    He'd get a better shot if he didn't hide around the corner of a building...

    How many camera stands do you freaking need? The "camera" is crouched round the corner in this timeframe, what are these guys doing with these "camera stands"? Why don't you count and tell me how many people are carrying cameras and/or camera stands

  3. Re:I don't see the problem on Wikileaks Releases Video of Journalist Killings · · Score: 2, Interesting

    4:15 - 4:19 is also interesting although a second of our vision is obscured by the crosshair. Why is that indivdual crouching at a building corner and fiddling with something and then looks like he picks is up and points it. I'm not defending any actions here or trying to justify anything, I'm just pointing out some suspicious looking activity in the film. Does anyone know why these journalists were with so many men? Obviously some of them armed?

    3:40-4:00 on the film. Those long dark things being carried, and towards the end you see what appears to be a very long tube being carried. Those aren't cameras

  5. Flea Market Analysis on Android's "Flea Market" Needs Urgent Attention · · Score: 0

    The market for the iPhone and Droid, who would purchase either are quite a bit different. Apple users are quite used to paying premiums for things that not only look nice but have had a lot of extra fringy things added. They pay a premium for this. The Android market on the other hand is more about open source, freeware, rough around the edges apps that more technically savvy users can work with. The markets are drawing different customers which also means different developers and different pricing.

    That's just how fast it is.

  10. We're only now learning to interpret brain signals on Magnetism Can Sway Man's Moral Compass · · Score: 1

    We now have electrode setups that can interpret signals from the brain to control computer inputs, it is simply a matter of time before we're able to not only read, but write. This experiment is crude, like taking a piece of graphite and smearing it onto the right upper edge of a piece of paper. I envision soon after we perfect the reading of the signals we'll gain enough understanding to be able to influence and write those signals as well, with a fine point pen. Repeat offenders no more... addictions? no more. Reading slashdot at work? oh boy.

  24. Re:What if cancer cells are a symptom? on RNA-Loaded Nanoparticles Fight Cancer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually I'll add to that and say that cancer could be seen as a benefit to our species. Having a faster reproductive rate increases the spread of our genes and therefore quickening our evolutionary rate as a species, in a world of limited resources it's best to kill off the resource consumers who can no longer produce offspring. Nature and evolution aren't here to benefit your grandparents... sorry.

  25. Re:What if cancer cells are a symptom? on RNA-Loaded Nanoparticles Fight Cancer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Cancer is simply a mistake in the copying process of cells. Typically this is brought on by aging, most old people have some cancer in them even if it doesn't end up being the thing that kills them. Since human reproduction occurs under 40 years or so cancer resistance is not something we've improved with evolution. If humans reproduced at the age of 10 we'd probably see cancers develop in our 20 and 30's. If humans reproduced in the 80-90's we wouldn't see cancers until we're in our 100's. It's simply a fact of our reproduction system and evolution that we've developed little reason to exist after our reproductive cycle has ended and therefore our bodies fail us.
