  1. Re:But ... on The World's First 3D-Printed Gun · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The NRA is 4.3 million Americans who care enough about their rights to put their hard-earned money to work (via dues) protecting those rights.

    Whenever you read "NRA", substitute "4.3 million American citizens" to give the statement a little context.

    Congress are "slaves to 4.3 million American citizens". That sounds pretty great to me!

  2. Re:How small are we talking about? on Why the LHC Won't Destroy the World · · Score: 1

    Arguably the interesting thing about one would be, basically, "up to what distance can it gobble things up." In other words, the the Schwarzschild radius.

    From the paper (p. 15):
    "The capture radius r_c is frequently different from the Schwarzschild radius R, and depends
    on the size and state of motion of the black hole, as we"ll as on properties of the surrounding
    medium."
  3. I think should have been expected on Stem Cell Research Moves Forward In The US · · Score: 1

    Bush was clearly against stem cell research when his campaign began. If was going to outright ban all funding, he would have done so with no hesitation. The fact that he was going consider it, (should have) lead everyone to expect a compromise.

    The issue that is being largely overlooked, however, is that he has opened up a serious loophole through which million dollar attorneys can squeeze further funding from the US government.
