  1. Re:Damned if you do, damned if you don't on Labs Compete to Build New Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    i believe the launch vehicle for most are still b-2 stealth bombers. i'm not sure how many are actually ICBMs.

  2. Re:Meh. on Oklahoma 'Games As Porn' Bill Now Law · · Score: 1

    unconstitutional by the US Constitution or their state constitution? I'm not sure what constitutional clause it violates and since it's a state law, I don't think it has any real opposition when it comes to the US Constitution.

  3. Re:Cohen's reasoning: on BitTorrent's Bram Cohen against Network Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Why is legislation necessary? There have been services around that make you pay per kilobyte, what happens? People switch away from them to the ISPs that don't offer such restrictions. People won't pay for things that don't provide enough perceived worth. It's not the federal government's place to mandate it.

  4. Re:Please. Stop with the state-run wireless networ on Free Nationwide Wireless Internet Access? · · Score: 1

    what if three different finalists all are successful, just some are better than others? just because there is one winner doesn't mean the runners up are failures.

  8. Re:glasspane on Cheap, Small LED or LCD Touch Sensitive Screens? · · Score: 2, Informative

    to extend upon this, you want to make sure that when the pane is pushed down, it doesn't actually touch the screen. i'm sure there is a way to mount it so when fully depressed it is barely above the screen.

  9. Re:A cheap way to do it on Cheap, Small LED or LCD Touch Sensitive Screens? · · Score: 1

    i'm going to have to say it's proably a bad idea to be putting force on the actual lcd screen itself if you're going with lcd. after a couple of months of finger pressure on the lcd, you're probably going to start showing up marks or dead pixels. this method puts too much stress on the lcd.

  10. glasspane on Cheap, Small LED or LCD Touch Sensitive Screens? · · Score: 3, Informative

    the cheapest way to do this is to probably have a small (plexi)glass pane over the cheapest display you can find and have the glass pane be resting on a bump switch(sensor) that has enough tension to hold the glass up but will register when it is touched.

  11. let's open some bank accounts on Government-Aided Phishing · · Score: 2, Insightful

  16. News Agencies on Possible Breakthrough for AIDS Cure · · Score: 1

    news agencies once again promote illiteracy. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Why would you need to say HIV/AIDS virus??

  17. spiderman 2 on China to Build World's First "Artificial Sun" · · Score: 0, Redundant

    didn't anyone watch spiderman 2? trying to create artificial suns can only result in fusing robotic arms to your spine!
