  1. Incorrect Translation? on Is Linux At the End of Its Life Cycle? · · Score: 1

    After listening to Nikolai's comments, a more accurate translation turned out to be, "If 'I' use Linux, 'I' will be at the end of my 'Life-Cycle'." It's a common translation mistake.

  2. Re:Identifying Circuits for Biometrics on New Imaging Method Reveals Brain Connections · · Score: 1

    Imagine, a therapy by which one can backup their brain. Lost Cell Phones, Keys, Girl Friends birthdays. The last one alone is worth the research.

  4. Consider Other Options? on James Webb Space Telescope Cost Overruns Adding Up · · Score: 1

    The Moon has a relatively stable orbit, so far. Telescopes could then be placed on adjustable platforms. Maintenance could handled on sight as needed, by calmer minds. Long term issues could be more easily evaluated, by more senior staff.

    All the parts of 3D printers are made in China.

    Is this device a man trap if I mount a flash bulb device on it and it takes a "flash" picture?

  7. I Figured It Out!!! on Mystery Missile Launched Near LA · · Score: 1

    I RTFA, it obvious.

    On Friday night, Vandenberg Air Force Base, in California, launched a Delta II rocket, carrying an Italian satellite into orbit, but a sergeant at the base told KFMB there had been no launches since then.

    It's the It-Tie-Sat, what people don't realize is that the clocks, and gyros on that particular pice of space hardware are running on Italian Time; don't worry, it'll get there soon enough.

    So, what was found was some, "Hot Shit?"

  9. Mr. President, Sir. on Obama Says Offshoring Fears Are Unwarranted · · Score: 1

    The U.S. Voter has said, "No Job, No Vote, No Problem". BRIC seems to be doing pretty well now. How about helping us low life, no good, short sided, dirt bag, inner bred voters? And all I got is this electronic voting machine made by some profit oriented company that Off Shored is service, and manufacturing and seems to donate to Republicans. What are we going to do about it? Sir.

  10. Re:Another Nail... on Scientists Turn Skin Into Blood · · Score: 1

    With Skin being the first line of defense from environmental challenges; wouldn't it be worthwhile to fabricate a a gene based therapy that would strengthen the skin?

    "How would you react if the President of the United States ordered that you cannot communicate using an electrical device, or purchase goods, or allow your children to learn?"

  19. Why Would Meg Care on Meg Whitman Campaign Shows How Not To Use Twitter · · Score: 1

    People may believe that this person cares about public perceptions, there is no evidence to support this statement. My wish to my fellow Republicans is that we find a gubernatorial candidate who believes in less government that has NOT conducted business guided by short sited blind ambition.

    The Defense rests.

  22. White Holes are the Opposite of Black Holes? on Modeling a White Hole With Your Kitchen Sink · · Score: 1

    There is evidence of White Holes in our Universe? That would explain why our universe is expanding. Fundamentally, our universe is then a "Cosmic Land Fill" by other surrounding Universes.

  23. Make a Javascript Game? on How To Deflect an Asteroid With Today's Technology · · Score: 1

    Sometimes, modeling a problem is made more understandable. One can then show the painful complexities. Others can contribute to solving those complexities. Eventually, the problem is solved.

  24. What?! After Reviewing TFA on Meet NELL, the Computer That Learns From the Net · · Score: 1

    A data base that uses the idea of verb(noun,noun). But what of verb(noun), or the various other forms of verb(noun,...)?

    Also, a good teacher mentors a student, is NELL mentored?

    This project is a curious beginning. And is NELL going to be callously ushered into mediocrity because of a lack of guidance?
