  1. Re:We had one on Return of the Bubble Car? (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Anybody here old enough to remember the King Midget four-wheeler? Tom McCahill reviewed it for Mechanics Illustrated. To back up, you simply opened the door, stuck your foot out, and pushed. You can Google it. Me, I drive a 2012 Mitsubishi i-Miev. A four-passenger BEV, cost me $7000 from Carmax. Sun-powered by the 6 kw on my garage roof. A full-functioning automobile, great for getting around town and just fine on the interstate highway.

  2. No, Magazines are for storing ammunition on a 19th Century warship.

  3. Re:The Naked Ape; The Selfish Gene on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Books You Wish You Had Read Earlier? · · Score: 1

    I like The Selfish Gene very much, especially because Dawkins cites me in it. The Naked Ape, not so much.

  4. In New Mexico, judges are thinking of using much methods when deciding to hold a defendant without bail, grant bail, or release on own recognizance.

  5. Yep. Fortran IV, I think it was. Univ of Wisconsin, summer '65. Learned it to analyze my field data (anthro, Trinidad). I had so much fun with it I considered changing from anthro to computer science, but my then wife would have killed me -- and she would have been fully justified.

  6. Re: No, because it FUCKING FAKE NEWS AGAIN on Mike Pence Used His AOL Email For Indiana State Business -- and It Got Hacked (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Clinton had a private server; Pence used AOL. Isn't there a difference as to hackibility?

  7. That expression seems close to an oxymoron. Shouldn't they be called "planetologists"?

  8. Digital Camshaft on Camless Internal Combustion and the Digital Age (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    I think I'll wait for the digital crankshaft.

  9. Re:Butterfly Ballot not Supreme Court decided 2000 on Perfect Coin-Toss Record Broke 6 Clinton-Sanders Deadlocks In Iowa (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    I have two words to say to you: Katherine Harris.

  10. Whence Warfare? on An Ancient, Brutal Massacre May Be the Earliest Evidence of War · · Score: 1

    What really riles groups of people up, all the way to murderous rage, is the belief, right or wrong, that they are under threat -- of attack, of poaching, of losing land or cattle or water, etc. If that's correct, then warfare among hunters and gatherers would be relatively rare, while warfare among horticulturalists would be relatively common. The correlation between being predators and being warriors is essentially zero.
