  2. Re:Then why not a space escalator? on Space Elevators Face Wobble Problem · · Score: 1
    "trans-continental conveyor belts"

    I put my luggage on one of those and it catches up with me on the other side of the continent.

  3. Detecting sophistication on Google Patents Detecting, Tracking, Targeting Kids · · Score: 1

    The summary makes it sound as if Google is detecting kids because they perform more sophisticated searches.

  4. Solution for pedestrians on Blue Lights To Reset Internal Clocks · · Score: 1

    So this is why it is a good idea for pedestrians to have blue-lit umbrellas.

  8. Re:We'll be fine on Newly Discovered Fungus Threatens World Wheat Crop · · Score: 4, Funny

    Don't worry. The UN will publish a strongly worded resolution telling the fungus to stop. If that doesn't work they'll send a wheat-keeping force.

  9. Re:It Was Scraped? on Israelis Sue Government For Laser Cannons · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Well, if you're in Israel you apparently can sue. In the USA the Second Amendment allows you to own your own laser cannon but the government is not required to buy one for you.

  10. I, for one, ... on Bad Science Journalism Gets Schooled · · Score: 1

    ... welcome our new underdog overlords.

  14. Wolfman Jack Blasting At You... on How Spam Was Done 70 Years Ago · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is also how Wolfman Jack became famous, blasting across the Mexican border with 250,000 watts (legal, but five times more power than U.S. clear channel stations could use).

  15. Re:Mars? on Titan's Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth · · Score: 1

    send out samples of these organisms to Mars, Europa, and Titan, and wait billions of years

    So, it's too early in the week for thee to be creating?

  20. Bananas! Alert! on Cell Phone Radiation Detectors Proposed to Protect Against Nukes · · Score: 1

    The summary left out the best part. Sensors could detect high natural sources of radiation, such as bananas, so have to be adjusted to ignore them.

    Imagine no Beowulf cluster of these.

    The machines will always print out the correct things.
