since when is something that's bigger than a penny considered micro? i understand calling the paper nanopaper, because it's made out of nanofibers, but what's with the term 'microcup'?
i know, i'm pretty sure it's been proven and the research published in peer reviewed journals that the more anyone posts on slashdot the lower the person's IQ becomes.
yeh seriously, how would the three laws have helped if the 'robot' didn't have advanced enough eyes along with powerful enough image processing to know that a human was getting close to it and stepping in its way? "don't kill a human, work work work, don't kill a human. hmm what was that? oh well. work work work."
yes there is a point when a being comes into existence. it is when two gametes combine and form a whole. how do you not understand that? i didn't avoid the question, i already said that it's never ok to kill a human.
"The fact that you care about the non-feeling one over the feeling one " again WHEN THE FUCK DID I SAY ANYTHING ABOUT A SLUG OR ANY OTHER ORGANISM YOU BRAINDEAD IDIOT? the fact that you can see it's wrong to kill a slug but not a human is a tell-tale sign that something has gone drastically wrong in your reasoning.
no i'm not creating an arbitrary point. i am pointing out a logical point that exist regardless of my thoughts
no i am using genetics simply to point out when an organism is created from it's parents, not basing it on genetics, only using them as proof of the living organism's uniqueness from its parents and therefore a unique existence.
just because you say you didn't exist doesn't somehow mean you didn't. what was that mass of cells before it had a brain? a toad? or maybe a rock? fuck you're an idiot. a skin cell is A FUCKING PART OF YOU, and as a part is not considered the whole. a zygote does not have parts, it IS THE WHOLE. i'm not saying a zygote is a human because it is a whole cell containing 46 chromosomes. i'm saying it's human because if you trace the origins of a human the zygote is the farthest you can go with it still being that human being.
another made up argument.. WHEN THE FUCK did i say anything about pain? either killing is wrong or it isn't. and how is intelligence different from "functional capacity". are you saying it's okay to just randomly kill a rabbit, or a dog? no, some people have moral objections to killing because they find it wrong. others, like you i'm assuming, are just scared of dying and so try to agree with other scared people to not kill hoping that it will possibly prevent you from being randomly killed because you're so afraid of your own mortality that you don't want to have to think about it, and others fighting and killing each other with you being at risk would constantly remind you of it. see you're making an arbitrary destinction that includes you in the "un-killable" group. it's just like someone saying it's ok to kill jews because they're not really people, or blacks, because they're not really people. who says those things? people who aren't jews and people who aren't black. and yes i'm comparing you do the idiocy of racism.
but i can see no matter what i say you will not change your mind, and there is no fucking way you can convince me that killing babies is right so long as they're not "real people", so this conversation is all for naught
holy fucking shit when did i say anything about slugs? and you've completely missed the point, i'm saying it's not okay to kill humans, and the earliest point you can call something a human is when they first come into existence.
you can't just make up a point at which killing something is okay you psychopathic sicko. i wasn't basing it on genetics but at the point when a human first exists. if it's okay to kill something because you arbitrarily decide it's more stupid than you are, why hasn't someone killed you yet? i really hope someone fucking slits your throat you sick fuck
bullshit, you can't just make up arbitrary points at which killing someone is ok. it's murder after the organism begins existence as a complete human cell with 46 chromosomes
wait, she's big enough to use a computer, and old enough to have her own computer, but somehow too small to learn how to type? we had typing in like 3rd grade, so i'm assuming "too small" would mean even younger than that. your kid has her own computer and she's not even in 2nd-3rd grade and has hands that can be used to make nanomachines? that just seems weird
since when did slashdot get a language filter? "damn" wait, no they didn't. what the hell? don't censor yourself, it's wrong and annoying. this is the internet, you can cuss here. and if you don't want to because you find it too vulgar, then just don't.
you're a fucking retard, this is the same thing as people searching for new drugs in the rain forest. oh but you can use that as a slogan to save the rain forest! oh don't destroy the cure for cancer and aids is in there! but then people start looking in the ocean, which is even larger and more diverse, and yet you scream bloody murder? fuck you
does that not make any sense to anyone else? absorb 900 times its own volume? absorb? what?? should that be adsorb or maybe they mean 900 atoms of hydrogen or something? or does it compress the hydrogen and does actually absorb it and they mean '900 times' is the uncompressed hydrogen volume vs. the palladium volume. are there any sources for that statement or is it just kind of there.
i'm assuming this thing only takes a picture and compares it with pictures taken at the same place with other nights. sure earth moves through space in the matter of 3 days so the stars would seem to move in those 3 days but i doubt enough for the camera to pick up even if the satellite is geostationary and provides a point of reference. though i guess it might show up in more than one picture which would give it away. so how'd he come up with the 3 day orbit? would that really make it stationary relative to the "moving" of the stars and prevent it from being in more than one picture? or was he simply trying to mean that his satellite wouldn't be in any of the pictures because it would be out of the picture while in orbit over another part of the earth? shouldn't that be more like a 4-5 day orbit then?
of course all this is easily avoided by just putting it in a geostationary orbit on the other side of the planet
shouldn't that be ONE day orbit. you're talking about geosynchronous right? three day orbit would lag behind because it would be orbiting more slowly than the earth is rotating. three days to go once around the world? that's a pretty slow moving satellite
Slashdot Mirror
what the fuck? wow, do you have my username saved in your favorites so you can mod me down when you get points? fuck off, pussy
the ipod nano is a product name, not just something in an article about cups made out of a new material like 'microcups' is.
p.s. you used a double negative...
that's the craziest spelling of 'budget' i've ever seen

wtf parent gets +5 funny and i get offtopic? fuck you in your fucking face you motherfucking fuckers
not to mention they called it Red, JR too. that's some nice family relations it's got going on there..

that is murder
right, like he said, abortion
"high school" vs "starting in Grade 4"
you can't really compare those. everybody learns any language better if they start as a little kid
and what certain sitting position would that be?

whoa whoa obese with twig-like limbs? seeing a fat person is horrible enough, i hope i never have to see such a freak of nature like you've described

i'm going to kill you in your sleep, rawr.
the key? the key of the twilight? what are you talking about you insane person.
