  1. Re:Transparency in Government is good! on White House Office of Administration Not Subject to FOIA, Says White House · · Score: 3, Informative

    Vote for someone outside of the current two-in-one party system.

  2. Re:Passed Time on Supreme Court Gives Tacit Approval To Warrantless DNA Collection · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the DNA grenade i saw in some recent sci-fi series.

  3. Re:Should come with its own football team on Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook Press WA For $40M For New UW CS Building · · Score: 2

    Right, the US citizenry shouldn't be educated. Keep watching TV :D

  4. So... on The Prickly Partnership Between Uber and Google · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm not fond of Uber (not an user, and read some horror stories about raping, etc).
    I'm also a Google fan.
    But this story reminds me of M$ eating up smaller fish who thought it is safe to partner up with the shark.

  5. Re:Consent of the Governed on Judge Unseals 500+ Stingray Records · · Score: 0

    The US doesn't invade AND occupy its neighbors. They go farther, and don't stay there for decades. Anyone rich enough (in the US) can get a fair trial. In Russia, you have to be a friend of Putin.
    So, there are subtle differences.

  6. Re:From Experience on "Barbie: I Can Be a Computer Engineer" Pulled From Amazon · · Score: 1

    The problem is, she isn't alive. There ARE female programmers this age too. But they are damn rare.
    By the way, there is nothing wrong with designers, writers, etc. They do a lot of important work a game programmer wouldn't be able to do.

  7. Re:Open sores sucks dicks!! on Group Tries To Open Source Seeds · · Score: 1

    Nope, but secure channel issues are already visible.

  8. Re:Horribly sexist ! on Sweden Considers Adding "Sexism" Ratings To Video Games · · Score: 1

    Which is more degrading, a woman with no boobs, or a woman with noticeable boobs? Considering how much women spend on breast enlargement, I would think a woman with considerable boobs is the desirable for them.

  9. Re:Yet Another Fake Picture on Alleged Satellite Photo Says Ukraine Shootdown of MH17 · · Score: 1

    Not just aerial. Their subs sniff around Sweden daily.

  10. Re:Holocaust Deniers in Jewish Studies lecture hal on Creationism Conference at Michigan State University Stirs Unease · · Score: 1

    I see a possibility for a cold fusion conference in a Physics department.

  11. Re:die by taser or gas? on Incapacitating Chemical Agents: Coming Soon To Local Law Enforcement? · · Score: 1

    Yay, thanks for explaining for me. This is exactly what i meant. When there are 500 people held by a largeish number of hostage takers, it is not normal crime but terrorism. Sharpshooters or negotiations won't help. Obviously, i didn't meant to gas a bank building during a botched bankrobbery, but meant obvious terrorist acts, like the russian case.
    In such cases, saving 400 out of 500 is actually a victory.

  12. Re:Cell-level "Radicalization" process? on Detritus From Cancer Cells May Infect Healthy Cells · · Score: 1

    You don't have to go that far and outside of biology for an analogy. It is simply like a virus.

  13. die by taser or gas? on Incapacitating Chemical Agents: Coming Soon To Local Law Enforcement? · · Score: -1, Troll

    The result is a stopped heart. So what's the difference?

    Also, if you can save 400 of 500 in a hostage situation and catch all the 10+ terrorists. Go for it. The terrorists would kill them anyway and if they escape, they can continue their business.

  14. Re:Actually... on First Evidence of Extrasolar Planets Discovered In 1917 · · Score: 1

    He discovered the evidence, he didn't draw any conclusion.

  15. From the article:

    "Kovtyukhova tried leaving out various agents and found that the oxidizing agent wasn't necessary for the reaction to take place." when using her mixture of acids (without the oxidizing agent) on boron nitride (a compound with a structure similar to graphite).

    Then she balked at trying the same mixture on graphite based on "the extensive literature saying that the oxidizing agent was required". Why? Why she tried to remove that frigging agent in the first place then?

    I mean: She knew that her technique without the oxidizing agent works on a material similar to graphite. She knew that the oxidizing agent is bad for graphite. Then why insisting on it???

  16. Re:I've got it!!! on Scientists Who Smuggle Radioactive Materials · · Score: 1

    Those are hindering or directly endangering the government's work. They should be transferred to gitmo.

  17. Re:Are they "small government" republicans ? he he on 3 Congressmen Trying To Tie Up SpaceX · · Score: 1

    So a senator coming from Texas, shooting these guys, will be doing exactly what a representative should do?

  18. heh, this isn't good news on Red Hat CEO: Open Source Goes Mainstream In 2014 · · Score: 1

    I thought it was already mainstream. So this news means, it isn't.

  19. Re:Gotcha covered... on The Man Who Invented the 26th Dimension · · Score: 1

    Except if you go nowhere, because then you are still somewhere.

  20. are there enough on Want To Work Without Prying Eyes? Try Wearing a Body Sock · · Score: 1

    tinfoil threads in this fabric? Otherwise radio waves could still leak through. Just asking...

    You mean, other than letting a foreign company doing spy work in their country? LOL :)

  22. Re:Old news... on Researchers Print Electronic Memory On Paper · · Score: 1

    Ever scanned handwritten documents?

  23. Re:What about the influence of checkers?! on Dungeons & Dragons' Influence and Legacy · · Score: 1

    I work for a video game company, D&D definitely made me successful.

  24. Re:This is total BS on White House Approves Sonic Cannons For Atlantic Energy Exploration · · Score: 2

    Scientists don't know what will happen to a dolphin getting in the way?
    Well, either they explode, or just get their brain squashed. It could be they just become permanently deaf or just scared shitless and swim to the shore to die there.
    Either case: they die, who cares which way?

  25. Re:Wow, pretty cool on New Chemical Process Could Make Ammonia a Practical Car Fuel · · Score: 1

    There will always be a need for rare elements.
    Besides, even mining asteroids for water will be economical once we have more people in space.
