  1. Re:They're assholes. on Why Lizard Squad Took Down PSN and Xbox Live On Christmas Day · · Score: 0

    That's an insult to assholes. They're terrorists.

  2. Re:I don't understand this ... on Stars Traveling Close To Light Speed Could Spread Life Through the Universe · · Score: 1

    TFA says, they can spread life "beyond the boundaries of their host galaxies"

  3. Satellite images on Australia Elaborates On a New Drift Model To Find MH370 · · Score: 1

    In the weeks after the plane went missing I've spent hours looking at satellite images at tomnod.com, but later found out they were supplying images of the wrong areas. They were based on unreliable eye witness accounts of people who had claimed to have seen the plane.

    I was annoyed that they kept wasting my time, even after it became clear that those witnesses couldn't have seen MH370 at all. But I would still invest time if they would supply significant images, of the area and during the time where it's most likely been. It's still possible that MH370 was photographed while it was still in the air.

  6. Re:Credit Cards? on European Parliament Considers Sharing Passenger Information By Default · · Score: 0

    The requirement for credit card information can only have come from American influence. Because credit cards are hardly ever used in Europe, that proposed law even sounds silly to me because of that.

    Yesterday I went swimming in a pond but now I can't fin.. Oh look, a tweet.

    Maybe not. Has anyone carefully inspected their EULA?

  12. Re:Thermal capacity of rock? on NASA Study: Ocean Abyss Has Not Warmed · · Score: 1

    Call me naive too, but I'm not convinced that there's a net downward movement of energy in the oceans. I'd say that the seabed overall is probably warmer than the cold water directly above it, so there should be a resulting upward transfer of energy.

    Nobody would have touched it if he had clasped that iPod in his bionic hand.

  21. Re:Why do they want us to see it anyway? on Put A Red Cross PSA In Front Of the ISIS Beheading Video · · Score: 1

    What I don't get is how they can justify using modern technology like internet, and modern arms and explosives, while they claim to want to live a 'purified' life like people who lived more than a thousand years ago. Their life is a lie, but alas they're too illogical to understand that.

  22. Re:Math wrong by one order of magnitude ... on Google Receives Takedown Request Every 8 Milliseconds · · Score: 2

    Oh good. I was thinking how hard that job must be, but every 0.0864 seconds is a lot easier then every 0.00864.
