  1. Pizza delivery on MIT Researchers Develop Autonomous Indoor Robocopter · · Score: 2, Funny

    Did no one else see this vital application use?

  2. Re:Agreed? on D&D Handbook Distribution Lawsuit Settled For $125,000 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sometimes it just comes down to the lawyer's plus to charisma.

  3. Re:Cool on Facial Bones Grown From Fat-Derived Stem Cells · · Score: 1

    A brain has never been actively tested in a body that does not age. The brain will stay young longer if the body stays young and can continue to provide it what it needs to function correctly.

  4. "Now we're getting somewhere" on Canadian Copyright Lobby Fights Anti-Spyware Legislation · · Score: 1

    reported a man who had been following the bill. "Soon we're hoping to pass laws that will prohibit the distribution of malware, drugs, and fatal blows to the face."

  5. Bad odor on Scientists Write Memories Directly Into Fly Brains · · Score: 5, Funny

    The scientists later discovered that even fly's without this injected memory avoided the odor. One man was quoted saying "It smelled pretty bad."

  6. Re:Lots of tweaking required (in general) on Image Recognition Neural Networks, Open Sourced · · Score: 1

    Oh, i [].

  7. Re:Illusion on In-Game Advertising Makes Games Better? · · Score: 1

    Sure, it would create the illusion of being more realistic, but is being realistic that important? I wouldn't want to watch a 30 second commercial, or have to take a dump in a game. I think the reason people think "the more realistic, the better" is because games that attempt to portray realist settings are unattractive if they fail to do that. However, games that go out and attempt to make something surreal are pretty damn cool.

  8. Better game control approach on Contest Winners Show Potential For Pressure-Sensitive Keyboard · · Score: 1

    In this video a game control approach is shown. They should instead use the direction keys' sensitivity values to determine derive a ratio between to keys, and use it to determine the direction. So if I push up twice as hard as I am pushing left, (up=2 left=1) then I will go at tan(angle) = 2/1, or in other words, closer to the up direction. You could have seperate keys for speed. Also, has the idea for a pressure sensitive mouse been made?

  9. Imagining entropy on Universe Has 100x More Entropy Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    Imagine what the universe will look like when the entropy has gone, lets say half way between now and heat death. It must be: a) Extremely random and unimaginable b) The exact same with extremely random black holes that pull the average up. Or does the increasing level of entropy in a black hole effect the outside of that black hole? Maybe the entire universe will be one massive black hole to account for every atom in the universe being completely random... I feel the entropy in my brain increasing... ugh

  10. Arguments on Early Look At EVE Creators' DUST 514 · · Score: 1

    This game will be a spark for many arguments. I've heard dozens of arguments about how to defeat a boss in wow, even though there is usually only one correct way to defeat him. Now people will have to take opinionated orders from a player leader while they attack the other team, and it might be interesting if they can choose to defy those orders.

  11. Just discovered? on Miniature Stonehenge Discovered In Wiltshire, UK · · Score: 1

    So the site was only 1 mile away from Stonehenge, along a path directly from it, with 27 holes each made by a 4 ton rock? The holes must have been preserved seeing as the blue remains of the rocks still remained in them. What's next, additional pyramid discoveries?

  12. Who knows? on Radio-Controlled Cyborg Beetles Become Reality · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe these things will be moving by themselves soon...

  13. Re:The technology isn't important on Carbon Nanotube Solar Cells On the Horizon · · Score: 1

    Hey I have a solar cell that costs 0.00000001 cent. Sweet. Sure its only 0.00001% energy efficient, but that's not what's important, right?

  14. Re:So it's a fnacy nmae on Schooling, Homeschooling, and Now, "Unschooling" · · Score: 1

    In a couple decades or so the world will not need ditch diggers. Nor will it need any kind of manual labor or systematical thinking types of jobs. Its a thing called robots. Send all the stupids to a virtual reality. That is, if there are any left with all the new learning, sorry, uploading techniques we will come up with.

  15. Re:Krugman's prognostication skills aren't all tha on Charlie Stross, Paul Krugman Discuss the Future · · Score: 1

    I'm just glad they addressed nanotechnology, virtual reality and fusion reactors, but who cares about that stuff? Soon we'll have self piloting cars, and better kitchens!
