  1. Re: This is disgustingly insensitive on One Astronomer's Quest To Reinstate Pluto As a Planet · · Score: 1

    well the opposite of God is...

  2. .\\// No other text required. on Leonard Nimoy Dies At 83 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    No comment text.

  3. Re:Sounds great, but... on Inventors Revolutionize Beekeeping · · Score: 1

    Awesome. All the way around.

  4. Re:Multiple Revenue Streams on Pandora Pays Artists $0.001 Per Stream, Thinks This Is "Very Fair" · · Score: 1

    Probably not, but at least you would have spent a dollar, so you would have felt like you contributed to the artist scene and you could sleep at night. Just like when you give a pan-handler a dollar instead of actually donating time at a charity.

  5. Multiple Revenue Streams on Pandora Pays Artists $0.001 Per Stream, Thinks This Is "Very Fair" · · Score: 1

    If you don't like how much Pandora is paying the artists it hosts, then sign up for premium. Better yet, buy the damn artists album or swag.
    It's almost crazy to think that the artist is able to get his/her songs to play on Spotify, Pandora AND the radio. This combined with actual sales sounds lucrative. Most of us only get paid from one place at a time.

  6. Re:Tragic series on Wheel of Time TV Pilot Producers Sue Robert Jordan's Widow For Defamation · · Score: 1

    I made it through the first 4-5 books, then had to wait for the next. A few years later I made it from #1 - #5 or #6, but now that the series is "done", perhaps I'll pick it up again.

  7. Re:Some of those are married on Mars One: Final 100 Candidates Selected · · Score: 1

    I have one of these policies. Not that I'd ever follow thru with it, but it's nice to know I have the option for some peace and quiet.

  8. Re:This whole thing is a disaster waiting to happe on Mars One: Final 100 Candidates Selected · · Score: 1

    I'd sit thru a lot of Brand X commercials to see Jerry Springer 2.0.

  9. Re:Time for men's liberation on Two New Male Birth Control Chemicals In Advanced Stages · · Score: 1

    with a convex mirror.

  10. Re:Sigh... Yet another scam on Mars One: Final 100 Candidates Selected · · Score: 1

    Using a comparable agency is not an argument.

  11. Re:The moon on NASA Releases Details of Titan Submarine Concept · · Score: 1

    I got that part. I was griping about the fact that we have recoiled from the thought of people being further away than tweeting distance.

  12. The moon on NASA Releases Details of Titan Submarine Concept · · Score: 1

    Is that on the list somewhere? Because I think dealing with people and the base hostile environment of space needs to be solved before we think about putting people in a sub pointed at another ocean.

  13. Data by the GIG still? on Verizon Dropping Data Rates, But Current Customers Have To Call · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I know y'all knock T-Mobile for the pink, but for 5+ years, I've been happy with "unlimited everything".

  14. Re:The sad part? on DEA Planned To Monitor Cars Parked At Gun Shows Using License Plate Readers · · Score: 1

    Technically, slavery is legal as long as the person has been convicted of a crime and it is deemed as the punishment.

    So explain why so many criminals are sitting around all day watching TV instead of planting/harvesting corn for my e85 vehicle.

  15. Re:Why not a gull on DARPA Wants Help Building a Drone That Flies Like a Hawk · · Score: 1

    Only if the enemy is hiding in a trawler.

    ...or McDonalds.

  16. Re:Dragons on Researchers Harness E. Coli To Produce Propane · · Score: 1

    I can work with that.

  17. Re:T-Mobile's Reponse on FTC Says T-Mobile Made Hundreds of Millions From Bogus SMS Charges · · Score: 2

    T-Mobile provides my cell service. On a couple occassions I have had to call and get something redacted from my bill. The CSRs were very helpful with getting these items removed and they were listed as full refunds. I also check my bill every month before I pay it, and I know what the amount is supposed to be.

    Bills that can be dynamic in nature should not be set up on autopay with no notifications.

  18. Amazon should know better on FAA Bans Delivering Packages With Drones · · Score: 5, Funny

    Drones are for delivering missiles.

  19. Re:This I didn't expect. on China Starts Outsourcing From ... the US · · Score: 1

    Are you from China?

  20. Re:Chicago Blackhawks too? on Washington Redskins Stripped of Trademarks · · Score: 2

    Braves?
    On a legitimate note, who would choose a derogatory name for themselves? I notice that Corporate entity "ProductsThatSuckAndArentVacuums" is still available.

  21. Re:remember when Walmart was all "Buy American!" ? on Kingston and PNY Caught Bait-and-Switching Cheaper Components After Good Reviews · · Score: 1

    Must have been bad specs on the memory. He seemed willing to pay for good equipment.

  22. Re:Being a mutant is something you are born as on Mutant Registration vs. Vaccine Registration · · Score: 1

    So are you saying that Mutants shouldn't have a choice to be put on the registry, whereas unvaccinated folks should?

  23. Re:Infectious diseases ... on Mutant Registration vs. Vaccine Registration · · Score: 1

    Perhaps everyone gets a patch punchcard with the important vaccines. Turn it into a social game. You known how those kids like their games.

    "But Mom! Jimmy got the polio vaccine last week, why can't I?"

  24. Re:Private Enterprise Saves the Day! on SpaceX To Present Manned Dragon Capsule · · Score: 2

    GUTS: Getting Us To Space!

  25. Re:What a complete waste of time and money on Virgin Galactic Passengers May Just Miss Going into Space · · Score: 1

    For any new tech it cannot be known how far it's impact will be. Could you or I have guessed that the iPhone would have caused Microsoft to attempt to create Windows Metro?

    Anything they do to make "space" (or almost space) cooler is good. Virgin Galactic's current iteration does seem to cap at some place "less than geosyncronous orbit", but there aren't any other companies trying to exist in that space, so they don't have a business plan to copy.
