  4. Re:Excersise for the reader: on Don't Be a Server Hugger! (Video) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Anybody who doesn't understand this is either a complete retard or a filthy, lying marketeer.

    You've got a bad assumption there -- namely that the two are mutually exclusive. It seems to me that the first is a PREREQUISITE for the second. So, by definition, if he's a filthy, lying marketeer, he's also a complete retard.

    By the way, my guess is that he's both.

    "Hey, doc! I've done some first aid before. Mind if I treat your patient?"
    "Hell no!"
    "Why not?"
    "Because I spent years obtaining an advanced degree, and have spent years since practicing and keeping my skills up to date."

    Mod parent up. I was just looking at phones the other day. SIII mini is pretty damned small, and relatively inexpensive, too.

  16. Re:Too much for just one consultant! on What It's Like To Be the Scientific Consultant For The Big Bang Theory · · Score: 1

    The only HUGE mistake I saw was the episode where they blew up the elevator.

    They claimed they could get 8 meganewtons out of Howard's 3 stage model rocket if they used Leonard's new rocket fuel. However, the F-1 motor used in the Saturn V generated only 6.7 MN.

    So they're saying that Leonard's fuel is so revolutionary that a small model rocket could outperform an F-1.
