  2. Re:Impressive on Magazine Photos Fool Age-verification Cameras · · Score: 1

    It is similar to airline security mentality -- make everything secure by installing a fancy machine. If it is sufficiently expensive, it must be effective.

    "Ah, I see you have the machine that goes 'DING'"

  4. Re:Critics on Transportation Bill Sets Aside $45 Million For MagLev Train · · Score: 1

    The actual station will be about 2 miles east of Disneyland, which is 35 miles south-east of Downtown Los Angeles. That area is nearly centrally located to the Southern California region with 40 miles to Southern Orange county, the Inland Empire, and Los Angeles. That station is currently served by two passenger train services: The Metrolink; and Amtrak's Coast Starlight, which connects from San Luis Obispo to San Diego.

  10. So... on $1/Gallon "Green Gasoline" In Sight · · Score: 1

    I'm no economist, but if it's going to be $1/gallon at a 100% efficiency, and it's only at around 50% effienct, wouldn't that make it almost $2/gallon? That is still less than the market prices we have now.

  19. Re:How is this different than a food chemist? on Chefs As Chemists · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Food scientist are the people who make sure that all the food or product come to you are the same. Think McDonalds and how it is the same, no matter where in the world you are. The chefs who are using chemestry to add to their foods are just doing it for show and taste.

    Remember, cooking is an art, baking is a science.

    Thieves almost never search children bedrooms or kitchens for these kind of items.

    Those are good places but there are the pitfalls. There are crumbs, oils, soaps and water in the kitchen. In the kids bedroom, I would be horrified if my child showed me how strong his magnets are with the HDD.

  25. Re:All Monopoly = Bad on How SBC (AT&T) Pillaged South Africa's Economy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That is a very broad argument in saying that all monopolies are bad. There are times when you have to have a monopoly such as the electricity you're getting or your local phone service (excluding VoIP, not everybody has broadband). You are correct in saying that strong regulation is needed. Without the regulation, prices would be much higher.
