  1. Re:Commonly used in IP field for prior art on Experts Rate Wikipedia Higher Than Non-Experts · · Score: 1

    Are you saying you have patent rights to elephant prophylactics?

  2. Re:How about deposits? on Growing Problems With Electronics Waste · · Score: 1

    I think the equivalent of an SAE addressed to the manufacturer/vendor of the item. If you want to manufacture the stuff for profit, you should have to bear responsibility for managing the resulting waste streams. How better than to force the waste stream back to the original manufacturer?

  3. Re:Tactics for not being interrupted on The Death of the "Cell Phone" · · Score: 1

    If everybody had this attitude, then it would end up as a continuous volley of telephone tennis. You may choose to ring back when it suits yourself, but by that time, it may not be convenient for the original caller to accept your call.

  4. Re:They don't have fire hoses attached... yet on UK's Public Cameras Listen For Trouble · · Score: 1

    Aynayda Pizaqvick and Malexa Kriest [please contact the airport information desk]

    I would have though Lara Croft was more 1's and 0's than Paris Hilton.

  6. Re:Not good..... on Drugs Eradicate the Need For Sleep · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is RLS related to morning wood?

  7. Re:I wonder if this has to do with BSE on Emissions of Key Greenhouse Gas Stabilize · · Score: 1

    The US might have got rid of cows, but LNG production/use has nowhere near fully ramped up. I'd suspect that there will be significant methane emissions from LNG production/liquifaction/regassification.

  8. Re:What about a driver's license? on UK Police Implement Roadside Fingerprinting Tools · · Score: 1

    I'm not looking forward to point 7, where the whole population has to learn to play oversized violins...

  9. Re:Other Uses on Recycled Tires Could Filter Water · · Score: 2, Informative

    Car tyres are used in cement clinker manufacuture. At a plant I did some work at, they have a conveyor that drops whole tyres into the top end of the rotary clinker kiln. The steel belts and beads in the tyres contribute to the iron requirements of the clinker, and of course the rubber is burned for fuel value.

  10. Re:Like in the movies... on Drivers License Swipes Raise Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Maybe that could be some screenplay to that effect on Neigbours, Home and Away or whatever crappy teen riddled soap airs in the US. It'd add some tension to the drama.

  11. Re:You get what you wanted all along on What's the Problem With US High Schools? · · Score: 1

    Mod third paragraph up! +5 Common Sense

  12. Re:Instructions for superheated plasma fireballs.. on Everyday Objects Placed In a Microwave · · Score: 1

    6. Profit!!

  13. Re:Repair on Global Warming Debunker Debunked · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you would like to provide some references of the disaster to which you allude.

  14. Re:make manufacturers responsible on Taking a Crack At Recycling E-Waste · · Score: 1

    mod parent up!

  15. Re:"word processors"???? on Taking a Crack At Recycling E-Waste · · Score: 1

    A beep? You spring chicken! I always heard a "ding"...

  17. Re:Wow, what a day! on Rumsfeld Stepping Down · · Score: 1

    You might think Rummy is a closet transvestite, but I don't see why you would want to get all smoochie.

  18. Re:Free on Chinese GPS System To Be Offered Free · · Score: 1

    itsatrap

  19. Re:Open Source is not a panacea on How Do You Make a Profit While Using Open Source? · · Score: 1

    I call BS on this comment. Sure you can sell your OSS. You just have to be the best provider of appropriate updates/features, so that any attempt at forking your project is met with failure, or at worst, limited market share.

    Just don't overprice your new product/releases/features to the point which would encourage forkers to compete.

  20. Re:Want to know what it is like for real Chinese? on China - We Don't Censor the Internet · · Score: 1

    That's no different to http://www.defenselink.mil/

  21. Re:Subject on Must We Click To Interact? · · Score: 1

    Well, all I can say is that's just the a result of the current administration. You know; weak references, spinlocks, indirections, budget overflows, coroutine operations and all. Aside from that, I should remind you that you have to paticipate in democracy. To all you apathetic websurfers out there: If you don't bother clicking, then you shouldn't complain about the sites you end up with...

  22. Re:The rise of Minitrue - Doubleplusgood!!! on Pentagon Reveals News Correction Unit · · Score: 1

    You unshould have to use *emphasis* with newspeak.

  23. Re:Aero drag can't be reduced? on Cringely's Shameless Self-Promotion · · Score: 1

    No real reason why the whole caboose couldn't be sealed and placed under vacuum? It doesn't have to be an extreme (-95kPag) vacuum to be worthwhile, either.

  24. Re:definition of expert: on Judge Says RIAA Can't Have Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    The first thing I'd do is to break off pin 23 from the IDE socket.

    OMG! Some NASA bogan has been doing "circle work" with the rover!
