  1. Re:Great on Japan To Create a Nuclear Meltdown · · Score: 0

    A couple of things came to mind. Wouldn't it more constructive to learn how to nullify radio activity? The other is this reasearch can go with their whale science, or IgNobel nomination.

  2. Known Side Effects on Mending Hearts With Light-Activated Glue · · Score: 1

    Burrowing in shallow water. And affection for images of staws.

  3. Re:in other words... on The Quiet Fury of Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates · · Score: 0

    Is this a great country, or what? When grand-pa can make bank by calling his bosses a bunch show-offs, and making bank on it.

  4. Chicago is Leading the Nation on Federal Judge Rules Chicago's Ban On Licensed Gun Dealers Unconstitutional · · Score: 0

    It's a shame that the city fathers of Chicago couldn't do the same for RNA, and DNA based viruses.

  5. Re:Joe, You're Wrong on The Internet's Network Efficiencies Are Destroying the Middle Class · · Score: 1

    I take that back, not Home Automation, but Personal Automation.

  6. Joe, You're Wrong on The Internet's Network Efficiencies Are Destroying the Middle Class · · Score: 1

    With the advent of Global Communications, and Home Automation; money will become a one paragraph history lesson.

  7. Re:going after GMO is like banning screwdrivers on Anti-GMO Activists Win Victory On Hawaiian Island · · Score: 1

    I find it very telling that the creators of this stuff, won't publicly consume it themselves, or show their family members consuming it either.

  8. Re:Technically correct on Counterpoint: Why Edward Snowden May Not Deserve Clemency · · Score: 1

    I personally cannot help but think of the reward percent increases to be granted to Snowden every time someone says how much damage he's done, as a whistle blower; I believe that he's going to need it for his attornies.

    As for the actions of the NSA; it appears that "rule by law" is not rewarded in that department. As for the spying abroad, I think, "Trust, but Verify" is an informed orientation. This view also appears successful when applied conversely.

  9. And In An Unrelated News Story on Bruce Schneier Becomes CTO of Co3 Systems · · Score: 1

    Sun rise today will be at 5:59am, 6:59am for day light savings time.

  10. How Would You Like to Bet? on The Math of Gamification · · Score: 1

    There's some meat hangin on this Gamification bone? One example might be the profits from a lack of government regulations on businesses in a particular industry. The gaming of investing in industries that have fewer laws for the purpose of creating investment bubbles. I'd bet on it.

  11. Re: Don't imagine it stops there. on U.S. Waived Laws To Keep F-35 On Track With China-made Parts · · Score: 1

    What is amazing is that the U.S. went to China and said, "Please."

  12. Re:Well, uh... on Senator Bernie Sanders Asks NSA If Agency Is Spying On Congress · · Score: 2

    Well, it's to fight terrorism, and help the children.

  13. Ryan Calo, Shill for Hire on How To Change U.S. Laws To Promote Robotics · · Score: 1

    Would Ryan Calo sue a company that made a machine that had killed his dog?

    The concept of "voting" with one's wallet on the surface appears logical, until you start seeing loved ones die.

  14. Re:You can smell the fear... on No Question: Snowden Was 2013's Most Influential Tech Figure · · Score: 1

    Then I'd say we're doing our job as citizens. Now on to the next problem to solve, "Who's the asshole that started this?"

    It also appears to be very accurate. lol

  16. Re:TFA is full of crap ! on Unintended Consequences: How NSA Revelations May Lead To Even More Surveillance · · Score: 1

    You are not alone, there are several at the NSA that share your value system.

  17. Re:TFA is full of crap ! on Unintended Consequences: How NSA Revelations May Lead To Even More Surveillance · · Score: 1

    Do you honestly believe that the NSA wasn't wire tapping before? They just obtained this expertise from a google search? I suggest taking the long look at tensor #2.

  18. Re:That's what you get on USB Sticks Used In Robbery of ATMs · · Score: 1

    Also, I would strongly suggest to not refer to females close by as a "Skankaty Skank Skank."

  19. Re:TFA is full of crap ! on Unintended Consequences: How NSA Revelations May Lead To Even More Surveillance · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    2 tensors keep emerging. 9/11 occured because intelligence folks thought that wire tapping was good enough. The other is that the masses remain ignorent because their knowledge base is not a top priority.

  20. Re:No comments? on Hearing Shows How 'Military-Style' Raid On Calif. Power Station Spooks U.S. · · Score: 1

    So if each residence have its own solar, and wind energy converters? and water purifiers? and 3d printers for food and what ever? Then [infrastructure_thing /] taking it in the shorts would only be news worthy?

  21. Re:Legality vs Enforceability on DoD Public Domain Archive To Be Privatized, Locked Up For 10 Years · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around the part where Americans paid for something and now we don't own it? I'm hoping the Declaration of Independence isn't on the list.

  22. durable parts that could withstand... on Company That Made the First 3D Printed Metal Gun Is Selling Them For $11,900 · · Score: 1

    Maybe these folks can make spare auto parts for cars? I'd love to roll with a MG, Model F with all the parts working.

    And while we're on the topic of MG's, "down with Lucus Electronics, prince of darkness."

    The answer to this question is, "No." If the guy with the gun and the radio doesn't get it, request it's supervisor, AND call the local paper(s) till a voice says it's worth writing about.
