  1. Re:Russians did it before these guys on Camera Gun Would Let Hunters Get Killer Wildlife Shots · · Score: 1

    And here is a video of this evil KGB weapon in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tBNb_k4fEE

  2. Movies in a gym on Apple Unveils New iPad · · Score: 1

    I need a pad to watch movies while running in a gym. Is this new marvel going to have a bluetooth that does not delay? Friends, anybody knows of any bluetooth pad/headset pair that is friendly to each other and solve that horrible buffering issue?

  3. Re:That'll work well. on Academics Not Productive Enough? Sack 'em · · Score: 1

    If they publish more, the quota will go up. Come to think about it, they need to make sure publication per dollar is higher than outsourced.

  4. Where do we get fertilizers? on Carbohydrate-Based Synthesis To Replace Petroleum Derived Hydrocarbons? · · Score: 2
    To make any significant amount of bio*, we need fertilizers in general and nitro in particular, which is produced directly from natural gas. Yes, we could use electrolysis, but it'd take much more energy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process

    BTW, we are, in a sense, made from gas. The process eventually generates half of our protein and feeds at least 1/3 of humanity. But without it there probably would be no WWI, Revolution, WWII... It was developed by the same guy who created Cyclon-B. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclon_B

  5. Here are some Russian folks combining private drones with rather impressive image tech. Anti-government meeting in Moscow http://www.airpano.ru/files/Moscow-Bolotnaya-Square-Rally/start_r.html Occupy Washington http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMzyvKzyL58&feature=player_embedded And more from around the world http://www.airpano.ru/

  6. Re:Why dance around the issue? on The Zuckerberg Tax · · Score: 1

    How about a geek solution. The problem is that rich get too much money "unnaturally". Everything stable in the world is normally distributed. Wealth is not - tails are too fat. Systems with exponential parameters are not stable. So, let's tax until the distribution is normal with given sigma. That sigma can be set depending on economic conditions. Yes, that would force some to pay 90% and some to receive refunds.
