  1. Re:Plant Respiration on $25M Bounty Offered for Global Warming Fix · · Score: 1

    If it could be done cheaply enough it might not just be eco-friendly, but profitable as well, with the $25 million payment as a bonus. so is the 25mil cash bonus a worthy incentive to get the ball rolling?
  2. Re:not quite right on German Past Haunts Gamers' Future · · Score: 1

    the whole swastika debate is crazy. we all know its been around for thousands of years as a hindu icon. but one nation perverts this and its axed from then on?

  8. new gaming paradigm needed on So You Want To Be a Game Designer? · · Score: 1

  11. Re:What's next... assassians? on CMU Professor's Rebuttal Against RIAA Propaganda · · Score: 2, Funny

    assassians.... probably soon.

    this will become more common in time as the corporations get bigger... its like shadowrun but they would rarely be used because marketing can create armies to do their biding.

  15. Re:legitimate eventually to cite self-education? on Free/Open-Access Academic Journals Growing · · Score: 1

    well the internet is showing lots of people why free press ideas are good and healthy for us poor folks on earth.

    places like colleges will have to be more specialized. but over time i see things like community colleges merging with internshipsish hands-on job training.

    recently heard coast-to-coast am host george noory talk about giving college credits for listening to so many shows... don't think it will happen, but a nice idea.

  22. captain these glasses are skipping on Lucas To Redo Star Wars In 3-D · · Score: 1

    these are the types of things 3D glasses lend themselves too....

  23. more then we think on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 2, Interesting

    just recently heard michio kaku talk about trying to measuring minute changes in gravity to show that 'parallel worlds' are right around us and ties it in with dark matter.

    as far as the placebo effect goes, when i am happy- i feel good!

  24. oh art on Google's X Files Vanish · · Score: 1

    google tends to rely on the text based approach for sub.sections. which is ok, but having simple art icons, that if well done, can only be a cool thing for the user.

    but if .apple calls a simple magnification of images upon rolloevers theirs, thats just lame... we all call it 'dock' effect now... its totally public domain

  25. culture now laws on Australia-U.S. Trade Agreement Takes First Strike · · Score: 5, Insightful

    its bad enough that we spread crap media and movies to countries like australia, now we give them laws...
