  1. Re:How do they measure the dosing? on LSD Microdosing Gaining Popularity For Silicon Valley Professionals (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 1

    Dissolve a tab in 1L water. Mix well. Pour 100 mL portions as needed

  2. Re:"Start me up" - What was Gates thinking? on Windows 95 Turns 20 · · Score: 3, Informative
  3. Microsoft too? on Hacked Sony Emails Reveal That Sony Had Pirated Books About Hacking · · Score: 1

    Maybe 15, 20 years ago, I remember reading that someone had opened some (Win 98? Me?) binaries in an editor and found evidence of a warez signature. Google is failing me -- anyone remember this??

  4. I'm sorry but on Homestar Runner To Return Soon · · Score: 1, Interesting
    instead of -abandoning- their creation, I never understood why these guys didn't sell the rights a decade ago and let adult swim or w/e run with it. They had offers. It would be alive and surely people would surely enjoy it....though of course there would be purist sourpusses at by whom to be yelled. (? english)

    And as someone who has played in horrible bands, I say, screw artistic integrity, it's 'merica. Get paid. These guys had kids, right?

  5. Re:Money for his defense on DOJ Hasn't Actually Found Silk Road Founder's Bitcoin Yet · · Score: 2

    Everyone's an armchair criminal mastermind now that Breaking Bad is done.

    Don't see anything terrible there. You are talking out your ass.

  7. Re:Pythagoras strikes again... on Why Dissonant Music Sounds 'Wrong' · · Score: 1

    I, too, read the book "An Imaginary Tale - (sqrt(-1))". You have piano mistaken for guitar -- guitar is equally tempered; piano is tampered to make the intervals integer ratios.

  8. Re:Found at 125 GeV on LHC Discovers New Particle That Looks Like the Higgs Boson · · Score: 4, Informative
    What the hell, people??? Parent has binding energy right. The particles alone are heavier. This goes for chemistry, as well as nuclear chemistry, as well as nuclear physics. For example, helium: Wolfram Alpha tells me that 2n + 2p = 6.695E-24 g

    The mass of helium is 4.002602 g/mol. Divide by Avogdro's number, and a single atom of helium weighs 6.646E-24 g. The difference in mass is what powers the sun. Parent is simply making the same argument on the scale of a proton split into its parts.

    (disclaimer: I know, blabla deuterium, not protons and neutrons. However, see the definition of a state function.)

  9. Re:Blue hollows on Mercury Turns Out To Be a Weird Little World · · Score: 1

    Alright, well, the main article on Sirens of Titan turned out not to have anything about the harmoniums. But this will do.

  10. Blue hollows on Mercury Turns Out To Be a Weird Little World · · Score: 1

    I knew it! The harmoniums are real!

  11. Troll headline? on Drought-Stricken Texas Town Taps Urine For Water · · Score: 3, Informative

    Urine? Well, yes, but also the feces and the nasty water from industry. As someone has pointed out already, if your WTP collects from the river, you are already drinking treated sewage water.

    At our plant, we have a water reclamation facility at the end of our process, the same type of facility used at the water treatment plant upstream. A WRF is common, iirc, in CA, but is, afaik, the first of its kind here in MN. It is far more common to discharge without the additional filtering and contaminant removal provided by a WRF.

    The water we discharge is tested biweekly for ammonia and phosphorus and daily for total coliforms and biological oxygen demand. Ammonia and coliforms are non-detectable ~99% of the time. We are doing a very good job turning sewage into drinking water for the next town on the river.

    Your logic is bad and you should feel bad!

  13. Re:Try it? on Artificial Retinas Can Balance a Pencil On Its End · · Score: 1

    I enjoyed this post quite a lot. Kudos. Also, maybe you should find someone to drive you to the hospital

  14. Re:the arrogance of this on Play Pacman, Pinball, and Pong With a Paramecium · · Score: 1

    Don't worry. The researchers have asked the colony for volunteers. All paramecia you see are in the game of their own free will

  15. Re:Error in TFS on Stable Roentgenium Claimed Found In Gold · · Score: 1
    As a chemistry undergrad currently studying physical chemistry...

    He holds the liquid gold at 1127C. It would take an approximate pressure of 2.1 * 10^-7 atm for liquid gold to boil at 1127C. Now, it strikes me as very unlikely that he is using a close-to-perfect vacuum for this, especially since running any vacuum at all will encourage evaporation, but without further data, who knows, right?

  16. Re:please change your sig on Microsoft Suspends Gamer For Being From Fort Gay · · Score: 1

    Gender is between your ears. That said, the request for ggp to change their sig is moronic. It's a joke

  17. Re:The romans build concrete buildings on Sticky Rice Is the Key To Super Strong Mortar · · Score: 5, Funny

    You're working in the 70s? Aren't wages much lower? Why don't you invest in Apple, Microsoft, or IBM instead?

  18. Re:lol on Acupuncture May Trigger a Natural Painkiller · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Oh, won't somebody PLEASE think of the lab mice??

  19. Re:Nice units, blog writers! on Japanese Researchers Make Plastic Out of Water · · Score: 1

    I neglected 'small amounts' as being journalistically synonymous with 'trace amounts'.

  20. Re:And nothing could possibly go wrong... on Can World's Largest Laser Zap Earth's Energy Woes? · · Score: 1

    How about when the huge ball of intensely hot plasma falls into the water at the end without producing even a hint of steam? Great science in that movie

  21. Re:Could Be Worth Some Money on Meteor Spotted Yesterday Over Midwestern United States · · Score: 1

    My mom, between Waterville and Faribault, saw a piece falling and called me. Said it was coming down, not across. Pretty cool. I don't think she's up for hunting it down, though.

  22. Re:Overstate much? on Man-Made Atomic Clocks the Best In the Universe · · Score: 1

    If we take 'universe' here to mean Earth, then I think pulsars are excluded anyway.

  23. Re:Is it possible? on Moog's MF-401 Auto De-tune Fixes Music · · Score: 1
    If autotune is just a function applied to a waveform, then an inverse function should be possible. Probably a fucking difficult thing to do, though, since most autotune I hear makes pitch changes abrupt (ie, the function is not continuous; a piecewise function. That sure makes a mess of things)
