  1. That's extreme science on Federal Study: Marijuana Use Doesn't Increase Auto Crash Rates · · Score: 1

    Test subjects underwent sex and age adjustment, but were still dangerous driving under the influence of alcohol.

  2. Is it really a mystery? on Millions of Spiders Seen In Mass Dispersal Event In Nova Scotia · · Score: 1

    ...or do they just not want to live on this planet anymore?

  3. Title confusion on Elite: Dangerous Dumps Offline Single-Player · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure a game titled Elite: Dangerous Dumps would be particularly good, even with a offline single player option.

  4. Are they not concerned... on Australian Courts Will Be Able To See Your Browsing History · · Score: 1

    that this will inevitably lead to kangaroo courts?

  5. Plot twist on Researchers Discover New Plant "Language" · · Score: 1

    The scientist behind the study is M. Night Shyamalan

  6. Re:Best movie plot criminal uses of driverless car on FBI Concerned About Criminals Using Driverless Cars · · Score: 1

    3) Have a car chase where both the police and the robbers are using driverless cars, following all the traffic rules

  7. Insurance industry on Seat Detects When You're Drowsy, Can Control Your Car · · Score: 1

    And exactly how long would it take for the car insurance industry to demand access to the data to "ensure you get the lowest market rate"? That's how it works. First you get a low premium for incorporating the technology, and then when the market gets saturated to a certain level, they switch and you can no longer get a quote (or set so ridiculously high that the difference is debatable) without having the tech installed.

  8. Only certain search words, not entire pages? on 'Hidden From Google' Remembers the Sites Google Is Forced To Forget · · Score: 1

    I believed the requests were only to remove certain key words? So if someone puts up an article about Forest Whitaker and Battlefield Earth, F.W. could get his name removed from the search results in that context. However, the original article would still contain his name, and you could still find the article if searching for Battlefield Earth.

  9. Those four countries on Court Allowed NSA To Spy On All But 4 Countries · · Score: 1

    They're partner countries to the US on the Echelon program, aren't they?

  10. Re:Any and all data unverified should be inadmissi on How Often Do Economists Commit Misconduct? · · Score: 1

    In personality tests, a common statement to be evalued is: "Facts speak for themselves" followed by "Facts frequently require interpretation". There is a need to define what the relevant data are as well as agreed practices to interpretation.

  11. Analysis on Smartphones To Monitor Schizophrenics · · Score: 1

    Is blocking app permissions seen as a sign of relapse for paranoid schizophrenics?

  12. A step in the right direction on US Secret Service Wants To Identify Snark · · Score: 1

    Looks like all they're trying to do is acquire a good sense of humour. Lots of it.
