to what a 'normal person' would do.

    13-7-6 on Veteran

    8-9-9 on Novice

    Hardly scientific, but yeah.

  24. Re:An don't forget the reverse on Online Multiplayer Games On TI Calculators? · · Score: 1

    And then we'll run chat programs on calculators we've built in Minecraft!

  25. Cybercheating? on 61.9% of Undergraduates Cybercheat · · Score: 1

    Of course not! I would never cybercheat on my cybertests. Those cyberessays are just too vital to my growth as a cyberstudent. Cybercheating would be a cyberdisgrace to my cyberhonor.
