  1. Re:New mugging tool but easy to prevent on RFID Tags in Euro Banknotes · · Score: 1

    Shoot, they've got duct tape wallets at Thinkgeek, why not tinfoil??? Opens up a whole new market.

  2. Re:Slashdot on Your Most Damage-Resistant Hardware? · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah??? Give us your IP address and let's see how long that sucker lasts!!!

  5. Re:I heard it on Space Shuttle Columbia Breaks Up Over Texas · · Score: 1

    They claim that some insulation fell from the shuttle when they launched.

    RTFA man. It says insulation fell off the external fuel tank, not the shuttle. Possibly damaging the wing, but not degrading the heat resistance of the shuttle itself. Get your facts straight before calling names.

    How about these? They got up to 13,000 ft!

    Thats right. However, just because people say it over and over, doesn't mean it's not true, either.

    religion noun:
    a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith

    Since you can't prove evolution as the beginning of life (at least until someone invents a time machine, and how likely is that?), you're holding it in faith. How is that any different from believing in creation?

  8. Re:it's all lies on Racing Dinosaurs with Spoilers · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Don't you know that God created everything in six days, the world's only 5000 years old,

    Don't see how that's any less believable than we all came from slime (and before that, hydrogen) and the world is 10 billion years old. Be careful about passing off theory as fact. Evolution is just as much a religion as Creationism.

  9. Re:'Nother reason? on No Future in American Science · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Could it also be that kids are discouraged from experimenting in their own back yards? Look at Thomas Edison. He was blowing up his shed when he was what? 11? And while he wasn't exactly encouraged, he wasn't thrown in jail. Nowaday's you'd get your tail kicked by the authorities for trying to make a bomb. Isn't exactly conducive to nerdy behavior.
