  1. Re:Net economic loss? on Higgs Signal Gains Strength · · Score: 1

    we'd have gravity but no inertia, big problem. the Higg field's effect is huge (admittedly in case our Standard Model is true in that regard)

  2. german has clear future tense on If You're Fat, Broke, and Smoking, Blame Language · · Score: 1

    German has future tense, it's Greek that has complicated situation where tense is not the important part but rather type of action, rather than time

  3. Re:Programming error? on Programming Error Doomed Russian Mars Probe · · Score: 1

    indeed, that's a surefire way to acquire a pile of poor quality chinese-manufactured crap

  4. Re:Net economic loss? on Higgs Signal Gains Strength · · Score: 1

    Now that is funny, since the Higgs field has huge effects on our world and the universe as a whole. Ridiculous to attempt a prediction of time scale from when knowledge of a particle's "signature" will lead to engineering application. What was the time span from Madam Curie's work to commercial nuclear power?

  5. repair that war machine on Fracture Putty Can Heal a Broken Bone In Days · · Score: 1

    love it when the DoD funds medical research. Healing to make our killers more efficient. maybe we can use this stuff for enhanced interrogation techniques too.

    neocon's brains are the same size as anyone else's. They just don't use them much.

    positron emissions have medical application http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron_emission_tomography

    strangely enough, application using one particle, the anti-neutrino, is in the works for reactor monitoring.

    muons might be used to catalyze fusion or reduce lifespan of nuclear waste (with fusion products of catalyzed reaction

    you are foolish, how can we engineer with the universe's components if we don't learn all we can about them?

    this is actually part of the agenda of the megabankers, to turn the U.S. into third world

    if you wish a nuclear rocket launching from the ground, hydrogen is much better fuel. much higher exhaust velocity possible. most nuclear rocket designs spew contamination and neutrons

    Greco? The greeks never used it for greek, though the Latin alphabet did evolve from one particular greek one, the Cumaean.

    you are the ignorant one, hundreds of thousands were killed because of U.S. purposeless action, far exceeding Sadam's body count

    the CEO is not leader of the distro. Mark is still the project sponsor and proclaimed SADFL

    because it is yet another symptom of a terrible, ancient problem in this world of how women are treated

  16. Re:s/First Female/Robyn Bergeron as/ on Red Hat Appoints Robyn Bergeron First Female Fedora Project Leader · · Score: 1

    in fact, you seem oblivious to fact that in over half of planet earth, women are subjected, unliberated, partially or wholly enslaved, abused. Take the middle eastern cultures, latin ones, east asian ones together, the woman's lot largely sucks in those.

  17. Re:s/First Female/Robyn Bergeron as/ on Red Hat Appoints Robyn Bergeron First Female Fedora Project Leader · · Score: 1

    you are wrong because our society hasn't evolved to that point yet. there are hardly any women in open source leadership at all (a bad thing). it IS news, she may be the first female leader of a linux distro (has that happened to BSD yet)? very very newsworthy. very very surprising. unheard of. unprecedented.

  18. Re:All about energy on Water Droplets In Orbit On the International Space Station · · Score: 1

    a properly engineered modern nuclear reactor can split water into hydrogen and oxygen, and can burn all of its uranium into short lived isotopes. we have centuries of thorium supply. are you saying we have a shortage of water in the ocean?

  19. Re:All about energy on Water Droplets In Orbit On the International Space Station · · Score: 1

    nonsense, a reactor could heat a fuel that doesn't become activated (as rad safety officers at nuke plant use the word) and everything would be no more dangerous than a normal launch.

    ha! Windows *doesn't* run on every personal computer, only those with x86 compatible processor. Plenty of *real* operating systems are portable. Windows doesn't have the support of IT professional in existence, plenty of IT people deal only with other platforms, like me. Outlook plus Windows stack has been responsible for billions of dollars in lost time and data from being a malware portal. It is such a farce that so many pretend that it is a real business or enterprise grade operating system.

    Part of my living has been throwing the wintel PC out of big operations, plenty of executives are sick of it.

    you are completely wrong. IT is 97% male. Famous Open Source project leadership is 99.9% male. It IS news, what other distro has woman leading? Answer me that question first, anyone who replies to me.
