  1. Dehumanizing? on Shop Till It Drops · · Score: 2

    Dehumanizing is a good thing, here is the human experience: "Can I use your bathroom." noisclose "Sorry, I didn't hear you" no-is-close "I still can't understand what you are saying." IT'S LOCKED!!!!!!!! "Ahh. Okay, I get it now! Yeesh."

  2. Let me get this straight on Scientists Discover What Makes Geckos Stick · · Score: 2

    1) Geckos can support up to 250lbs with these little hairs
    2) Geckos stick even after death

    Why do we need nanotechnology, why not just make "Gecko Gloves" and stick to things ala-spiderman?

    Hello my name Alice!

    You seem a little obsessed with snack-ums carla.

    I AM OBSESSED WITH SNACK-UMS!

  4. Re:Chldren != people on Tracking Your Employees, Children · · Score: 2

    Ah, yes, the 'unalienable rights.' Each year someone quotes that magnificent poetry. Life? What 'right' to life has a man who is drowning in the Pacific? The ocean will not hearken to his cries. What 'right' to life has a man who must die if he is to save his children? If he chooses to save his own life, does he do so as a matter of 'right'? If two men are starving and cannibalism is the only alternative to death, which man's right is 'unalienable'? And is it 'right'? As to liberty, the heroes who signed that great document pledged themselves to buy liberty with their lives. Liberty is always unalienable; it must be redeemed regularly with the blood of patriots or it is always vanquished. Of all the so-called 'natural human rights' that have ever been invented, liberty is least likely to be cheap and is never free of cost.

    None, but there are plenty guys with E.E degrees looking for some cash on the side. Check out the story on cellular phone theives in europe.

    Not who, maybe where. But I suspect like most electronic devices it has a battery that can be taken out, or have the GPS disabled,so you can pawn off essentially a junk watch giving people the illusion that its tracking thier kids.

    1) That's pretty expensive, considering children loose EVERYTHING. 2) I could see children being mugged because someone wants to steal these watches.

    Once artifical parts give you superhuman power, then you might start to see corruption of the "soul". Hollowman is a good movie about this subject. =)

    Not to mention it would take 162 days just to print out every ticket at 1 ticket a second.

  17. Re:Automatic tickets coming up soon on California Tracks Everyone Using Toll Transponders · · Score: 2

    Let's hope so. The quickest way to get an unfair law repealed is to aggressively enforce it. With speed limits, this will no doubt be the case.

  18. Re:Automatic tickets coming up soon on California Tracks Everyone Using Toll Transponders · · Score: 2

    Many cities rely on tickets as a source of revenue. When you ALWAYS get caught speeding, eventually nobody will speed.

    I don't think the goal is to stop speeding which is mostly harmless (after all the highways in america were engineered to be safe at 100MPH with 1960's suspension) but rather to be more of a tax on people in a hurry.

  20. Re:Reality Television takes on Corporate America on Shake-up At SonicBlue · · Score: 2

    Because Reality TV is anything but real.

    It's the reality of people who are knowingly being followed by a camera.

    Now a hidden camera show of a corporate boardroom would be an entirely different story, too bad it would be illegal to tape and even more illegal to air.

  22. Re:ted Williams on Techies On Ice: The Coming Age of Cryonics · · Score: 2

    The "moral community" is opposed to cloning because every day we come closer and closer to being able to do what people thought only god could (or should) do. It raises philosophical questions that religion isn't prepaired to answer. Imagine we can build and grow a baby from scratch. How do the iniquities of the father pass on to a baby without parents? Does the child need to be baptised for adams transgressions? Is it one of god's creations or one of mans? Does it even have a soul? Do we?

  23. Re:ted Williams on Techies On Ice: The Coming Age of Cryonics · · Score: 2

    If you force an otherwise singular embryo to split, is that considered cloning?
