    Good point. Those caught cheating however will likely do more to themselves than perferate an eardrum.

    What about guns? I can commit a crime using a gun or prevent one.

    I'm so confused!!

  8. call me crazy... on Baby Meets Big Brother For Science · · Score: 1

    Call me crazy but my wife and I just had a baby and the last thing I would want is for for her to become an experiment.

    How do they know that this type of intervention/interference at such an impressionable age won't have life altering reprocussions? There are just some things that should be left well enough alone and this is one of them.

    Maybe it's just me though.

  9. Re:She's hot..... on Korea Unveils World's Second Android · · Score: 1

    I would havve assumed that AISMO would be considered a robot not an android.

    Could someone clear up the difference between an android and a robot?

  10. She's hot..... on Korea Unveils World's Second Android · · Score: 0

    **mental note** Got to get away from the computer.

    Of course I'm kidding but it brings up an interesting thought, how many android men have been developed?

  11. Shoot down Space Junk on U.S. Considers Anti-Satellite Laser · · Score: 1

    "The U.S. government wants to develop a ground-based weapon to shoot down enemy satellites in orbit."

    They can start their testing by shooting down the hundreds of useless satellites and debris orbiting the earth at this very moment.

  14. The real trick is.... on Cocaine Biosensor · · Score: 4, Funny

    At-home pregnancy tests are the model of diagnostic simplicity: a tester just pees on a stick and within minutes knows if she has to buy a crib. Imagine if one could just as easily detect HIV infection or a drug overdose.

    The real challenge is getting the corse to pee on the stick. I suggest the 'old hand in the warm water' trick.

  15. Demand what every organization needs... on What Would You Demand From Your IT Department? · · Score: 1

    A magic wand.

    Of course you could also demand three wishes, and if this is the case might I suggest using your first wish wishing for unlimited wishes.

    Get on this quick because trust me, your IT department is planning similar action.

    I guess if you need a supercomputer why not build the fastest?

  17. Kleenex... on Samsung Steals the Brain Behind the iPod · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The iPod is the "Kleenex" of the mp3 world. Samsung is going to have to hire more than just the programmer.

    Let be honest, it's mainly not what's in the iPod that makes it sell, it's how it looks.

  18. If they want their questions answered.... on Analysts Are Seeking Guidance From Google · · Score: 4, Funny

    If they want their questions answered, Google them. It's what i would do.

    The program was designed with simplicity in mind by Mena Trott, a former graphic designer and early blogger (she launched dollarshort.org in early 2001), and her husband, Ben Trott, a programmer.
    Mena and Ben went on to found Six Apart, the San Francisco-based company behind the blog-hosting service TypePad.

    TypePad is about to get a workout.

  24. Re:Too Broad A Market? on PlayStation 3 May Play Too Much · · Score: 1

    I agree, I'd buy it because of it's mulitple features. The thought of consolidating multiple devices into one appliance is very appealing to me and I imagine that I'm not alone.

  25. Keep it simple stupid... on Tagging Devices To Aid In Car Chases · · Score: 1

    Kiss - Keep it simple stupid.

    The genius in this idea is in it's simplicity. Sure the idea is dated and millions have thought of it but these guys had the guts to exectue it.

    The bottom line is anything will help. I think this is a winner.
