  1. Helicopters firing into crowds and the intelligence building http://www.liveleak.com/view?i... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i... Tanks running over people, killing many - crazy stuff..

  2. At least they're close.. on Jaguar Land Rover To Test Autonomous Cars In 'Living Lab' (thestack.com) · · Score: 2

    At least they're close by to the factory so when they break down every 2 days they can get back on the road quickly! (I had an LR4 which was an awesome machine when, for the 1 month of 12 that I had it, there wasn't some problem with it!).

  3. Profit... on 9th-Grader May Face Charges After Homemade Clock Mistaken For Bomb · · Score: 1

    1. The authorities bust a good muslim kid for having something that looks like a bomb
    2. Kid gets arrested, fingerprinted, interrogated, pressured
    3. Kid gets pissed off with authority
    4. As an adult he realizes his hatred for authority and creates a real bomb in retaliation
    5. Authorities say... see we knew what he was going to become
    6. Authorities profit...

  4. Simple Test... on Mobile Game Attempts To Diagnose Alzheimer's · · Score: 1

    So the actual test is installing the game and playing it. If you install it and then forget to open it, because you forgot what you were doing, then you have Alzheimers. Simple.

  5. Comparison on More Details About Mars Mystery Rock · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've done a very quick animated gif: https://imgflip.com/gif/69vpc If you see the circled area, that looks like the area the rock has come from, probably flicked there by the front wheels?

  6. And in other news... on Pinholes and Plastic Wrap Make Solid Walls "Transparent" To Sound · · Score: 3, Informative

    Researchers find that by putting a glass to a wall, helps sound travel through rigid surfaces as well.

  7. The website they give: http://yesitis.org/ is simply a parked domain on GoDaddy, their WHOIS is hidden.

    My belief is that someone setup the domain - sent some faked requests to Google to try and stir something up.

  8. Re:As a Creationist, I know evolution happens on UK Government Mandates the Teaching of Evolution As Scientific Fact · · Score: 1

    "God is still real, I can assure you of this" Please assure me, and provide 1 rational, scientifically sound, non circular-reasoning proof or evidence that there is a g(G)od. p.s. stating something along the lines of Paleys Watch or Pascals Wager, that something is so complicated that there has to be divine inspiration doesn't cut it. Someone looking at an iPhone 5 a hundred years ago would think it was magic or godly (and Apple now would be want us to believe that too!!), doesn't mean to say it is.

  9. Re:No sign of any specs on The Wii Mini Is Real, Arrives December 7 — In Canada · · Score: 1
  10. Re:Were people really upset about the size? on The Wii Mini Is Real, Arrives December 7 — In Canada · · Score: 1

    They're not wasting their money.. is replaces the original Wii. So they have 2 products - The full blown Wii U and then Wii Mini. The Wii Mini will be their entry level machine, no internet is great so I can let the kids play and not have to worry about them accessing the internet - it's a basic console. It's also only $99. If I want to access the internet and have full access to the internet, then I have my Wii U. http://www.nintendo.com/wiimini?country=CA&lang=en/

  11. Or... on Atlantic Hurricane Season 30 Percent Stronger Than Normal · · Score: 0

    Or Obama used information gathered since 2008 by the US military for the "Hurricane Aerosol and Microphysics Program (HAMP)" to create an event influence the elections... https://ams.confex.com/ams/29Hurricanes/techprogram/paper_168336.htm "The Department of Homeland Security asked NOAA/ESRL in Boulder to organize a workshop on possible new scientific theory and approaches to hurricane modification in February, 2008. Nearly two dozen scientists from around the world attended and there were a number of hypotheses and new ideas presented. We shall summarize the workshop results here and the development of the new DHS-funded HAMP Program that arose from the Workshop. HAMP is only the first Phase in a planned three-phase program. There will be no actual seeding trials unless one or more of the modification hypotheses is confirmed in Phase 1, through an interactive program of high-resolution coupled models and new aircraft observations. HAMP will focus on the effects of aerosols on cloud microphysics within the hurricane and on the effects of aerosols on hurricane structure and behavior, especially changes in hurricane intensity. " I'll put on my tin-foil hat, tin-foil rain coat and tin-foil rain boots ;-)

  12. Re:Prior Art on Facebook Patents Pokes-Per-Minute Limits · · Score: 1

    Actually, my mistake, looking at the dates from the comments in the script files, those modules were originally scripted in 2006!

  13. Prior Art on Facebook Patents Pokes-Per-Minute Limits · · Score: 2

    Hmmmm, my social networking site, which has been around for many many years, has had this since 2008 - I wonder if I should contact the USPTO?

  14. Videos on Counterfeit Air Bag Racket Blows Up · · Score: 1

    Here's the video's of counterfeit airbags.. my particular favourite is the second one.. at least you whilst you lay their dying, you can enjoy a fireworks show! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEYExJhYbg8

  15. Visitors.... on Demonoid Domain Names Up For Grabs · · Score: 1

    According to Sedo.. the DEMONOID.COM domain had 7,017 visitors in the last 31 days... hardly an "internet marketers dream"....

  16. Re:Agreed on BT Fibre Pulls Out of Chelsea Over Ugly Equipment Cabinets · · Score: 4, Informative

    BC Hydro here allow kids to put murals on the boxes like this and they also wrap a lot of the boxes in flowers and tree photos to blend them into the environment..

    Obligatory xkcd: http://xkcd.com/695/

  18. Re:is there a movie launch happening? on Psychics Say Apollo 16 Astronauts Found Alien Ship · · Score: 1

    That coupled with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ2ZcmMxehk Would lead me to believe that there's a viral marketing campaign for: War of the Worlds 2012 http://waroftheworldsthetruestory.com/

  19. Had to.. on Martian Rocks Land In Morocco · · Score: 0

    Had to be done... I for one welcome our Martian rock throwing overlords...

  20. Re:Poor Canada, they seem to keep getting hit on NASA Satellite Falls Back To Earth; Landfall in Canada · · Score: 0

    That was Australia.. $400 for littering and they've still not paid yet (I'm guessing as they have no money!) http://science.slashdot.org/story/09/07/14/1556228/NASAs-Skylab-400-Littering-Fine-Paid-By-DJ

    If there's G2, I think they should brand it as P2

  25. Prior Art? on Facebook Locks Down Social Gift Giving Patent · · Score: 0

    I see that the patent was filed in 2007, fortunately I've had virtual gifts on my community site http://friendsite.com/users/SocialStatus/ way before then where users could 'purchase' them or give them to other users... matches the digital element of the patent perfectly...
