  8. Re:i'm sorry... on NASA To Auction Automated Code Generation Patents · · Score: 1

    It looks like the US government owns it instead. Quote from the patents:

  9. Re:Problem solved on The Time Travel Paradoxes of Back To the Future · · Score: 1

    An idea would be to swap your "destination bubble of matter" with your "origin bubble of matter", which would be your time machine. But you could still land in a hostile environment like in the middle of a future fusion reactor, or you could swap out half a human. The only way I can see to get around this is to send a probe that doesn't 'materialize', so it won't interfere with any matter at your destination.

    A time machine is supposed to travel in the time dimension only, and not in our 3 spatial dimensions.

  15. Relax and use your other hand on Best Mobile Computing Options For People With RSI? · · Score: 1

    Years ago I developed RSI in my right hand, wrist and shoulder. I realized that RSI is really a muscle cramp, so I learned to always immediately relax my muscles at the first sign of pain. I moved my mouse to my left hand and haven't been troubled by RSI ever since. I'm fine with the mouse on the right when using someone else's computer but I still keep my own mouse on the left.

    My advice: concentrate on immediately relaxing your muscles at the first sign of pain.

  22. Re:Mark of the beast on Taiwanese Researchers Plug RFIDs As Disaster Recovery Aids · · Score: 1

    In WWII it was very easy for the nazis to arrest most of the Jews in some countries, because they were registered as such by the local governments.

    The problem with this kind of tagging is that it would be too easy to target all the Jews in a region, or all the Muslims, or all the 15 year old firstborns, or whatever some dictator could think up.
