  1. Re:Doesn't make any sense on Pop-Under Ads Patented · · Score: 2

    maybe you missed the /. article a few weeks ago about an individual successfully patenting swinging side to side on a swing... you can patent ANYTHING...

  2. hmmm... on Pittsburgh Launches Large, Free, Public WiFi Network · · Score: 2

    link doesn't work, but this has the classic ISP problem built in... don't you have to charge your users AT LEAST your cost?

    a 10MB pipe is not cheap, and at 20 a pop is probably very poor service (technical and customer) i don't see this sticking around too long.

  3. a little comparison... on Study Shows Large Space Tourism Market · · Score: 2

    if you did the same study, except a 'sub-orbital flight' = touching cindy crawfords tits and a trip to space station was all out sex with cindy, i'm sure you would get very similar results with your study.

    the problem, if cindy doesn't want you all up in her business, then the money doesn't matter.

    NASA is not going to want tourists in their space station. cindy is not going to want CmdrTaco up in the puntang.

  12. Re:More like compulsory fees on Kazaa, Verizon Propose Compulsory Music Licensing · · Score: 2

    i haven't seen a single post that includes accurate statistics...

    1,800,000,000 / 12 = 150,000,000 per month. and where do you get off rounding down $200,000,000?!

    this just says that there are 150,000,000+ people per year on the internet that would gain from these services. a fair claim.

    wow you are closed minded.

    there are organismn on earth that survive the temperature changes you describe... they live by the vents on the bottom of the ocean.

    as for evolution, what can a bacteria thrive to EVOLVE to? they are already the top of their food chain, no need. lizards evolved because their was land, and good things on the land. mars is a very bland planet. bacteria is about as good as it gets. any more complex lifeforms could not survive.
