  1. Energy As Currency on PayPal Spaces Out With Paypal Galactic · · Score: 1

    Space travel will require very dense energy sources. So, it is logical that when we get to the point of space currency being a real issue, the equivalent of a barrel of oil will probably fit in your pocket. Seriously, though, when we've got robots designing and building even better robots, energy will be the only thing that matters... especially if we are flooding the market with whole new planets of real estate.

  5. 23 regenerations??? on Matt Smith Leaves "Doctor Who" · · Score: 1

    River Song decided the Doctor was "worth it" and saved his life, giving up all her regenerations to do so. Did any of these transfer?

  6. Has Monsanto proven... on Supreme Court Rules For Monsanto In Patent Case · · Score: 1

    Has Monsanto proven that they have taken reasonable steps to prevent pollination where it is "unauthorized"? If my neighbor's "RoundUp Ready" (yuk, btw) crop of soybeans pollinates my field, am I just screwed?

    Brilliant! Take a noise sample at the start with a phone app, enter in the make model and year, get hints, and then enter the cause when found to contribute to the data set.

  12. Yeah, that's why the ACLU keeps suing... on Obama Announces Open Data Policy With Executive Order · · Score: 2

    Obama continued Bush stance's on seeking dismissal of a lawsuit to order a federal court to review the Bush administration's warrantless spying program. ACLU sued his administration. The ACLU also sued Obama for the release of government records on drone strikes that killed U.S. citizens in Yemen. The groups Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and the National Security Archive sued to access to millions of missing White House emails over Bush's two terms in office. Obama refused to reverse the Bush admin's position. A federal judge ordered the Obama administration to release secret evidence it says justifies the continued imprisonment of over 100 Guantanamo Bay prisoners. In a report to the UN Human Rights Council, Philip Alston, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, said US secrecy around the drone program is undermining international law. Obama had responded to a question comparing Bradley Manning to Pentagon analyst Daniel Ellsberg, who in 1971 leaked the Pentagon Papers, detailing the secret history of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. According to President Obama, the cases are not similar because, 'Ellsberg's material wasn't classified the same way.' In fact, the material disclosed in the Pentagon Papers was designated Top Secret'”the highest secrecy designation under law'”whereas the material allegedly leaked by Manning to WikiLeaks was marked 'secret' or 'classified,' among the lowest-level secrecy designations.
