  1. Re:Just a thought... on Adding Capsaicin Improves Anesthetic Treatment · · Score: 1

    Bell peppers are sweet, not hot. The ones you're referring to may look like mini bell peppers are actually referred to as Scotch Bonnets(Jamaican Peppers) or Habaneros.

  2. Re:Silly technological overkill on Self-Tuning Electric Guitar · · Score: 1

    Agreed... 12 strings are a bitch to tune, but everything else is just being lazy.

    Why do I suspect that the Forsaken will suddenly have tentacled monsters...?

    Granted, I did see something about Netcraft confirming FreeBSD as dead...

    Or a fear of a false positive... because god knows, those delays don't impact or affect you psychologically, nor do they fuck with your schedule and cause you to miss your plane...

  9. Re:Collision Course on NASA Finds Star With a Tail · · Score: 4, Funny

    Someone better call Bruce.
    Campbell or Willis?

    I'd prefer the former; it would be... groovy.

  10. Re:DirecTV on Bandwidth Crunch Looms for Cable Companies · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe they just need to increase the bandwidth by speeding up the removal of analog. That analog signal is a pig.

    The Universe Song

    Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown,
    and things seem hard or tough.
    and people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
    and you feel that you've had quite enough...

    Just remember that your standing on a planet that's evolving,
    and revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.
    That's orbiting at ninety miles a second, so it's reckoned,
    the sun that is the source of all our power.
    The sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
    are moving at a million miles a day.
    in an outer spiral-arm at forty thousand miles an hour
    of the galaxy we call the Milky Way.

    Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars,
    it's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
    It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
    but out by us it's just three thousand light years wide.
    We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point,
    we go 'round every two hundred million years.
    And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions,
    in this amazing and expanding universe.

    The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
    in all of the directions it can whiz.
    As fast as it can go, that's the speed of light you know;
    twelve million miles a minute, that's the fastest speed there is.
    So remember when your feeling very small and insecure,
    how amazingly unlikely is your birth,
    and pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
    'cause there's bugger-all down here on earth!

    Sorry, it's late. 8.9 trillion

  17. Re:When will /. turn on Dianne Feinstein? on FBI, IRS Raid Home of Sen. Ted Stevens · · Score: 1

    But do you really think the current debt of 8.9 billion dollars , largely Bush's responsibility, are an improvement?

    Didn't think so. Apples to apples, my friend.

  18. Re:Is this even ethical? on MIT Engineers World's First Schizophrenic Mice · · Score: 1

    While all of this is true, remember that the animals are typically sacrificed at the first sign of suffering. The initial tumours are grown and treatment is attempted (or if they are observing the effects of a gene, the tumour is measured), then the animal is sacrificed if there is noticeable discomfort.

  19. Re:When will /. turn on Dianne Feinstein? on FBI, IRS Raid Home of Sen. Ted Stevens · · Score: 1

    Can I ask why that's always the response?
    Has Clinton been in office for the last 7 years? Didn't think so.

    You throw shit at the person in office, not at the people out. The ones in office are relevant.
    How much sense would it make for me to start bitching about Reagan, Nixon and Carter?

    It's nice to see a canadian show getting its due.

    It was far more entertaining by the third season when Enzo grew up and got really pissed off... it was a nice dark twist.

    Democracy dies when no one is looking.

    I'm calling bullshit. Democracy dies when nobody is acting.
    This diatribe that gets spewed from both ends is all it is... talk. Republicans and Democrats spew the same shit from different mouths. Why?

    They don't fear you.
    They don't respect you.
    They don't care.


    The power you have lies in your ballots and in your numbers... but the apathy is deafening.
    What will it take?

    Don't tell me a draft, because that will just put the Democrats in power.
    Don't tell me extreme disaster and poverty, because New Orleans sure as hell didn't change a goddamned thing.
    What the hell will knock some sense into your fucking population?
    Get back your democracy for crying out loud!

  25. Ob. follow up on Mitochondria and the Prevention of Death · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I felt a great disturbance in the ATP production, as if millions of mitochondria suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
