  2. Reservations for on Artificial Wombs In the Near Future? · · Score: 3, Funny

  3. Switching Host is best. on Ask Slashdot: What To Do When Finding a Security Breach On Shared Hosting? · · Score: 2

    Don't reward bad behavior. I recently severed a relationship with a hosting company of more than ten years because there support had gone from great to terrible. We had a problem and they wouldn't or couldn't fix the problem so I switched. The switch didn't come without some pain, but now everything is back to normal. Don't reward bad behavior, period.

  4. Been there, done that on Ask Slashdot: Am I Too Old To Retrain? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I was in your same position in my forties. An old mentor gave me this advice...What is the general area in computer technology that you like to do and then build on that. Building, in my case was finding a job in data architecture (starting position) and start doing and learning. This way you are interested enough to slog through the learning curve and still getting a pay check. Hope this helps,

  5. Welcome to 20th Century Capitalism on One Tenth of China's Farmland Polluted With Heavy Metals · · Score: 1

    Industrial growth is always a surprise to agricultural economies that try to modernize using manufacturing as a basis. Great Britain in the 19th century, USA in the 20th and now China. China has the money, but I'm afraid not the will to avoid these types of environmental disasters. A central government should be able to recognize this and make the changes, but if they have succumb to the capitalist influence pedaling method used in the West, they are doomed. It will take the will of the people to force the changes. Welcome to the club,

    These stupid companies think they can treat their customers like children and in the process shoot themselves in the foot.

  10. Finally some sanity on Cutting Prices Is the Only Way To Stop Piracy · · Score: 1

  15. Re:An easier fix? on Deformable Liquid Mirrors For Adaptive Optics · · Score: 1

    This might work or be cost effective for small (up to 10 inch) flat quarter wave mirrors, but as you increase the diameter of these flat mirrors the glass substrate needed to stabilize the first surface mirror will be cost prohibitive.

  16. Not a DIY project on Deformable Liquid Mirrors For Adaptive Optics · · Score: 1

    My telescope will have to wait so that I can save up the $$$. This sounds cool in practice, but even at 7 cm the associated control circuitry and actuators would be prohibitive. Cool though!!

  17. Inertial Dampeners??? on Inertial Mass Separate From Gravitational Mass? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Would this lead to science fictions "Inertial Dampeners"?

  18. Some people don't listen on Digital Photocopiers Loaded With Secrets · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I have pointed this out to my company's computer security guy and his response was, "I don't worry about copiers, that is a human resource issue". I have sent him this story. Maybe that will get him worried. Oh, and I cc'd the CEO.

  19. File this under "In the good old days" on Where To Start In DIY Electronics? · · Score: 1

    Popular Electronics and Popular Science are the two mags from which I learned a lot. Today Maker 'www.makerfaire.com' always have good stuff too.

  20. So, its a marketing label only on Energy Star Program Certifies 15 Out of 20 Bogus Products · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have long thought that some of the devices with the energy star label were not that energy saving. Now I know.

  21. Big Pharma won't like this... on Gates Foundation Plans To Invest $10B Into Vaccines · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Big Pharma won't like this. They make money by providing medicines to treat diseases not prevent them.

  22. Re:Misleading title and summary ! on Organ Damage In Rats From Monsanto GMO Corn · · Score: 1

    However, if Monsanto used these studies to justify to the market (Congress, FDA, the consuming community, etc.), then there is a valid argument to question the acceptance of GM corn from Monsanto.
