  1. Re:The cold is already cured on Scientists Believe There's Finally A Cure For The Common Cold (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Correlation is not causation.

    Zinc has no known effect on colds.

    Don't forget the biggest genocide in human history - also by the US Government.

    They won't care much.

    Donald Trump just hired their CEO for his personal staff.

  5. Re:ATTN: Flat Earth Truthers on An Underground Ice Deposit On Mars Is Bigger Than New Mexico (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 2

    The main belief of stupid flat earth truthers is that NASA is lying about everything

    Also Trump supporters

  6. I strongly suspect that NASA is suddenly going to find need for a bunch of new, advanced "weather satellites" ;)

    Anyway, as for this article: POTUS can't just "scrap" some random part of NASA. NASA's budget is determined by congress. He can threaten vetoes, but he has to work with congress on the budget.

    It's almost as if you believe that Donald understands how government works.

  7. What does ANY of that have to do with warming caused by greenhouse gases?

    I don't think that another 20 years of $2B research is going to solve anything

    Most of NASA's expense isn't about 'research', it's about providing data for people to analyze.

    We do need that data, believe it or not.

  8. Re:this is a uk goverment plan on Tech Firms Seek To Frustrate Internet History Log Law (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "The Home Office says it will help combat terrorism"

    So would a video camera in every room of every house, but there's a reason we don't do that.

    Maybe, just maybe, the Internet has a bias.

    Keep it. You're gonna need it when you finally figure out what you've done.

    Trump or at least congress can craft the regulations with whatever exemptions they see fit.

    Donald calls this process "Draining the Swamp".

    Whoosh.

    the whole homeopathic preparation is some small amount of a "good thing" like an essential oil.

    Nope. It's actually a small amount of a bad thing.

    Why san't they just throw a lump of it in the sea and cure all known diseases forever?

  16. Re:The USA mocks you on France To Shut Down All Coal-Fired Power Plants By 2023 (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    Germany is run by the hippie party. We all know coal is small lumps of nature.

  17. Re:American robots for the win ... on Apple Explores Making iPhones in the US, Finds 'the Cost Will More Than Double': Nikkei (nikkei.com) · · Score: 1

    It's work for the robot makers.

    (unless they're made by robots)

  18. The USA is producing college graduates with massive debt who can't afford to take normal jobs.

  19. This is just starting some per-emptive whining because Trump has mentioned that he's going to make Apple manufacture in the USA.

    I'm not sure how he thinks he can legally do that. A better solution would to to make Apple pay its taxes.

  20. You can't hear a sonic boom on the ground from a plane that is 45,000 to 50,000 feet high, get a clue.

    It's almost as if you didn't do any research at all before posting that.

  21. Re:Sonic Boom on Richard Branson Reveals Prototype For Supersonic Passenger Aircraft (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    These aircraft will whoosh over their heads and the massive sonic boom will ruin their hair (women) or weave (minorities).

  22. I rarely even fly business class unless someone else is paying...

    Yep, and that's the point. That's why it's called "business" class - because somebody else usually pays for it (a "business").

  23. Re:Where are the developer phones? on Samsung Really, Really Wants Developers To Build Tizen Apps (theinquirer.net) · · Score: 3, Funny

    They must have a large stockpile of Galaxy Note 7's somewhere.

    Surely they could give those away.

  25. And don't forget that burning fossil fuels releases a whole lot of radiation into the air.

    And mercury.
