  1. Re:G'day mate!!!!!!!!! on Australian Physicists Build Reversible Tractor Beam · · Score: 1

    This is utter drivel, and I say it as Australian. It adds nothing to the conversation and tried too hard to be funny. Can someone down-mod this comment so it's not the second in this thread?

  2. Re:4" print area on $470 RepRap Derived 3D Printer Going Into Production · · Score: 1

    It's a goddamn useless article. The video at the end was also just so so unneeded. 7 seconds of whirring? Wow that's certainly informative.

  3. Re:What about the dud that came up with fire? on Wikipedia Mining Algorithm Reveals the Most Influential People In History · · Score: 1

    Ignoring the fact that Jesus probably did exist, that's not the point. I can scarce name anyone else who has had more global influence. Religious or not.

  4. Re:Open SSL on Isolated Tribes Die Shortly After We Meet Them · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I've been here for 5 years, and as far as I'm concerned this has nothing to with TFA, even as a joke.

    Wouldn't all this just be self-reported?

  7. Re:Could Titan serve as a "fuel cell" for a statio on Waves Spotted On Titan · · Score: 1

    The problem is not the fuel, but rather the oxygen to burn said fuel. Sure, hydrocarbons are in excess, but you still need an oxidising agent, and oxygen is pretty damned valuable since it's both part of life support and fuel.

    You about done being bitter about somebody else's success?

  20. Incredibly stupid on Six Retailers Announce Recall of Buckyballs and Buckycubes · · Score: 5, Informative

    There was a big hoo-ha in Australia about 6mo ago where a 12 year old kid swallowed a bunch of them that were sitting on a high shelf in his father's locked study. So the kid, who is 12 and should have known better, went into his fathers office, climbed up the shelf, pulled down metal balls and proceeded to eat them. The mother went on to campaign for them to be pulled from Australian stores, which they were 4 months later.

    Now the infuriating thing about this is that because of one *incredibly* stupid kid everybody doesn't get some awesome toys. My 26 year old brother in law is pretty annoyed because he spends a lot of his free time tinkering with big blocks of them and now he can't get anymore. These are not children's toys and it is foolish to ban them entirely because some dumbass kid was stupid. By that logic you'd have to ban every adult product on the logic that it was not safe for children

  21. Really? on Australia and South Africa To Share the Square Kilometer Array · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You know, you could just give it to one of us. We can take bad news. What the hell even is this? Some kind of game children played in the 90's where everybody won? I was under the impression that we were doing science.
