  1. Re:IANACS, so could someone explain? on Scientists Cryo-Freeze Coral Reef · · Score: 1

    Not long ago I saw a documentary about the evolution of coral. It discussed how there are only a handful of species and the rest are a hybrid mix of those. They explained how these "true" corals were very resilient and could survive when others died off; then when conditions permitted the other hybrids would return. They also discussed how ocean levels aided in the propagation of the corals, and allowed them to spread.

  2. Re:Too late :( on Scientists Cryo-Freeze Coral Reef · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Here is a cool trick, in the Summer take a hand full of M&M's, dive to the bottom of a pool and take a look. If you have more than about 4 feet of water over you you will not be able to tell the red from the blue. Red wavelengths of light are generally filtered out after a meter or so of water. The deeper you go the more color gets lost.

  3. Occupy Wall Street on $50,000 To Solve the Most Complicated Puzzle Ever · · Score: 2

    Just another example of college kids not getting paid enough for their skills. A puzzle solver fresh out of college should be making three times that at least.

  6. Re:How is this different? on AT&T's Metered Billing Off By Up To 4,700% · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Another problem here in the US, like said before, we lack choice. Where I live my choices are TW cable or ATT, with those options they can both screw me knowing that the other option is no better.

  7. killing Netflix on AT&T's Metered Billing Off By Up To 4,700% · · Score: 1

    Won't metering internet usage be very damaging to companies like Netflix and youtube that rely on people using the internet to do things like watch movies?

  10. Re:My Face on Your Face Will Soon Be In Facebook Ads · · Score: 0

    But, is it facebook that is using the image or is it the advertising company? I think facebook may have to re-issue their terms and conditions to cover their 6 on this.

    I hope they have a theater where you can watch other theaters, or your own.

  13. So long BFG on BFG Exiting Graphics Card Market · · Score: 0

    With so many companies making identical cards for nearly identical prices, eventually a few of them were bound to drop out due to loss of profit. It is a shame it had to BFG to drop out first. Their cards held up to noob overclocking very well.

  14. Was this warning nesicary for microsoft? on Microsoft Warns of Windows 7 Graphics Flaw · · Score: 0

    Before Microsoft issued this warning, how many people had found the flaw, and now that they have told the world about how many people know? Would it have not made more sense for them to silently patch the issue and not tell every person that has access to the internet? Or are they just covering their "six"?

  16. Re:Casual Gaming on Razer, Valve, and Sixense Working On Motion Control For PC Games · · Score: 1, Informative

    You would still have to get an alignment, an alignment does more than center the wheel it adjusts the steer wheels on the car, wear causes the wheels to go to an incorrect caster and camber angle.

  18. Re:You can shoot people, son, but don't blog! on US Marine Corps Bans Social Networking Sites · · Score: 0

    I believe you are mostly correct While I was stationed at MCAS Mirimar There was a huge problem with every one always being on thease sites all the time. You get the few slackers that don't want to do anything and every time they get a chance they sneak off and jump on myspace. So i think it is good that they are going to try and stop this it needs to be done. People don't raise there kids with the idea that you work at work not play. Also Being a Marine I believe in shoot first ask questions later.

  19. awesome on Sticky Tape Found To Emit Terahertz Radiation · · Score: 0

    How do I get the job where I think of things to test to see if they do random other things and how much does it pay. I would like to start by seeing if removing the lid from my polar pop produces microwaves so that I can cook my under cooked gas station hot dog.

    I'm so glad I live in America where instead of finding ways to make life easier and safer and all around better we just sue each other. I can't wait to get my first lawsuit.

    That is an impressive gain. I wish they would have tested it against other thermal compounds though, I hate arctic silver it is to conductive and I'm to twitchy.

  22. Re:nope on Microsoft Acknowledges Linux Threat To Windows · · Score: 0

    people not being afraid of change is why the US doesn't use the metric system, right. I mean it is taught in school they now it but won't change because it is not what they are used to dealing with. Besides Ubuntu is an easier operating system it would allow the lazy to be lazier in the long run.
