  1. Not New.. on X-ray Generator Fits In the Palm of Your Hand · · Score: 0

    You can do this with Tungsten in a vacuum tube connected to a high-voltage source, all the electronics for that have been able to fit in the palm of your hand since the 60's.

  2. Re:Irrefutable fact on Disentangling Facts From Fantasy In the World of Edison and Tesla · · Score: 0

    I sense an argument along the lines of Kirk > Picard coming up.

    Not even close. Tesla was a scientist, Edison was a businessman (and a pretty low-class one at that). While Tesla had a wide range of interdisciplinary inventions he created himself, Edison paid people to research and claimed their creations as his own - Edison was so corrupt he attempted to push DC over 2 and 3 phase AC in spite of overwhelming research showing AC carried better - he nearly had us all on DC through the exploitation of his monopoly, but ultimately he failed because you can't beat scientific fact with shady tactics - Science wins, always - in relation, Tesla wins vs Edison, Tesla was a scientist, Edison was a shame.

  3. From the same people who brought you... on Supervolcano Drilling Plan Gets Go-Ahead · · Score: 0

    The faster-than-light results from a loose data cable.

    The e-CAT.

    The mob.

    Incarceration of scientists for failing to predict earthquakes (and no advancements in the field).

  4. Re:"Level playing field" is a sham on NASA's Hansen Calls Out Obama On Climate Change · · Score: 0

    I'd agree, but would like to ask - because this has been bugging me for a couple years now - when did the war on emissions change from CFC's and Carbon Monoxide to Carbon Dioxide as the big bad kill-the-puppies thing for the environment? Whomever came to the decision to switch, it seems like a fundamentally bad tactic unless it's simply reaching the time-to-cover-our-asses time when everyone finds out you're full of shit - apparently hinging on "we forgot the trees metabolize CO2".

    99.99999% of people never want to do anything the same way. America is going down the crapper because anyone who can subjugate individual rights will do so while acting like some stock footage of 1% of the population is 99.99999% of the population - add all the 1%'s up in the worst manner possible for Human rights, and you have us.

    Sensibility would be just having it in place where it happened - we all know all the world's phonies come from L.A.

  7. Re:It's even dumber than that. on Billionaires and Polymaths Expected To Unveil a Plan To Mine Asteroids · · Score: 0

    The space rock allows you to harvest resources for use in space without paying an enormous sum to lift those resources into space.

    >I'm sorry, but no, this isn't a good idea.

    Well, I'm sure you are much better at identifying profit than a few losers with unaffiliated backgrounds who have built up an enormous amount of wealth in their lives.

    If you're not a troll, I am deeply sorry that God felt the need to make you into a retard and grant you the ability to type.

  9. Re:Baloney on Magical Thinking Is Good For You · · Score: 0

    And to be fair: a heart transplant from a convicted killer isn't necessarily a bad thing to be sketched out by. It could be that the convicted killer had some transmissible disease (recognized yet or not) that caused him to kill or a false conviction (or a for-profit harvesting racket in some places).
