  1. Re:but but but virtual particles... on EU Scientists Working On Laser To Rip a Hole In Spacetime · · Score: 1

    this is also true

  2. but but but virtual particles... on EU Scientists Working On Laser To Rip a Hole In Spacetime · · Score: 1

    don't actually exist. virtual particles are just mathematical simplicities. They are only a *model* of how physics works. Even in the name- they are "virtual" because they are just mathematical abstractions. nothing more.

  3. lasers != light barrier? on Light Barrier Repels Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    How are they producing this light? Incandescently? As far as I could tell from the article, they ARE using lasers- what else can produce high-intensity light at such a focus with that kind of efficiency? Now obviously it's different from aiming and zapping lasers at the bugs, but don't imply lasers are not being used unless they actually aren't.

  4. Re:Bring'em on! on Light Barrier Repels Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    Except we don't need to get rid of mosquitoes, just malaria. Does anyone know how we exterminated malaria in the United States? DDT. The scientist who invented it won the Nobel Prize of Medicine for it. But we can't use DDT in Africa because it causes 'undue strain on the environment.' You know what causes undue strain on the environment? 225 Million cases of malaria (in humans alone) every year. We already have extermination methods for mosquitoes and malaria. Environmentalists just don't care about the deaths that come from malaria and want them to continue.

  5. Re:I bet the publishers aren't happy on Amazon Launching eBook Lending Program, Publishers Unenthusiastic · · Score: 1

    I would almost label this troll-like, but it's too funny. And depressing. To people who don't get it, read: digital music pirating.

  6. force bing on people (?) on Why Microsoft Embraced Gaming · · Score: 1

    This would be the only way I would use bing, but honestly I probably wouldn't mind. Xboxes are for gaming. When they do other things fine. And ok I'll just use whatever search comes with it. Actual good move by M$.

  7. Re:WERE DOOMED on Asteroid Passes Closer To Earth Than the Moon on Nov 8 · · Score: 1

    haha sadly many people wont get it

  8. The sandworm movement? on Is the Maker Movement Making It Cool For Kids To Be Nerds? · · Score: 2

    I wonder what it says about me when I immediately think of Dune when I hear the word "maker"

  9. Re:What's the difference .... on Ohio Emergency Responders Stage Mock Zombie Invasion · · Score: 1

    zombies pursue brains instead of avoiding all intelligence

  10. Re:The life cycle of a trend on Ohio Emergency Responders Stage Mock Zombie Invasion · · Score: 1

    um. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme is not an internet thing. And since they have been around as long as human beings had thought, I'm pretty certain they were here longer than the concept of a zombie. Although it is true that you don't need brain function to be a zombie, but you do to be memetically influenced... hmm.

  11. Eleanor Rigby on Earth Officially Home To 7 Billion Humans · · Score: 0

    Ahh! Look at all the lonely people! Where do they all come from?!

  12. Another term for "nuclear winter" on Public Supports Geo-Engineering · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "The survey focused on "solar radiation management", which involves reflecting energy from the Sun away from the Earth's surface, and received support from 72% of respondents." Exactly like a nuclear winter. Except with 72% support. You really can artificially get any result from a survey.

  13. Re:Christian "University"?? on IT Shops Coping With Overloaded 2.4GHz WiFi Band · · Score: 1, Informative

    yeah you're an idiot

  14. Re:I expect... on Study Finds No Link Between Mobile Phones and Cancer (Again) · · Score: 1
