  1. Re:Nature... will find a way! on Fighting Mosquitoes With GM Mosquitoes · · Score: 4, Informative

    At least the fruit bats won't starve if we kill all the mosquitoes.

  2. Re:Oy Vey! on California Going Ahead With Bullet Train · · Score: 1

    I believe that has to do with the route. If there was more rail, then it should be much faster than travel by car. Cars stop for trains, not the other way around.

  3. Re:Don't worry. Be Happy now. on DARPA Requests Replacement To Antibiotics · · Score: 1

    And now I have to go wash my hands.

  4. Compatibility? on ODF 1.2 Is Approved · · Score: 1

    Will my old .odf files be updated, then? I often worry about not being able to properly open my old writings and such. I'd hate to have to manually re-save everything.

  5. Re:Only 20 - 30 percent? on Walmart Goes Solar In California · · Score: 1

    I know, right? I've always thought of Wal-Mart as being green because people had to drive fewer places to get things. But holy hell, that's a lot of power consumption.

  6. Re:What is the point on MIT's $1,000 House Challenge Yields Results · · Score: 2

    I'm sure $1,000 was set just to house cost/generic baseline. Obviously, there will be lots of variables. Cost of products, labor, land, taxes. I just like house the house can be infinitely expandable, building larger pinwheels around the outside until it becomes insanely difficult to reach the center.

  7. Re:Highway to Hell on Google Enlarges Warchest With 1023 IBM Patents · · Score: 1

    No, I don't believe there is any longer a single valid argument for "intellectual property" laws, of any kind. Not trademark, not copyright, and certainly not patents.

    That solution is decidedly radical. Doesn't the best answer generally lie somewhere in the middle? If I find a single valid argument for intellectual property, then I have proved your solution/argument illogical.

  8. please don't add sound effects... on Booktrack Adds Music and Sound Effects To Ebooks · · Score: 1

    ...to books. Thank You

  9. Re:Trying to get fired? on NYC Mayor Wants Traffic Camera On Every Corner · · Score: 1

    I'd love to see THIS law put to a direct vote. Of course it won't be, and Bloomberg will probably get booted out next opportunity, but the cameras would of course still stay.

    Why doesn't he just hire Judge Dredd?

  10. Re:Topic for discussion on After Rick Perry's Stem Cell Treatment, Misplaced Enthusiasm? · · Score: 1

    If its your time to go, its your time to go, there is nothing you can do to stop it.

    Go where?

  11. No way! on Genome Researchers Wants Your Genes · · Score: 1

    They can't have my genes. I'm wearing them! O wait... guess I'm not a candidate, anyways.
