  1. Re:Mmm on Sushi Prepared on a Printer · · Score: 1

    Just wait for the inevitable advertising spots on your fillet.

    "We recommend the Chocolate Waffers for afters"

    "Viewing this evening on FOX when you get home..."


    And brings a whole new aspect to burning your food...

  2. Re:one man even drove 400 miles to use the technol on Fingerprints Replace Credit Cards in Seattle · · Score: 1

    I bet he just lost his credit card...

  3. Warning! on Nanotech Brings Battery Life Extender for Mobiles · · Score: 1

    I heard of a guy with a pace-maker who tried to stick one of these onto his battery but touched the NANOTECH sticker by mistake and suffered a myocardial infarction (although admittedly only after 4 recharge cycles).

    It's true! I saw it on a web page!

  4. Re:Of course... on US CD Sales Increase in 2004 · · Score: 1

    And just consider what it is like buying music outside the US or Europe.
    Typical CD prices in a country like South Africa are $24.
    Also, the average disposable income there is WAY lower than in developed countries, making CDs an extremely expensive luxury.
    Would you download a tune you know you are going to tire of in a few weeks or buy the complete album? Hmmm...

  5. Re:Earbuds on Study Links Cell Phones to DNA Damage · · Score: 1

    Well I am no RF engineer, but I suppose the wire will act as an antennae and re-radiate the EM energy it is exposed to (current is induced on it and that in turn creates an EM wave). Depending on the shape of the wire this re-radiated energy will be focused more in certain directions (gain). If this happens to be towards your head you could be par-boiling yourself. Of course this only makes the situation worse for you if the incoming energy is highly focused on a specific spot on your melon, which I think is unlikely. Anyway, one thing is for sure - those earbuds make you look like a real dork.

  6. Re:face transplant on 50 Years of Organ Transplants · · Score: 1

    Oh god, this means Lucid Dream are going to thaw out Tom Cruise sometime next year. No wonder it has taken such a long time to make a decision - talk about an ethical dilema...

  7. Re:Global warming has happened many times on Major Climate Change 5,200 Years Ago Could Repeat · · Score: 1

    Yes but there has never been as much C02 in the atmosphere as there is now (and growing exponentially). What worries most people who care about quality of life on this planet for the forseeable future is that THIS climate change is almost certainly due to human influence.

  8. Re:Possibly a good thing on Major Climate Change 5,200 Years Ago Could Repeat · · Score: 1

    I meant the 'impending disaster' not the previous 'loosely proven' disaster.

  9. Re:Possibly a good thing on Major Climate Change 5,200 Years Ago Could Repeat · · Score: 1

    Ironic then that civilization has caused this event...
