  1. Re:Ah! on Deathbed Confession Says Aliens Were at Roswell · · Score: 1

    I don't think I would want to be remembered for a lie.

  2. Re:Question about the process... on Giant Microwave Turns Plastic Back to Oil · · Score: 4, Funny

    your brain has absorbed most of the energy

  3. Re:Autism Acceptance Movement? on Autism Reversed in Mice at MIT Lab · · Score: 2, Informative

    Maybe we should have a 'Diabetes Acceptance' movement where we let people with diabetes go into shock as nature intended them too.

    It's a shame there is still a stigma attached to helping people with mental problems....
    BTW I have a son diagnosed with autism and it is heart breaking seeing him struggle with things that are so easy for others.

  4. Re:Not misleading, but narrow scope on Autism Reversed in Mice at MIT Lab · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As far as I know the following abnormality isn't observed in autistic people:

    People with Fragile X Syndrome have more dendritic spines than usual, but each is longer and thinner, and transmits weaker electric signals.

    The only similarity is that fragile X syndrome has autism like symptoms. A bladder infection may give you the same symptoms as prostate cancer, but are entirely different.

  5. Misleading on Autism Reversed in Mice at MIT Lab · · Score: 4, Informative

    They are not sure what causes most forms of autism. The fragile X disease is something in it's own category.

  6. Re:I'm waiting for the next generation on IBM's Blue Gene Runs Continuously At 1 Petaflop · · Score: 1

    I could give a crap about the petaflops, how many laptops tall will it be?

  7. Re:Bush twins on Lawyer Asks RIAA To Investigate Bush Twins · · Score: 1

    Has the RIAA ever litigated a case where a person made a copy of music and gave it to a family member? What does privilege have to do with this?

  8. Re:Subtle IQ differences on Firstborn Get the Brains · · Score: 1

    Yes, it is more important the closer you are to average... the difference between 125 and 127 is much less significant.

  9. Re:Motors in the wheels on The Quest for the Car of the Future · · Score: 1

    Mr. Poo, nobody has cleared up for me if the motor is directly attached to the wheel or by some sort of CV joint. You also should take into account the fact that the motor also takes the place of the brake disk and calipers, not sure what the break even weight is for the whole thing.

  10. Re:Nothing on that list for me... on Best Places To Work In IT · · Score: 1

    The world would be a sucky place if people only did things they were passionate about.

  11. Re:Military commissions on The Life of the Chinese Gold Farmer · · Score: 1

    I don't want to beat the analogy to death, but to me someone farming gold = mechanic, basic grunt work.

  12. Re:Military commissions on The Life of the Chinese Gold Farmer · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of pursuits such as auto racing where money is key to the competition. Does it make such competition less 'valid'? Should drivers be required to machine the entire vehicle themselves?

  13. Re:The Church of Commercialism is far more powerfu on US Can't Meet The "Grand Challenges" of Physics · · Score: 1

    Thank big business clinton for pulling the plug on the SSC, effectively gutting half the US physics departments.

  14. Re:Litmus Test on US Can't Meet The "Grand Challenges" of Physics · · Score: 1

    Yeah,except that person may be your in law or coworker. Who is being the idiot?

  15. Re:Indigenous culture. Time to change? on Weapon Found in Whale Dated From the 1800s · · Score: 1

    Read 'the golden bough' and your love of indigenous cultures will go down a notch. I don't think central americans are missing out on skinning virgins and dancing around in the skin.

  16. Re:Is this okay, Mr. Castro? on Scientists Attempt to Replace Crude Oil With Sugars · · Score: 1
  17. Re:suger based polymers... on Scientists Attempt to Replace Crude Oil With Sugars · · Score: 1

    Wood is made from strings of sugars and cross linked with lignin, but you wouldn't call it plastic. "plastic" has more to do with the physical properties than with a materials origin.

  18. Re:What's the speed of force? on Matter Discovered Traveling at Near Light Speed · · Score: 1

    All you need to do is mention 'Natalie Portman'

  19. Re:When will you learn?! on Plants 'Recognize' Their Siblings · · Score: 1

    'rennet' is actually the lining of a calves stomach. I doubt calves are happy about cheese making.

  20. Re:This isn't federal on Is Videotaping the Police a Felony? · · Score: 1

    It is more significant than that though... if you try to use videotaping as evidence in a civil dispute (such as a divorce) they will not allow the evidence in court... so yes, it does provide protection for us plankton.

  21. Re:Oh please, don't be puerile. on Paul McCartney On Music In the Digital World · · Score: 1

    Times have changed and the music industry has not. That's his point.

  22. Re:Not really very crowded on Riding an Ion Drive to the Asteroid Belt · · Score: 1

    cry me a river.....

  23. Re:Not really very crowded on Riding an Ion Drive to the Asteroid Belt · · Score: 1

    Maybe the parent poster should read up on astronomy instead of recalling scenes star wars.

  24. Re:Or just keep your bits. on Inkjet Photo Print Longevity Lacking · · Score: 1

    Maybe if you were taking decent pictures you would care. I use professional film with german glass and the results are stunning with very little work on my part.

  25. Re:That's all fine and dandy on Controlling Computers With the Brain · · Score: 1

    It is going to suck pretty bad anyway. I can type without thinking about individual letters.... I doubt these interfaces will 'see' words, and thinking about each letter will be a slow process.
