  1. I think we should use animal fat on Tiny Biodiesel Reactors · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's more concentrated in terms of caloric value (energy).

    Plus, PETA's reaction would be hysterical.

  2. Re:Question: on Sci-Fi Weapons to Join US Arsenal? · · Score: 0

    As the ballistic missile with the nuclear payload falls on your town, you'll wish that the military had spent more money on it...

  3. Re:1.21 gigawatts on Sci-Fi Weapons to Join US Arsenal? · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...and all they'd need is a Flux capacitor!

  4. Re:Eh, not really anything new on Sci-Fi Weapons to Join US Arsenal? · · Score: 1

    JSF... please..

    It can't even supercruise...

    Now an F-22 Raptor.... THAT'S a fighter!

  5. Re:better yet... on Sci-Fi Weapons to Join US Arsenal? · · Score: 1

    Who needs a cluster? Just use Blue Gene/L2 to array the things and make them work in concert.

  6. Re:Mega Watts are easy, and misleading. on Sci-Fi Weapons to Join US Arsenal? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...unless you have so many megawatts that you instantly destroy the laser...

  7. Obligatory on Sci-Fi Weapons to Join US Arsenal? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    ...but, does it run Linux?

  8. Can't we already do this... on Certified Email Not Here to Reduce Spam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is this just going to be RSA message-signing in a shiny package?

  9. Re:Let's all learn a lesson... on Chinese Telecom Company Launches 'RedBerry' · · Score: 1

    Uh oh... [ducks]

  10. Let's all learn a lesson... on Chinese Telecom Company Launches 'RedBerry' · · Score: 1

    Paris Hilton had a Blackberry. Her data was stolen "off of it" because the data is stored on telecom servers.

    Wouldn't the Redberry be a nice way to spy on people?

  11. Re:Search and rescue? on Tiny Flyer Navigates Like Fly · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Are you stupid?

    Finding anything by using a computer-controlled army of fast, insect-sized flyers would be a cinch.

    It would also make it somewhat easier to locate individuals trapped in say... rubble...

  12. Some Don't Care. on Wal-Mart Controls Modern Game Design? · · Score: 1

    Some game dev studios couldn't care less what Sprawlmart or anyone else thinks. For example, Running With Scissors, creators of the Postal games.

  13. FLORIDA on Government-Aided Phishing · · Score: 5, Funny

    From the same people who brought you Indecision 2000... here comes Identity Theft-O-Rama. 3 days in the future: 10:00 News: "For what seems to be no reason, thousands of individuals in Florida seem to be buying things online in mass. Oddly enough, none of the orders are being delivered to Florida. We'll have a video for you after the break. Over to you, Bob."

  14. Re:Patents- on Paul Graham on Patents · · Score: 1

    This post was about you.

  15. Gotta admit on Return of the Web Mob · · Score: 2

    That $25 per 10,000 comps isn't bad....

    One could do a lot with say... $250 worth.

  16. Patents- on Paul Graham on Patents · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Are patents evil?"

    EFF: "Yes."
    Microsoft: "No."
    Smart Person: "Depends..."

  17. Re:Uh..... on Google Wins Rights to Aussie Algorithm · · Score: 1

    Yes... you can. Now put your helmet back on.

  18. Re:What's with the headline? on Google Wins Rights to Aussie Algorithm · · Score: 1

    Since money is irrelevant, and the contest is simply who can write a check faster.

  19. Re:Mine is better on Google Wins Rights to Aussie Algorithm · · Score: 1

    OOPS:
    for (i = 0; i &gt texts.length; i++) if (texts[i].indexof(search) > -1) return texts[i];

  20. Mine is better on Google Wins Rights to Aussie Algorithm · · Score: -1, Troll

    Here it is in Java/pseudocode: for (i = 0; i -1) return texts[i];

  21. Re:Move Along on Advances in Bio-weaponry · · Score: 1

    People who do that are called terrorists. They tend to have the support of a government.

    Besides, anyone with an education in bioscience to that extent would probably try to get a job for a government anyhow.

  22. Move Along on Advances in Bio-weaponry · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nothing to see here. Good article, but the point made is fairly worthless. Technology is getting better and cheaper. Why is it suprising that it should extend to the field of biotech? If the dude next door wants to whack you, I don't think that he needs to produce a virus to do it. I'm pretty sure that guns are still more economical and efficient for personal enterprise of this sort.

  23. Obligatory on Advances in Bio-weaponry · · Score: -1, Redundant

    In Soviet Russia, bioweapons produce you.

  24. Jurrasic Park on Study Explains Evolution's Molecular Advance · · Score: 0

    anyone?

  25. Re:Obligatory: on Stone Age Dentists · · Score: 1

    The fear was that someone would see it as an insult to science, and mod me down as flamebait.
