  1. Re:Wonder how? on Bangladesh Slaughters 150,000 Birds After Worst H5N1 Virus Outbreak In 5 Years · · Score: 1

    They where teaching the birds to speak Bengali? I'm not sure how you would teach Aryan languages to chickens, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try.

  2. Re:Strange Name on West Antarctica Warming Faster Than Thought · · Score: 1

    Do you have a better name?

  3. Re:West? on West Antarctica Warming Faster Than Thought · · Score: 2

    I'm guessing the portion west of the prime meridian and east of the international date line. Just a guess.

  4. Re:Asking Obama a question on Marijuana Prosecution Not a High Priority, Says Obama · · Score: 1

    Or how about writing to our judges so they can put an end to this illegal drug war. Show that the 10th amendment still has some teeth!

  5. Re:Why solitary? on Pirate Bay Founder Released From Solitary Confinement · · Score: 1

    Touche. However human rights violations are human rights violations no matter what legal system you have.

  6. Re:Did we really need a study for this? on Brain Disease Found In NFL Players · · Score: 1

    So just because Press2ToContinue thinks something is obvious, no research should be done on a subject? Fortunately science doesn't work on that principle.

  7. Re:Real bread goes stale after 1 day on Scientists Develop Sixty Day Bread · · Score: 1

    Nowhere in the article does it say that the bread never went stale.

  8. Re:Clear Cache? on Search For "Foolproof Suffocation" Missed In Casey Anthony Case · · Score: 1

    Or just do your search from a livecd. Of course then you still have to worry about the data stored by your ISP.

  9. Re:Just another way to bash someone's success on Could Testing Block Psychopaths From Senior Management? · · Score: 2

    To prevent 50% of the remaining deaths (this report was commissioned by Zeno, by the way), the cost increases by $1000.00. And so on. There is a point where someone must say, "Yeah, the harm done by increasing costs that much outweighs the value of the lives saved." An "empathic" person would be unable to draw that line, as he'd be unable to say "Some known percentage of people will die in accidents, people who COULD have been saved if we'd spent more money."

    Being a psychopath isn't about being rational. If anything they're not. In this example, the psychopath cares neither about money being wasted nor people dying in car accidents. Instead they're going to find a way to simply steal the money.

  10. Re:Spite on Highway To Sell: AC/DC iTunes Snub Finally Over · · Score: 2

    Wait, you've been freely giving out copies of St. Anger to people? You are a sadistic fucker!

  12. Re:Bologna on Highway To Sell: AC/DC iTunes Snub Finally Over · · Score: 1

    If they truly wanted people to buy the whole album, then wouldn't they simply make the tracks album only. I know google play and amazon mp3 allow a band to do this, so I assume iTunes has the same option?

  13. Re:Sure it is on Atlantic Hurricane Season 30 Percent Stronger Than Normal · · Score: 1

    Large means a larger storm surge. Katrina generated a larger storm surge than most Cat 4 storms because it was large. Big storms are not good.

  14. Re:Silly question, but... on Atlantic Hurricane Season 30 Percent Stronger Than Normal · · Score: 1

    Some of the times that the NHC expects a tropical depression to weaken, it's because it's moving into an area of high wind shear.

  15. Re:Not necessarily on Why Can't Industry Design an Affordable Hearing Aid? · · Score: 1

    In-ear protection? You mean earplugs? I know etymotic research makes earplugs with a small channel to let in some noise. They don't cost thousands of dollars.

  16. Re:Yogurt does the same thing on Gut Bacteria Cocktail May End Need for Fecal Transplants · · Score: 1

    Sugar, sugar, and more sugar. Try some dannon. You can barely taste the yogurt.

  17. Re:Lawsuits on Dotcom's New Site "Megabox" Almost Ready · · Score: 1

    That is basically what Bandcamp is. Anyone can upload their own music, set their own price, or even go with pay what you want. It's mostly crap, but you can find some decent stuff.

  18. Re:Host country? on Dotcom's New Site "Megabox" Almost Ready · · Score: 1

    Maybe he means the Danish island?

  19. Re:Trolling? on The Day Leo Traynor Confronted His Troll · · Score: 1

    Maybe he's not even a sociopath. Normal people can do some pretty inconsiderate things. Maybe he has some socipathic tendencies and a little punishment will do wonders. If he's a full blown sociopath then no amount of punishment is going to change him. It's hard to draw any conclusions from the information given in the article.

  20. Re:Trolling? on The Day Leo Traynor Confronted His Troll · · Score: 1

    Kid seems like more than just a jerk. Maybe he is that kind of sociopath. Who knows.

  21. Re:Trolling? on The Day Leo Traynor Confronted His Troll · · Score: 1

    The part of the sociopaths brain that connects their present action to future consequences simply does not work. No matter how severe the punishment, the sociopath won't even consider it when hurting someone. That's why these people are constantly in an out of jail.

  22. Re:History repeats itself on How Big Pharma Hooked America On Legal Heroin · · Score: 1

    So, in essence, even for most cases of diagnosed "depression" (not: clinical depression!) these days, I would rather look for changes to my life style (work environment, friends, family, sports, food...) than take medication.

    Most of the time the doctors are just writing prescriptions for placebos. No harm done.

  23. Re:History repeats itself on How Big Pharma Hooked America On Legal Heroin · · Score: 2

    And how many people are addicted to booze? People are looking for ways to alter their minds. Restricting advertising isn't going to do any good.

  24. Re:Good for Whom? on Amazon Now Discounting HarperCollins EBooks · · Score: 1

    Books purchased from google play are automatically downloaded to android devices. On a computer you can download them using Adobe Digital Editions, which will work with any device that supports Adobe's DRM. This includes my Nook Simple Touch.

    Google

    Also, If the publishers where willing to do without DRM there is nothing stopping them from setting up their own store.
