  1. Re:"Empathy Tests" on Rats Feel Each Other's Pain · · Score: 1

    Evidence that supports the idea that animals may be able to experience empathy will result in us treating animals more ethically, or at least I'd wager some scientists involved feel that way. I doubt they get some sick pleasure from it, I do understand your concern though.

  2. Re:Just Muscle Cells? on In-Vitro Muscle Cells, It's What's For Dinner · · Score: 1

    My guess is they would add in fat as close to beef fat (tallow), as possible. And some iron (If it could be heme iron I don't know) and other minerals. Don't forget the inedble gristle, OK, forget that.

  3. Re:Legalize Drugs on Mexican Cartel Beheads Another Blogger · · Score: 1

    Right because organized crime died out in the US after prohibition.

    Actually, there was probably a lot less violence. No more rum running.

    Do you think finding a hit man is hard if you have nearly unlimited money at your disposal?

    I think I've just found the material I want for the pigment of my next tattoo.

    Ah, the mod point fountain is always run dry when I read insight like this.

    Riiiight, the country that only inspects 10% of incoming produce is going to do 'more with less' somehow in this situation. Keep dreaming please.

    its not real communism, its more like fascism. sort of like our system at its worst points...

    How long do these panels last though? 7 years?

    So this discussion between you two constitutes 'societal progress'? Anyway, his argument has some merit. Why is Germany doing so well? They have way more regulations, universal health care, higher wages....

  11. Re:I thought they were supposed to be controversia on Anonymous Hackers Take Down Child Porn Websites · · Score: 1

    It's the mark of a good troll I suppose, doing just enough to improve their 'karma' in the public's image so news about them stays fresh. The public isn't 100% decided on them if this hits the mainstream news, I guarantee it. Since really they seem to want attention--anonymously?

  12. Re:Change cannot be stopped on The Case For Piracy · · Score: 1

    No doubt about this, the truth is the public can't defend itself the money power because only a small portion of the population even understands the issues correctly to make any kind of sound decision regarding policy.

    And why are you so sure? If people are unable to make sound decisions it is because of all the information they are bombarded with about it already (bought and paid for). I think people can, and did, make reasonable decisions about copyright that have become outdated and eroded by industry for increased profit at our expense.

  13. Re:How do we work this on Jobs Wanted To Destroy Android · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Mod this UP-- what was REALLY stolen? Look, I'm not out to rain on apple fan's picnics. It's just that people are acting like the iPhone was this big revolutionary tech item when really it was just another device with a big difference: it was polished as hell, marketed well, and easy to develop for.

    Seems like the grid icons are actually from palm pilots, at least they have lots of prior art. Yeah, it was a stylus, and they went to heat based touch.

    Ah yes, I've got mine so fuck everyone else... This is exactly the kind of society that is going to dig itself out the huge cultural, political, and economic whole. We just need more greed. Brilliant! Never mind post people pushing this viewpoint voted in representatives that voted for expensive wars we are all stuck paying for, now they want to slash low income housing, education, and even THE WEATHER for god's sake. Sorry anonymous greedy fuck bag, that's not how any first world nations I know of operate. We are headed for the shitter with the biggest class divide ever because propaganda has been able to convince Joe Schmoe that everyone is out to get a piece of his lunch to pay for "entitlement" and "wasteful government" when really its as much Joe's fault as anyones we are overspent (blue or red). Joe can't see his lunch is going to get smaller either way, he's not rich, and he's not going to be. But that's the way its really going to play for Joes. /End rant.

    Ok, I'm not going to come with the cliched "citation needed", but dude... do you have any evidence to back up any of this?

  25. Finally on Walmart Goes Solar In California · · Score: 1

    Some news that will help get solar taken seriously. I understand its not the end-all of our energy problems (not even close), but its nice to see it get to a price point where the largest of corporations begin to utilize it. I'm not sure if the state granted any subsidies, but I'd have to say if they are going to subsidize something, at least this can't cause radiation evacuations, black lung, acid rain, and the like.
