  1. Re: Lol. on US School Installs 'Shooter Detection' System · · Score: 0

    I hope you're kidding. I very much doubt this technology is limited to sound recognition. To casually bring in a speaker capable of the volume of a gunshot is laughable in the least. Not to mention, many gunshot sounds effects you find are bound to sound nothing like the real thing.

  2. Certainly will be interesting: on New Medical Camera the Size of a Grain of Salt · · Score: 0

    In terms of business and certain privacy concern intensive work, the constant shrinking of recording technology like cameras and the increasing undetectability of such devices makes for an interesting future, as far as secrets and company trust is concerned.

    Then again, we can generally hope that as the technology to make these devices advances, so does the technology to be able to find them.

  3. Re:Lack of empathy on Man Pays $200,000 To Save Fake Online Girlfriend · · Score: 0

    The lesson here appears to be, if you're capable of scamming people online, then you deserve the money and your victims are morons.

    I don't think the issue here is whether or not the person doing the scamming deserves to have the money, but whether or not the person being scammed deserves to have that money. If you're stupid enough to *ever* wire money to Nigeria nowadays (Nigerian royalty, anyone?), you give that money up right away.

  4. The economy's getting worse... on Man Pays $200,000 To Save Fake Online Girlfriend · · Score: 0

    It's hard to believe stupid tax is getting as high as $200,000 these days.

  5. I stopped reading at... on Drug Catapult Found At US-Mexico Border · · Score: -1

    According to a Fox News report.

  6. We did it again. on Gecko Inspired Robot Climbs Walls at Stanford · · Score: 2, Funny

    Robots that can climb walls, you don't say? Well, I suppose that makes it easier for them to climb into our bedrooms at night to kill us. It'll make the robot uprising that much quicker.

  7. I need no excuse to listen to Heifetz perform, but on Scottish Scientists Develop Whisky Biofuel · · Score: 0

    For this most special occasion, I shall indulge myself to listen to Scottish Fantasy by Max Bruch, for that's what this seems to be.

  8. Missing the point... on Cow Clicker Boils Down Facebook Games · · Score: 0

    Facebook games do often seem a simple waste of time, and as they may be simple, approaching them from this perspective is a bit unfair. What is any game but a long sequence of taps and clicks? All any game on Facebook, Farmeville, Mafia Wars, etc., is only a simpler sequence.

  9. A good investment on Buy Your Own Tron Lightcycle For $35,000 · · Score: 0

    If only five of these bikes are ever going to be sold, it sounds like a good investment. There's always the chance that Tron: Legacy is a terrible movie and you end up with a replica of something from a terrible movie no one cares about, but hey, investments are gambles, right?

  10. Re:Do not just type. Do something to help him! on Russian Whistleblower Cop Arrested · · Score: 0

    You bring up a good point about the Russians as a whole. Yes, there are plenty of them that are good people, but you can find good people in any country. I don't think "reporter" meant to insult the people of Russia, but its government ONLY, a field in which America is still winning. Hey, I wish it was different, but it isn't.

  11. Really? on NVIDIA Predicts 570x GPU Performance Boost · · Score: 0, Troll

    So does this mean in 6 years, the average core clock of a GPU in Megahertz will be... OVER 9000?!?!
