    So they've compressed it to 11. I'd say that's a step forward.

  4. Re:Do your job "editors" on The Germs' Drummer Arrested For Carrying Soap · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Except for two things:

    1) The story only claims that he was arrested, which is still correct, and is not inconsistent with being released.
    2) "This person's situation has been totally resolved" is categorically false. Spending three days in jail for no reason doesn't get resolved when the victim is released, just as an assault isn't resolved because the perp stops attacking someone.

    Perhaps TFA should have mentioned that.

  9. Re:Hmm, on Using the Terahertz Spectrum for Wireless Communication · · Score: 0

    It's actually closer to the far-infrared, but one of the interesting things about the technology is that it bridges a gap in the electromagnetic spectrum between regions traditionally thought to be completely different - electronics and antennas at low frequencies and optics at high frequencies. It's only recently that the technology has opened up the region, so it isn't entirely obvious what to call the radiation.

  10. Re:Oh Great on Smart Sunglasses · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is why they call them "Smart" sunglasses - it's relative to their wearers.

    Only because the general population uses the term "imply" in a different context to mathematicians/statisticians/logicians.

    The original objection to "correlation does not imply causation" is as flawed as objecting to "an astronaut will weigh less on the moon" because one can confuse mass and weight. The definition intended is clear from the context, and the statement is 100% correct. It isn't pedantry to object to the phrase, it's ignorance.
