  1. Why not this? on Stuck Knob Causes Serious Window Damage To Atlantis · · Score: 1

    So the max pressure NASA can achieve is 3psid. During the ferry ride on the back of the 747 it experiences 7psid. So pressurize to 3psid on the ground and then send it up on the back of the 747 again. Maybe even take it a little higher than normal and have someone inside the shuttle to pull the knob out. Land then inspect. Duh!!

  2. Re:It's so obvious on Periodic Table Gets a New, Unnamed Element · · Score: 1

    He might be refering to the fact that Obama is aka Barry Soetoro.

  3. Re:Other uses... on Homeland Security Commissions LED-Based Puke-Saber · · Score: 1

    Worse would be an alcoholic... Esophageal varices could burst open with the force of vomiting causing them to bleed out very quickly. Hope the people using these like wearing biohazard gear everywhere they go to use them. Plus can you imagine the smell?

  4. Re:Copy on Linux Annoyances For Geeks · · Score: 1

    Am I the only person that just uses the mouse? Left click and drag to select, release, move mouse to area you want to paste, click middle button. That's it, and it has worked flawlessly since I can remember.

  5. Re:Bad... But any different... on A DNA Database For All U.S. Workers? · · Score: 1

    "The price you pay for the "awesome social benifit" of having fewer dark skin people," I don't think its about the color of the skin. I personally think darker skin is beautiful (so do alot of people or we wouldn't have all this tanning now would we?). What this is about is individuals who came into the country illegally, work without paying taxes, leach the coffers because we have to pay to educate their kids and pay for their healthcare (which is very expensive b/c they mostly end up in the ER, b/c they don't have a family physician). Oh and what do you want to bet that when you get rear-ended by an illegal that they won't have insurance? Most won't even stay at the scene.

  6. Re:Two sets of chromosomes? on Cell Division Reversed for the First Time · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Human cells can't live with 2x (92) the diplood number (46) of chromosomes. Our cells can only handle the one set it's supposed to have. Just having one duplicate chromosome can cause problems like Down's syndrome which is caused by having an extra 21st chromosome. The merged cell in this case would probably end up dying and lysing itself.

  7. Re:Very interesting on Is Ethanol the Answer to the Energy Dilemma? · · Score: 1

    I beg to differ... Cellulose is 100% carbohydrate. Is just a form a glucose that is linked end to end to form a chain. WE live off of glucose so you can't tell me that there is no carbohydrate in cellulose. It's just that it's in a form that we as humans are unable to digest.

  8. Re:Where's the fun on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 1

    Ummm... Where should he have used they're (they are) or there (as in look over THERE)? Just wondering

  9. Re:Another throw them in the clink moment on Gates: Microsoft IP Finds Its Way Into Free Software · · Score: 1

    The whole point of the 2nd amnd. is that the people still hold some power... if the government cannot take away your weapons they have to deal with the fact that you do have some rights after all. Do you think anyone in washington gives a rats ass about you or I? No!! I'm not saying that they make every decision based on whether or not I have a gun... It's just that they have to account for that fact if they happen to make laws that you or I don't agree with. Americans are pretty lazy and don't give a shit about the what Politicians do as long as they keep off our backs and let us do what we see as right. Sure we could vote them out of office but it might be too late... Laws could change and no more voting. How would we fight back? REVOLUTION!!! We have the right to revolt against our government in armed conflict if the situation calls for it.
