    oh god, another geek who still hasn't figured out how to use his arms properly. Gorilla arm has never been a problem for the hundreds of occupations that use their arms in that way. It is only a problem for those people who have so little experience using their arms that they think it would be a problem.

  2. Summary incorrect based on article on Dolphins' Hunting Technique Inspires New Radar Device · · Score: 5, Interesting
    The researcher did not actually investigate what it is that dolphins do, he thought of what they could possibly do.

    I would be more interested in finding out if this is actually the technique dolphins use or do they do something different?

    Ah, you didn't vote them in so you have no responsibility for what they do.

    Do you see what you did there?

    I'm pretty sure all men have walked/smashed into something because of pretty women :) Chip my tooth on a pole for one.

    Nice. What a beautiful poetic logical way to abdicate responsibility.

    Probably makes you all warm and fuzzy inside eh?

    Thank you!

    While your tale is interesting, reading your prose has my brain slowly dripping out my nose.

    You do know that this shady government entity is populated by your fellow countrymen right?

    I always find it funny how people complain about the ineptitude of the government when it is a reflection of the society as a whole. You don't like it, do something about it. Or, you know, act like the people in your government act and just pass the buck while complaining. See, it works out perfectly.

  8. Re:god-like vs. measuring observer on First Experimental Evidence That Time Is an Emergent Quantum Phenomenon · · Score: 1

    No. It seems you need to freshen up on your understanding of sarcasm as well.

    It deals with it as well as getting smashed by an asteroid...

    Except that getting mugged is more under your own control. Muggers aren't dumb (unless whacked out on drugs), suprise, suprise they go for easy weak targets. So again that boils down to don't be an idiot.

    Dude, if you needed others to tell you to re-install we can probably see where the majority of the problem comes from. Either way, as long as it solves your problem, you're all good.

    No. That's like asking me to summarize the library of congress in a slashdot post. Just not possible.

    You might want to look into it yourself with the original documents and not new-agey crappy western interpretations.

    The fact that they called the fluid Cerebral-Spinal fluid might give you a little insight into your question.

    It's part of dreaming awake. It's been in use by esoteric societies for millenia. It's only a small stepping stone to the interesting stuff though.

    Copy II+ for the apple ii had bad sector marking and I believe defragging in 1981-2.

    So you posted this to show that you either don't understand defragmenting or the article?

    Please explain how I remember my dreams more than reality.

    Perhaps you should read the link you provided, see that it is about the longest length of time WITHOUT STIMULANTS, and then realize it has nothing to do with the parent post.

    Thanks for the trivia though -->trash.

    Well, it probably matters because the body is designed/evolved to work during the day. In general, cleanup is done when systems are down, if the system is not down, it's not going to get cleaned properly.

    Probably the same as, for example, humans that evolved on a smaller, faster planet, that gradually got larger and started to slow down.

    No, it's don't be an idiot.

    Nothing wrong with putting two things in the same bag if you have that bag with you and you need both things. Storing it as such in a location not near you is just idiotic.

    ah, so you invented another measurement to prove that time exists.

    No, no they are not. How do I know this? Well, because I used to have no sense of time or the ability to remember chronological sequences of anything. I would add that sometimes I get confused between past and future but then your linear mind would just think I'm crazy.

  24. Re:So... Parmenides was right after all? on First Experimental Evidence That Time Is an Emergent Quantum Phenomenon · · Score: 1
    Just to make you happy, Yoga 'discovered' this millenia before Parmenides and they did come up with experiments.

    What's more annoying though is people like you who seem to think we were just dumbasses without any clue to find truth (which science doesn't) in the past before the holiness of science.

  25. Re:Entangled particles everywhere? on First Experimental Evidence That Time Is an Emergent Quantum Phenomenon · · Score: 1

    Sure there is. When particles decide to untangle they just pop out of existence from our viewpoint. QM isn't static, stuff disappears and reappears all the time.
