  1. Re:Life on Mars is impossible... on Martian Microbe Fossils, Not So Debunked Anymore · · Score: 1

    Only because we know that God would not make the same mistake twice. She knows better.

  2. Most likely Message on NASA Satellite Looks For Response From Dead Mars Craft · · Score: 1

    Batteries cold, can't start, has anybody out there got cables, I need a boost.

  3. Trailer Park Boys on Using a Toy Train To Calibrate a Reactor · · Score: 1

    Running dope to the US using a model train set up running across the border. Looks like they used the same gauge too.

  4. Re:Choice to Make on Cellphone Radiation May Protect Brain From Alzheimers · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't remember......

  5. Choice to Make on Cellphone Radiation May Protect Brain From Alzheimers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So I can not use a cell phone and may get alzheimers or I can use a cell phone and not get alzheimers but could get brain cancer ...... time to flip a coin.

  6. It will do nothing. on Can Imaging Technologies Save Us From Terrorists? · · Score: 1

    The most common type of terrorist attack is the car/truck bomb. This will do nothing to stop them.

    How many people were killed by car/truck bombs in the last year. Now how many were killed in blown up aircraft.

    Soon this method of attack will come to North America and by then it will be too late.

    Air terrorism is so sexy it gets all the attention.

  7. Re:Why? on Thorium, the Next Nuclear Fuel? · · Score: 1

    OK I forgot the tags. I thought the use of the phrase 'super-dooper' might have been enough.

  8. Re:Canadian CANDU reactors can use Thorium on Thorium, the Next Nuclear Fuel? · · Score: 1

    That is one of the reasons India bought access to the technology.

  9. Why? on Thorium, the Next Nuclear Fuel? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Because 'Big-Uranium' bought up all the patents and made them secret. ...... Just like 'Big-Oil" bought up the super-dooper battery patents.

  10. Re:Summary is wrong, read the patent on USPTO Awards LOL Patent To IBM · · Score: 1

    The Internet already does this. I see a 3/4 letter acrinum and I look it up.

  11. Re:The real problem with ths site on Canadian Censorship Takes Down 4500 Sites · · Score: 1

    When they first came out they were a direct copy. You put them side by side there was no difference in the 'look and feel'. The structure was cut and pasted and only the editorial content was different.

  12. The real problem with ths site on Canadian Censorship Takes Down 4500 Sites · · Score: 1

    Was that they infringed on copyrights and tradmarks.

  13. Re:I'll drink with Scotty... on Real-World Synthehol In Development · · Score: 1

    "It's uh ... (sniffs contents of bottle) It's green. ...

  14. Fine but... on Next-Gen Glitter-Sized Photovoltaic Cells Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Where is my flying car promised to me in the 1960s'?

  15. Re:Citation needed on Call To "Open Source" AIG Investigation · · Score: 1

    Because all the major news media realized, after the initial frenzy was over, there was no real story.

  16. Re:Really Bad Idea on Call To "Open Source" AIG Investigation · · Score: 1

    If you do any real research, non YouTube University and Blogger College type research you will find 'Greenland' per say was primarily a real estate scam and nothing more and there is no physical proof that grapes were ever grown in 'Greenland'. The ice cores do not even support this hypothesis.

  17. Really Bad Idea on Call To "Open Source" AIG Investigation · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is a really, really bad idea.

    For an example of why you have to look no further that the so called 'ClimateGate' scandal. Here you had a bunch of people 'cherry picking' phrases and code segments then using them completely out of context to cause a major up roar. Which because of its simplicity of presentation was able to draw in the masses of the uninformed public, media included, who took what was presented to them at face value simply because they wanted to believe.

  18. The Best Present Ever - on Science Gifts For Kids? · · Score: 1

    Get a copy of this PDF 'goldenchem.pdf' print it on good paper and have it bound. You may be able to find an original copy of the book but not likely. Just remember when ever they open the book and try the struff, don't hover.

  19. Space shifting not fair use? on Court Says Fair Use May Hold In Some RIAA Cases · · Score: 1

    "E.g. it declined to rule out the possibility that creation of mp3 files exclusively for space-shifting purposes from audio CDs a defendant had previously purchased might constitute fair use."

    You mean in the land of the free you do not have the right to use the media content you bought in any way you like in any device you own.

    Only in Canada you say. Pitty.

    No wonder the **AA hate us so much.

  20. Re:Woah on Subverting Fingerprinting · · Score: 1

    I saw a security expert open a finger print scanner lock by squishing a gummy bear on the scanner part. He was giving a 'this is the real world" type lecture. We did not let the manager who authorized the purchase know. It would have ruined his day.

  21. Re:Methodical Research Trumps Tantalizing Evidence on New Evidence For Ancient Life On Mars · · Score: 1

    There will never be a government project to send people to Mars so long as there is the possibility of failure or even death. No sitting government wants their science minister to be grilled in a government inquiry or the media frenzy that would result. Even if the participants in the trip all signed papers that said "I know I am committing suicide". The only exception is the Chinese. Non democratic governments do have their benefits.

  22. Re:Great... on Engaging With Climate Skeptics · · Score: 1

    The problem with trying to convince people of these processes is that the processes themselves take so long to happen that they cannot really be shown to anyone.

  23. Note to sceptics: on Engaging With Climate Skeptics · · Score: 1

    The majority of all the 'raw data' is available on line.

    you can even go get your own if you like as it source is not begin hidden anywhere. It is right out in the open so to speak.

    Now instead of using stolen 12 year old internal emails and docs which no longer have a clear chain of custody making their contents questionable to dispute man made global warming / climate change. Get a hold of the data and do your own analysis and present your findings along with your conclusions supported by that data.

  24. "Mom - Dad!!!" on Australian Govt. Proposes Internet "Panic Button" For Kids · · Score: 1

    There that was easy.

  25. The ad reborn on After 35 Years, Another Message Sent From Arecibo · · Score: 2, Funny
