  1. When did hip surgery become minor? on Virtual Reality Helmet Designed For Deep Space Surgery · · Score: 1

    It mentions falling and breaking your hip. Then as a solution this helmet that will help you perform minor surgery. Hip repair/replacement is pretty major surgery.

  2. Re:Dear Harper on Canada First Nation To Pull Out of Kyoto Accord · · Score: 2

    And don't forget about the $30B+ the government found to build new ships for the Navy. Not saying that they aren't needed but the money can be found. However given the dismal performance record over the last five years on climate change of the Harper government it isn't a surprise to see us pull out of Kyoto. No less shameful. Just don't blame the whole thing on the previous Liberal governments (who admittedly did little) because you have had lots of time to implement a strategy while in power.

  3. Re:um... bad title? on Alcatel-Lucent Shrinks Mobile Cell Tower To Small Cube · · Score: 1

    From the article. "Additionally today’s clutter of antennas serving 2G, 3G, and LTE systems are combined and shrunk into a single multifrequency, multistandard Wide-band Active Array Antenna that can be mounted on poles, sides of buildings or anywhere else there is power and a broadband connection."

  4. Re:Sounds great! on USB 'Dead Drops' · · Score: 2, Funny

    Stop throwing facts into a fun conversation.

  5. CBC Radio 3 on Copyright License Fees Drive Pandora Out of Canada · · Score: 1

    Just listen to CBC Radio 3 (or get their podcasts). 100% Canadian independent artists. None of the crap from the major labels.

  6. Scanning illegal immigrants on Dept. of Homeland Security To Test Iris Scanners · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The quote says that the scanners will be used on illegal immigrants. They didn't say that it would be used in order to find illegal immigrants. If you already know that someone is an illegal immigrant then why bother with the scanning? Just send them back to where they came from.
