  1. Terrible Tragedy on Steve Jobs Dead At 56 · · Score: 1

    RIP -- truly a visionary of the finest kind.

  2. They'll Make A Fortune on Hair Growth Signal Dictated By Fat Cells · · Score: 1

    Off of vain people although I find that being bald is not only cheaper but neater. Now if they can only find a way to get reverse the hair growth on my back.

  3. There's A Right And Wrong Way on The Loudness Wars May Be Ending · · Score: 2

    I'm a production director of a radio station so I'm constantly working on commercials. Although I don't go so far as to brickwall things, I do use a variety of compressions, limiters, and EQ to balance out the sound of a commercial -- usually to even out a vocal performance or to make it work with music and sound effects better. There's a cookie cutter and hamfisted way to do it and then there is actually using your ears to do it correctly. That said, what was done with the 5.1 remasters of the Genesis catalog were a travesty. Any dynamism was lost because suddenly what was supposed to be a quieter acoustic section was as loud as the full band playing all out. That's not the way it's supposed to sound.

  4. Re:netflix's selection is still pretty bad on Spotify To Bait and Switch? · · Score: 1

    Exactly. The selection of pilates videos is phenomenal as are the exercise videos featuring a giant ball. Well worth the price.

  5. First Appearance In An SF Novel on Do 'Ultracool' Brown Dwarfs Surround Us? · · Score: 1

    In 3...2...1...

  6. This Just In on Facebook Bans Google+ Ads · · Score: 1

    The horseshoe industry has forbidden all its workers from mentioning the word "automobile". Said their representative, "Then and only then can we endeavor to preserve a way of life we have all come to know and love".

  7. Re:Punish Trolls on Lawyer Attempts To Trademark Bitcoin · · Score: 4

    Loss of license to practice law for life might be a way to dissuade the next person.

  8. It's Going To Happen on White Space Radio To Be Tested In Cambridge · · Score: 2

    Too much money at stake for high-stakes players. They'll saw off a couple of corners to make it fit.

  9. I Can't Wait... on Gran Turismo Gamer Takes Second In Class In World-Renowned Race · · Score: 1

    To get in the pilot's seat of an Airbus A380. All those flying lessons in my den will pay off big time.

  10. Welcome To The Teapublican Paradise on Wisconsin Public Internet Struggles Against Telecom, Legislature · · Score: 1

    It is rather breathtaking to see what the real exercise of power is even if it is in the cause of greed.

  11. A False Flag Operation on Anonymous Under Civil War? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This "rogue" group stinks of HB Gary.

  12. Authors Say The Same on Dollar Apps Killing Traditional Gaming? · · Score: 1

    How can I sell my e-book for 5.99 when someone is selling their's for .99? Maybe quality trumps price in certain cases. Maybe some people just like cheap and weren't going to pay more than .99 for a book or game.

  13. An Autonomous Nuke Plant on A New Class of Nuclear Reactors · · Score: 1

    Free standing, self contained, powers it's own cooling system. At the first sign of trouble, it launches itself into space. I think it could work.

  14. Re:Unbellythinkful on US Military Commissions Sock Puppet Program · · Score: 1

    It's the importance of being earnest.

  15. What's Ridiculous To Me on Sex Offender Claims Police Entrapped Him With Animated Emoticons · · Score: 2

    Is being in trouble for conversing with a fictional character.

  16. Re:Sweet Stache. on Sex Offender Claims Police Entrapped Him With Animated Emoticons · · Score: 1

    I didn't know 13 year olds could become cops.

  17. Hasn't Been Said Yet on Large Hadron Collider is a Time Machine? · · Score: 2

    You're remembering the future.

  18. Now We See Their Labor Bearing Fruit on Man Arrested For Linking To Online Videos · · Score: 1

    The systematic creation of an overarching "security" apparatus was every only for one purpose and that was to be used as a weapon in the defense of corporations.

  19. Egon Spengler Was Right on Barnes and Noble Bookstore Chain Put In Play · · Score: 1

    Print is dead.

  20. Re:A good idea on Top Authors Make eBook Deal, Bypassing Publishers · · Score: 1

    Absolutely a good idea. Let the artist benefit from his work, not a series of middlemen each with a hand in the till.

  21. Shut Up & Play Your Guitar on Prince Says Internet Is Over · · Score: 1

    The Internet is ignoring you...for now.

  22. Very Exciting Stuff on NASA Tests Hardware, Software On Armadillo Rocket · · Score: 1

    I can see engineers and scientists loving the challenge of this project and others to come. The human spirit is always in need of a challenge to bring out the best in everyone. I think this is a terrificly exciting thing they're doing.

  23. Re:Not dumbing down: removing jargon on Do Scientists Understand the Public? · · Score: 1

    Exactly right. A scientist can talk about "specific impulse" until he's blue in the face but the person interested in spaceflight just wants to know how fast the damned thing goes.

  24. Re:Aliens! on America Versus the UFO Hacker · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What the U.S. government probably has is 60+ years worth of wasting taxpayer dollars on black projects that went nowhere. I've come to believe that flying saucers were a cover story and false hysteria created by the government as a way to both deflect the truth and create a system where observers could be dismissed as kooks.

  25. Re:Now just hopefully... on Breakthrough In Stem Cell Culturing · · Score: 1

    Yes, indeed. I saw it happen to my mother in the year before she passed. She was an M.D. in life and it was tragic to witness her decline. I certainly hope that scientists will be aggressive in coming up with treatments if such treatments are possible.
