  1. Civil wars can't be stopped on Nukes Are "The Only Peacekeeping Weapons the World Has Ever Known," Says Waltz · · Score: 1

    you will always be able to break up a nuclear nation into regions with and without bunkers. National borders are fluid, there is no way to create this kind of peace forever.

  2. Re:No wars... right... on Nukes Are "The Only Peacekeeping Weapons the World Has Ever Known," Says Waltz · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wikipedia breaks it down like this because of the availability of information, not the frequency of the subject. You really think there have been the same number of wars from the beginning of time to 1000ad as the last 18 months, as you imply? There have wars that took out entire civilizations that you've never heard of, that no one has heard of, Wikipedia is no time traveler. There have been no major wars, what makes a war major, you ask, my answer would be: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_anthropogenic_disasters_by_death_toll

  3. Minor Correction on Chinese Physicists Achieve Quantum Teleportation Over 60 Miles · · Score: 1

    The above says "performed by another Chinese team back in 2010" but it 16km feat was first demonstrated by the same team

  4. Travelling costs more than propellant on Elon Musk: Future Round-Trip To Mars Could Cost Under $500,000 · · Score: 1

    My car is a pretty reusable craft, and though i almost never throw any part of it away, it still seems to cost a lot more than just propellant to keep it going. So, he can design a system to deliver people on Mars with insignificant wear and tear? I think more people would pay 500K for a car that could travel 250 million miles between tune ups.

  5. Please stop calling it the iPhone 4G on id Software Demos Rage On iPhone, Releases Source Code For Two Games · · Score: 1

    Seeing 4G after the word iPhone makes me cringe, am I alone? It confuses those less educated, like leaving the word Backlit out of LED Backlit Television. I just would have expected better from slashdot.
