  1. Mark Zuckerberg-Funded Researchers on Mark Zuckerberg-Funded Researchers Test Implantable Brain Devices (scmp.com) · · Score: 1

    | a wireless brain implant that can record, stimulate and disrupt the movement of a monkey in real time. | Next up: Villains controlling monkeys remotely wherever they are. 100 000 Frank Baum fans "liked" this idea.

  2. Re:Not the only one at blame on Civil Servant Watching Porn At Work Blamed For Government Malware Outbreak (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Operating Systems with no privilege separations? By that; do you mean operating systems where everyone is an administrator? That doesn't seem like a very good solution to preventing privilege escalation exploits. That's like saying "We don't worry about prisoners escaping to masquerade as guards! Everyone here is a guard already! "

  3. Re:EROS center?! on Civil Servant Watching Porn At Work Blamed For Government Malware Outbreak (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Poor guy,he didn't search for porn long enough ; with enough hits on EROS; he would have found his way back to his own company.

  4. Re:But does it come in White? on Scientists Have Developed a Material So Dark That You Can't See It · · Score: 1

    Honestly..someone DOES need to coat an album cover with it: call it "Subluminal: The Darkest Of Black": with such songs as: 1) Back In Black 2) Paint It Black 3) Black Is The Color (traditional) 4) Black Day In July 5) Blackbird 6) Black Water And MORE IF YOU ACT NOW!

  5. re: super light absorbing material on Scientists Have Developed a Material So Dark That You Can't See It · · Score: 1

    The company made 150 000 sheets of it; but that's hard to verify; since they can't find it in the basement.

  6. 36 Year Old Misplaced Modifier on Ask Team Trying To Return 36-Year-Old Spacecraft From Space About Their Project · · Score: 2

    I'm sorry that the space around their project contains a 36 year old spacecraft; it must be hard to set up furniture under such circumstances.

  7. Re: North Korea threatened the United States on North Korea Threatens US With Preemptive Nuclear Strike · · Score: 1

    North Korea is going to suddenly launch a large payload of rhetoric against Hawaii. They can't decide if they want a Parabolic trajectory and load the rockets with Hyperbole...or a Hyperbolic trajectory for rockets loaded with Parables....

  8. Re: North Korea threatened the United States on North Korea Threatens US With Preemptive Nuclear Strike · · Score: 1

    Kim Jong-Un recently announced that Pyongyang will be building a large number of factories to produce the letter "L". Until then,North Korea will remain a major Word Power.

  9. re: flagging squirrels. on Robotic Squirrels Battle It Out With Rattlesnakes · · Score: 1

    The fact is,ADULT California ground squirrels are largely immune to rattlesnake venom. What the squirrel is doing is flagging to attract attention away from their PUPS which have not yet developed immunity.

  10. re: Cystic fibrosis treatment on Cystic Fibrosis Gene Correction Drug Approved by the FDA · · Score: 1

    Human beings do not have cell walls. Cell walls are made of cellulose or chitin,and are typical of bacteria,fungi and plants. Human beings have cell membranes. Otherwise,a good informative summary.

  11. re: looking in our own backyard. on SETI To Scour the Moon For Alien Footprints? · · Score: 1

    This is an excellent example of how science should not be done. Let's just keep one foot on the ground,do a thorough examination of the surface of Luna,and maybe we'll find something other than a coke can and an American flag. To begin the whole process by saying "we're looking for evidence of extraterrestrial beings"...is what I call unhealthy bias. Especially,as has already been noted,we don't have the slightest idea of what we'd be looking for. (perhaps looking for aliens is the only way to get people interested in any survey at all).

  12. Re:Our own backyard? on SETI To Scour the Moon For Alien Footprints? · · Score: 1

    cavreader,I agree with much of what you posted.but...aren't you digressing rather wildly from the topic at hand? Just saying...maybe you should post a new thread.

  13. re: water is threatened on Melting Glaciers Cutting Peru Water Supply · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that the people are threatened? I don't think water itself feels much one way or another. : o P
