    Rhymes with mucus.

  2. Re:Dear Pirate Party: on Pirate Party Wins Seat In Berlin · · Score: 0

    Stop screwing creators.

    What you are just realizing that what you do has practically no value to society?

  3. Re:politics a vital part of the mission? on Israel To Join CERN As First Non-European Member · · Score: 1

    Then again medicine is a separate faculty too, however I consider myself to be a scientist.

  4. Re:bypass grafts on Artificial Blood Vessels Created On a 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    I have arterial grafts. But then again my surgeon wasn't famous.

  5. Re:Artificial Blood Vessels Created On a 3D Printe on Artificial Blood Vessels Created On a 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    Speaking as a person who is already carrying a good $50k worth of implants, my human side rejects this notion while my cyborg side says "bring it".

    No, politics is humanities and only THINKS it's a science. In fact, your statement sums up politics and its self-claimed license to pervert language because of its descent from the school of sophistry pretty well. Politics may claim to belong to science, but science rejects false claims. Therefore go stand in the corner on your own.

  7. Re:politics a vital part of the mission? on Israel To Join CERN As First Non-European Member · · Score: 1

    Engineering is not science?

  8. Re:wait a minute on Israel To Join CERN As First Non-European Member · · Score: 1

    Eh? Most of the Jews in Israel come from Poland/Germany, about 70 years ago. They didn't kill them all you know.

    Historically it was called "Asia Minor"

    Instead, most of what I see is volgarity

    So there are Russians on slashdot. Big deal - get over it. Also: learn to spell, troll.

  11. Re:Key Differntiator on Xbox TV Launch Planned Before End of Year · · Score: 1

    If they can't get big media hooked

    How relevant is "big media"? You enjoy watching re-runs of the same old shows, over and over? How many times can you watch Friends, or House?

    Are you kidding, at one device per kindergarten they are ALL for the teachers.

    If you were smart you could work it out if I gave you a table.

  14. Re:WOW on Maine School District Gives iPad To Every Kindergartner · · Score: 1

    And note, one iPad per kindergarten. How many kids can you crowd around a single iPad again? I hope they have small groups.

  15. Recession? on Maine School District Gives iPad To Every Kindergartner · · Score: 1

    What recession? Those Chinese workers at the Foxconn factory must be happy. Now they can use their wages to buy, er, more Chinese products. And Apple can invest its tremendous profits in - emerging markets. Wait, what?

  16. Re:80 year old pilot on James Gosling Report of Reno Air Crash · · Score: 1

    What you think it's all drama and tension like on "ER" or House? We do our job, we do the best we can, but sometimes people are just going to die. If I lost sleep over it I wouldn't be able to do my job. No, what makes me lose sleep is one day not doing my job properly - because then it becomes my fault.

  17. Re:Oh, I know the answer on Inspector General Investigated For Muzzling Inconvenient Science · · Score: 1

    A sane person would say "If 2 out of 5 people are ill". Anyway I read the transcript now, my comment is irrelevant.

  18. Re:But on Inspector General Investigated For Muzzling Inconvenient Science · · Score: 0

    Reality is always subjective, that's why politics and religion work. Al Gore just happened to transcend one into the other.

    Seven = 7, of = times, what number = x, is 11% is =11%, therefore 7 X x = 11%; 7 X x = 11/100; 700 X x = 11; x = 11/700; x = 0.0157

    You're right, the question is worded in a very vague manner (intentional, no doubt).,

    Look up jury nullification. Except people on juries are too stupid to realize the power they have.

  21. America on Court Reinstates $675k File Sharing Verdict · · Score: 3

    The Obama administration argued in support of the original award,

    The executive branch, which receives funds from corporations in the form of campaign contributions, should keep its nose out of the judicial branch, which is tasked with enforcing the letter of the law without the influence of corporations (or any other third party).

    Yeah there's a missing trim tab, but the elevator is level - there's no pressure at all on the stick. I guess we'll have to wait for the NTSB.

    I guess people making up these heroic/romantic stories are more tolerable than the 9/11 controlled demolition crowd...

    Still doesn't rule out a medical emergency. I'm a doc and people die at our hospital all the time... it's called "shit happens". Tests detect a lot, but they can't detect everything.
