    Sh*t just got real... Lets see if Anonymous has something to say about this now.

  2. Re:Um? on Controlled Quantum Levitation Used To Build Wipeout Track · · Score: 1

    Its still real to me dammit! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8HhXaFtZ10

  3. Is it only I on Mathematics Says Romney and Santorum Tied In Iowa · · Score: 1

    Is it only I that gets an icky smirky on the sentence: "the total number of caucus votes in the Iowa caucus, 'eking out a victory' " rather than on the news?

  4. But of course they would on The GoDaddy Saga Continues · · Score: 5, Funny

    If they create artificial means so that their customers would have trouble moving away from them, that would mean more customers, more publicity, a more tech-savvy image, robustness and.. Oh wait...

  5. Re:Common Knowledge on Out of Sight, Out of Mind · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The phenomenon is that when you move through a doorway that you have some subconscious trigger to forget (you are somewhere else, no need to remember anymore)

    This, as well as the original post, are so completely false in logic that I can't even begin to describe it. Ok I will try to begin though.

    Of course, people who would be in an experiment, and would go through a door, would have different short term management than those who don't. Going through a door requires some calculations: opening it, closing it, the surprise of the environment of the next room, the risk of walking through the door (what lies beyond is somewhat random before you open the door/cross it, adjustment to the different light/temperature/humidity conditions, and many more.

    Those all don't happen consciously, but neither the short term memory is handled consciously. As a direct result, due to these factors all being way more important for the survival of the person, take high priority in the short term memory, with the direct results the test produces...

  6. Re:I don't care if it is harmless on Researchers Say Carrier IQ Isn't Logging Data, Texts · · Score: 1

    Android doesn't, the carrier does, that's why they put it in.

    Whoa, wait a sec. It really bothers me that people suggest (and the article also) that carriers need my DEVICE to send them the info of how I use their service? Don't they have like a log of everything I've ever done with my phone? How do they charge me then? Shall I promise I will be a good boy and not exceed my cheap monthly plan?

  7. Cryogenic suspension... on Scientists Cryo-Freeze Coral Reef · · Score: 1

    So, they are actually killing them to help "prevent extinction"?
