  1. Does it? on Smart Camera Tells Tobacco From Marijuana · · Score: 3, Informative

    Perhaps I missed it in the article, but it mentions nothing about marijuana or hand rolled cigarettes. It talks about real roses and silk roses. I suppose, in theory, it could do this, but I think it would tell what kinda of paper they used to roll the joint before it tells us whats inside the joint.

  2. Re:News Flash on Crysis 2 Most Pirated Game of 2011 · · Score: 0

    What game or song have you played that only allows 5 times? Does your car keys work on more than 1 car?

    Interestingly enough I know a couple guys that both have TransAms who, for whatever reason, tried their keys each others cars and it worked. They compared the keys to find the cuts were damn dear identical.

  3. the power of 5k words... on Are Maker Spaces the Future of Public Libraries? · · Score: 0

    From the article: "People say that's a lot. Well, no, it isn't. English is a language with a million and a half words in it, an extra five thousand new ones isn't world-shattering news. So yes, there has been change as a result of technology as you'd expect, but it hasn't been... ...as great as people think." I think they underestimate the magnitude of 5k new words. People typically know around 20k words. if they picked up 5k or even 2k of these new words, they either increased their vocabulary by 10% or replaced words they used previously.

  4. If there's a will... on DNA Test To Determine Kids' Sports Futures · · Score: 0

    perhaps that's what the $2 are for?

  8. Re:green tech on Algae Could Be the Key To Ultra-Thin Batteries · · Score: 0

    I agree with your post for the most part, but the bit about the fast food industry making false claims with their billboards is a bit a of a stretch, At one point in my life I worked in fast food and I can tell you it is entirely possible to make the food look as good as the menu pictures and advertisements. It all depends on who is cooking. I for one made the food look like the pictures (it wasn't that difficult). What separates fast food from, say, politicians is that highschool kids don't care what they are doing. Politicians tend to tell out right lies.

  20. Re:Pardon my Ignorance.... on First New Gaiman Sandman In 7 Years · · Score: 1

    sandman, as far as i can gather (is a comic fanboy) is some guys character that he changed at will. i believe the sandman has gone thruogh like four drastic concept changes. he was orignalyl a crime fighter w/ a gas mask. the latest rencarnation (the hell like charecter) is well... im not sure... ive only read one story about the original sandman. i am problay wrong. feel free to correct any of my errors,\.
