  1. Re:just taking care to take care. on Anti-Terrorism and the Death of the Chemistry Set · · Score: 2, Funny

    Let's elect men and women, not parties. Add instant-runoff voting, and we could actually start to get decent candidates.

    I vote for parties. With kegs and scantily clad women.

    You know that a lot of people go swimming in shark-infested waters all the time and you can count the number of annual shark attacks with your fingers.

    Sharks took my fingers you insensitive clod!

  4. Re:Wikipedia-killer of the month? on Wikipedia Begets Veropedia · · Score: 1

    Actually after a little data collection, it became aparent(sp?) that a similar slashvertisement occurs every 32.36 days. While that means one doesn't fall on every month, most months do have one.

    Well you have my vote. I'd help you campaing but that would violate your leave me the hell alone motto...

    LIES you must have purchased the low id from a farmer on ebay. Unless /. really has changed that much over the years...

  8. Re:Hard facts first on Olin College — Re-Engineering Engineering · · Score: 1

    Well if taught properly, in theory, if given F=ma they could derive aerodynamics without being taught proper aero. It just means doing stuff that's already been done... I guess they also would need to have been taught all that eng math stuff though.

  9. Re:Obiviously Benign on MIT Student Arrested For Wearing 'Tech Art' Shirt At Airport · · Score: 1

    but but that would be to scary to think about. It also would be harder to waste federal money to deal with.

  10. Re:"Yeah, those suspicious e-lectronics". on MIT Student Arrested For Wearing 'Tech Art' Shirt At Airport · · Score: 1

    You forget the terrorists are foreigners, so they must be stupid and backwards! We're trying to stop the retarded terrorists not the ones that use forethought. Those you have to at least use intelligent people working hard to stop, not rent-a-cops.

    ps I love you TSA. Please don't cavity search me next time I have to fly.

    I would rather side with the police and have the girl arrested (or shot if needed) and avoid possible loss of life then err on the side of "oh, well maybe its not a bomb...

    What the F*** are you smoking?! You'd rather an innocent, if a little eccentric, person get shot, on the off chance that maybe she was a retarded terrorist that was trying to attract attention and talk with the police that would kill a few other people?

    Why not "Apple just gave a lot of people much more incentive to buy something besides an ipod!?
    Maybe one that just shows up as a removable drive or is media player independent or doesn't demand you use window or OSX.

  16. Re:Could age be a factor? on Brain Differences In Liberals and Conservatives · · Score: 1

    Liberals drive beat up Volkswagen buses that leak oil and break down every few hundred miles.
    The point of TFA though is that they repaint their VW buses frequently and should still be able to find them.

  21. Re:The real problem: Getting NASA off their asses. on New Way of Extending Satellite Life Saves Millions · · Score: 1

    They do do that some, but when I've seen it, it was for long term "storage". Normally if you are slewing around antenna and arrays then you're adding more momentum. Possibly along an axis that is more difficult to dump momentum from.
    That said they could be really really dense too on that project. Sometime you ask wouldn't it be easier to do it one way, but when you look into it you realize wow these guys are smart that they even thought of why you don't want to do it that way. Then other times there just isn't a why they do it the dumb way.

    Till bubbles get involved. When the tanks are full the tubes are full of fluid and equalize the fuel fine but at end of life your fuel can just be a big blob floating in the middle of the tank.

  23. Re:Wow! What an innovative idea! on New Way of Extending Satellite Life Saves Millions · · Score: 1

    I think it's because you don't know how much is liquid and how much is gas. And you'd probably need more than one temp sensor to get an accurate idea of what's going on.

    Assuming you man one fuel and one oxidizer tank not just one tank (boom!), redundancy.
    Oh and more redundancy.
    And possibly a little backup.

    I really wanted to read you comment cause it was modded insightful, but I started to read it and realized I wanted to watch tv. After a scubs rerun I remembered what I was doing, started reading again and really had to play some peggle. I really wanted to read it so I came back and completely forgot what I was doing.
    So in true /. fashion I'll just post with out reading the article. BLAME M$!!!!111
