  1. Re:Mass Producability. on Nanotube Transistors · · Score: 3

    "IBM researchers said they've found a process by which they can form batches of nanotube transistors, which are as small as 10 atoms across. Until now, nanotubes had to be positioned one at a time or by random chance, IBM said."

    batches != individually maufactured

  2. Re:What are regulations stopping now? on Could We Have Had Cell Phones In The 60s? · · Score: 5

    Personal tactical nuclear weapons. Ideal for home defense and we've had the tech since at least 1945!

  3. Apteryx on Feather Dino Fossil · · Score: 4

    "It's conceivable that smaller dinosaurs like this one and even the young of larger species like Tyrannosaurus rex may have needed featherlike body coverings to maintain their body temperature."

    It's also conceivable that they needed feather like coverings to impress their girlfriends.

  4. Re:Lie back on Retinal Scanning Displays · · Score: 2

    I remember a few years back some woman sued a supermarket chain claiming that the barcode scanners blinded her. Anyone remember this or have more info? I assume she was unsuccessful since now they let everyone scan groceries. OTH they also let everyone pump their own gas and that's certainly not completely safe.
    Never mind I'll just discuss this amongst myself.

  5. Re:Scary stuff? on Space Station BSOD · · Score: 1

    It did sound systemic: they all had trouble accessing their hard drives

  6. Where the $$$ are on EFF Releases Public Music License · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong but don't most bands get the majority of their pay from concerts? If I'm right than the open license is an excellent strategy: Get 'em listening, then next time you're in town they'll come see you perform.

  7. Re:I'm an IT guy and I hate computers on Playing With IT, And Why It Matters · · Score: 1

    For me it was Physical Chemistry. I have to say though that today I refuse to do work that I hate. It is too costly to my emotional well-being.
    Money isn't everything. Good thing programming pays so well!
