  1. Re:Don't Patent on Patents for the Little People? · · Score: 1

    Note the anonymous coward. No one with that opinion has the guts to say who they are - that way they don't have to defend their opinion.

  2. Re:possible drawbacks on Genetically Engineering Sheep for Larger, Stronger Hindquarters · · Score: 1, Informative

    Muscle cells are usually not destroyed during exertion - they are damaged, and rebuilt, larger than before. They can be destroyed under too heavy of stress, but they are not replaced.

  3. It's good to see... on Nintendo Embedding Classic Games on Trading Cards · · Score: 1

    that there's a demand for NES play still. Even with all the great new systems out, NES games can still be as much, if not more fun, and very few new games (except notably Devil May Cry for PS2) are truly 'Nintendo Hard.'

  4. Re:possible drawbacks on Genetically Engineering Sheep for Larger, Stronger Hindquarters · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Depending on the actual mechanism of the gene, the sheep most likely would not contract cancer, unless it allowed for CONTINUED muscle growth throughout life. Ordinarily, most mammals are born with a certain number of muscle cells - the number never changes, merely the bulk of each cell. Unrestricted cell division, however, is another word for cancer. Humans could not contract cancer either, merely from eating particularly large muscle groups.

  5. Why not? on Advertising on a Free Wireless Network? · · Score: 1

    Sure, banner ads are annoying, and would generally only disuade one from using the advertised product - but its a free wireless network. I think it would be taken advantage of, so long as it's in an area where one would WANT to get online (i.e. public park, downtown area).

  6. programming on Charles Simonyi leaves Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Forgive me, but how does one code without text syntax?

  7. Robot Doom on Egyptian Pyramid Rover Finds... Another Door · · Score: 1

    Eventually, that little robot is going to open a door, peek through - and go skittering down a shaft, camera rolling all the way, home viewers, scientists, and long dead pharoahs all alike laughing their asses off.
