    WHOOSH.

    The GPs point was that some banks are cheating in the foreclosure process so they can evict the person without actually taking legal ownership of the house away until they get around to it, making the former owner legally responsible for it even after being evicted. That's not even remotely legal.

    Mark the bottoms of each screw with location-specific colors. Every time you come back to your laptop, remove all the screws and check to see if the colors match.

    Not 100%, obviously, but if the marking is small enough the intruder is unlikely to distinguish between the otherwise identical screws/put them all back where they were originally.

    Hundreds of times? Really? That would work out to multiple times per week, every week, for multiple years (or daily for at least several months).

    You sure you're not just making shit up? Or do you just really like reinstalling over and over for no reason?

  13. Re:Fusion!? on A Step Closer To Cheap Nuclear Fusion · · Score: 1

    Today's fuel cycles and reactor designs are so closely knit with nuclear weapons

    No they're not. Patently false. There are more ways to make reactors that are not suitable for bomb making than there are ways to make bomb-making reactors.

    The best experts can't tell which Iran is using theirs for because Iran picked one of the few reactor designs suitable for both power and bomb-making. Given that the design they picked is several orders of magnitude more complicated than just going with a pressurised heavy-water reactor (like what is used in Canada and all over the non-nuclear armed world--useless for bombs, and you can use unprocessed uranium) it is safe to assume it is for more than just electricity.

  14. Re:Maxwell Equations on Researchers Discover "Magnetic Current" · · Score: 3, Informative

    You just failed physics. Congratulations.

    There is no such thing as negative energy (without negative mass anyway).

    What you're confusing with negative energy is relative energy--an object can be said to have negative potential energy if it has less potential energy than the arbitrary zero level. This is not the same thing as negative energy (any more than being in debt is having negative dollars, or being below 0 degrees Farenheit is having negative thermal energy).

  15. Re:When this thread has ended ... on FOSS Sexism Claims Met With Ire and Denial · · Score: 1

    Because there's a big difference between anecdote and data. Cataloguing a broad range of incidents is far more meaningful than an echo chamber quacking about a single recent one.

  16. Re:And why should they care? on MIT Axes the 500-Word Application Essay · · Score: 1

    That list is a load of crap. Pure schadenfreude motivated by a desire to make mediocre people feel better about being mediocre.

    Einstein was a notorious womanizer, not exactly a candidate for autism.

    Jane Austen? Are you fricking kidding me? Everything we know of her life (not a whole lot admittedly, since her sister burned her letters) says the exact opposite, a relative called her the 'silliest, most affected husband hunting butterfly' she'd ever seen. Not a candidate either.

    The list itself admits it is bullshit speculation, and that what is known about many of the people on it contradicts anything resembling an autism spectrum or asperger's diagnosis.

    Kiss my Angeleno ass. Los Angeles has lower rates of murder, robbery, assault, theft, and burglary.

    When Los Angeles, gang ridden shit hole that is, has a not just a lower crime rate, but fewer actual crimes despite its larger population, than your city, you need to shut up.
