    It's still a little premature. Wait until he starts purchasing it and checks off the list.

  3. Re:Arrested for knowledge? WTF? - *No for intent* on Man Who Downloaded Bomb Recipes Jailed For 2 Years · · Score: 1

    That's when you watch him and track his purchases. Wait until he has the components, and then arrest him BEFORE he builds it... or just after.

  4. Re:Journalist != scientist on Graphene Membranes Superpermeable to Water · · Score: 1

    But this doesn't help us with desalination unless we do something like have a solar collector to cause evaporation... not nearly as cool or useful as if it could be used as a filter

  5. Re:Does this mean... on Graphene Membranes Superpermeable to Water · · Score: 2

    Can we use this for desalination? That would be epic.

    Better than Pentium II math?

  9. Re:So, no current needed? on Alloy Could Produce Hydrogen Fuel Using Sunlight · · Score: 1

    The alloy functions as a catalyst in the PEC reaction, meaning that it is not consumed and may be reused indefinitely. University of Louisville and University of Kentucky researchers are currently working toward producing the alloy and testing its ability to convert solar energy to hydrogen.

    The runner's high is endorphines, not adrenaline.

  11. Re:There will be a time... on Can Google Save Us From Slow Internet · · Score: 1

    So, Google has famously said... It doesn't care about what individuals do, it cares about statistics of what masses of people do. I personally don't care if Google has the ability to read my email and web searches so they can find out what products and services I'd like best. What I care about is them sharing that information with Uncle Sam or other corporations. If it turns out that's the case, then I'll end my relationship with Google.

  12. Re:I think we all know this... on Web Surfing At Work Can Boost Productivity · · Score: 1

    Your brain only has so much seratonin, calcium, and potassium. For mentally intense jobs, you wear down the supplies far quicker than manual labor.

  15. Re:Long Duration Space Flight on Zombie Pigs First, Hibernating Soldiers Next · · Score: 1

    this plus cryogenics could equal space flight to another planet for colonization. that would be cool. of course, we'd probably have to have terraforming or biodome type shit perfected first.

  16. Re:Yes... on Scientology Charged With Slavery, Human Trafficking · · Score: 1

    you wouldn't believe what they've gotten away with this. there is a ton of dox on their abuses, but the people who have them are too scared to come forward. i can't wait to see what else comes out to the public.

  17. Getting There in Hurry on Gravitational Currents Could Slash Fuel Needed For Space Flight · · Score: 1

    Well with the research into antigravity, and yes levitating a mouse... I'm sure some enterprising individual can figure out how to "amp" up the localized power of the gravitational currents until our cruise time to Mars is drastically less... of course that won't be for free... it would take a huge energy output, but something more efficient than thrusters I imagine... Now imagine finding gravitational currents to other solar systems.

  18. Re:I think we know more than this. on Ten Things We Still Don't Understand About Humans · · Score: 1

    Valentine Michael Smith said of laughter, "It's the only thing that makes the pain stop..." He said this while he was at a zoo, watching monkeys. A monkey found some kind of treat... retreated with it to keep it safe. A bigger monkey saw and went over and hit him on the head and took it. So that monkey went over and hit a smaller monkey on the head and stormed off...

    I had my nose severeley broken, like in 7 places just on the left side.... had a tube up my nose for a couple of weeks after the surgery... my nose hair and skin grew into the gauze and when they pulled it out... OUCH... but my point is after that, I get the crusties all the time... those you can't do anything put pick them out... what I hate are the crusties that are all dry on the end you grab, but turn out goo on the other side...

  21. Re:Retarded. on Wireless Power Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    This method of recharging is going to be much less harmful than the power transformers... Why? High resonance frequency EMF vs. Low resonance frequency EMF. Our entire environment is magnetic. However, it's very low resonance frequency, that we are evolved to survive in. Sure, we're going to loose efficiency with this method of charging. That's why we need to focus on research to create better power sources. Also, what if we found the magnetic resonance frequency of the earth (core/atmosphere, whatever is actually the cause) and derive power from that? Semi Free power? However, to keep from draining the planet like a battery in geological time frames, we can paint artificial structures so that the roofs are black... trapping radiant heat in the atmosphere, where it helps recharge the earth's (core/atmosphere) or something like that. Or I could just be thinking up sum guud science fiction

  22. Google Browser OS paradigm on Google Wave Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I really hope that Google is going in the direction I think it's going... a hybrid webos/cloud computing will enable Netbooks and older hardware configurations to have all of the features one would wish from a much more expensive Windows or MacOS box. While having a high performance machine is something I think will never go away, there are people who aren't serious enough gamers or production professionals who still want to play the latest games or use high end software occaisionally... I hope that Google can create that dream. The best computer experiences shouldn't belong exclusively to those with disposable cash to spend.

    I have to say I experienced the same, though it is far more elegantly put than I would have put it.

  24. Re:Or.. on How to Deal With an Aging Brain? · · Score: 1

    The reason that kids learn so much faster is that everything is fun, new, and useful... You will remember useful things and things you find interesting longer... Fun is an important ingredient in learning. If you get to an age where it's no longer fun to read through the latest slashdot and ars technica and find out the latest specs on a new piece of tech, then you're going to loose your edge. as we get older, it's easy to lose our enthusiasm. there's too much information out there. too much to learn. if we let it overwhelm us we're lost. I grew up at the begginning of the information glut age. I have had to adopt the tactic mentioned about Einstein why memorize it if you can look it up. However, the key is to stay interested. Keep it fresh. Brain cells die, they don't regenerate. This is part of them problem. But, by making learning fun you can hold onto the information... anything that isn't fun or useful will go. So you have to prioritize. What is worth keeping?
