  1. Re:Chicken Little on Nuclear Reactors As Art · · Score: 4, Informative

    There are a lot of ways to make your point on the internet, and one of them is to not talk about shit you don't know. It's Ad hominem. And yes,seriously, that's a wiki link. If you would deign to look at it you might learn something, like the fact that dakameleon didn't commit an ad hominem. Saying India won't develop nuclear weapons when they already have makes you look like an idiot, and I thought dakameleon let you off lightly.

  2. Re:Space - application with today's Superconductor on New Type of Superconductivity Spotted · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A hell of a lot can be done with todays superconductors without the added expense of launching them into space. The point of room temperature superconductors is to get them cheap and ubiquitous.

    Good advice. Our medic was sniped in the glow of his iPod.

    You do realize that a new soldier is the prime target for credit card companies, right? After all, they can't quit.

    If you took the operator off, and installed a remote control, it could go even higher. This could be a very useful firefighting tool.

    I make it a habit to break every statue I find past level 5.

    If you can figure out how to grow coca anywhere but the Andes, you could be very wealthy.

    The Northwest passage is no longer the challenge it was, and many amateurs have done it recently.

    Note that newer releases of DF have had much calmer elephants, and you are now much less likely to inadvertently send the local herd into a rampage. Protip:Cage traps catch everything.

  15. Re:Worse in northern hemisphere on Lack of Sunlight Could Lead To Early Death · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is far from a non story. There is a growing body of good research that indicates vitamin D to be one of the most important contributors to health. As a light sensitive chemical, it shows up early in our evolutionary history, and as such, has been incorporated into all kinds of biochemical pathways.

    As the summary says, the body can produce 10,000 IUs a day, far more than a multivitamin will provide.

    Fortunately, the cost keeps dropping fast. A complete sequence is under $100,000. Last year it was a million. So that debate is largely over now.

    I haven't been to Nanaimo for almost 20 years...It's kind of hard to believe that it's now 'one of the nicest places on Vancouver Island", if you know what I mean :-) The surrounding area is stunning, of course. I was thinking of getting to the island this summer, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

  23. Re:No word in the article... on Ancient Bones of Small Humans Discovered In Palau · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You are right that the conditions that these bones were found in (hot, damp cave by the sea) are probably among the worst you could store DNA in, given a big enough sample, modern (and expensive) techniques might be able to pull something out. At least small amounts of DNA have been sequenced from material that was considered useless a few years ago.

    What? After the H. Florensis controversy? Gee, it's only the biggest fight in anthropology since the Piltdown Man. How is finding another population of diminutive archaics dated to modern times not huge news? Are you maybe not aware of the ramifications of a 3 foot high, tool making sapian who appeared to swing from branches? (not to be read as a statement of fact, the jury is still out)

    I mean, I can understand you might not be too interested, but most people with an interest in physical anthropology will be.

    Whatever, Godboy. Get your invisible sky faerie to comfort you. It's not "pro-evolution" vs. "pro-creation", it's rational vs. nutbar, and I'm tired of being nice while you drag the world we built down to the dark ages.
