  1. But he could be tried as an adult........ on Apple Cuts Off Under-18 Darwin Developer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You are under 18, you can
    Get married - May need parental consent in some places
    Be a father/mother -Greatest responsibility ever... (pay child support for 18+ years...even if you are married)
    Decide to end your child/fetus' life (don't get started on the pro/anti abortion thing ok)
    Wield the greatest weapon ever created (cars have killed more ppl than guns and bombs ever did)
    Serve life in prison for crimes
    Pay taxes
    Work at a burger shop (does this mean you may get fired because they cannot enforce the confidentiality agreement that keeps thousands of minors from giving up the ingredients to "secret sauce"

    List goes on.

    But you can't contribute in a meaningful way to anything meaningful that has to do with lawyers.

    By the way, the next shrink wrap EULA is getting opened by my 9 year old son......

  2. But would it be edible? on Lab-Grown Meat Chunks - It's What's For Dinner · · Score: 1

    I left some hamburger in the fridge for a couple of months in a "nutrient rich" environment (hamburger helper) and it grew to almost twice it's original size. I was not about to eat it tho. Hamburger helper is not supposed to be green and fuzzy......

    From EPA

    Temperature
    Global temperatures are rising. Observations collected over the last century suggest that the average land surface temperature has risen 0.45-0.6C (0.8-1.0F) in the last century.

    Last century, hhhmmm. Seems to me that in the greater scope of things, just looking at a 100 year snapshot (more like a millisecond) it is a little hard to see a "trend". USA today said the temps are higher than they have been for 600yrs, but if you go back 700 or 800, it was actually hotter........

    Everytime one of those volcanoes blasts "massive amounts of pollution into the atmosphere" I get really steamed, what right does the Earth have to pollute itself like that!

  5. It's because of all that salt in the Ocean on Larsen Ice Shelf Collapses · · Score: 2, Funny

    The real problem is all the salt in the ocean, it is eventually gonna melt all the ice. We need to get rid of it NOW. It is probably caused by the road commision spreading so much in the winter --to melt the ice on the road, which then drains off into the creeks and streams, then to the rivers and then the ocean, making it salty! Stop using salt to melt road ice, and things in the ocean will stop melting.
