  1. Re:Grr... on 10 Years of Half-Life · · Score: 1

    I believe Robin Walker and John Cook were the two who really implemented the mod, however... and they were hired by Valve.

    Side Note: Robin Walker answers e-mails... I've sent him multiple since I was a kid playing the original TF and he is extremely kind and helpful.

  2. Re:And in other simulations: on Simulation Predicts Clumps of Dark Matter Within Galaxies · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, its better than in my simulation where they found dark matter in Uranus.

  3. Biggest Problem on Home-Based Hydrogen Refueling Station · · Score: 1

    I love the idea!

    As I see it though, the biggest problem isn't necessarily the inherent danger that hydrogen has, but is the mere fact that this is something that COMPLETELY removes the large petroleum companies from the loop. I can only imagine that the issue of danger will be drastically overinflated until the idea that any normal person cannot be expected to handle the danger that comes with hydrogen, when compared to the grade A gas station attendants

    As you can expect, the attendants would have some sort of hydrogen handbook. It would prevent explosions. Also, water for hydrogen would suddenly become the most expensive commodity know to man...

  4. Re:Insanity on MPAA Scores First P2P Jury Conviction · · Score: 1

    While I feel your comments go a little too far, on the other hand, it seems as if this is VERY light in actual economic impact, whereas you have a war that is sucking billions every month.

    It just doesn't seem right, because the only problem that the stealing of software can do is produced an economic loss, whereas a war has produced the perfect conditions for a recession.

  5. Some suck.. others.. not so much on Entertainment Weekly Bemoans Lack of Great Science Books · · Score: 1

    I can't refer to a post that was made in another discussion the other day because I'm lazy, but it stated that science has become so specialized that it is essentially pretty boring.

    I agree with this statement, the most influential science books are those you will read while studying subjects to practice them in your future.. at the time they suck though, at least in my experience.

    Finally, for entertainment, I have always found Michael Crichton's works... while dumbed down, were interesting because they tackled subjects that are pertinent, while also producing amusing story-lines. (Not all, but some).

  6. Re:Women are somewhat masochistic... on Studies Confirm That Bad Boys Get More Girls · · Score: 1

    I know what you mean, it's not that all women grow up, but in moving from high school to college to adulthood, more women than not seem to move out of a stage dominated solely by feelings related to these bad boys.

    the more important question is, are they just suppressing that feeling, or are they really "growing up" if you will.

  7. Re:Women are somewhat masochistic... on Studies Confirm That Bad Boys Get More Girls · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Precisely, I first figured this out to some extent in High School where my strategy at time time evolved to make fun of the girl I liked at the time the most to no end.

    It turns out, women are so self-conscious in High School that, even seeming that you are at some point where you are able to display that you better than them, they immediately want to latch on.

    I have since grown from this pattern, which works, for a select purpose.

    Some women will never grow up, and if you want to have one like that, what worked in High School, will probably work now.

    For the most part, however, women do mature to a point where a good provider is the best choice for her.

  8. Re:Math and Science teachers? on US House Approves Over $300 Million For Science Agencies · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I won't post with the audacity to state such an incredible stereotype, but...

    In America, the quality of math and science teachers is decreasing overall because of this fact. Why take a job paying such a pittance when you could take a potential lab or research job that would pay more?

    This leaves us with the students who were the worst in their studies teaching. Obviously this isn't true of all teachers, it does however, seem to be a trend that is developing.

    I have friends who in college had aspirations to become doctors and engineers, however after they couldn't cut it, changed their majors to education.

    Two are biology teachers, one is a chemistry teacher, and the four are social studies of some variety or another.

  9. Re:Just Unbibium? on First Superheavy Element Found In Nature · · Score: 1

    Mass Spectroscopy was all you needed to say-- I didn't know if it was a Mass Spec. I haven't encountered in some way before

    On top of that, you didn't read the question I really didn't know (and deemed more important, (More Importantly)),

    Were they only looking for Unbibium or any and all superheavy metals?

  10. Just Unbibium? on First Superheavy Element Found In Nature · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Its quite amazing how singular Nuclei can be found-- What kind of procedures are used to identify specific elements. More importantly, were they only looking for Unbibium or any of the superheavy metals?
