  1. Don't go to Malaysia! on Twins' DNA Foils Police · · Score: 1

    "In Malaysia last year, a man suspected of drug-smuggling and sentenced to death..."

    Wait, he was sentenced to death on suspicion of drug smuggling? If you are going to kill people because you think they might have committed a crime how DNA obfuscating the facts really make that much of a difference?

  2. Re:Performance upgrades are a must. on Server Structure in EVE Online · · Score: 1

    Eve has indeed come a long way to handle lag since SMASHKILL. NC jumped a 700 man fleet into M-0 on the 30th against BoBs 350. The fight was actually extremely playable for quite a while, right up until the node crashed. Since then CCP has moved to push a number of servers from 4GB of memory to 12GB. StacklessIO has done a lot to alleviate lag, a few more upgrades and pretty soon we should see 1200+ fleet battles reasonably playable.

  3. Re:I for one on Japan's Cyborg Research Enters the Skull · · Score: 1

    Bookworm, Run!

  4. Obviously... on Fifth Cable Cut To Middle East · · Score: 1

    As someone who has seen many classic monster films I have to say that it seems obvious to me that there is some sort of giant underwater reptile or shark feeding on the energy in those lines.

  5. Sounds like hell on Is Your Office Haunted? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can't imagine a much worse fate then having to hang out at work forever after I die.

  6. Won't work. on Microsoft's Vigilante Investigation of Zombies · · Score: 5, Funny

    [i]"some of which reside in the US and may be prosecuted under the CAN-SPAM act."[/i]

    Common. We all know the only way to deal with zombies is massive head trauma.

  7. Just like the news on Pillows Dangerous for Your Health · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A lot of this comes accross as scare tactics, imo. Fungal spores are very, very small things. So you have several thousand per gram, and a million of em on your pillow. How does this compare to other non-pillow personal objects? Is this unusual? It would have been nice if the reporter commented on data from the negative control such as a pillow nobody sleeps on. Furthermore, what percentage of these million fungi are actually pathogenic?

  8. Tigra and Bunny on Sonic Torpedo Defense · · Score: 1

    We like the boats. The boats that go boom.

  9. From the future... on Army Eyes Anti-Sniper Robot · · Score: 2, Funny

    The real danger comes 20 years after these get put into production when one runs for governor of California.

  10. Yeah... on Scientist Says Most Scientific Papers Are Wrong · · Score: 1

    And 90% of all statistics are made up.

  11. French on 9 Weeks to Pump Out New Orleans? · · Score: 1

    Some 203 years after the fact it finally looks like the french might have made the right choice selling off Louisiana. If only they had taken that lame accent with them when they left.

  12. General semiconductor physics information on Semiconductor Technologies Guide · · Score: 2, Funny

    Seriously, this is one of the best semiconductor physics sites I've ever seen. Informative too.

  13. Re:A V version ever good? on Star Trek's Next Series · · Score: 1

    Isnt MSIE beta? So its years away from version 5, its more like 0.5.5 right now.
