  1. Re:Here come the science deniers on New Study Shows Marijuana Users Have Low Blood Flow To the Brain (eurekalert.org) · · Score: 1

    You posted: The problem is that too little water can also kill and I am sure many people who have died of thirst can attest to that also.

    I've died of thirst and can attest to this.

  2. Re: Who would believe it? on Researchers Claim Facebook Is 'Dead and Buried' To Many Young Users · · Score: 2

    I think you have 2 and 3 mixed up. I always thought you paid the prostitute to leave, not to sleep with you.

  3. Re:Fireworks in 3...2...1... on Satanists Propose Monument At Oklahoma State Capitol Next To Ten Commandments · · Score: 1

    I'll agree with that. We also probably will never know if he also chose Unitarianism in light of the disdain he would have received for being thought of as non-Christian.

    Sorry for the late response, and thank you for yours.

  4. Re:"With its overtly Christian message" on Satanists Propose Monument At Oklahoma State Capitol Next To Ten Commandments · · Score: 1

    As an agnostic atheist, I agree 100% with your above statement.

    (I'll also say that most theists AND atheists I've seen are all too happy to argue their own points. Believe or don't in what you wish, but please keep it to yourself.)

    Citation?

    All I can find is that he was Unitarian and did attend church.

  6. Re:Definition of "World's Fastest Man"? on The Physics of the World's Fastest Man · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't sky diving be the winner? (gravity assist for downhill count?) Or an astronaut on a spacewalk orbiting the earth. I think we're being a little pedantic here. Sure, maybe they should have said "world's fastest runner." I believe that most people would understand this if they read the article and not a one sentence title.

  7. Re:Good Omens movie? on Ask Neil Gaiman and Amber Benson About Their Kickstarter Vampire Movie · · Score: 1

    I was thinking this reading through all of these replies. My favorite work by Gaiman and Pratchett.

    Thank you for mentioning it.

    Worth removing the mods I did on previous posts.

  8. Re:Who wants a driverless tesla roadster? on Tesla's Elon Musk Talks With Google About Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    Roughly 15 years ago, when I was 22, I was working in Chicago as a consultant making $30 an hour, not salaried. Being stuck in traffic for a few hours at a time was some of the most enjoyable times I had. I was getting paid the same either way. I'd roll down the windows, crank the music and sing out-loud to my heart's content. I put a smile on a few faces doing that. People thought I was crazy. If they only knew. :)

    Love this. I'd be happy with an Aleph.

  10. Re:Dear Microsoft on Microsoft Blames PC Makers For Windows Failure · · Score: 1

    The only real issue I have to add about touch screens...

    Obfuscation of parts of the screen when I hold my appendage(arm) up to it.

    Although porn with touch screen makes me kinda sick feeling about ever touching another person's touchscreen.

    Don't tell me to buy an expensive mouse that works with reflective surfaces either.

    5 blades used in an array.

  17. Re:Latency and bandwidth? on Researchers Achieve Storage Density of 2.2 Petabytes Per Gram of DNA · · Score: 1

    If I used raid and built a giant striped array weighing in at only 1 million grams (1000 kg or 2200 lb, less than your average car)...

    2.2 million petabytes = 2.2 zettabytes

    With a write speed of 1 MiB per day. (I hate it when they started doing the MiB, no more powers of 2)

    Think of what we used to put on 5.25in floppies at 360k per disk.

  18. Re:Why is this a problem? on Have a Wi-Fi-Enabled Phone? Stores Are Tracking You · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I was thinking the same about small shops that do know you and actually help you. How many cameras does a Wal-Mart or other supercenter have in store with time stamps? They could have us any way they want. Why not put pressure sensors in the floor that use timestamps to measure our weight and gait?

    Or if you're so worried, buy it all at home or use a faraday cage/sleeve everytime you walk outside?

    Now I'm beginning to ramble, but they've been able to track us for years.

    Do I like it? No. Is it bothersome enough for me to do anything about it? No.

    But then again, sometimes I'll leave the cell phone at home when I go out / turn my cell phone off at home. (no land line)

  22. Re:it's the length of movies themselves on 'Hobbit' Creates Big Data Challenge · · Score: 1

    The Hobbit has roughly 100,000 words in it.

    A picture is worth a 1,000 words.

    So at 48fps, the movie should have been roughly two seconds long, right?

    I worked at a sports bar bartending, but I also set up their audio/video and computer systems. The price is based upon maximum occupancy.
