  1. Re:Can I have one? on Warp Drive Might Be Less Impossible Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    yeah, the mass equivalent of the energy released by the largest atomic bomb ever exploded (50MT) was around 2.3kg. Even that tiny amount of energy proves difficult to contain for practical purposes.

  2. One day? I'm watching it right now on An Olympic Games For Enhanced Athletes? · · Score: 2

    The 2012 Tour de France

  3. Re:meh on Details of Chinese Moon Rocket Emerge · · Score: 3, Funny

    Awww, how cute is it that "people" living outside of the U.S. think they're human? Silly foreigners.

  4. Re:Verified, and will continue on Thomas Drake: You're Automatically Suspicious Until Proven Otherwise · · Score: 1

    Yes, good luck with your second amendment rights against the government's invisible fucking airplanes and remote control assassin drones. That'll be a stand up fight for sure.

  5. Re:Recommended Reading on FBI To Review Use of Forensic Evidence In Thousands of Cases · · Score: 1

    If they didn't have the paperwork to prove the orchids were legal then the orchids were not legal. Sorry but this is a bad example. And given that it comes from the Washington Times, you know there is more to the story. Just another attempt by the looney right to show how all regulation is bad and hurts innocent people (i mean, how were they supposed to know that trafficking in endangered species is wrong). Stupid foreign orchids have more rights that good red blooded american citizens, why, the gestapo is waiting just around the corner. every corner.

  6. Re:Vaccination? on Florida Accused of Concealing Worst Tuberculosis Outbreak In 20 Years · · Score: 3, Informative

    The vaccine doesn't give 100% protection and it also causes a positive reaction to the skin test for TB, so it makes it harder to detect cases of latent TB.

  7. Re:I'm going to overlook a large portion of your b on Florida Accused of Concealing Worst Tuberculosis Outbreak In 20 Years · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Currently just about every one of our southern states is racing toward third world status just as fast as they can and you think giving them more power is a good idea? You don't have states like Mississipi and South Carolina in Canada.

  8. Didn't ViewSonic have a 22" 200ppi display... on Analyzing the New MacBook Pro · · Score: 2

    ... like 10 years ago? Well, hopefully since apple stuck their logo on it, high ppi displays will be the next big thing. It managed to convince people that tablets aren't the totally useless toys they are. Maybe it will do the same for something that's actually useful.

  9. Re:not so sure on The Link Between Genius and Insanity · · Score: 1

    Obviously not speaking from experience. LSD pretty much makes any sort of social interaction impossible. And it makes you care very much that others might think what you're doing is strange. Because they all know, man, THEY ALL KNOW!!!. The chickens. Soooo pink! Wait, where did this come from?

  10. Re:Not unique on The Link Between Genius and Insanity · · Score: 2

    Well, hypomania has been linked to higher creativity and definitely higher productivity. Mania also causes delusions of grandeur, so a manic person is more likely to think communicate their ideas because they think they are all brilliant. Occasionally they might be. A normal or depressed person might not bother communicating their ideas, because they think they stupid, even when they aren't. Manic people aren't shy.

  11. Re:Tough call on New Evidence Indicates Amelia Earhart Survived For a Time on Pacific Atoll · · Score: 1

    They didn't survive? Well, neither has anyone else who was born in 1897.

  12. Two Words: on Flying Car Makes Successful Maiden Flight · · Score: 1

  13. Awesome on Jeff Bezos To Retrieve Apollo 11 Rocket Engines · · Score: 1

    Now I guess we know why he can't afford benefits or safe working conditions for amazon fulfillment center workers.

  14. For a long time on WikiLeaks Begins Releasing Stratfor Internal Emails · · Score: 5, Interesting

    after the Stratfor website went live, one could log in with the username/password combo of "username" and "password". If that's how much attention they paid to protecting their rather expensive subscription service, one wonders is if the security of their email servers was any better.

  15. Doctors tend to be a pretty conservative bunch on Muslim Medical Students Boycott Darwin Lectures · · Score: 1

    There's plenty of crazy fundy christian doctors out there too. Ron Paul is a doctor. He's also a nutcase that doesn't believe in evolution. I don't really see what your view on evolution has to do with your ability to practice medicine. Of course, neither does your ability in organic chemistry or calculus, but that doesn't stop them from being litmus tests for entry to med school.

  16. Re:I wonder on Drug-Resistant Superbugs Sweeping Across Europe · · Score: 1

    And that's why the Pilgrims gave us the Constitution and built the Grand Canyon.

  17. It's the queers. on Giant Chinese Desert Mystery Structure Solved · · Score: 1, Informative

    They're in it with the aliens. They're building landing strips for gay martians. I swear to God.

  18. There is no Polaroid on Polaroid: This Time It's Digital · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's just a brand name now that's licensed out. Edwin Land's company is long gone.

  19. What's missing here? on Libraries Release Most-Censored Books List · · Score: -1, Troll

    Strange that there are no examples of right wing hate literature on the list. I mean with the country being overrun by freedom hating liberals and all, you would think the list would consist almost exclusivly of works by "conservative" authors.

  20. Read this enlightening article from 1979 on Why Star Wars Should be Left to the Fans · · Score: 1

    Before Empire, before Lucas started pretenting to take Star Wars seriously, back when he still thought he was going to be a "serious" filmmaker.

    The Man who Made Star Wars

    He basically say he made it for the money, he made it to sell toys, he did it on the cheap, and it wasn't a very good movie. Remember, he couldn't even be bothered to direct the next two installments himself. He really had no idea what he had made.

  21. Re:Sigh on Airborne Boeing Laser Blasts Ground Target · · Score: 2, Insightful

    First surface mirrors like the ones used in frickin' lasers can be made much more reflective than ordinary household mirrors. Covering a tank with 99.99% reflective precision mirrors would get awfully expensive, and any bit of dust or grease on them would ruin the whole deal.

  22. Re:Ski instructors know the art already... on Japanese Researchers Create Skiing Robot · · Score: 1

    If you have lateral flexibility in your knees, you have a problem.

  23. star? on Steve Wozniak To Appear On Dancing With the Stars · · Score: 1

    if they keep lowering the bar like this, pretty soon everyone can call themselves stars. i think they should changed the title to
    "dancing with some people who's names you think you know but aren't sure why."

  24. The Nazis... on A Waste Gasification Plant In a Truck · · Score: 2, Funny

    did this back in the '40s. you don't want to be like hitler, do you? burn fossil fuels like every other red-blooded american, dammit!

  25. Re:Prolly a good thing for India's stability on One In 100 Carry Mutation For Heart Disease · · Score: 1

    there are more kinds of heart disease than coronary artery disease you know. this particular gene predisposes one to cardiomyopathy, not atherosclerosis. so your treatment plan would just have the effect of making these patients miserable for 40 years before they keeled over from heart failure.
