  1. Re:I've always known... on Drink Decaf and Die · · Score: 1

    Er ... IIRC, numerous studies have verified that (A) dietary cholesterol is, in most people, completely unrelated to metabolic cholesterol, and (B) the cholesterol and fat in eggs, for whatever reason, seems to have very little effect even on the people for whom overall dietary cholesterol is a problem. Gonna go finish my omelette now ...

  2. Re:Meh. on AIM Bots: Useful or Spam? · · Score: 1

    Wait, the AIMbot is going to get me beer? Damn ... why did I delete it? Why? WHY?

  3. Re:Bye Bye Ipod on Linux Tablet to be Released in Two Days · · Score: 1

    But where will it end?

  4. Re:Elton John....??? on Star Wars Trilogy MIT Musical · · Score: 1

    Elton John also has several musicals under his belt, most notably the stage version of The Lion King and the modernization of the opera Aida.

  5. Re:Nice.... tell everyone to do something illegal. on Star Wars Trilogy MIT Musical · · Score: 1

    Er ... IANAL, but I do a lot of theater. Performances are indeed copyrightable. What's more, most scripts and scores give permission for performance but expressly not for recording of the performance. To violate that provision is to violate the rights of the holder of the copyright to the script and score.

  6. Re:Evolution on Space Lichens · · Score: 1

    Maybe he's envisioning a monkey made out of chocolate-coated peanut butter?

  7. Re:Surpass yes, but lead? on Patents Chilling Effect on Science · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Given that:
    - in Country Y, I would likely have died as a child without asthma treatments;
    - in Country Y, I would not have access to the technology I enjoy and make my living using;
    - in Country Y, my sexual orientation would most likely result in my being ostracized;
    - in Country Y, my choices will be severely restrained as far as entertainment, the arts, education, travel, medical care, living circumstances, recreation, attire, and many other aspects of life;
    - in Country Y, my civil rights (including my right to patent my inventions and copyright my intellectual property) would probably not be guaranteed by Constitution or protected by law;

    ... I think I'll stick quite happily with Country X, thank you.

  8. Re:Monopolies are always bad on Patents Chilling Effect on Science · · Score: 1

    My solution as a developer would be to increase the risk of doing nothing by creating more sinks, reducing player hoard/storage space and making safe areas less safe.

    The risk of doing nothing cannot be increased. Doing nothing as an entrepreneur/company means going out of business and ceasing to exist. What possible risk could be greater than that?
