  1. Re:Let's REALLY plan ahead on Project Icarus: an Interstellar Mission Timeline · · Score: 2

    You can't say that FTL travel is impossible until we learn everything about physics.

    It violates what we currently understand of physics.

  2. Re:Really necessary? on One-Way Sound Walls Proven Possible · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Where would we be if people were happy with what they had? There's probably all kinds of situations, and even new inventions, that could use this that we can't even think of at the moment.

  3. What happens if it gets creased? on Canadian Researchers Create Thin-Film Flexible Paperphone · · Score: 1

    What happens to it if you accidentally put a crease in it? Like, you have it rolled up or folded or something, and something heavy lands on it?

  4. Re:Does not apply to FTL on Tech That Failed To Fail · · Score: 1

    Technically it only defies what we know of physics.

  5. Re:Does not apply to FTL on Tech That Failed To Fail · · Score: 1

    Didn't we used to think it was impossible to tap into a quantum encrypted message without either the sender or receiver detecting it?

  6. Re:Won't Happen on If You're Going To Kill It, Open Source It · · Score: 1

    For now

  7. Re:Why not free? on University Proposes Tuition Based On Major · · Score: 1

    That wasn't an ad hominem.

    This is not an ad hominem:

    You are wrong because $reasonX , $reasonY , and $reasonZ . Also, you are an idiot.

    This is an ad hominam:

    You are wrong because $insult .

  8. Re:Free from liability? Oh yeah? on EFF Advocates Leaving Wireless Routers Open · · Score: 1

    Just because you leave it open doesn't mean that you can't reserve a specific amount of bandwidth for your own mac addresses, and limit the bandwidth on the open part.

  9. Holy crap this is cool on Artificial Synapse Created For Synthetic Brain · · Score: 1

    I literally almost drooled upon reading that.

  10. Re:Police often violate 4th amendment rights.. on Michigan Police Could Search Cell Phones During Traffic Stops · · Score: 1

    That was Ben Franklin

  11. Re:Why chess? on Armenia Makes Chess Compulsory In Schools · · Score: 1

    Ah! That would be it, then.

  12. Why chess? on Armenia Makes Chess Compulsory In Schools · · Score: 1

    If they want to use a classical board game, does anyone else think they'd be better off learning Go?

  13. Re:Why still fooling with ONE camera? on Predator Outdoes Kinect At Object Recognition · · Score: 1

    Why stop at 2?

  14. Re:yeah on Predator Outdoes Kinect At Object Recognition · · Score: 1

    I think this might be relevant.

    And then, eventually we will need this

  15. My place was built in '82 on New Houses Killing Wi-Fi · · Score: 2

    I'm not worried about the wi-fi because I have a wireless router. But the cell phone reception is horrendous. I take a few steps outside and it's fine. While I was fixing the place up I had poked some holes in the walls and found metal beams inside. The place is like a giant Faraday cage. The fact that it's the bottom floor of a three-story condo doesn't help either.

    I just spent $250 (it was on sale, too. Normally it's $400) on a cell phone signal booster. I hope it helps.

  16. Everyone kills Hitler on their first trip. on Chinese Censors Crack Down on Time Travel · · Score: 1

    Except for that one guy who killed Hong Xiuquan.

  17. No on Berners-Lee: Web Access Is a 'Human Right' · · Score: 1

    As much as I respect the guy, no one has a "basic human right" to something that someone else has to pay for.

  18. Re:Do not want on Can't Get a Real Girlfriend? Get a "Cloud" Girlfriend · · Score: 1

    What's really, really, really sad is that there probably is a marked for this.

    Although it's probably entirely out of Japan.

  19. Re:Hmm... on Can't Get a Real Girlfriend? Get a "Cloud" Girlfriend · · Score: 1

    But this is the cloud. It's bits on thousands of servers, both near and far.

  20. Re:except.... on Garry's Mod Catches Pirates the Fun Way · · Score: 1

    Pssst... you don't use bbcode here. You can use straight-up html.

  21. Simple solution on TJX Hacker Claims US Authorized His Crimes · · Score: 1

    Keep him in prison, and throw the people from the Secret Service who "authorized" him in with him.

  22. Re:Maybe they should include it on Getting L33t Into the Oxford English Dictionary · · Score: 1

    I think it does "legitimise" a word in the eyes of the kind of people that use the word "l33t".

  23. Maybe they should include it on Getting L33t Into the Oxford English Dictionary · · Score: 1

    If l33t becomes a legitimate word, maybe the people who use it will stop.

  24. Re:My neice on US Students Suffering From Internet Addiction · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Do you honestly expect a 16 year old to want to be involved in someone's 70th birthday?

  25. Re:What happened to OMG Ponies! on Vatican To Digitize Prohibited Archives · · Score: 1

    Have you seen the clips from that show arrange to the audio track from the Dark Knight trailer?
