  1. Re:Headline should say... on Nature: Global Temperatures Are a Falling Trend · · Score: 1

    Not much we can do for 2 or 3 billion people of crops burn or flood.

    But other areas will no doubt become better for growing at the same time.

  2. Re:Introductory materials about navigation? on Ask Dr. Ramsey Faragher About Navigation/Positioning Technology · · Score: 1

    There's quite a bit of open source software available for GPS. Take a look at GPS Toolkit for example.

    SolarCity, which apparently is the largest provider of solar systems in the US

  9. Re:Whatcouldpossiblygowrong on 'Inexact' Chips Save Power By Fudging the Math · · Score: 1

    Oh I get it! Just run a precise chip along with the others, and whichever one matched the precise chip is the one to believe! Wait ... something doesn't seem right.

  10. Re:Why HTML5 apps suck on mobile on With BB10, RIM Tries To Break Out of the 'Mobile Ecosystem' Model · · Score: 1

    ... which I doubt since the BB train has long since sailed in the US market...

    Holy mixed metaphors, Batman!

    If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

  11. Re:Repeat Customers? on Russian Superjet 100 Crashes During Demo Flight, Killing All Aboard · · Score: 2

    They still have Aeroflot to fall back on...

    I remember an old David Letterman's top ten list of ways to improve Aeroflot -- more Aero and less flot!

  12. World Domination on Finally, a Shark With a Laser Attached To Its Head · · Score: 5, Funny

    I like this quote: "...and there's actually useful applications in having a laser attached to the animal."

    .... Like world domination

  13. Re:Solar on Electric Airplane Ready For Production · · Score: 1

    It probably would be more beneficial overall if some company would get a piston engine NOT based on the VW bug or a 1970's snowmobile certified for aviation use.

    Like these deisel engines that can also run on Jet Fuel: DA-42

  14. Re:Low level radiation on Scientific Jigsaw Puzzle: Fitting the Pieces of the Low-Level Radiation Debate · · Score: 1

    Humans, as all life, have evolved under low level background radiation. We may be adapted to it.

  17. Re:There's always a downside on Canadians Protest Wind Turbines · · Score: 1

    I've heard more than one news report where people are complaining about a high-pitched whine, which prevents them from sleeping properly, many headaches, etc. Real or immaginary - I can't comment!

  18. Re:how about all the animals? on Poo-Powered Rickshaw Unveiled At the Denver Zoo · · Score: 2

    Yeah, you'd think the chimps would refeul this thing as it drove by by flinging poo at it.

    Sounds like the Life of Brian

    Reg: But apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, viniculture, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

  21. Re:Okay, so I'm not completely informed here, but. on CEO of TuCloud Dares Microsoft To Sue His New Company · · Score: 2

    Actually I don't think any licence is ever simple for anyone except lawyers, and sometimes is still only an interpretation.

    My company was trying to determine if we could use the free version of Google Maps, but the licence didn't make it clear. In the licence Google says not to contact them about the agreement, but consult a lawyer.

  22. Re:Louis Woo is their spokesman? on Foxconn "Glad That Mike Daisey's Lies Were Exposed" · · Score: 1

    I wonder, could they make them small enough to enclose, say, a cell phone?

    you don't use the term "war chest" unless you're talking about lawsuits, either going on the attack or defense.

    Or actual war. Maybe the iTroopers will march on Google.

    Well -- Ever heard of Google Moon and Google Mars?

  25. Re:Great! on Pay the TSA $100 and Bypass Airport Security · · Score: 1

    Yeah the summary really doesn't get the point across, but I thought these things were proven unsafe a while ago.

    I was watching "Mayday" a while back where a fired airline employee bypassed security this way with a gun and killed his boss, who he knew would be on the plane, and then killed both pilots before setting up a nose dive into the ground.
