  1. Re:some sort of guided explosive device on Ask Slashdot: What Would Real Space Combat Look Like? · · Score: 1

    fighters? the only thing I need to ruin your "battlestar" is a cloud of ball bearings or lead pellets going at the "wrong" velocity (wrong for you).

    the brain itself doesn't have pain sensors, if the front half of the brain was missing there probably was no pain at all, just interesting stem and hind brain reaction. on the other hand, if you merely shot the face off.....

  3. Re:Enough Problems Already... on Russian Scientists Revive Plant From 30,000-Year-Old Seeds · · Score: 1

    yeah, that stuff just doesn't have the quite the zing of something that died properly in agony spouting blood. I think they should rectify that by putting brains, nerves, ciculatory and endocrine systems from stem cells into that meat.

    practice and practice with a high powered rifle, then hunt your own meat with head shots. no suffering, no processing, no preservatives.

    and if they don't get it, the company will fail or be acquired. the executives will go on to get high paying jobs elsewhere, their failures spun into tremendous success stories. haha, seen that time and again.

    oh, how many 7 digit base plus 2 digit exponent floating point operations a second can your brain do? 0.01? the brain isn't a digital computer, rather some kind of funky kludgy signal processing system. it's not a question of less or more power, rather a different kind of power.

  13. Re:Should we? on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 1

    hysterical rubbish. The population of the earth will peak in less than 70 years, at less than 8.5 billion then decline. Your food article notes less than 60% of arable land is used for agriculture. problem solved, eh? (no shortage of phosporous either, if we have to make phosphates)

    no shortage of energy on this world. no shortage of scrubland for biofuel, and no shortage of hydrocarbons either with centuries of coal supply. centuries of thorium for nuclear power. or we could put solar collectors on a few hundred square miles of desert.

    in short, urban legend that "we're running out of resources". the crust of the earth is very thick and we've just scratched the surface.

  14. Re:You know... on Aderall Or Nothing: Anatomy of the Great Amphetamine Drought · · Score: 3, Funny

    and we had no energy before Carter made the DOE. we had to lie around in the dark because we didn't even have enough energy to stand up.

  15. Re:Distributing someone else's work is NOT a right on Library.nu and Ifile.it Shut Down · · Score: 1

    actually, only because of copyright law of a particular country or group of countries can I not distribute someone else's work. what if the United States falls? what if the UK does? then there is no restriction whatsoever. You seem to think that a bunch of (corrupt, power and money grubbing) guys can write something on paper (a law), and it is some universal god-empowered scripture. news for you, this business of "copyright" and "piracy" is totally an artificial construct of some nations.

  16. Re:is this truly a recyclable material? on A Paper Alloy To Replace Plastic Cases · · Score: 1

    your hick town anecdotal story is irrelevant. recycling steel saves 75 percent of energy of new, aluminum 90 percent. sure, reuse is better but recycling much better than scrapping. anyway, there is no shortage of energy on planet earth, quit believing the hype of those with agenda.

    but the gnome3 tards aren't old farts. I'm an old fart and I love my many windows (half of them for command line work) and well designed GUI. The gnomic tards are just working in a vacuum, arrogant pricks trying to ram a stupid and foolish notion of work flow down other's throats.
