  1. Re:Why not go dual core? on Doctor Ready to Perform First Human Head Transplant (newsweek.com) · · Score: 0

    It would seem unethical to graft a older head to a 16 year old body. In time they would eventually remove the original head. Seems like it would make a good sci-fi film. Seems like it might happen someday because we seem to be genetically producing more of the people that would do such a thing.

  2. Musk is a Fucking Retard on Elon Musk Plans To Solve Traffic Congestion With Self-Driving Buses (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    Put all vehicles on tracks, and let a computer operate the track and vehicle. This type of system will pay for itself in 5 years.

  3. Re:Way too many buzzwords to sound credible on New State of Matter Detected in a Two-Dimensional Material (phys.org) · · Score: 0

    I think it's just a layer of a field they are seeing.

  4. Re:First post? on Unmanned Cargo Ship Reaches ISS On Resupply Mission (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    They could make things more exiting by sending a loose tiger or an open basket of cobras. It would be a cool April fools prank.

  5. Early Stages of Evolution on Scientists Say Smart People Are Better Off With Fewer Friends · · Score: 1

    Intelligence is the ability to not ignore reality. The stages of getting there can be difficult when our species is still in the early stages of evolution. The first step in getting out of the "survival of the fittest" stage is to realize that discrimination and prejudice is merely a genetic reflex. It is difficult to hate everyone Equally and still have close friends. But still, a small price for intellegence.

  6. Re:mere report(non peer reviewed) is proof? on Report: Science Can Now Link Climate Change To (Some) Extreme Weather (phys.org) · · Score: 0

    There are less fires now than in the past 20 or so years. The size of the fires has increased. The costs of fighting fires and property damage have increased also. I think the percentage of fires accidently started by humans may be less or equal, It should of increased due to population size. I can assume that people are learning not to start them. The size of the fires are blamed on spuce budworm. Spruce budworm is spread by warmer winter weather.. hence gw.

  7. The cleanup cost is estimated at $250 billion. It will only be successful if they throw in a few miracles. They need a way to tunnel under the plant and fill it with concrete before the melted fuel reaches water. They still need a way to store the spent fuel.

  8. Re:And what are the effects? on Two Astronauts Return To Earth After Record 340 Days In ISS (technews.mobi) · · Score: 0

    Short term memory loss. Making them work longer for less pay. A win win for NASA.

  9. Random Evolution on AI Bookworms Seek To Predict Human Behavior (thestack.com) · · Score: 0

    They will find that our decisions are random. It can be seen in our political events. We are still in the early stages of evolution...we would not be able to recognize an AI if it was right in front of us.

  10. Still Unsustainable on Linguistics Could Help Future Driverless Cars Cooperate Better (thestack.com) · · Score: 0

    It may solve some of the problems, But it's unsustainable if you factor in population growth. The only solution is to put them on rails. It will cut the weight of the car in half and double the speed. If the track and the cars are computerized it will be accident free.

  11. Check out this number! 280 billion dollars for cleaning up the Fukushima site. That's only if they come up with a few free miracles, and allowed to dump the waist just outside the harbor. wtf

  12. Manuela Campanelli, Cheers, Phone chat before award ceremony in Brownsville. Information is never lost.

    Now we have a chance at cleaning up the waste from the last free energy project.

  14. Timing Genes on New Clues To How the Brain Maps Time (quantamagazine.org) · · Score: 0

    I once tried to locate timing genes due to the shape of the protein.... I cant remember the amino acid sequence I was after. Hoping to get back into that project someday. It would be the most important gene in the genome. Worthy of a patent.

  16. Ice Age Question on Grisly Find Suggests Humans Inhabited Arctic 45,000 Years Ago (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    Can the arctic ocean be open during an ice age? It seems that if the arctic ocean stays open during the winter, the polar vortex would seek the path of least resistance and settle over a continent. The jet stream would change also. This could explain why palm pollen from the Caribien was found in core samples in northwestern Canada. It's kinda like what's going on now with our weather.

  17. The Difference on Federal Law Now Says Kids Can Walk To School Alone (fastcoexist.com) · · Score: -1

    The difference is that both parents are slaves. There was a time that people looked out of the window to see the weather and environment. People had the time to realize that something was out of place or that something in the neighborhood as unsafe. People would watch as the kids moved down the street. The other problem is that our global transportation systems need to be thrown in the dumpster. It's a global disgrace. The amount of energy consumed with our current system is unsustainable, meaning we are doomed if we don't change it. We need a system that is twice as fast using 10 times less energy.

  18. Re:That's exactly right on Why James Hansen Is Wrong About Nuclear Power (thinkprogress.org) · · Score: 0

    The cost to clean up Fukushima is incredible. It's estimated to be around $250 billion and that's using technologies that we have not even invented yet. The true cost will linger for thousands of years.

    If racism was discovered to be an instinctual behavior, needed to keep the survival of the fittest mechanism working and we could genetically remove the genes that cause it, how long would it take before we would realize that wars were lame?
