  1. Re:How ? on Edward Teller: Father of the Hydrogen Bomb · · Score: -1, Troll

    In what way you can disarm Iran, with peaceful mean?

    Perhaps my dislike of the Mideast didn't quite come through clearly by citing the region as "the degenerate cease-pool of Humanity since the Arab scientific revolution ended - several thousand years ago" - why on Earth does it need to be peaceful? Fight fire with fire, nuke the bastards until all the "holy land" is a glass parking lot and sleep easy at night knowing the Human race improved significantly.

  2. Re:Teller and Oppenheimer on Edward Teller: Father of the Hydrogen Bomb · · Score: -1, Troll

    Teller destroyed the career of Robert Oppenheimer for no damn good reason, after which his own graduate students shunned him.

    I have no interest in anything to do about him.

    A) Oppenheimer was a Communist and we were fighting the communists. B) Oppenheimer tried to get the atomic bomb into civilian control whereas Teller pushed for air force (IE military) control. Either A or B above is more than enough reason for his career to have been destroyed. Just imagine if nuclear weapons were in the hands of a civilian group - I for one can't see their non-use since WW2 going down in frequency.

  3. Re:Wrong conclusions on Chrome Users Are Best With Numbers, IE Users Worst · · Score: 1

    Your all idiots, IE drops sessions more often than other browsers and that is all there is to this story.

    "Your" very clever (like the 10 other people who made the same comment) but of course "your" the only one that is not an idiot.

    Sometimes I wonder if there is anything lower than a grammar Nazi - pointing out flaws in a system meant to communicate when there was not issue with the message being communicated as a result of the grammar utilized - yep, definitely more cleverer than you.

  4. Re:Test First on The Ineffectiveness of TSA Body Scanners · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Go back to the old scanners. Try again in a few years with better tech if you actually create some.

    Why would you do that when you can sell useless machines now and then sell slightly less useless machines again in a few years?

    You seem to be under the impression that the scanners are supposed to achieve something other than enriching the people who make them.

    Their not useless, their causing cancer just as intended.

  5. Re:For only a small fee I can watch my own movie? on Warner Bros: New Program To Digitize Your DVDs · · Score: 2

    Wow, what a deal.

    The whole thing only seems illogical if you neglect the actual purpose. If you get everyone to go digital with copy-protection in place and little to no mechanism and/or reason to watch old formats that are recorded - you effectively have a tool to manipulate far more powerful than "old media" every was at it's peak.

  6. Re:I thought this had been covered several years a on Redheads Feel Pain Differently Than the Rest of Us · · Score: 1

    So there's clearly something about MC1R that differentiates pain / killer response; but please stay off the soulless daywalker stuff. It's not helpful and just sounds juvenile.

    Firstly, the article is about Gingers, not Daywalkers - so we can't really touch on daywalkers in this post. Secondly - we already know neither Gingers nor Daywalkers have souls - so you bringing it up was actually pretty juvenile and a mechanism to start the debate up again when it has already been settled.

  7. Re:Not smart Enough? on Scientists Say People Aren't Smart Enough For Democracy To Flourish · · Score: 1

    Can somebody explain to me what they mean by "not smart enough"?

    I would be happy to. I have an IQ of 191, on the extended scale because the actual scale only goes to 134 or 135 or something around there. This is because the average shrink is at best a 130 (apparently even the highest-grade shrink making the tests is about there) - so they don't know _how_ to test for higher intellect outside some specific combinations of answers to see what routes are taken to a solution, but it is essentially speculative. The average person, with an IQ of 100, is barely able to tie to their shoes (in fact most just leave them tied and slide them on and off to "avoid the effort") - let alone vote for the future of a nation.

  9. Re:Are they serious? on Government Should Ban Skinny Models To Curb Anorexia, Say Researchers · · Score: 1

    It only becomes a "slippery slope" when some Napoleonic prick is caught attempting to break the constitution - kind of odd that a fear of public sentiment is a factor without a clause in the constitution to allow for the punishment of people attempting to change the law to circumvent it - after all they are doing it with all the formal procedure required of a bureaucrat and there is nothing to stop them from trying repeatedly.

  10. Bullshit on Computer Programmers Only the 5th Most Sleep Deprived Profession · · Score: 1

    The military is the most sleep deprived profession - sleep deprivation isn't only a training tactic in boot camp, it is also a mechanism to induce stress while in garrison - keeping soldiers on edge enough they don't lose it in war.

  11. First Post on Science and Engineering Workforce Has Stalled In the US · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    For the coveted /. achievement.

    Probably sounds insane to cite, but Rodin coils put out em fields with orbital angular momentum - I've measured it personally from them.

    If only the founding father's included a reciprocity clause in the constitution to the effect of: If you attempt to take away free speech, we cut out your tongue.

    So he took the position there just in time to find out the place is shady, take a bunch of heat, and resign?

    That sucks.

    They don't actually strike me as shady. They offer untested but hopeful treatments to terminal patients with no alternatives at a time when the FDA isn't even equipped to test the safety of stem cells.

    Its proof the 2nd law of thermodynamics is wrong: entropy is neither created nor destroyed! As we get smarter we must too get smaller.

  16. Re:Important to note on LightSquared CEO Resigns Amid Appearance of Bribery · · Score: 2

    He attempt to do what many /.ers say happen all the time, and got busted.

    Actually he got busted because he was trying to bribe his way around a technological limitation that has no known solution and would completely disable the American military - and he's not being tried for treason. I'd hardly say he got busted.

  17. Re:Hurray! on Candidates Sued By Patent Troll For Using Facebook · · Score: 1

    It seems more like this guy is fraking the system over to allow him the freedom to go out and make a difference. You know, if I had a way to pick the pockets of fat cats while giving me the time to spend volunteering in third world countries or doing explorative expeditions - I just might.

    Even neglecting the fact the guy is trying to troll without a patent to sue EVERY CORPORATION ON THE INTERNET - that's actually more despicable than Facebook in my opinion (and not much makes it that low). The guy is a thief, he attempts to steal from the rich and give, not just to the poor, but to the poor in countries with technology so backwards they have little to no hope to make a contribution to the rest of Humanity within the foreseeable future. The only difference this sick bastard is making is to his ego and the pockets of corporations lead by nerds with an affinity for technological innovation (based upon his past "successes".

    ...our natural gas is coming from hydraulic fracturing (fracking)...

    Thank you for clarifying the meaning of "fracking" instead of just using it in a sentence, I'm sure the queef/fart jokes would be unbearable otherwise.

    Science Fiction seems to be growing - I heard a few days ago the people running the Emmies were considering a sci-fi award - this is probably in relation to that.
