  3. sheep in the metaphorical sense... on Fracture Putty Can Heal a Broken Bone In Days · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh, you mean they literally tested it on sheep. They weren't referencing the people who volunteered for testing?

    has waxed over the years

  5. Re:Joking about this is the height of stupidity. on DHS Sends Tourists Home Over Twitter Jokes · · Score: 1

    so if I tweet some crazy shit to someone else's twitter account just as they board a plane to the US...they're going to end up ass raped by some Mexicans drug dealers and sent packing on a plane back home. (and by "packing" I don't mean carrying a gun in the US sense, but "packing" as in putting your shit in a bag)

  8. Re:Bubble? on Apple Announces Most Profitable Quarter in History · · Score: 1

    Even more so, the rate of suicides at Foxconn is actually LOWER than the average suicide rate among Americans workers! Amazing.

  9. Re:Forget PR on Air Force Says Iran Didn't Down Drone · · Score: 1

    back then we had laws that made sense?

  10. reason for 386/486 processors... on Air Force Says Iran Didn't Down Drone · · Score: 1

    I've heard that some applications prefer older processors like 386/486 CPUs because they are more reliable/stable and less immune to radiation from space/atmosphere...mostly due to their larger circuit size.

  11. Re:Forget PR on Air Force Says Iran Didn't Down Drone · · Score: 1

    The plane was $6 million.

  12. integrate it into my shower... on Nano-Scale Terahertz Antenna May Make Tricorders Real · · Score: 2

    Wake up, get your morning coffee, then into the shower for your morning rinse and medical scan.

  13. asian all the way down.... on US Losing R&D Dominance To Asia? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And most of that 4% in the US is Asian anyways. Just hope we can keep them here in the US after graduation instead of shipping them back to China because our fucked up immigration policy.

  14. meanwhile in China on Fake IPad 2s Made of Clay Sold At Canadian Stores · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile in China, as many as 10 people buying modeling clay were outraged to find iPad instead of the clay they purchased. They are further outraged by the fact that Art stores do not accept returns on clay.

  15. geniuses... on Teens Share Passwords As a Form of Intimacy · · Score: 1

    Well, it's true, I know everything, except geniuses. Never been able to get close with a genius.

    use protection.....password protection with your partner

  17. Acheivement "Take out Nuke Development Capability" on Pentagon To Crowdsource Weapons Software Testing · · Score: 1

    I think they will be most interested in the novel ways in which people leverage different technologies and weapons that are available to them in the game to get one up on their enemies. They could even mock up future tech ideas to see how people use them in the game to determine if they are worth funding. Stats from the game can be leveraged to improve battle doctrine or tactical training scenarios.

  18. farmville... on Pentagon To Crowdsource Weapons Software Testing · · Score: 2

    The DoD will soon be partnering with Zygna to test weapons that placate the masses and keep them occupied and off the streets rather than trying to overthrow our friendly dictatorial regimes.

  19. you only think its a game on Pentagon To Crowdsource Weapons Software Testing · · Score: 1

    You only think its a game, until you try to log off in mid battle, and some men in black show up at your basement abode and insist that complete the mission. Ender's Game, anyone?

  20. top 1% on Wikipedia Still Set For Full Blackout Wednesday · · Score: 1

    I believe that we should work to elevate all Americans into the top 1%.
    None of us should have to live in the lower 99%!! :)

  21. Re:i'll do my own tests on Notes On Reducing Firefox's Memory Consumption · · Score: 1

    The internet's for porn. (Avenue Q reference)

  22. Re:Give us more options on Notes On Reducing Firefox's Memory Consumption · · Score: 2

    Damn it. I want my memory used! I didn't buy 16GB to have it just sit around inside my machine. What do I care about the details?! Bring it on Firefox!

  23. innovate their way out on Israel Faces Escalating Cyberwar · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As Israel has always done, and must always do, they will innovate their way out of the situation. Reducing the threat they face, while making a name for themselves in the cyber security market and profiting immensely.

  24. stock exchange on Israel Faces Escalating Cyberwar · · Score: 1

    They took down the stock exchange. That has real effects. It causes panic and costs money, which in turn forces compromises elsewhere. It's not always so easy to draw a clear line b/w virtual and real world.

  25. clearance on Israel Faces Escalating Cyberwar · · Score: 1

    It's more than just passing an investigation. You also forfeit some of your rights as a citizen. Limits are placed on your right to freedom of speech, your expectations of privacy, and you agree that you can receive jail time for violating aspects of your clearance. Still worth the cost for many, but it's something to keep in mind.
