  4. Finally! on Smart Meters Reveal What You're Watching · · Score: 1, Funny

    I can camouflage my grow op simply by modulating the lights using a photocell aimed at a TV tuned 24/7 to Fox News!

  5. "Cathechism" vs. Truth on Atlas Takes Heat For Melting Glacier Claim · · Score: 1

    "Now glaciologists are left trying to figure out how not understate the importance of the extent glacial ice melt, while at the same time correcting the error."

    Same thing happens when scientists find health benefits from smoking and alcohol consumption. They always hasten to add, "but it's still not a good idea to smoke/drink".

    Same thing with abstinence vs. condoms. Obviously, abstinence is more effective than sex with condoms in preventing unwanted pregnancies/STDs/AIDS. That is truth. But health authorities insist it's better to teach condom use rather abstinence. That's "cathechism".

    Wouldn't that make it a different work?

    Problem: Too cold
    Homo sapiens solution: Put on herbivore fur!

    "Suspicion of intent to conspire"

  13. Sandbagging on World's First Cybernetic Athlete To Compete · · Score: 2

    That, and perhaps the fact that he's no threat - his personal best on any distance (100m, 200m, 400m) is about 2 seconds behind the World Record.

    He might have been sandbagging it all this time. Can you imagine the splash if he actually wins?

    We're still a bunch of savages because we don't even have a good grasp of the past.

  19. Needs some fixing on Understanding the Payoffs From Investing In Space Flight · · Score: 1

    No - that's why you need entrepreneurs risking their own money to fund stuff. Politicians don't want to do anything unless they see the immediate reelection. Accept donations from $SPECIAL_INTEREST and feel instant gratification. Do the right thing, and there might be something in 10-15 years being developed because of it. No, we can't trust the government (who are actually people just like the "public") to fund something that's 10-15 or even more years down the road.
