  1. Terraforming Venus on NASA's Basement Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 0

    This could be used for terraforming Venus. If someone can work out the decay chain, we can transform the extra abundant elements into Hydrogen, Nitrogen and O2. But what Venus really needs is a large moon.

  3. Elmer on Best OSS CFD Package For High School Physics? · · Score: 1

  6. Re:As a Chrysler owner I don't understand on Toyota Pedal Issue Highlights Move To Electronics · · Score: 1

    Should have two modes of shutting off. 1) Hold down for 3 (or whatever) seconds. 2) Panic mode - If button is pushed down 3 or more times a second (quick succession), shut down dammit! That's how panic people act. Better still, fuck Start Buttons. What's wrong with turning keys?

  9. Re:News for nerds? on Nothing To Fear But Fearlessness Itself? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It arguably *is* a good idea. If you can hire 3 engineers in India for the price of one in the USA, then yes, it harms that one in the USA, but it helps *three* in India. I'm operating from the assumption that an Indian is just as valuable as an American, so there's a net gain of two people finding good jobs. If your premise is that Americans are more important than everyone else in the world, then you might reach a different conclusion."

    it is also a good idea to hire Indian or Chinese CEO's and managers. You can hire hire 3 of them for the price of one in the USA. Why outsource only non-CEO's and managers?

  10. The Goatse Way on Facebook Nudity Policy Draws Nursing Moms' Ire · · Score: 1

    Facebook should follow the goatse trailblazing legal approach. Put a warning on top of the photo "The goatse.cx lawyer has informed us that we need a warning! So.. if you are under the age of 18 or find this photograph offensive, please don't look at it. Thank you!"

  11. Re:Why would anyone ban nerf guns? on Roleplayers Seek Removal of Nerf Gun Ban · · Score: 1

    Tada!! There's no point in just destroying a place completely. You need to occupy to derive any benefit (wealth, oil, slaves etc) from it. You cannot kill everyone, so it is possible for you to subjugate them to work for you. Thus, if you cannot kill everyone, they can possibly kill you. That's why the govt having superior firepower is pointless against its own armed citizenry. Also works for a conquering country against an armed populace. Do you think the aristocratic class would just want an empty country filled only with their soldiers?

  12. Cross Platform Fonts on An Early Look at OpenOffice.org 3.0 · · Score: 1

    I hope those wonderful guys do something about cross platform fonts, so that the docs I edited on Windows opens with the same fonts on Linux and not mess up the formatting. Cross platform portability is OOo's big selling point, no?
