  1. Re:Tax the hell out of social media and then see.. on Study Finds Social Media Harder To Resist Than Cigarettes, Alcohol · · Score: 1

    yeah right. even if it was less than 1 cent per post, the government wouldn't know what to do with all the money that would generate.

    except you'll be looking at them on a computer screen at three feet distance inside your existence cube.

  3. Re:Wrong answer... on Some Critics Suggest Apple Boycott Over Chinese Working Conditions · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the cost of shipping all the components manufactured by different companies in China make this difficult? Shipping one screen from company x, one hard drive from company y, etc to California would add up. Or am I way off on this?

    turn around twice then back away cautiously, never breaking eye contact with the beast.

    HDMI cords are sold separately.

    don't forget it's also just another forced upgrade cycle for people holding on to their electronics for more than 5 years.

    so is that HDMI 2.0 then? i didn't think that was out yet...

  12. Re:Wait a minute. on Researchers Create "Mighty Mouse" With Gene Tweak · · Score: 1

    any tissue that is maintained by a population of resident adult stem cells (like skeletal muscle) can only be maintained through a finite number of adult stem cell divisions. at a certain point the telomeres of the DNA get chopped down too far and those cells that have "overdivided" become quiescent, ie: they won't divide any more. this results in that tissue losing the ability to maintain itself.

    so the results of this are interesting, but we can only add this gene to the long list of genes that have been identified as "brakes" on tissue growth but have not turned out a practical use yet.

    however, for now, professional baseball players and other elite athletes can cross their fingers that some drug compound can be identified to block NCOR1.

  13. Re:State Of Mind on Nokia Exec: Young People Fed Up With iPhone and Android · · Score: 1

    actually, the data is further skewed because we do not look at individual numbers of iphone 4s, 4, 3gs (and so forth) on the market.

  14. Re:zzzzzzzzz... on NTSB Recommends Cell Phone Ban For Drivers · · Score: 1

    and a whoosh to you sir. just a little joke to highlight the fact that many other causes of accidents go relatively unpunished but can be argued to be caused by equally negligent behaviour. lots of accidents occurred prior to the rise of cell phone use in the car. i do not condone cell phone use while driving, nor continuing to drive when exhausted.

  15. zzzzzzzzz... on NTSB Recommends Cell Phone Ban For Drivers · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    what about when i fall asleep at the wheel cause i'm not allowed to talk on the phone which helps keep me awake???

  23. next logical step on BMW Working On Laser Headlamps · · Score: 2

    why the hell are lasers for headlights the next logical step? i think everyone agrees that headlights all do their job adequately given the limitation of not being allowed to completely blind oncoming traffic. the next LOGICAL step (assuming we are trying move in the direction of eliminating visibility issues/unknown elements from nighttime driving) should be to have some kind of sonar/radar device that can detect and relay a warning to the driver...maybe by having a terminator-esque translucent LED screen overlay on the windshield that would highlight things out of range of the regular headlights (eg: deer getting ready to pop out of the forest). if BMW customers are willing to pay for frickin' laser beams then surely they'd pay for this.
