    Like the 'gay is a choice' promoters would have us believe, perhaps we can "Save' the misled religious folk, and show them the path to true non-stupidity.

  10. Re:Equal parts excitement and antipathy on New Sunlight Reactor Produces Fuel · · Score: 2

    Did anyone note the 15% efficiency?

      Not exactly rocking that boat, not clear that it is cheaper to implement than photocells, useless at home. Interesting, and maybe addresses a way to turn the sunlight into tankers of liquid fuel, but ....

  11. Re:Irrelevant .... on Cosmological Constant Not Fine Tuned For Life · · Score: 1

    Regarding your last paragraph about multiple incompatible religions, it is only true if one assumes a single, non-schizophrenic, god. Otherwise, each could be true.

    However, until science proves the necessity of god, I'll go with the infinite in time and space super universe as as simplifying assumption.

    Perhaps we could recycle some of the ions. And sell advertising. And have a bake sale.

    I suggest a kickstarter effort to acquire the Tevatron and then do cool stuff...

  17. Re:What happened to copy and paste? on EMC Engineer Steals Almost $1 Million of Kit One Piece at a Time · · Score: 1

    Being well read, with a decent vocabulary, is not restricted to the elderly. You too can aspire to adequacy.

  18. Re:What happened to copy and paste? on EMC Engineer Steals Almost $1 Million of Kit One Piece at a Time · · Score: 5, Informative

    'kit' is a well known and old term for 'stuff'. A kit bag was what (may be still is) military used for their personal stuff - razor etc. In any case, this reminds me of the story about the guy working at the factory who was seen taking wheelbarrows of trash from the premises day after day. Security could not figure out what was going on. Finally confronted the man, who eventually confessed to stealing wheelbarrows...

  22. Re:Unscientific to dismiss legends and myth ... on A Lost Civilization Beneath the Persian Gulf? · · Score: 1

    Actually I believe Hoyle coined the term 'Big Bang' as a mocking of the theory, he being a proponent of the 'steady state' theory.

  23. Not enough time on Medical Researcher Rediscovers Integration · · Score: 1

    Tai would have invented integration if he had just kept making those rectangles and triangles smaller and smaller. Such a shame that he couldn't see it through to realize a great innovation. Why doesn't our government support these researchers adequately? How many other creations that could touch our daily lives have been lost?
