  1. Re:Right next to the disk drive... on Japanese Inventor's Motor Uses 80% Less Power · · Score: 1

    you've obviously never taken apart a hard drive, and removed the very STRONG magnets that are used to move the heads about. we use them at work to magnatize screw drivers, and hang them from below our work cabinet. look at a videotape bulk eraser, and how much magnetic force is needed to erase a videotape...

  2. Re:What kind of idiot legislature... on USB Swiss Army Knife · · Score: 1

    I certainly agree that human life is more valueable that property. I also believe that my wife's and my life are more valueable than a criminal willing to kill us for our property at the risk of getting caught.

    So I have to wait to be threatened before I can defend my possessions? "don't mind me, I am just going to take all of you stuff" "no, please don't". This exchange does not work for me. In fact, the crime rate has INCREASED since this legislature has been passed, for this exact reason. I don't want to wait until I am stabbed before I feel that I can properly defend myself. It has been proven that even the threat of a weapon is enough to deter a criminal, and if I am not going to use the weapon, the threat is empty and useless. I might as well keep a water pistol loaded with hot sauce instead of my 9mm.

    As far as gun's in England are concerned, my understanding is that for sporting use, pistols can only be owned if they are going to be kept at a sporting club, not even in your house.

    The same kind of place that makes it illegal to defend yourself if someone breaks into your house. the use of just about any force, let alone deadly, is frowned upon. I am very glad that I can use deadly force to defend my house and wife, and not go to jail for it.

  5. Re:Then what you do is .... on Science of the coin-toss: Bias in Heads-or-Tails · · Score: 1

    that depends on what surface you drop it on. A soft enough surface will cause the coin to not bounce, and just fall over.

    the last professor that I had was a PHD. He was a moron. I think that your knowlege base and work experience should stand on its own.
