  1. Heinlein? on Scientists Develop Solar Cell That Can Also Emit Light · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Didn't Heinlein come up with a similar concept? In the story with the moving roads?

  2. Re:Win Win Win Except... on Fluke Donates Multimeters To SparkFun As Goodwill Gesture · · Score: 2

    Sparkfun is trying to divert at least some of the meters to other countries, where the Fluke trademark does not apply.

  3. Good PR Move on Fluke Donates Multimeters To SparkFun As Goodwill Gesture · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Fluke moves from villain to hero.

    $30K is cheap for good PR.

  4. Re:How could you do it? on Interviews: Ask J. Michael Straczynski What You Will · · Score: 1

    Mod this up, because he beat me to it.

  5. Re:You see this in small businesses on Why Is Microsoft Setting More Money On Fire With Surface 2? · · Score: 1

    I think they were in SUCH a rush to get ANYTHING out the door, they literally had no clue what was in the bill.

    "We'll read it after we pass it", was really meant by (Bless Her Heart) Pelosi.

    Now, stop shitting in a M$ bash with politics...

  6. You see this in small businesses on Why Is Microsoft Setting More Money On Fire With Surface 2? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You see small businesses make this mistake all the time: "If we only double down, and do what is NOT working HARDER..."

    Then, they go under. If M$ does not shed the Ballmer curse soon, Apple will BUY them.

  7. In use now on The Post-Lecture Classroom · · Score: 1

    My son is taking Algebra II class in college that is using this method. So far, so good. He says that being able to watch the lecture, then go into class to ask the instructor questions relating to the lecture and the homework is like having a tutor.

    I don't know how well it would work for more "not centric" classes, though.

  8. Re:Jackpot? on Tesla Motors To Pay Off Government Loan 5 Years Early · · Score: 5, Funny

    If I win the Powerball Saturday, I may buy one. If I can afford it...

  9. Breaking News! on EU To Vote On Proposal That Could Ban All Online Pornography · · Score: 1

    EU council votes to disconnect EU from the entire internet...

  10. Buggy Whips on Don't Want a Phonebook? Give Up Your Privacy · · Score: 1

    Dang you whippersnappers with your fancy "internets" and "tubes".

    You just don't get the intimacy of that fancy yellow paper.
    Comes in handy as bum wipe if you run out of corn cobs.

     

  11. Re:I also approve... on Trekkies Vote 'Vulcan' Into the Solar System · · Score: 1

    You SERIOUSLY thought that was not intentional?

    And miss the ensuing Kirk -vs- Picard flame war?

    NO WAY!

  12. I also approve... on Trekkies Vote 'Vulcan' Into the Solar System · · Score: 2

    Make it so.

  13. Re:Sounds familiar on Fruit Flies Medicate Offspring With Alcohol · · Score: 3, Informative

    Only when they go to Applebees.

  14. Re:Whadda? on Book Review: To Save Everything, Click Here · · Score: 1

    It would be the PERFECT kitchen to cook sharks in.

  15. Re:I just want to be able to microwave fishsticks on Book Review: To Save Everything, Click Here · · Score: 2

    Try putting them in those hot pocket sleeves. You will get a little surface browning.

  16. Learn to Cook on Book Review: To Save Everything, Click Here · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Most people just dump a can into a pan or throw something into the microwave.

    Cooking is a skill that takes time and study. Actually, some youtube videos are pretty good guides to the basics. If you want to REALLY learn culinary basics, you either have to take a class or make a lot of crappy meals first. With cooking, like most things worth doing, you have to PRACTICE.

  17. Re:Whoosh! on Asteroid 2012 DA14 Approaches · · Score: 1

    They have always made kind of a dull rumbling sound when I shoot them.

  18. T Minus 5 minutes till Impact on Asteroid 2012 DA14 Approaches · · Score: 1

    ...and counting.

  19. Which Rep Fired You? on Interviews: Ask Derek Khanna About Government Regulations and Technology · · Score: 1

    Which Rep fired you or had you fired? (Because I am pretty sure she is my Rep).

  20. Blow Back on Site Copies Content and Uses the DMCA to Take Down the Original Articles · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The Streisand Effect is starting to kick in.

    Frankly, "reputation management" firms seem to be slime of the lowest form.

  21. Re:FIRE! on FAA To Investigate 787 Dreamliner · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Crap, I wasn't logged in.

    D'oh!

  22. Re:If you have nothing to hide . . . on Texas Attorney General Warns International Election Observers · · Score: -1

    If you have nothing to hide, surely you won't mind the police searching your house, car, body, phone, computer, etc. without a warrant or even probable cause.

    Since you have nothing to hide...

    This shit OSCE is trying to pull is politically motivated, pure and simple. Obama is popular everywhere BUT the US, so they want to insure he is reelected.

    Frankly, I hope Texans lynch the fucking Blue Helmets.

  23. Re:ChemCam image, possible set up for spectroscopy on Curiosity Spies Unidentified, Metallic Object On Mars · · Score: 1

    Looks like a torn piece of foil. Some shielding knocked off during the landing, maybe?

  24. Re:Good way to ruin your refrigeration compressor on BrewPi: Raspberry Pi and Arduino Powered Fermentation Chamber · · Score: 1

    While a neat setup, this is a bit of overkill. I use a Johnson to control my fermentation chamber, with a digital thermometer for precision checking inside.

    Just finished fermenting 13 gallons of Bavarian Amber Lager. It's all in kegs in my backup Keezer/Lager chamber lagering for another six weeks now.

  25. Re:Galactic Barrier on Milky Way Is Surrounded By Halo of Hot Gas · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough, I had the same thought.

    Could be the Continuum, for that matter.
