  1. Re:wow. on BC Scraps Mandatory Video Game Ratings · · Score: 1

    Just wait until the BC Marijuana Party gets elected. I really think they're going to get a lot of votes next time around :)

  2. Warning! on BBC's Water Rocket-Vehicle Contest · · Score: 1

    Pop bottles and bike pumps can be dangerous. Last time those two came together I ended up with quite a lump on noggin. Just thankfull that the lead nosecone wasn't on at the time :)

  3. 3-dimensional storage on Scotch Tape Storage · · Score: 1

    Nobody seems to have picked up on the real significance of this form of storage. All conventional forms of storage are limited to only using 2 dimensions for storing data. This new technology is essentially a form of 3 dimensional storage, even though I realize that the roll of tape itself is made from a bunch of "2-D" layers. Even if the tape-drive isn't feasable, then something using the same principles will be. With a bit of research I'm sure manufactures can produce even thiner tapes, and that researches can figure out how to put even more data on each roll. We live in a 3 dimensional world, why not use them all?
