  1. Re:bad science question on 20 Years After Cold Fusion Debut, Another Team Claims Success · · Score: 1

    Acutally, there are (or rather were) natural fission reactions, so that's another way of natural element transmutation. About two billion years ago, the concentration of natural Uranium was about 3% U235 (compared to 0.7% today), so a sustained reaction could occur if the conditions were just right. The only known example of this is in Gabon, but scientists estimate that the reactors were running for a few hundred thousand years.

  2. Too soon to celebrate on Fair Use Must Be Considered In DMCA Notices · · Score: 3, Informative

    FTFA: 'Still, Judge Fogel said he had "considerable doubt that Lenz will be able to prove that Universal acted with subjective bad faith" when it sent YouTube the takedown notice.' If I were a betting man (and I am), I'd bet Universal wins this one.

  3. Also not the communications office on Highway Safety Agency Silences Engineers · · Score: 1

    It's not just scientists and engineers who aren't allowed to talk to the press on the record. According to the article, even the NHTSA's own communications office isn't allowed to. This administration makes Jon Stewart's job too easy.

  4. Re:LOL on PS3 Predicted to Lead Market Through 2011 · · Score: 1

    Does anyone take these predictions seriously? Not a single PS3 unit has yet been sold, but somehow they know that in 5 years, it's market share will be 44%. Not 43%, not 45% but 44%. I wonder out of which orifice this number was pulled.

  5. Re:The RIAA has no case on RIAA Goes after LimeWire · · Score: 1

    Your basing your whole case on the fact that they ask you to promise not to steal stuff? If I ever get sued, remind me not to hire you as my defense attorney.

  6. Yet another Apple commercial on Apple to Unveil New Leopard OS in August · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Neither the submission nor the article actually says anything about the OS, yet we're told the Leopard is "cool and fast" without any evidence whatsoever. Yet somehow this magic OS, which we know nothing about, is going to cause "remarkable market share gain next year." Nope, never heard that before.
