  1. Fundamental problems, both physical and monetarily on Why We Can't Have the Male Pill (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Women have a natural state where they no longer ovulate (pregnant or breast feeding) and female birth control works by tricking their bodies into going into that natural state. The big problem with male birth control is that there is no natural state where men don't produce viable sperm. All hormonal based male birth controls force the male body into some sort of unnatural state, which always leads to unacceptable side effects. Now physical barrier based male birth control might work better but its not as profitable because those methods are typically long lasting and more permanent, so the drug companies don't get a regular kickback as you don't have to buy pills every month.

  2. Valve Box on Valve: Linux Better Than Windows 8 for Gaming · · Score: 2

    Now the interesting question is if Valve will release a standardized system specs and the a steam linux release creating a de facto "Valve Box".

  3. Re:Possibilities... on FBI Denies It Held iPhone UDIDs Stolen By AntiSec · · Score: 1

    1. AntiSec is lying. 2. FBI is lying. 3. AntiSec is telling the truth and the FBI's methods of obtaining the UDID codes means they can't admit to it.

    aren't 2 and 3 the same thing?

  4. Corrupted Professors on With 'Access Codes,' Textbook Pricing More Complicated Than Ever · · Score: 1

    When I was in college I had two classes where the professors taught from a book that they had written. The first one felt so self-conscious about this that he would refund his royalties to any student who presented him a receipt showing they bought the book. The second put all the homework in tear away sheets at the end of the book and wouldn't accept photocopies, forcing everyone to buy his book new. I never reported the second guy to any ethics board and I still regret it.
