  1. Bah on Scientists Invent Urine-Powered Robots · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows urine rusts robots.

  2. Reading between the lines on RAF Pilots Blinded At 1000 Mph By Helmet Technical Glitch · · Score: 1

    in 2011 BEA was hired to development an alternate helmet. Basically the contractor developing the original helmet was falling behind so BEA was hired to create one to scare them straight. Pretty common tactic which seems to have worked as the primary helmet seems to be up to snuff now. BEA knew this would be the likely outcome which would explain things perhaps not being up to snuff.

  3. Re:OChem isn't learned by logic or intuition on Why Organic Chemistry Is So Difficult For Pre-Med Students · · Score: 3, Insightful

    More like if you want to do memorization without killing someone if you are wrong, become a lawyer. I've yet to meet a lawyer who has impressed me with their ability to think.

  4. Re:Please on How Safe Is Cycling? · · Score: 1

    That's rather silly as anyone who conciously leaves space for someone without a helmet likely isn't going to hit the rider anyway.

  5. Really? on New York City Considers Articulated Subway Cars · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    News for nerds here? Or just another case for Slashdot to compare the US to those more forward thinking awesome European cities? In all seriousness, what is the news here? That when new trains are needed a newer type may be considered? Wow.

  6. But of course on Fusion "Breakthrough" At National Ignition Facility? Not So Fast · · Score: 1

    We can't blame the network that brings us Dr Who for shoddy reporting, so lets blame the Americans and their shutdown.

  7. Re:Here's the real story on Fusion Reactor Breaks Even · · Score: 3, Funny

    Your research and discoveries mean nothing of the commies take it from you.

  8. 8th sign of the apocolypse on Bennett Haselton's Response To That "Don't Talk to Cops" Video · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wishing for the days of Jon Katz submissions.

  9. Yawn on Samsung Fudging Benchmarks Again On Galaxy Note 3 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And 95% of consumers could care less as long as the screen looks nice and the battery lasts more than 2 hours.

  10. Re:Some people... on GTA V Proves a Lot of Parents Still Don't Know or Care About ESRB Ratings · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    One could argue getting shot in the face is good for your sinuses too.

    Enough of the puritanism. It's gotten old. This has nothing to do with sex being good or bad, most care less between consensual adults, but about how we believe women should be portrayed and treated in general. Unlike blowing people up with a sticky bomb, which most people will never have a chance to actually do, women are interacted with daily. Which is why it's more scrutinized in the media we subject our children to. Heck, in this it's not even a case of women willing to objectify themselves for some money which is fine with me. It's a bunch of CG programmers deciding to do it. Just saying the violence seems ok so objectifying women should be is kind of BS.

  12. Re:Some people... on GTA V Proves a Lot of Parents Still Don't Know or Care About ESRB Ratings · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's because exposure to shrapnel is pretty unlikely. Exposure to women will happen. Women are not fantasy and we interact with them every day and it would be nice if they weren't treated like objects of desire 24/7 rather than the between 9pm-3am that it is supposed to be.

  13. Because some people have the crazy notion that character and morals are the sum of the person and that while their little precious may not turn into a crazy killer the fact that they get enjoyment out of torturing/maiming, and killing things even on the computer is a disappointment.

  14. Wow on Utility Sets IT Department On Path To Self-destruction · · Score: 1

    I can understand people being upset over the whole outsourcing thing. However, that aside, if they are actually employing a bunch of people who are willing to do something malicious over threat of losing their job then they should get rid of them anyway. and anyone caught doing or planning had better be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as they are just as if not more dangerous than the outsourcing.

  15. P-in-P? on Xbox One's HDMI Pass-Through Can Connect PS4, PCs and More · · Score: 1

    Without doing much actual investigating is snap actually picture in picture? That would actually be great as I'd finally be able to dump Directv and just stream the Yankees next year without having to change inputs to see what's going on.

  16. In other words on 'Half' of 2012's Extreme Weather Impacted By Climate Change · · Score: 1

    We have no idea, but picking the number int he middle hedges our bets the most.

  17. Re:What is the real demand? on Xbox One Set To Launch On November 22 · · Score: 1

    The millions of people with kids who were too young to care about the 360/ps4 and have held out a little bit for new consoles to come out? There will be plenty of demand for both.

  18. No on Can Closed Public Schools Become Makerspaces? (Video) · · Score: 1

    But they do make good crack houses and meth labs.

  19. The real reason on Why the Japanese Government Should Take Over the Fukushima Nuclear Plant · · Score: 1

    TEPCO will go out of business and can't afford the cleanup. New age capitalism requires you to privatize your profits and socialize the losses.

  20. If you don't own a printing press you can't afford it. The only ones who can take on the risk are large governments. Think Apple and their $50B in cash in impressive? The Fed is buying almost that in toxic assets every month. The costs are so high that you need to have Trillions working behind the scenes to even consider the risk.

  21. Typical sliding scale. on Snowden Spoofed Top Officials' Identity To Mine NSA Secrets · · Score: 1

    When you afraid to be seen as incompetent you slide the scale to make yourself look better.

  22. Re:level 1 to level 3 on Fukushima Actually "Much Worse" Than So Far Disclosed, Say Experts · · Score: 1

    At level one basically all you can do is cast magic missile once a day and have 4 hp if you are lucky. But you gain some with each level.
