  1. Re:Nice! on NoScript For Android Devices Released · · Score: 2

    Which is a good thing, since the N900 is a dead platform from a near dead company.

  2. Re:There is room for both. on Amazon Bypassing Publishers By Signing Authors Directly · · Score: 2

    Amazon has editors that they can and do provide. They can in fact offer all that stuff. The article told me so.

    I think LiFePO4 are newer than that. Wikipedia says 1996.

    Your body makes glucose out of that just fine. You even make glucose from non-carbohydrate sources when the need arises.

    2b, use a local backup store of the chemicals needed that can last longer than any survival blood sugar drop. As soon as blood sugar is back in acceptable range start rebuilding local backup storage.

  6. Re:Couch Power on Electrical Power From Humans · · Score: 1

    I have some really bad news for you, the money you make selling the power is not going to pay for the cost of the food. Now it might make for a neat diet and a little spare change, but that is about it.

  7. Re:When they Ask, Where were you. on NASA Charters Flights Aboard Virgin's SpaceShipTwo · · Score: 1

    Who do you think built their rockets in the past?

  8. Re:It is a big difference. on Time Zone Database Has New Home After Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Since all three ideas were independently reached and no one copied the other they can all have copyright on such comments. See if you knew the difference between copyright and patents you would not keep embarrassing yourself like this.

    The surgery to give you a functional brain is expensive and generally considered elective.

  10. Re:I like his idea of on William Shatner Answers, in 826 Words · · Score: 2

    Leave Doctor Who alone. Why does the US film industry and tv industry feel the need to remake good foreign stuff? Just put the original on the air and shove off.

  11. Re:I'd believe it... on Can the Hottest Peppers In the World Kill You? · · Score: 1

    I know the risk and am more than willing to take it. If I was going to eat meat well done I would just become a vegetarian instead.

    All of those are damn rare and easily treatable.
    Anything more likely to kill than lightening or shark attack?

    Also, parasites from salt water fish do not generally survive in humans.

    You have cell turnover, how do you know the you from 5 years ago is the current you?

    They can, but then they need to have enough funding to prove that is what they did in court. It does not matter if you are non-infringing if you don't have the money to prove it. Welcome to American justice.

  15. Re:Taken to the extreme on Can the Hottest Peppers In the World Kill You? · · Score: 1

    Anything other than anecdotes to back that up?
    My first guess would be you consume more liquids or fats when eating hot foods and that is what is causing your issues.

    No, the juice from such peppers will burn most tender skin. Go try it, cut one in half and rub in on your dick.

  18. Re:I'd believe it... on Can the Hottest Peppers In the World Kill You? · · Score: 1

    What is wrong with raw fish? Or most other meat for that matter?

    I have eaten lots of raw fish served on little pillows of rice and even more rare/medium rare meats.

  19. Re:LD50? on Can the Hottest Peppers In the World Kill You? · · Score: 1

    The scoville scale does not work that way. It is not a measure of amount of capsaicin. It is a measure of heat/spicy based on human perception.

  20. Re:I'd believe it... on Can the Hottest Peppers In the World Kill You? · · Score: 1

    I once cut some habeneros up and then took a piss, that was painful. Since then I have learned to use latex gloves when preparing peppers.

  21. Re:Warning from the ambulance service? on Can the Hottest Peppers In the World Kill You? · · Score: 2

    Sweating and panting are normal responses, fainting is a bit unusual common for folks who should not be doing that. Vomiting it the only one that to me signals a problem. I wonder how much this is being hyped for shock value, or if this restaurant owner hired folks to fake it.

    Hot food is often way over hyped, look at the Quaker Steak and Lube atomic sauce, it is just tabasco and some habeneros. That stuff is only 150k scoville. Lots of hot sauces are hotter. Even many natural peppers are hotter.

  22. Re:Taken to the extreme on Can the Hottest Peppers In the World Kill You? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Some people actually enjoy spicy food, it is not about toughness at all. Peppers will not eat a hole in your stomach, that is an old wives tale. Capsaicin just interacts with your sensory neurons and makes them respond as though they were being burned, no real damage is done.

  23. Re:Warning from the ambulance service? on Can the Hottest Peppers In the World Kill You? · · Score: 2

    I have eaten Ghost peppers straight. What is safe for one person may not be for another, does that mean no restaurant can provide food I would consider spicy since it might hurt someone else?

  24. Re:Free Apps? Meh. on RIM Offers Free Apps Following Outage · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    But the providers did not have any outages. The Internet access via the cell provider was fine the whole time.

  25. Re:Big whoop on Samsung Lawyer Fails To Differentiate iPad and Galaxy Tab In Court · · Score: 1

    It was thicker because of the tech at the time. Color is not something patentable. You can trademark one though. I am just using your standard for similarity. Either the Galaxy looks nothing like it or the PC TC1100 is what apple ripped off, which is it?
