  1. Re:Grant whores and PR scientists on Dysfunction In Modern Science? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Your fried is right, "science" wont allow that to happen, but people will. And when it happens, its not science.

    Its not that they'll be gone, but that they will result in our cyborg overlords when we swap out the defective parts.

  3. Re:via Facebook only? on Congress Wants Your TSA Stories · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Since you must have an email account to use facebook and you do not need facebook to have an email account, I would say you are wrong and that email would reach more people.

  4. Verizon will not activate a phone stollen phone. on US Mobile Carriers Won't Brick Stolen Phones · · Score: 2

    I cant speak for the other carriers, but Verizon will not activate a phone that has been reported as stollen. Sure, its not "bricked", but its near useless.

  7. Re:This is what government education is on Tennessee Passes Bill That Allows "Teaching the Controversy" of Evolution · · Score: 2

    So your claim is that without government funded education, only logic and reason would be taught? You must have never been to any private schools.

  8. Re:Simple solution... on Tennessee Passes Bill That Allows "Teaching the Controversy" of Evolution · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The non-falsifiable argument gets tossed around a lot and has never been explained to my satisfaction.
    1. Average temperatures are rising
    2. The rise in temperatures is due to so called 'greenhouse gasses'.
    3. The increase in greenhouse gasses is caused by human action.
    All of the above seems falsifiable to me. As are the corollary items such as number 1 causing changes in weather, melting of ice caps etc.

    We won the civil war and are now stuck with them, they are as American as anyone.

  10. Science should be taught in science class. on Tennessee Passes Bill That Allows "Teaching the Controversy" of Evolution · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Just as math should be taught in math class and so on. If you want to teach religion in a class dedicated to the subject, I'm OK with that. But it would need to cover ALL religions and beliefs, which I think people would throw the hissy fit to end all hissy fits over.

  15. free != ads on Free Apps Eat Your Smartphone Battery · · Score: 5, Informative

    There are free apps without ads and there are paid for apps with ads. Title should be that ads eat up battery life, which is kind of a no brainer.

    OK. Where do you apply the tax? In the state the buyer lives, the state the file is hosted from, the state the vendor operates out of or all the states that the data passes through? What if the file is not even hosted in the US?

    Fingerprinting has never been subject to a peer reviewed study for accuracy. It is just accepted that they are close enough to unique to work. In general, "forensic science" isn't science.
