    Excellent! Score one for ridiculous oversimplifications and a complete disregard for the article. :)

    If you think the above comment is just a bad joke, you should have a quick read of this article...

    Wouldnt it be "easier" to just have a replacement human with say, no brain (so its not "really" a clone) living assisted by machines waiting for its parts to be harvested?

    That's pretty much what this is, but instead of using expensive, complicated machines to keep the organs alive we use cheap, simple pigs.

    I'm really not surprised by this. pig genes are very similar to other genes.

    Sure they did. Both teams ended up just hurling spanners at each other for ten or fifteen minutes.

    Could be. Although there isn't a searchking.co.uk, so maybe germany was the closest.

    Possibly?

  8. Re:Too Easy on Google Sued over Page Ranking · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Unless Google are deliberately out to get them, then SearchKing don't have a point. If SearchKing is being subjected to the same search algorithm as every other site then I don't see what the problem is. Unless that algorithm was designed specifically to weed out SsearchKing...

    As a matter of interest, are Google under any legal obligation to provide an "fair" search?


    By the way, the link in my original post gave searchking.de top billing as I am searching from Switzerland.

    Have you discovered what drives "The Moderators"? What points must you add to a message to get "Interesting" or "Funny" or any of the others?

    Personally, what I would like to do is introduce a fad. Something along the lines of "AYBABTU" or "Beowulf cluster". Just in /. for a start...

    We've been making partial brain dumps for years. They're called "Books".

    I have to agree. What really gets me though are LCDs on laptops. Pointless.

    Wasn't there an award winning Canadian short cartoon about that "Star Trek problem"?

    I'd love to pin it down. Great, concise story telling.

    My PC has a button on the front that eliminates noise completely. It eliminates those annoying lights on the case too...

  18. Max Depth? on Using Microwaves to Drill Through Glass · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The article mentions that it can only drill to a depth equal to a quarter of its wavelength. Why is this?

    Surely it could also drill at depths of .75, 1.25, 1.75 etc.

  21. Re:Ugh... on First US Camera/Phone · · Score: 2

    They claim that it is deceptive because now you'll think there is an actual buzz about the product.

    It's definitley not deceptive, but it is insulting in a whiney, patronising, advertising department kind of way. Do they *really* think we will fall for product placemant in RL? It's just plain intrusive in films.

    A fun toy, but their advertising strategy cannot be condoned.
