  1. Re:How about Chinese Counterfeit goods? on eBay Delisting All Auctions for Virtual Property · · Score: 1

    Your still getting f*cked. Why is this okay?

  2. Re:How about Chinese Counterfeit goods? on eBay Delisting All Auctions for Virtual Property · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Go check out "gibson les paul guitar" on ebay. They are selling guitars that are complete fakes as genuine. I have heard other horror stories on forums about guitars with thin veneer over chipboard and things like that. Why does ebay allow this?

  3. How about Chinese Counterfeit goods? on eBay Delisting All Auctions for Virtual Property · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Good to see they are pulling virtual goods, how about the real junk coming from China (this has been a real problem, especially with things like musical instruments)

  4. Ideas for sources on Professors To Ban Students From Citing Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia is certainly a good place to get ideas for sources, but a source itself? It may have changed by the time you submit your paper! How do you even accurately cite it?

  5. Re:Thermite in luggage probably won't work on Using Radio Waves to Detect Explosives · · Score: 1

    I hate to break it to you but thermite does not need oxygen to burn.. It will just melt through the suitcases and then the fuselage....

  6. Re:How does this compare to DNA bit density? on Scientists Unveil Most Dense Memory Circuit Ever Made · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    and then "Helper T cells, (Th cells) are the "middlemen" of the adaptive immune system. Once activated, they divide rapidly and secrete small proteins called cytokines that regulate or "help" the immune response."

    death by TFA!

  7. Re:How does this compare to DNA bit density? on Scientists Unveil Most Dense Memory Circuit Ever Made · · Score: 0, Troll

    From TFA: (first line) "All T cells originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow."

  8. Re:How does this compare to DNA bit density? on Scientists Unveil Most Dense Memory Circuit Ever Made · · Score: 0, Troll

    White blood cells are formed within the bones from stem cells. They do not replicate DNA.

  9. Re:Don't they want string theory to succeed? on String Theory Put to the Test · · Score: 1

    String theory has wasted a tremendous amount of grant dollars and mind share over the years. It has pretty much paralyzed the physics department at Princeton.

  10. Re:Star Wars, Episode 7... on Walking Molecule Now Carries Packages · · Score: 1

    Good one : )

  11. Re:eh? on RFID Tattoo for Tracking Cattle and Humans · · Score: 1

    Somehow I think this is useless for cows, it seems easier to stick a rfid inside the cow with a needle vs shaving a large area and tattooing them. I had my dog chipped and it was a matter of seconds.

  12. Re:Shoot the messenger on MySpace Sued by Families of Online Predator Victims · · Score: 1

    Pretty much anywhere in the 'rust belt'

  13. Re:Options on Largest Ever Online Robbery Hits Swedish Bank · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Note that I said "helps". There is no one method to secure a computer or transaction, only improvements.

  14. Re:Options on Largest Ever Online Robbery Hits Swedish Bank · · Score: 1

    You never type in the secret because this is your 'regular' ip.

  15. Re:Options on Largest Ever Online Robbery Hits Swedish Bank · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My bank now demands additional secrets if I try to log in from an IP that is different than the usual one. A little inconvenient but i am sure it helps.

  16. Re:Cost savings still a long ways away on Solar Power Eliminates Utility Bills in U.S. Home · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The cost is actually much higher, you should calculate what the value of that 100,000 dollars would be after it was in a solid investment for 25 years.

  17. Re:At $500,000... How long to pay back the cost? on Solar Power Eliminates Utility Bills in U.S. Home · · Score: 1

    The smart thing to do would have a bunch of homeowners pool their resources, distribute the solar cells and then put the hydrogen storage/generation plant in one spot. The cost and failure rate would be significantly reduced.

  18. Re:100M IE7 downloads on After 100M IE7 Downloads, Firefox Still Gaining · · Score: 1

    Would corporate pushes be part of the statistic? I doubt most corporations rely on 'automatic update' in their network....

  19. Re:I've seen similar ~3 years ago on Fighting Porn Vs. Ruining Innocent Lives · · Score: 1

    How many times have you done a bulk burn of a directory and you werent sure of all the comments? There isn't enough info here to tell if the CDs were burned with this porn intentionally.

  20. Its already been done.... on "Series of Tubes" Metaphor Implemented · · Score: 1

    You can see this metaphor explored in the movie Brazil, made in 1985....

  21. Re:Yes. on Is A Bad Attitude Damaging The IT Profession? · · Score: 1

    I have told people dozens of times 'to just mess with it' and the bulb never goes on.

  22. Re:I'd say... on New Line And Jackson - Irreconcilable Differences · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In all fairness trying to do 'true accounting' on a three movie, billion dollar series production, merchandising, etc etc. must be a frigging nightmare.

  23. Re:terrorists??!? on Expensive U.S. Spy Satellite Not Working · · Score: 1

    Well it is big news to business, I am guessing that the company that built it and the company that insured it are a little upset right now.

  24. Re:Touchy subject and legal ramifications on Do You Tell a Job Candidate How Badly They Did? · · Score: 1

    95% of the time we turn down applicants because their resume did not match their skills (ie dishonest). I am certainly not going to help polish their lies.

  25. Re:Why was thought a good material in the first pl on NMR Shows That Nuclear Storage Degrades · · Score: 1

    I am not sure what this has to do with alpha radiation but zirconium has been proposed as a material in fusion reactors as it is resistant to neutron embrittlement.
