    I'm sorry my fellow Americans, I do agree than nuking Mexico over oil drilling rights was a bad idea, I didn't know the radiation would spread into the United States, and I didn't know the environmental effects would turn the great plains into a desert, and I didn't know that every other country in the world would proceed to bomb us afterwards, but don't worry, I'll just reload from 4 years ago and everything will be OK!

  7. Re:Frankly... on How Much is Your Right to Vote Worth? · · Score: 1

    The odds of it happening in national and state elections are minuscule, however the odds of it happening in local elections are a lot higher. If you live in a town of 1000 people electing a mayor, 30% vote thats 300 people voting in the election, which stands a fair chance of having the vote determined by a single vote. (This has actually happened twice in towns near me in the last few years) Yes, voting in the national and state elections are next to worthless, and are probably not even worth the gas you use to get to the polling site. The local elections on the other hand are worth quite a bit, and have more of a direct effect on you, yet in elections they are the least emphasized.

  10. Re:Single, double, triple, and quad on AMD Announces Triple-Core Phenom Processors · · Score: 1

    actually i think its more like, 90% of the cores work.

    With single core processors, 90% work 10% don't.

    duel core: 81% have both cores working, 18% have one working core, 1% have no working cores.

    tri core: 73% 3 cores work 20% have 2 cores working 7% have one working, a tiny fraction have no cores

    quad cores: 66% all cores work, 25% have 3 cores working 8% have 2 1% have 1, tiny fraction has no cores working.

    Note though this is just an example. In RL theres probably defects that could affect multiple cores around the defect, making multiple failures in a chip more likely, etc, but with more cores, it more likely that at least one will have a defect.

    I have adblock as well. My policy with using it is this: If the ad is annoying (lots of movement, flashing, etc) I will block it. If I see several of these kinds of ads coming from the same ad servers/domain (doubleclick.net for example) , I block all ads from those servers/company/domain. You want me to see your ads? Don't make them annoying, and don't purchase advertising from a company that displays annoying ads. Ypu want me to see ads on your site? Don't get advertising from companies that display annoying ads. I don't have Google adwords blocked. Feel free to show ads from them.

    My school district had a system like this in place for English/reading comprehension in elementary school (1-5th grades), but not middle school (6-8th grades).

  17. Semi-inhabital new worlds on Earthlike Planet Orbiting Nearby Star · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What about people that gain weight going from ~ 120lbs to say, 260. As its done over time, the body adapts and they are still able to walk around and live normally (although it does have adverse health effects) I think it is possible for people to adapt, but it will not be comfortable, especially for the first generation, and they will probably live a lot shorter. If this doesn't work however, It may however be possible to genetically engineer humans to live on high-G environments, increasing muscle mass, and bone density and thickness, as well as cardiovascular improvements.

    I am aware of one experiment of putting someone in a high-G centerfuge and subjecting him to 1.5G's. The experiment was terminated early, due to the participant having a mild heart attack. Keep in mind, the participant wasn't given time to acclimate to the new environment gradually, and the experiment was short in duration, lasting only about a week, as it was designed more towards seeing if a high-G environment could help astronauts overcome loss of muscle mass and bone decalcification faster than normal after returning to earth, rather than colonization of a high-G environment.
