  1. The point? on Postcards From The Edge (Of Science) · · Score: 0

    Wait..so its a site dedicated to finding out what the most intellegent people of out species are thinking and questioning, and the biggest feature on the site right now is what they did on vacation?

  2. Re:Yeah, this is SO worthwhile on Forty-Speed CD-RW Shootout · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hey, I'm in a bunch of cheap @ home garage bands. This is how garagebands make CD's. You go to a recording studio for a day ($500 at least) and make a single CD with multiple tracks. You take this "master" CD home and buy 1000 CDR's. You then submit yourselves to the insanely monotonous task of sitting at a computer for 5 hours a day...CD in...*whrrrr*...CD out...repeat. I personally would like to save an extra 8 hours of doing this. SO in the long run, it can help home buisnesses. The only way it might not be as useful is, as stated, for a person to make a few CD's for personal use.

  3. Re:(-1, Moron) on Harvesting Gold Nanoparticles WIth Alfalfa Plants · · Score: 0

    Most plants can harvest gold form soil if the soil has lots of gold allready in it. It is'nt that amazing that alfalfa can.

  4. Natural environment on Harvesting Gold Nanoparticles WIth Alfalfa Plants · · Score: -1, Troll

    The artical stated that the alfalfa was grown on artificial, gold-rich "soil". That seems a bit too controlled and they had to have soil with gold allready in it.

  5. Re:Why? on How To Clone A Mammoth · · Score: 0

    Of course it wil help us out. Bringing back extint animals is a great idea, it works in t emovies. Remember Jurassic Park, when they brought back all the dinosaurs and they...oh..wait...

  6. Thoust need more... on Starting a Software Business in Today's Economy? · · Score: 0

    experience. If thats the only realy problem getting a job with companies, spend the next few years inflating the portfolio. By then, things might be better with the exonomy, and hey, then you'll have all this great experience and companies will want you. Until then, just look for more mediocre jobs.

  7. Start small on Starting a Software Business in Today's Economy? · · Score: 0

    Just start marketing what you do. Basic buisness. Make a web page, make pamplets, glorify your work. Then distribute it around.

  8. Re:(cue jaded geek naysayers) on New DOOM III Shots · · Score: 0

    Here are some mp2's: http://depot.wrong.button.com/musicdoom.html and here is believe it or not, the CD: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000I6WY/ 102-7975343-4541735

  9. Re:tiredness on Gyroscopic Mouse · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It would make more sense if the mouse could strap to your hand. It seems like that would make using it easier.

  10. Re:must...avoid...reality tv... on The Sims Survivor · · Score: 0

    Yes, futurama does rule. But I've been trying to avoid these crappy games. Now I have nothing against sims. Remember the good old days of Sim City (the origional) even 2000 wasn't bad. But it appears that Sims is going to create a game for every human experience. Eventually, people wont even need to leave their computer (not that most of us do) or live thair lives, but seriously, whats next!? "The Sims Pay their Bills" "The Sims: Going to the Doctor Edition" "The Sims: Mad Crazy Serial Killing Rampage" WHERE WILL IT ALL STOP!

  11. Small buisnesses on The Continuing Death of Pinball · · Score: 0

    Forget looking for big arcades to find good pinball machines. Most small buisnesses like ice cream stores and pizza places have five or six of the realy good pinball machines. The ones that were'nt captured by large markets.

  12. Re:Why isn't it on cars? on Black Blobs Appearing In Camden, NJ · · Score: 0

    Its kind of strange that they are only seen on the ground. You'd think if there were that many of these blobs, someone would have seen one appear or fall or beam in or whatever, and at least there would be some basis of where they were coming from.

  13. Re:Earths gravity... on Asteroid Fly-By on August 18 · · Score: 0

    Hey thanks for the tips.

  14. Dynamics... on Earth's Gravitational Field Is Getting Flatter · · Score: 0

    This is just a case of the general dynamics of the earth's e-field. Its not a set entity with a perfectly de3fined value. The field is very dynamic and ever changing.

  15. Earths gravity... on Asteroid Fly-By on August 18 · · Score: 0

    ...might effect the trajectory of the asteroid. It doesnt sound like they put any thought into that. I also have two unrealated questions. 1. How do I make URL links words of my /. stories 2. How can I get my Karma up? (that sounds bad but its not)

  16. Re:The Scout Law on The Boy and his Breeder Reactor · · Score: 0

    Dont forget the oath: "On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty, to god and my country..." by blowing up a small portion of it with my homemade breeder reactor.

  17. Re:And on behalf of everyone... on Peer-to-Peer Cell Phones? · · Score: 0

    Did anyone question that most of these phonse will be moving...as in mobile...as in thisr definition. How do you compensate for the change in th eposition of the relay phone...stationionary antennas are not moving...STATIONARY!!!

  18. What about.... on Calculators vs. PDAs in the Classroom · · Score: 0

    True some people do over use calculators, but some aspects of modern mathematics are much more efficient when completed with a calculator. Secondly, you still need to know what most of these complex functions are and what they do before you can punch some numbers into the calculator

  19. Re:Appalled? on How Yoda Became an Action Star · · Score: 0

    Ditto to that. In every movie...there is some comment like "From what Yoda said I have expected more." As if Yoda is the supreme apitomy of the force...WHICH HE IS. I found the "superball" like proformance of Yoda to be amazing. "priceless" is quite the fitting term.

  20. Re:Moore or less... on Is the Universe its own Largest Computer? · · Score: 0

    Whatt if that laptop is running windows? What if one day the universe pops up the blue screen of death? Big questions

  21. Cool idea...bad presentation on Kartoo Search Engine Presents Results as a Map · · Score: 0

    I liked the cool flash graphics and such, but I found it to be very unreliable. It kept telling me that it could not perform some searches. I think it is a good concept. Future looks good.

  22. Re:Pinhole Viewers on Partial Solar Eclipse Coming to N.America · · Score: 0

    If you look through the window of a car, it blocks most radiation and UV rays. You can even look at an atomic bomb test through them, if you don't melt first. I think it was Richard Feynmann who allways did this during the early A-Bomb tests

  23. Wait just a minute here! on Featherless Chickens · · Score: 0

    Loosing an important part of thsir body. Even with feathers the chickens would be killed for us to eat. Its not like they are altering chickens and then sending them back into the wild.

  24. AND on Comic Book Physics · · Score: 0

    some will refute that it is impossible to fall until the subject raises a picket with the word "YIKES" painted on it. This tends to catylize the gravitons into a collective downward movement.

  25. WHAT ABOUT... on The Most Beautiful Experiments in Physics · · Score: 0

    Basically everything. Physics is general is a, well... generally beautiful field. Projectile motion, magnetic fields, waves, harmonics. All can create amazing things.
