  1. headphones vs buds on FAA To Allow Use of Most Electronic Devices Throughout Flights · · Score: 1

    any insight on whether the bullshit headphones rule will soon be relinquished as well???

  2. Re:Microsoft is in trouble on Gabe Newell Talks Linux As the Future of Games at LinuxCon NA · · Score: 1

    We need a /. poll to give us an idea of what that number is. I certainly fall into the category of "I would ditch windows for linux or a mac if not for the games."

  3. Re:Good on Nissan Plans To Sell Self-Driving Cars By 2020 · · Score: 1

    If you get too cold I'll tax the heat, If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

  4. Useful but... on Whole Human Brain Mapped In 3D · · Score: 1

    It would be just as or even more useful to have this 3D tool available for the commonly used animal models in research. Given the cost to do just one single brain, it won't be feasible to analyze healthy brains vs brain suffering from disease X. Even if it was feasible, identifying anatomical abnormalities in disease provides limited insight into the mechanism of the disease... these things are sorted out with other techniques that require the use of animal models. I think this is a nice teaching tool for med/health science students but has limited benefit otherwise.

  5. class action on AT&T Quietly Adds Charges To All Contract Cell Plans · · Score: 1

    deploying class action lawsuit in 3... 2... 1...

  6. Re:This is discovery of fact on You Don't 'Own' Your Own Genes · · Score: 1

    yeah it's like patenting the sun because you figured out how to make solar panels.

  7. Re:First strike! on North Korea Threatens US With Preemptive Nuclear Strike · · Score: 1

    Deploying model D-R ONE in 3...2...1...

  8. Re:Fault Irrelevant: Shows Flaw on Tesla Motors Battles the New York Times · · Score: 1

    Gas lobbyist: "Hey buddy, unless your non-gas car magically unplugs itself in the morning, that's another 5 seconds. That's 10 seconds total EVERY DAY...possibly 70 seconds per week! TOO MUCH!! BUY GAS!!"

  9. Re:On linux on 64GB MS Surface Pro Only Has 23GB of Free Space · · Score: 1

    * A mind mapping tool

    you can map...MINDS???

  10. Terrible headline on Virus Rebuilds Heart's Own Pacemaker In Animal Tests · · Score: 1

    The novelty in this work comes from using this gene to restore pacemaker function, ie: the headline should read "Delivery of the gene Tbx18 to heart rebuilds damages pacemaker cells in animal tests". Use of a virus to deliver a gene is a routine procedure in the lab and has been done thousands and thousands of times... the current headline makes it sound like some kind of virus is out there that can improve your heart function, should you happen to be sneezed on by the right person.

  11. really? on Young Students Hiding Academic Talent To Avoid Bullying · · Score: 1

    we needed a study to confirm this???

  12. Re:But that's not the real problem. on To Encourage Biking, Lose the Helmets · · Score: 1

    I don't cycle because asshole crackheads have stolen my bike on more than one occasion. Doesn't matter what kind of lock you have, in Toronto (and probably every major city) bike theft is rampant and by far the biggest deterrent for people that would otherwise like to bike to work/school.

  13. 53% on Your Moral Compass Is Reversible · · Score: 2

    of the the people in this sample were clearly RETARDED. simple.

  14. go go gadget on Could Flying Cars Actually Be On Their Way? · · Score: 1

    Personally I'd be fine with an inspector gadget style personal helicopter backpack. (http://www.distantcreations.com/blog/2009/03/10/tuesday-tech-real-versions-of-inspector-gadgets-gadgets/) Would easily suffice for daily commuting to the job and back, leaving the car off the road until needed for weekend trips with the family.

  15. this rock on Poll Finds Americans Think the TSA Is 'Doing a Good Job' · · Score: 1

    is doing a good job of keeping tigers away. you don't see any tigers around do you?

  16. Re:Brace yourselves on Windows 8 Is Ready · · Score: 1

    it's got appz?? cool. i luv apps...their so much better than programs. my phone has lots of apps.

  17. Re:Let the bitching begin.... on Windows 8 Is Ready · · Score: 1

  19. Re:Get ready on 12 Dead, 50 Injured at The Dark Knight Rises Showing In Colorado · · Score: 1

    The minimum wage kid who takes tickets and periodically sweeps the restrooms couldn't believe his job could get any worse...

  20. Re:Get ready on 12 Dead, 50 Injured at The Dark Knight Rises Showing In Colorado · · Score: 1

    Yeah you're exactly correct. Every labelled emergency exit door in a building swing out. However, I don't think anything got quoted wrong, rather the image of a gun-wielding psycho kicking in a door appealed to the media more than lazy theater staff that hadn't ensured the doors were shut tight and locked from the outside.

  21. who likes risk? on Canadian Banks Rushing To Offer Virtual Wallets · · Score: 1

    i am so not doing this. at least not until i can have my phone permanently attached at the wrist a la pipboy. too risky. your phone gets stolen, which costs $$$, plus access to banking and credit cards??? not to mention the inevitable "whoops your personal banking info was exposed on the internet, sorry!" that will happen to thousands of people when the banks get hacked, or they goof, or your phone gets some kind of malware that lifts that info... NO THANKS BANKS.

  22. Re:Grammar, on Does Grammar Matter Anymore? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unfortunately, only those who have a reasonable grasp on grammar seem to care.

  23. trailer on Valve Hands Over Its Own Movie-Making Tools To Gamers · · Score: 2

    someone make a trailer for half life 3 then. i can't wait any longer.

  24. Production costs on Game of Thrones: Bush's Head Gets a Makeover · · Score: 1

    Is this why the complete season purchase price is so much???

  25. It's all aboot knowing who you're dealing with eh. on Canadian Agency Investigates US Air Crash · · Score: 1

    Whoever ponies up a double double with a maple dip donut wins this one.
