  1. Wow on How the NSA Is Spying On Everyone: More Revelations · · Score: 1

    Glad I'm not in the US!

    oh, wait...

  2. Re:Funny thing about email on Daimler's Solution For Annoying Out-of-office Email: Delete It · · Score: 2

    I'm not sure in what parallel universe you live, but in my part of europe there sure is overtime, and we are surely not getting paid for it. It's even explicit in the contracts that we do not get paid for overtime.

  3. Re:Transparant fish on Transparent Fish Lead to Stem Cell Research Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    That was 15 years ago, kinda proving my point

  4. Re:Transparant fish on Transparent Fish Lead to Stem Cell Research Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    That was kinda the reason its a model system for 30 years.

  5. Transparant fish on Transparent Fish Lead to Stem Cell Research Breakthrough · · Score: 0

    The news here is not the zebrafish. This has been a model system for decades. The news is the origin of the stem cells. Calling zebrafish 'transparent fish' basically means the submitter has no clue or insults the audiences intelligence.

  6. I can't change my fingerprint on DARPA Wants To Kill the Password · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can change my password anytime if I think somebody copied it. I cannot change my fingerprint or retina. There is no way I'm giving random webshops or google my biometric data.

  7. 40%? on Fixing the Humanities Ph.D. · · Score: 3, Informative

    So 60% of phds gets a tenure position and they still complain? In Medical Biology less than 3% gets tenure

  10. Re:Polution tax on Pollution In China Could Be Driving Freak Weather In US · · Score: 1

    Also it increases demand for local labour, as you won't be sending that microwave to china to get repaired

  11. Re:Polution tax on Pollution In China Could Be Driving Freak Weather In US · · Score: 1

    Not everyone can afford a car either. Or a helicopter. Are you the one thats going to decide what is a necessity and what is not? Mind you, 20years ago nobody head microwaves.

  12. Re:Op Out Knowledge? on Should Patients Have the Option To Not Know Their DNA? · · Score: 0

    It is illegal not to know the law. In better phrasing: not knowing the law is not an excuse when you break the law.

  13. Yeah right on Eric Schmidt, Jared Cohen Say Google Data Now Protected From Gov't Spying · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seriously is there anyone that would actually believe such a statement?

  14. Oblig on Will Microsoft IIS Overtake Apache? · · Score: 4, Funny

    At the time Elvis Presley died in 1977, he had 150 impersonators in the US. Now, according to calculations I spotted in a Sunday newspaper colour supplement recently, there are 85,000. Intriguingly, that means one in every 3,400 Americans is an Elvis impersonator. More disturbingly, if Elvis impersonators continue multiplying at the same rate, they will account for a third of the worldâ(TM)s population by 2019.

    Then there's a long way to go. Petrol in Europe is still 6 times more expensive. No, really. 6 times.

  17. Re:its more than just political sensitivity on Bursting the Filter Bubble · · Score: 2

    Just because someone is technically a "layman" in the field doesn't mean that they are less knowledgeable than climate scientists.

    No but it correlates very strongly

    Yeah i know, therefor it said OVER 25 years....

  19. Hail to the uninformed on Make Way For "Mutant" Crops As GM Foods Face Opposition · · Score: 5, Informative

    Is this a joke article? Please.
    We've been using random mutagenesis for over 25 years now to improve seeds, and guess what, we improved our technology over time. Not only is the secondary mutation mitigated via thorough back-crossing, but these days technology moved that only the gene of interest is actually changed. Read some recent patents by Monsanto or Keygene for a clue. This article is fear mongering bullshit that would have had truth in it if it was written in 1975.

  20. Re:Automatic pistol? on Solid Concepts Manufactures First 3D-Printed Metal Pistol · · Score: 1

    Well the official designation is Pistol, Caliber .45, Automatic, M1911A1

  21. And free ddos on Taking Google's QUIC For a Test Drive · · Score: 4, Informative

    The current problem with UDP is that many border routers do not check whether outgoing udp packages are from within their network. This is the base for DNS based ddos attacks. They are very difficult to mitigate on server level without creating openings for Joe job attacks instead... Standardizing on udp for other protocols will emphasize this problem

  22. consistent much? on Edward Snowden Leaks Could Help Paedophiles Escape Police, Says UK Government · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yeah, and sale and possession of firearms enables rapist to threaten and rape children! Yet we don't seem to imply the same logic there. How strange.

    Child rape is becoming the new Godwin. Before we know it Glenn Beck will be using it every other sentence as well.

  24. Re:this is amazing on Reprogrammed Bacterium Speaks New Language of Life · · Score: 1

    No you use this to incorporate nonnatural amino acids into biological production within controlled growth cultures. This results in better usage of the available chemical space, and creation of degradation tolerant peptides. Pharma companies like this.

  25. Welcome back to 10 years ago on Reprogrammed Bacterium Speaks New Language of Life · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Sheesz people, we've been rprogramming trna to use nonnatural amino acides for over 10 years now! Theres even a few companies st up that do just that. The principle of trna modification is old, just their method is new
