  1. Re:Kill 'em while their young on DRM Could Come To 3D Printers · · Score: 1
  2. Re:If US policy is causing Muslim attacks . . . on Saudi Arabia Calls For Global Internet Censorship Body · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What we need to do is develop renewable energy sources to the point where they are truly viable, and spread them around the world so everyone can easily use them.

  3. Re:Lawsuits on Dotcom's New Site "Megabox" Almost Ready · · Score: 2

    We're getting into the territory where Kim Dotcom himself might end up dead and buried.

  4. Almost perfect on A Day in Your Life, Fifteen Years From Now · · Score: 2

    I can accept almost all of this, but there is one glaring flaw.

    The US converting to metric? Lunacy. Sheer fantasy.

  5. Re:Finally, a law recognizing privacy on California Employers Can't Ask For Your Facebook Password · · Score: 1

    If we don't have a right to work, then why is it called a "right to work" society? That sounds like the exact opposite of what it means.

  6. Re:And much more expensive than real or fake on Lab-Grown Leather Could Be a Reality In 5 Years · · Score: 1

    I didn't read crazyjj's entire post before responding, but let me say that the price WILL eventually come down and be cheaper than natural leather.

  7. Re:And much more expensive than real or fake on Lab-Grown Leather Could Be a Reality In 5 Years · · Score: 2

    I don't have a moral objection to leather. I have a financial objection to it. That shit is expensive.

    Plus, the size of the animal limits how big a solid, unstiched sheet of it can be. I am all for in-vitro leather if it can bring the price down and give us larger pieces.

  8. It shouldn't be that difficult. on Google Bans Online Anonymity While Patenting It · · Score: 1

    Sure, require the person's real name, but let them choose whether or not to make it public. If you keep your real name private, you can go by some screen name publicly. Someone searching for you by your real name can offer a connection. If you choose to accept, then your public screen name becomes known to them.

  9. Re:What good is public comment on DHS Gets Public Comment, Whether It Wants It Or Not · · Score: 1

    Democracy only works when you have an educated populous.

  10. They had like 14 tools... on Space Station Saved By a Toothbrush? · · Score: 1

    ... all stuffed into something that one of the astronaut's aunts have him. If they hadn't had the toothbrush, THAT would have been the thing they needed.

  11. Wrong arguments on Could Flying Cars Actually Be On Their Way? · · Score: 1

    People are complaining about the inability of people to operate a flying car when they can't operate one on the ground.

    The whole point is that flying cars will be autopiloted.

  12. Seriously? on Australians Receive SMS Death Threats · · Score: 1

    What professional hit-man would actually solicit his contracted victim for a bribe? He'd never get hired again.

  13. Flexible roll-up screens! on Don't Super-Size My Smartphone! · · Score: 1
  14. Re:NSAmerCIA on Thomas Drake: You're Automatically Suspicious Until Proven Otherwise · · Score: 1

    That's not blame. That's a prediction, you fucking moron.

  15. So it tracks the person looking at it on MIT Develops Holographic, Glasses-Free 3D TV · · Score: 0

    Let me know when they develop a walk-around 3d display that multiple people can look at simultaneously and each see the correct view from their position.

  16. Re:i don't really like bill gates that much but... on Bill Gates Says Tablets Aren't Much Help In Education · · Score: 0

    Humans have an ingrained habit of doing that from actual religion.

  17. Re:They are even dumber than they seem. on Fundamentalist Schools Using "Nessie" To Disprove Evolution · · Score: 1

    Actually, they need to take a class in basic critical thinking, first. Then they should take the class in evolution.

  18. Not in the software on PayPal Starts Bug Bounty Program · · Score: 2

    The problem is that most of the bugs are in the human end of the system, not in the software.

  19. Really? on Search Tracking Purports To Show Effect of Racism On '08 Election · · Score: 1

    As I recall, even dyed-in-the-wool racists were voting for Obama. I recall the phrase "When your house is burning down, you don't care what color the fireman is" being said by some redneck in an article.

  20. Re:Umm... one teeny tiny problem on Sci-fi Writer Elizabeth Moon Believes Everyone Should Be Chipped · · Score: 1

    How about a combination of DNA and fingerprints? Since identical twins/triplets/etc.. don't have identical fingerprints.

  21. Re:How durable? on MIT Creates Superhydrophobic Condiment Bottles · · Score: 1

    It doesn't need to be washable. That's the whole point. Nothing sticks to it.

  22. Cells that don't die? on Scientists 'Switch Off' Brain Cell Death In Mice · · Score: 1

    Isn't that called "cancer"?

  23. Probably not hearing on Pigeons May 'Hear' Magnetic Fields · · Score: 1

    Just because the sense organ is in the ear doesn't mean that it is associated with the sense of hearing, just like our sense of balance comes from structures in the ear, but that sense is unconnected to hearing.

  24. Re:I hate 16x9 on 1366x768 Monitors Top 1024x768 For the First Time · · Score: 1

    I think it's more like 100 pixels.

  25. Re:You're looking in the wrong place on TSA Shuts Down Airport, Detains 11 After "Science Project" Found · · Score: 1

    I'm not a big fan of Ayn Rand, but that's one of the things she got right.
