  1. Re:Incredible but.... on A New Species Of Giant Ape? · · Score: 1

    So they don't want to destroy things, they only want to feed their family.

    They don't know of a better way to do it.

    Why would they? Are they drones?

    The systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group.


    You're merely speaking of saving a pile of apples.

    Virus.

    Interesting. :)

    Why do buses and trains hiss?

  6. Re:Environmental effects on Cooling Toronto Using Lake Ontario · · Score: 1

    Heat doesn't stick around as long as most pollution.

    Guns can kill by being dropped.

  8. Re:Why Fuel Cells? on Getting Serious About Fuel Cells · · Score: 1

    Bamboo and hemp are excellent building materials. They can also be eaten and used for many other purposes.

    "Easy" fossil fuels overlooked the pollution they cause.

    PS: In my last archived journal discussion sentence, substitute "food" for "oil". Oil stored underground doesn't affect us as much while it decays.

  9. Re:Bullets that MAME on States Threaten P2P Companies · · Score: 1

    It made me think of this video.

  10. Re:This makes as much sense... on States Threaten P2P Companies · · Score: 1

    It does nothing positive, but they still do it.

    It does make people use those bullets more carefully. To quote Chris Rock:

    "Everybody talkin' about gun control. 'We gotta get rid of the guns.' We don't need gun control. You know what we need? We need bullet control. I think all bullets should cost $5,000. If a bullet cost $5,000, there would be no innocent bystanders."

    It's still unprofessional to have your site go down.

  12. Re:We/they may be better off alone for now on Are We Alone in the Universe? · · Score: 1

    Microbes are tough. There are Earth-like planets out there. Why shouldn't there be life?

    For all we know space aliens are using stealth technology to do painful experiments on our wildlife... Maybe they just beam their mind-control rays into our heads using an as-of-yet unknown-to-the-media frequency or particles-of-the-week(TM)

  13. Re:Why linux isn't ready..... on Exploring Linux Desktop Myths · · Score: 1

    I read that on a Mac, all you have to do to install a program, is to drag the folder to your programs folder. To uninstall, just drag the folder to the trashcan.

  14. Re:A particularly distressing example... on I, Robot Hits the Theaters · · Score: 1

    Couldn't they wish they weren't so bored? Like limited brains that are surprised at finding old memories.

    As for reality, one could define that with rules and unforgable certificates.

  15. Re:Isn't this what Asimov was writing about? on I, Robot Hits the Theaters · · Score: 1

    HAL was brainwashed into thinking that the mission was more important than human life.

  16. Nevermind on I, Robot Hits the Theaters · · Score: 1

    Prime Intellect knew just where to put him so he could let his associates know what they had.

    I haven't read a book in a while, and movies tend to unfold in real time.

  17. Nit on I, Robot Hits the Theaters · · Score: 1

    *** POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING ***

    How could PI successfully teleport that guy before scanning the compound? It would be a violation of the First Law, too. He could've ended up inside a wall, for example.

  18. Re:Yeah... and? on Oxford Students Hack University Network · · Score: 1

    Exactly. He should've disposed of a self-imposed dictator while he was at it.

    BitWise and Shinkuro. They're secure and private, too.

    Well, then we could burn the kudzu and eat the goats. Or eat the kudzu and burn the goat gas.

  23. Re:Great Idea, but.. on Green Energy From Manhattan's East River · · Score: 1

    No. But who's saying precipiwhatsit is a more important cause of bad climate change than clearcutting forests, which has been proven to cause mudslides and erosion?

  24. Re:Creationism isn't Science, but is an explanatio on Antarctic Lake Actually Two in One · · Score: 1

    Theory = Abstract reasoning; speculation.

    If a theory has been sufficiently proven, then it becomes law. Like Newton's Law of Gravity.

    Furthermore, ad hominem isn't nice and in this case irrelevant.

    Then just have them precipitate onto fields.

    And plant some trees, they stop deserts.
