  1. Re:Okay since heat is IR... on Breakthrough Efficient, Paintable Solar Cells · · Score: 1

    Not to be a dork, but heat is NOT the same as infrared radiation. Heat is an energy transfer mechanism. Kind of like work. OK...I am a dork.

  2. wow! on Breakthrough Efficient, Paintable Solar Cells · · Score: 2, Funny

    If this pans out this could change the energy economy in this country. Not to mention the benefit third world countries could get from it. Imagine your grafitti powering your laptop.

  3. Well..... on P2P In 15 Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    ...the government has banned growing a plant (marijuana) which any fool can do with very little effort (or no effort if the wind blows in your favor). For some reason I don't think ease of commiting the act is going to stop a law from being created.

  4. Not to mention... on How Sony's HD Audio Player Falls Short · · Score: 1

    heaven help you if you need customer support due to defective merchandise. I have had so much trouble with Sony's shitty ass customer service that I vowed never to buy Sony again. I smile every time I hear tales of misfortune with there products.

  5. Oops on NASA's Deep Impact · · Score: 1, Funny

    I wonder if there is any danger of some chunks coming to Earth that would be large enough to survive the entry into our atmosphere and cause some damage at the white house? One can always hope.

  6. Close Encounters... on Soviet Space Shuttle Found In Bahrain? · · Score: 1

    reminds me of the scene from Close Encounters where they find the boats and airplanes in the desert

  7. Re: Ummm... on No Secret Ballot for Military Personnel? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I am sorry, I was in the army. Maybe I painted too broad a stroke. Most people in the army are morons. I would swear to that under oath too. Most of the guys and gals that I came into contact with couldn't see past the uniform and come up with their own ideas. Give them a tatoo parlor, cigarettes, beer, and the occasional cup of free coffee and they were content.

  8. Re: Ummm... on No Secret Ballot for Military Personnel? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Being ex military myself I can tell you why they hated Clinton so much. Its because the vast majority of the military are morons and were easily brainwashed into hating him. Alot of it had to do with the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy he started in the military to allow gays. Many soldiers were convinced that gays didn't exist in the military until Clinton came along. This is untrue of course. Clinton also had no military experience so they saw him as a draft dodger. Just like Bush and Cheney. I once had a conversation with a military buddy of mine and he asked me how I could vote for Clinton in good conscience "after making the soldiers go to Bosnia". Looking at the Iraq war and its failure I wonder what that buddy thinks now of Clinton.

  9. Yet more proof... on One, Two, Many - Language Shapes Thought · · Score: 0

    ...that ebonics is nothing but a disservice to the black community

  10. Re:Great...just what our environment needs. on New Disposable Digital Cameras with LCDs · · Score: 1

    One more thing...when something is made to be thrown away after a couple of uses, I think it would be a great idea to make that company have a decent recycling program for the items that just load our land fills.

  11. Great...just what our environment needs. on New Disposable Digital Cameras with LCDs · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Am I the only one who is troubled with disposable cameras? The old kind were bad enough to our environment. What the hell are a bunch of LCD's gonna do to our environment. Besides why would you want a disposable when the real thing doesn't cost that much more.

  12. Angering and Heartbreaking on Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This movie really runs the range of emotions from anger to laughter to sadness. I just wish more republicans would go see it. Unfortunatelky they see it as an attack to their party rather than an attack to a small group of people that happen to be republican. I know a lot of people won't go see it because they don't want to put money in Michael Moore's pocket. I urge everyone to go see it. If you can still vote for Bush after watching it, I would love to hear your rationalization.

  13. Call me ignorant but... on Flaw in Florida E-Voting Machines · · Score: 0

    shouldn't it be easy, I MEAN REALLLLLLLLY EASY, to make a program that counts votes accurately? It seems like an assignment in an introductory programming course. How hard can it be? This is what computers were made for...to count numbers. Anytime I hear of a flaw in something this simple it makes me think these flaws were intentionally put in there for ways to fix elections.

  14. Feces anyone? on Can Communications Be Learned From Chimps? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I am part of the study and am pleasantly surprised by the results. Do you realize what people will do for you to prevent you from hurling feces in their general direction?

  15. Re:I grow weary... on Glenn Urges Direct-to-Mars Trip · · Score: 0

    Just because he is an Engineer doesn't mean shit. As I stated he still had nothing to do with the planning of getting from here to there. Cockpit layout is nice but it doesn't help you solve problems like fuel, food, easily getting raw materials from here to there without having to get off our high g planet. Face it was nothing more than a flyboy.

  16. I grow weary... on Glenn Urges Direct-to-Mars Trip · · Score: 1, Interesting

    ...of people treating John Glenn as if he were some expert in space travel. He was sent to space but never had a damn thing to do with the scientific planning that was necessary to get there. To me he is no more an expert than those monkeys they sent up in flight suits.

  17. Re:How'd you like to reverse the roles? on TeacherReviews.com Forced Offline · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just as there is a system for teacher evaluations set in place. However a grade does not tell the whole story. Unfortunately we can't grade attitude.

  18. What about the flip-side? on TeacherReviews.com Forced Offline · · Score: 1

    I am a professor and do take great offense to irresponsible comments and criticism. What if teachers created a web-site that listed comments about their students. Even though we wouldn't be allowed to post their grades for a given class, we could still give some nasty reviews based upon attitude, and work ethic. Suppose that an employer looked you up and saw these teacher reviews and decides not to hire you based on these reviews.

  19. The Drug Commercial on 10 Ads The US Won't See · · Score: 1

    That drug commercial had to have been inspired by the movie Bad Taste. An oldie but goodie from New Zealand directed by Peter "lord of the Ring" Jackson.
