  1. Re:Just because a theory cant be tested on A Galaxy-Sized Observatory For Gravitational Waves · · Score: 1

    But that requires knowledge that oil spreads out to about one atom worth of thickness, which requires previously knowledge of atoms. And a non-atom model (if that were the universe we lived in) could surely replicate such a phenomenon.

    what ever it is... adjustment of the crust, startquakes, or what the theory of the month is.

    The stopquakes are the ones you have to watch out for.

    He's making fun of you because it sounds like you just came up with the idea for multi-stage rockets and you act like scientists never considered them.

    I'm investing in a solar mine in Africa. If it all pans out I'll be rolling in more solar than I know what to do with. The only kinks left are how to transport all the solar I'm expecting to mine.

  7. Re:Monopoles are not illegal on "Overwhelming" Evidence For Magnetic Monopoles · · Score: 1

    It's only against the law to use your monopole to extort the market.

    If monopoles are made illegal, then only criminals will have monopoles.

  12. Dreamcast hijack thread on Sony and Nintendo Step Up Anti-Piracy Efforts · · Score: 1

    Ahh, the days of Dreamcast. I recently purchased Shenmue 2 EURO for DC. I just have to locate a Dreamcast that can accept boot discs. They removed CD-R readability in later models to combat piracy, but it was far too late.

    Dreamcast was a really good system. It was almost same generation as PS2.

  18. Re:I have no problem with this. on Utah Law Punishes Texters As Much As Drunks In Driving Fatalities · · Score: 1

    Your post reminds me a Usenet post I read about 15 years ago by a guy who did heroin "safely" because he did nice acid/base extractions, filtered with cotton, and never shared needles. Both of you are fooling yourselves.

    Heroin is always bad when taken into the body. Texting while driving has a chance of being bad when you do it. It doesn't have a bad outcome every time. That chance can be lowered, but whether you feel it can be lowered to an acceptable level depends on your judgement. Many people think that the risk is never mitigated enough to justify texting while driving.

  20. Re:I have no problem with this. on Utah Law Punishes Texters As Much As Drunks In Driving Fatalities · · Score: 1

    If somebody does this they deserve what's coming. For me looking at a text it's:

    1-second glance to see a couple of words.
    Glance back up to make sure nothing's changed, takes 1.5sec or so to get my full bearings enough to understand complete situation.
    1-second glance to see a couple of words.
    Etc.

    Writing a text is the same thing... except I usually only get out ONE or TWO letters on iPhone before I have to look back up (about 1sec later).

    I try not to do this while driving because it's really DUMB. I would estimate I've done it about 30 times over the last 6 months of driving. I don't do it during traffic jam situation or where traffic could decide to halt quickly. I always drive with 3-4 second delay (0...1...2...3...4 style counting not 1...2...3...4 style counting). I hold the phone up in above the steering wheel while typing a couple letters at the time, so I can see brakelights during the one-second typings. I try to mitigate risks as best as I can but sometimes I feel the lack of risk at the time makes a good trade off for how important I feel the text is at the time.
