  1. Re:Hahahaha. on Breathalyzer Source Code Ruling Upheld · · Score: 1

    False analogy. Exculpatory evidence the Breathalizer was not.

    If you thought you were not drunk. The machine said you were and no one was really sure how the machine worked I would like an expert to check in to the validity of the machine. Its florida they breathilizer isnt the ONLY source for a conviction. I you Failed the sobriety test and the breathilizer they can get you on the sobriety(so long as you dont suffer from a medical conditon). If you pass the sobriety and fail the breathilizer I would want my lawyers to look into the machine too.

  2. He will be missed on Ricardo Montalban Dead At 88 · · Score: 1

    I loved him as Khan Enjoyed him as Mr Roarke BArely remember him in the Apes movie I also liked him as Senor Senoir Sr from Kim Possible. Looked at his IMDB entry...holy cow he worked longer then most people LIVE.

  3. Re:Potato Chips on a Sub on Future Astronauts May Survive On Eating Silkworms · · Score: 1

    I know this slashdot but the point of this was Silkworm has more nutrients then Other meats.

    SO 1kg of chicken(pressed) has less value then 1kg of Silkworm

  4. Re:The judge's statement on Halo 3 Criticized In Murder Conviction · · Score: 1

    Your post covers it. He was framing his father for the crime. Like hell he didnt know what he did was wrong and that death wasnt permanent.

    If he had just shot his dad on a rampage I culd see a link to games but he killed his mother then shot his dad in the head and then put the gun in his dads hand. Not too many video games have the Frame another person component.

    The Judge is a moron.

  5. Wait on A Peek At DHS's Files On You · · Score: 1

  10. for the record on Karl Rove's IT Guru Dies In Small Plane Crash · · Score: 1

    Amelia Earhart disappeared under some strange circumstances. Maybe se was in the World Record Setter Protection Program.

  11. interesting on Space Is Just a Little Bit Closer Than Expected · · Score: 5, Funny

    Thats a pretty wide margin of error.

    Things in the Ionosphere can be closer then they appear.

  12. so linear on The RIAA's Rocky Road Ahead · · Score: 4, Funny

    Only if you listen to 1 song at a time.
    the trick is play 500 songs at 4x speed...then you are done in in like 55 years
    or if you will 4 songs at 500X speed.

  13. Get your arms off my Overthruster on Octopuses Have No Personalities and Enjoy HDTV · · Score: 1

    I believe all the octopuses would be named John

  15. Re:Global Warming Heretics on Study Says Cosmic Rays Do Not Explain Global Warming · · Score: 1

    I am of 2 minds.
    1. Right wing Scaremongering works. See- Iraq War, War on Drugs, Racism, Prop 8, The Great Border Wall, "Their gonna Take our GUNS!!", Putin rears his head, Commies!.
    For some reason Left wing scare mongering doesnt work except maybe "think of the children" which is really over used by both sides. I am sure someone can figure this out for me.

    2. Objective science exists. It just hard for the media and layperson to understand. Example from IPCC report which is chock full of- Increasing concentrations of the long-lived greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide
    (N2O), halocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6); hereinafter
    LLGHGs) have led to a combined RF of +2.63 [±0.26] W m-2.
    Their RF has a high level of scientific understanding. The 9%
    increase in this RF since the TAR is the result of concentration
    changes since 1998.- and i understand that but there is alot in that paper that I have to read with dictionary in hand.

    Fact is most climate scientists are in agreement that the world is getting warmer. Most of those believe humankind is the reason(some vary on how big a reason). Being skeptical is good but ignoring evidence is bad.

    Unless that car was 3000' long. Truly to achieve greatness you must dream big.

  17. I like this idea on Ants Used For Mind-Controlled Robotic Limbs · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hope they use Army ants or Fire ants. Robots that destroy everyting in their path or squirt acid cocktails would freaking rock. THe first 2 prosthetics available sould be Mandibles and stingers. then they can branch out into other insectoid robot prosthetics like Pinchers, Scorpion tails and wings. I forsee a bold new future.

  18. Red Dwarf VR on Microsoft Plans VR Simulation of Everything? · · Score: 1

    one step closer to BTL addicts.

    I have also seen such events, but conversely I have seen the opposite
    Little girls playing with cars, trucks what not and little boys playing with barbies and toy houses. So my Anecdotal Evidence trumps yours.

  23. Alternatively on FCC Considering Free Internet For USA · · Score: 1

    Private companies do a great job of botching things up too.
    Our Roads are made by Private companies(though funded by taxes).
    Our military is supported by consultants and companies like Halliburton.
    Mail- DOnt know about you but i get my mail. Even when I move it finds me.
    Companies dont seem to be that much more efficent.

    Truth is the Government does Ok with stuff that is well considered and regulated.
    Could it be streamlined? Sure. I will say this though as much as I distrust the Government I can honestly say I trust Corporations alot less.

  24. Re:Silly nonsense on Ethical Killing Machines · · Score: 1

    I wouldnt ask that question to someone who believes Vietnam was lost because we didnt use maximum force. They usually call for bigger bombs and massive numbers of troops without any understanding of the conflict.

    War never changes.
