  1. Marijuana kills brain cells! on U.S. Pushing Conservative Science · · Score: 1

    Extacy puts holes in your brain!
    The average heavy Marijuana smoker gets cancer at the age of 26!
    Weed makes men grow breasts, and women hairy!
    Marijuana use leads to use of other drugs!(Gateway theory.)
    Marijuana has no medical value.

    Is that what they call "Political Science"?

    BTW, the second one is true, but only because the average age of heavy marijuana users is 26.

    You could just as easily say the average person who uses words like "Fo Sheezy", and "Shiznitz" ges cancer at the age of 19.

  2. Don't be a dumbass. on New Stem Cell Source - Your Bone Marrow · · Score: 1

    Slashdot isn't journalism, it's a message board.

    Stop being such a lazy spectator.

  3. Is glass transparent to microwaves? on Using Microwaves to Drill Through Glass · · Score: 1

    That could be a factor, surely there would be some savings in energy usage if they were.

    Cutting transparent glass with a laser has to be hella ineficient.

  4. Re:8 inches tall? on Lego Segway · · Score: 1

    Theoretically, a taller one would be EASIER to balance onna counta that whole pendulum length frequency thing.

  5. Nothing new... Drug war science. on Politicizing Science · · Score: 1

    The government has been conducting back to front "scientific research" for years.

    Take, for example, the "research" that proved that marijuana kills brain cells. They paraded it around like it was the holy grail, but no other facility could duplicate the results of their "research".

    That's just one example of government funded "science" with validity somewhere between cold fusion and Scientology "discoveries".

  6. Re: Evolution??? on The Human Genome: More Viruses than Genes? · · Score: 1

    Like others have said, thermodynamics isn't a valid arguement against evolution, because there is energy being fed into the system via the sun, which feeds the engine by which conditions on earth can go from a state of lower order to a state of higher order.

    Genetic similarity, such as the case of 95% genetic similarity between chimps and humans, is consistent with evolution theory, a causal relationship is not necessisary to explain it. It proves no more than what we already knew, that chimps and humans have biological similarities.

    Humans and potatoes have about a 50% genetic similarity. We also share some traits with potatoes. For example, we have cells, and cell walls, and we use ATP as an energy source. All life needs to perform many of the same biochemical processes to exist. Why would a creator feel the need to come up with unique ways of doing the same things for all organisms?

    The fossil record is the largest, strongest source of evidence supporting evolution, and (pardon the pun) it seems to be rock solid.

    Evolution only contradicts a literal translation of a small part of the Bible, A good portion of Christians don't have a problem believing that God could have created life through the process of evolution. THis belief is more common in Europe than it is in America.

  14. Isn't this information available publicly on FBI Databases Used for Stock Fraud · · Score: 1

    If so, it's interesting that the information they took advantage of was organizational data, not so much the public records.

  19. Re:Invest in me on Scientists Claim Organs Grown From Stem Cells · · Score: 1
    Erm...not to nit-pick, but a google of data would be more in the range of "mass of the planet" than an 18 wheeler full.
