  1. Re:Has there ever been a more successful cartel? on Huge Diamond Deposits Revealed In Russia · · Score: 1

    I bet the guys in South America could top that.

  2. Re:Diamonds are Carbon - Common as Dirt on Huge Diamond Deposits Revealed In Russia · · Score: 1

    The material holding the diamond wears out long before the diamond itself does. That's the actual tool life limit.

  3. Re:Power Law in Effect on "Out of Africa" Theory Called Into Question By Originator · · Score: 2

    Pretty sure the actual problem is that there is no 'pinpoint' of human origins.

  4. Re:Duh! on "Out of Africa" Theory Called Into Question By Originator · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Pro tip:

    Phrases like "the earth is trying defend itself" and "starving the earth of resources" put you in the crazies column.

  5. Re:Nokia Lumia 920 on Yahoo Excludes BlackBerry From Employee Smartphone List · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you could astropost when they'll actually ship, the rest of the world might care.

  6. Re:Who cares? Phone service serves no purpose on Spoken Commands Crash Bank Phone Lines · · Score: 1

    Everyone should have direct access to the databases!

  7. Re:Video of the talk on Spoken Commands Crash Bank Phone Lines · · Score: 1

    I need to do more sit ups.

  8. Re:um... on Cameras To Watch Cameras In Maryland · · Score: 1

    Sorry I wasn't precise in my distance.

  9. Re:Hmm... on How Viable Is Large Scale Wind Energy? · · Score: 1

    No, it would be like the CEO of the pesticide manufacturer living downstream of the farms.
    Or the CEOs of BP, Transocean & Haliburton living near oil rigs.

    But I love you're evidence of 'empirical data'.

    I don't know why this doesn't happen now. .22 rifle from a few hundred yards. Problem solved AND your gun sighted in.

  11. Re:Hmm... on How Viable Is Large Scale Wind Energy? · · Score: 1

    Duh, obviously, I'm a USian.

  12. Re:Consistent availability is the issue on How Viable Is Large Scale Wind Energy? · · Score: 1

    About the same as straight down.

  13. Re:While it can be done... on How Viable Is Large Scale Wind Energy? · · Score: 1

    Bad synergy caused a magnitude 7 earthquake?

    Stupid MBA words!

  14. Re:Hmm... on How Viable Is Large Scale Wind Energy? · · Score: 1

    Maybe they could make them from tree fibers...

  15. Re:Hmm... on How Viable Is Large Scale Wind Energy? · · Score: 1

    Seems like such a simple concept. Just like adjustable house thermostats. Yet still not there.

  16. Re:Hmm... on How Viable Is Large Scale Wind Energy? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think CEOs (and their families) of companies should be required to live downwind/downstream from their plants. Would make them think twice about cost vs pollution issues.

  17. Re:Hmm... on How Viable Is Large Scale Wind Energy? · · Score: 1

    Kind of like oil/coal/gas.

  18. Re:antitrust issues? on Intel Says Clover Trail Atom CPU Won't Work With Linux · · Score: 5, Informative

    No, that's not what TFA says:

    "The firm said the operating system needs to provide "hints" to the processor in order to make use of power states and it seems likely that such hints are presently not provided by the Linux kernel in order to properly make use of Clover Trail."

    I doubt this will be very difficult for Linux to put into the kernel.

  19. Re:Post-PC world? on Apple Announces iPhone 5 · · Score: 1

    You mean one of those accounts you can get for free?

  20. Re:A drop in the bucket, comparably on Around 200,000 Tons of Deep Water Horizon Oil and Gas Consumed By Bacteria · · Score: 1

    You're off by a few zeros.

  21. Re:What kind of waste do these bacteria produce? on Around 200,000 Tons of Deep Water Horizon Oil and Gas Consumed By Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Dead from oil or dead from lack of oxygen?

    One isn't better than the other.

  22. Re:Where have all the Chicken Littles gone? on Around 200,000 Tons of Deep Water Horizon Oil and Gas Consumed By Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure buying off regulators is self-regulation.

  23. Re:Better Title on How Does the Tiny Waterbear Survive In Outer Space? · · Score: 2

    Heh, they probably calculated rough odds and said the hell with it, just let it go through.
