  1. Re:I didn't get any notification about it. on Yahoo Treading Carefully Before Exposing More Private Data · · Score: 1

    I use the 2.0 email (which isn't that bad, actually) and I haven't received one either.

  2. Definition? on OH Senate Passes Bill Banning Human-Animal Hybrids · · Score: 1

    Let me guess. The didn't bother defining the word 'hybrid', did they?

    If so, then you wouldn't be allowed to implant even a single gene from an animal into a human embryo.

  3. Re:Weird Exoplanets on Weird Exoplanet Orbits Could Screw Up Alien Life · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would pay good money to see a scene from the Enterprise's security lounge. Everyone huddled, quivering in their chairs in a sort of vertical fetal position, waiting for the dreaded PA to sound:

    "Ensigns Smith and Jones, report to the transporter room for away team duty"

    There would be wails of anguish and much gnashing of teeth.

    And probably posters on the wall reminding people to make sure their Last Will and Testament is in order.

  4. Where it's clamped on Cutting Umbilical Cord Early Eliminates Stem Cells · · Score: 1

    Seems like when they do finally clamp it, it might be a good idea to clamp it as close to the mother as possible. Let the kid still absorb whatever is in the cord.

  5. Re:Not who wrote, but who paid for. on Recrafting Government As an Open Platform · · Score: 1

    We want both

  6. Re:Hm on Mobile 'Remote Wipe' Thwarts Secret Service · · Score: 1

    Or... you know... turn the thing off until you get it into a secure place.

  7. "counterintuitive for those accustomed..." on 13 Open Source Hardware Companies Make $1+ Million · · Score: 1

    Open source has been called a 'virus' by the traditional copyright establishment.

    It might be more accurately be called an alternate operating system, running concurrently, that the existing OS is recognizing as a virus.

    And yes, that is a Voyager reference.

  8. Damn on Geostationary GPS Satellite Galaxy 15 Out of Control · · Score: 1

    From the economy to politics to technology.

    Modern culture really is just held together with wads of chewing gum, isn't it?

  9. Re:The statistical value of "resonable dobut" = 0. on Brain-Scan Lie Detection Rejected By Brooklyn Court · · Score: 1

    Oh, sure. The hardware is phenomenal, but most people are running crap software on it, and barely know how to use that.

  10. Re:Because they are unreliable. on Brain-Scan Lie Detection Rejected By Brooklyn Court · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "these 12 guys who have been struggling to stay awake during the proceedings, and just want to go home, think it's true, therefore he is guilty."

    FIFY

  11. Re:The statistical value of "resonable dobut" = 0. on Brain-Scan Lie Detection Rejected By Brooklyn Court · · Score: 1

    Just how is a jury supposed to to determine exactly how likely it is that a defendant is guilty, down to a tenth of a percent?

  12. Re:welp. on iPad Is Destroying Netbook Sales · · Score: 1

    if people don't share your exact opinions, wants and needs they become stupid?

    Right, because that is implied fucking ANYwhere in my post.

    Way to read into things what you want to see.

  13. Re:welp. on iPad Is Destroying Netbook Sales · · Score: 1

    It is just a giant iPod Touch.

    I, however, never had any doubts that it would sell.

    I am perfectly aware of just how stupid most people are.

  14. Re:After a month of daily use... on iPad Is Destroying Netbook Sales · · Score: 1

    Yes

  15. Dwarf Fortress on Do Gamers Want Simpler Games? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, people want simpler games. That's exactly why Dwarf Fortress is so addictive.

  16. Re:Why would you ever need to print? on IE Market Share Falls To Historic Low · · Score: 1

    Hey! I print all the time!

    Well, ok. I'm printing to PDF, but I'm still clicking on the print button.

  17. I use chrome on my home computer on IE Market Share Falls To Historic Low · · Score: 1

    Firefox just starts up way too slowly. I still keep it around in case I need to use FireFTP or ChatZilla.

    Or if I need to download an attachment in my Yahoo email.

  18. Re:What night-vision goggles could look like on OLED Film Could Provide Cheap Night Vision For Cars · · Score: 1

    Because with that, they cover your entire field of vision.

    Besides, not everyone wears glasses.

  19. Re:And nothing could possibly go wrong... on Can World's Largest Laser Zap Earth's Energy Woes? · · Score: -1, Troll

    I don't object to the idea of people trying to pull society toward their belief system.

  21. Re:And nothing could possibly go wrong... on Can World's Largest Laser Zap Earth's Energy Woes? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    1. Ok, found them mildly amusing. Now they just leave a bad taste in my mouth.

    2. Yes, the subject of the humor does affect how I feel about the content of the humor. Is that such an alien concept to you?

    3. If the actor in question is making a concerted effort to pull society toward his religious/political stance, yes. If he had the exact same beliefs, but felt no inclination to tell others to believe the same, I wouldn't have a problem with him.

  22. Re:When will we quit generating steam for power? on Can World's Largest Laser Zap Earth's Energy Woes? · · Score: 1

    I think he's talking about not using turbines at all. But rather a process that directly outputs electricity.

  23. Re:And nothing could possibly go wrong... on Can World's Largest Laser Zap Earth's Energy Woes? · · Score: 1

    I stopped finding these Chuck Norris jokes funny when I found out what a fundamentalist wacko he is.

  24. Bamboo? on Paper Manufacturer Launches "Print More" Campaign · · Score: 1

    Something occurrs to me. What is the problem with making paper out of bamboo rather than trees? It grows fast and you can grow it just about anywhere.

    Manuals will be available online in pdf form, IF you register the game.
