  1. Re:Sperm isn't the fuel. ATP is. on Sperm Could Power Nanobots · · Score: 0

    perhaps its not the fuel, ATP, but the flagellum itself, the converter the energetic phosphate bonds to mechanical motion, that the researchers are interested in? as nature often is, it could be far superior to the conversion strategies we humans have.

    What kind of regulatory committee isn't required to disclose exactly what it's regulating? MADNESS!

    the big cell providers will either get with the wi-fi program or die thrashing in nickel-and-dime death-throes.

  4. Re:What the attraction of Betas? on Halo 3 Beta Sign Up Starts Dec. 4th · · Score: 0

    Yeah, i know i would sure hate playing what will certainly be among the most popular videogames of the time for free. Terrible burden, that.

  5. Re:Black holes on World's Largest Atom Smasher Nears Completion · · Score: 0

    IANATPRPC (I am not a theorhetical physicist researching particle collisions, OBVIOUSLY), but arent black holes super massive? could two particles colliding create something with enough mass to collapse into a singularity and draw things into it? admittedly, the energies are high, but is that enough? my meager understanding of physics: in fission, a larger atom is split by a neutron, breaking the strong nuclear force bonds of the neutrons, and the results are less massive than before, but there is an energy burst... can you make the particles vastly more massive with the the scads of energy these collisions create?

  6. Re:Dawkins on Paypal Co-Founder Backs Anti-Aging Research Prize · · Score: 0

    if there were some mutant strain of mouse that had a dispropotionately long lifespan compared to his peers, free from the negative consequenecs of age, would (s)he not reproduce far more offspring bearing his/her genes than the others, over time? it would create stability in an otherwise turbid and everchanging gene pool. its children that had that ability would also have many litters over time, and the ones that lived longer would pass their longevity genes on...

    from the standpoint of reproduction being a means to pass on an individuals genes, longevity makes evolutionary sense. i suppose this implies that evolution is not tailored to the individual. evolution made a mistake in creating humanity, however. we are the only species on this planet capable of directing our own evolution; it seems to have planted the seeds of its own obsolescence.

  7. Mandatory Sound Effect? on Bionic Arm Provides Hope for Amputees · · Score: 0

    They should install a force sensor that plays that 6 million dollar man "shik-shik-shik-shik-shik" every time she does something near the limits of it's capacity.

  8. mouse wheel/middle mouse button? on Left Sided Windows Scrollbars? · · Score: 0

    It doesn't do anything about lefty-snubbing, but it seems a handy workaround...

  9. well, obviously on LiveJournal XSS Security Challenge · · Score: 0

    one major vulnerability is it's location; based in the corporeal world, all an enterprising ne'er-do-well would have to do is instigate fire, flood, hurricane, volcano, meteor or godzilla-related damage. i'll take my free permanent account whenever you're ready.

  10. wondersnack powers, activate. on Keyboards Are Disgusting · · Score: 1, Insightful

    good thing us geeks are protected from the teeming microbial masses by a thin film of antibacterial (aka cool ranch) dorito shavings and cheeto sprinklin's that reside in our keyboards.

    I am glad all 12 people who need this can use it. Gawd Bless the internet.

  12. Re:I point the world to on Is There a Future for Indie Games? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Rag Doll Kung Fu is the indie game cream-dream. A fine piece of work that is fantastic without a six figure budget. Valve knows what's up; 15 bucks is a good price for a game that may not have the bells, whistles and intricacy of the big game companies, but is still a lot of fun. All hail the ever-fertile steam-niggurath and her thousand young!
