  1. Re:Calling BS on Bullet-Proof Sheets of Carbon Nanotubes · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's not about resistive losses. It's about weight. Also carbon nanotubes haven't benefited from any economy of scale efficiencies, and hence the cost is likely to be much less once they are able to be manufactured in quantity. It's not like carbon is a rare material.

  2. Re:Did Singh really say anything bogus about the B on In Britain, Better Not Call It Bogus Science · · Score: 1

    So, if I go around Britain saying that Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are murdering, blood-drinking, child molesters, I could be found liable for libel? Funny that.

    That would be slander. For Libel to apply, it would have to be in writing. You should hand out leaflets.

  3. Re:DNA? on Maori Legend of Man-Eating Birds is True · · Score: 1

    Depends on what your idea of 'improving' the gene pool is.

    Filling it with the blood of many urbanites.

  4. Re:Viruses don't live on Creating a Quantum Superposition of Living Things · · Score: 1

    You're not executable on your own. Vacuum hurts.

    You are executable on your own. They even have a word for it. Have you ever heard of suicide?

  5. Re:The whole thing is ridiculous... on How Wired's Hiding Writer Was Found · · Score: 5, Funny

    I tried asking a Democratic reformer in China, an atheist Iranian, a member of the Tibetan independence movement and a North Korean, but none of them could think of a situation where this might be useful.

    I was hoping that they were about to walk into a bar ...

  6. Re:I'm all for it... on Sending Astronauts On a One-Way Trip To Mars · · Score: 1

    What was the overall success rate for getting a mission to mars? 50%? It'd suck to wait a year for a supply launch to be readied and launched, just to miss, and continue to drift off into space.

    They would not be firing a cannon shell at the moon, rather it would be a spacecraft. I'm pretty sure that you would send something that has the basic ability to make course corrections.

  7. Re:Falun Gang on Chinese Censor-Beating Software Resembles Malware, But Isn't · · Score: 1

    It just proves that nothing makes you forget your current troubles more than being poked with something sharp and pointy.

  8. Re:When pigs fly on After Canadian Prodding, Facebook To Change Privacy Policy · · Score: 1

    Unless you market your social network to unsavory types that find your bad reputation alluring. Kind of like that guy with the motorbike in high school that got all the chicks.
