  1. Re:Dark Matter? on Rogue Brown Dwarf Lurks In Our Cosmic Neighborhood · · Score: 1

    Np, the dark matter scientists are looking for is tied up in the form of the packing material for the instuments that scientists use to look for the dark matter.

  2. Aluminium Motorcycle Helmet, Not Impressed. on 5-Axis Robot Carves Metal Like Butter · · Score: 1

    I would be more impressed if it couls take a chunk of Aluminium and carve out a tinfoil hat with the same thickness as one made out of Reynoulds Aluminium foil. Then I would be impressed.

  3. This is going to ruin Sailor Moon.... on Dwarf Planets Accumulate In Outer Solar System · · Score: 0

    I though Sailor Chibi-Moon aka. (the even more annoying sawed off munchkin version of Sailor Moon) was bad enough.

    Now we are going to Have all of these Dwarf Planets represented by hundreds of annoying sawed off Sailor Scouts. Plus their names will be damned confusing. Names like: "Sailor (55565) 2002 AW", Sailor Makemake, Sailor "(84522) 2002 TC302", Sailor 50000 Quaoar. I mean what the hell is their Transomation scene going to sound like? Sailor Makemake Make-up.... That just sounds completely retarded.

    Damn the dwarf planets, the sooner we can blow them all up the sooner anime will be safe again...

  4. Re:The device is cheap, but the cartridges ... on Wake Forest Researchers Swap Skin Grafts For Cell Spraying · · Score: 4, Funny

    I know this one "person" who has to make sure their subject gets through a maze using a specilized tool. They motivate the subject by offering a tasty morsel and the subject usuallu complies. The subject sometimes breaks out of the maze right before they terminate the subject in a temprature controlled sterilization procedure. It is a pain because they have to plan an event to make the subject think that they succeeded in escaping, when in fact they didn't.

    There is a lot of mess when it comes to making sure the Science gets done.

  7. Re:Moral compass? on Magnetism Can Sway Man's Moral Compass · · Score: 1

    Ummm.... Hate to break it to you but the Magnetic Field basically induced "Relitavistic Morality" in the subjects. The other side of the political spectrum (liberals, Socialists) is big on Relivavstic Morality. The Tea Party people are more people of "Absolute Morality", That is they are stiff on their Moral Compas because the rod they shoved up their rears and would ascribe someone's actions as bad even if they don't hurt anyone. The Hippie people of the other side of the spectrum, would argue that if no one was hurt then the law doesn't matter.

    Abortion rights for example, The Tea Parties are mostly Anti-Abortion, because they view killing as wrong and they are inflexible on it. They are even against drugs like RU-486 even though they terminate the fetus when it still is very much a clump of cells. They are inflexible about terminating the Preganancy when the fetus is still a undefritiated mass of cells, this is the Trap of Moral Absolutism.

    The Pro-Choice side views the fetus as an optional inconveince to the mother and view it is her choice, her morality on if to terminate the pregancy or not. They view a fetus of 1 week vs. one of 8 months as the same "mass of cells". So they view termination of a fetus as not murder, so when killing a fresh newborn would be considered murder, but when aborting the same fetus one hour before that would not be... Even when we know that the fetus is pretty much the exact same thing. Their Morality of what constitutes murder is moraly relative as when it is done. There have been some thought on the left that infanticide should be legalized on these same grounds, pushing the limit to past birth... This is the Trap of Relative Morality.

    The Common Sense usually is found somewhere in the middle of both extremes....

    So I think the Tea Party Logo Should be some material that is Anti-Magnetic.

  9. Re:or they could you know...spend less money? on 10% Tax On Custom Software, $100M Tax Cut For Microsoft · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They should force Congress on a diet of Ramen Noodles and Mac 'n Cheese. They should put ever damn one of those jackasses in cubibcles instead of offices, put them up in two to three members per room dorm type housing, install a timeclock in the senate and house chambers where they have to clock in with their finger prints in order to get paid and only be paid per hour they are actually in session.

    This should save A lot of money.

  10. Soak the Rich Big Businesses, Screw the Little Guy on 10% Tax On Custom Software, $100M Tax Cut For Microsoft · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Any regulation that is invariably put in place to "Soak the Rich Big Businesses" will inevitably turn around and screw the medium to small business. Why is this?

    Example:

    Microsoft is big enough to hire as many tax lawyers and other attorneys as needed to deal with any sort of regulation that the federal government tries to impose ont hem.

    Meanwhile Bob T. McProgrammer is writing a piece of custom software and he gets screwed because he had no idea he had to fill out forms 1342-GOV and 1040-SCREW-U Schedule G when he sold it to someone. The IRS arrives and takes everything that Bob T Programmer ever made and he ends up disillusioned and has to work for Microsoft for 1/2 as much money he was making as an independant programmer.

    The MS Lawyers squeal with glee as more regulations from D.C. will keep them employed at MS for years and decades to come and they saved money not having to buy up Bob T. McProgrammer's company and instead can hire him for a song and tell him to write the same sort of software....

  16. Disney Example, or how it should be. on YouTube Was Evil, and Google Knew It · · Score: 1

    Disney can own the character of Mickey Mouse, but they shouldn't be able to own the Steamboat Willie Cartoon, so if a company in China of Ohio wants to release a DVD of Steamboat Willie they can, but they cannot create a new cartoon with Mickey mouse in it. The only who can create a new cartoon with MM is Disney.

    Eventually all of the Disney Classics should become Public Domain after 50 years after each one is released. They can own their own created characters like the "Disney Version of Snow White" but they cannot own the Character of "Snow White" because that one went into public domain with the book. Disney should be able to protect their plates with "Disney Snow White" on them from being copied, but shouldn't be able to prevent someone from creating their own snow white cartoon based on the original book which is in Public Domain.

    Right now Disney is riding roughshod over copyright and public domain because a lot of their films should be entering public Domain but strangely enough they are not....
