  1. Proof you can patent anything on Patent Cases Hurting Small Businesses · · Score: 1

    This is an important patent. We really need this one:

    Method of swinging on a swing

    Abstract
    A method of swing on a swing is disclosed, in which a user positioned on a standard swing suspended by two chains from a substantially horizontal tree branch induces side to side motion by pulling alternately on one chain and then the other.

    Full Patent here

  2. Excellent book detailing Apoptosis and Cell Death on Cell Death Nets 2002 Nobel Prize in Medicine · · Score: 1

    Is "Sex and the Origins of Death." by William Clark. Well written, easy to read. He introduces cell death and describes necrosis as well as apoptosis. Discusses some of the ideas behind what apoptosis means (propagation of the species versus propagation of the individual) for organisms. Towards the end, goes into some possible applications for longer-life, etc. Good Book.

  3. The big Red Light Camera Problem on Law Enforcement by Machines · · Score: 1

    is the fact that they are serviced and operated by independant contractors. What's more, the gov pays them per ticket, so they actually have incentive to issue more tickets. The whole is very not kosher.

    I had a friend in law school who got a red light ticket, and was going to argue it in court (as a sort of indpendent research project). He heard, however, that most judges came down hard on people who tried to play Matlock.

    What the Hell is this Russia?!?!?

  4. Re:Life on Life on Pluto? · · Score: 1

    First of all, nowhere in scripture does it claim that the Earth was the only planet to contain life. Second of all, many exegetical interpretations of the Creation harmoize with the Theory of Evolution quite well. Please, everyone, learn more about the Bible before you present yourself as either its advocate or prosecuter. There is nothing worse than ignorance.

  5. What the hell is this, Russia?!?! on Directors Counter-Sue Movie Bowdlerizing Company · · Score: 1

    I cant believe this would even be a question. Of course, CleanFlicks and the like are going to be out of business, thanks to the millions in legal bills they will rack up from the trial, etc.

  6. Bring back the Oregon Trail! on LOGO Still Lives -- New Java-Based Version Released · · Score: 1

    Logo was cool, but nothing beat getting out of class to spend 3 hours playing The Oregon Trail! Little Joey has diptheria! I'm out of wagon axles! The river's been flooded! What do we do?!?!? Nothing taught descision and strategy better than letting 8 year olds hunt bear in the praraie lands.
