  1. Mobile drug test on X Prize Foundation Wants AI Physician On Every Smartphone · · Score: 1

    Immediately proceeding this app will be the mobile drug test app. Just pee on your phone and see what color it turns.

  3. Re:American "Freedom" on Tweeting From the Front Line · · Score: 1

    Can we change the mod points from "-1 Troll" to "-1000 Douchebag" I'd say about 95% of the military is smarter than you. Trust me I'm very smart and had no problem risking my body so you could have the freedom to be a douchebag

    [quote]If you have 'that' much free time on your hands in a war zone, as a solider, to be updating your profile and status on social networks several times a day, you probably have absolutely zero business being there in the first place.[/quote] Back in OIF I & II this may have been the case. But for most people over there now it's sustainment, so when you have your day or two off a week you actually do have some free time to do things like this. And it's getting that way for OEF also. I was in OIF 3 & 4 and during 4 we had more time to do these things during our off hours. It does help to greatly improve morale which directly improves your work ethic. Less people getting depressed about not talking to people at home is less visits to the med shack, which is less medication, which is happier soldiers when they go home and continue their life.

    Never walk around with your passport when you don't have to. Leave it locked in the hotel safe, take a photocopy if you need it.

    Exactly but at least take a photocopy if you are in a country that if you get arrested have no limits on how much they can beat you for interrogation (I think they only reserve this for us Americans tho :) ) When I was in Kuwait tho I carried my passport on me everyday just in case.

    In the Navy and Army they are still banned on all systems, don't know about the other branches. The original cause for the ban was due to a virus but now they are keeping the ban indefinitely, for security and for future viruses.

  9. Weather on Solar-Powered Plane Makes First Successful Flight · · Score: 1

  12. Degradation or women?? on Apple Bans Sexy Apps, Developers Upset · · Score: 1

    Last I checked Sports Illustrated isn't trafficking women forcing them to pose in swimsuits. These women make their own choice to pose for these thing. Just because some conservative women don't like it who cares.
