  1. Thats a hell of a pen... on Lasers for Fun and Profit · · Score: 3, Funny

    Laser Medical Pen is 12 inches long, less than 1-inch in diameter, and weighs a mere pound.

  2. Re:Buy a Color printer. on Homemade Digital Picture Frames? · · Score: 1

    I upload pictures of my kids, and every few days they wake up to some new images.

    As in upload from remote? Hmm, just hope someone doesn't hack into that thing.
    You'd probably never hear from your grandparents again if one morning they woke up to grotesc.org (sp). Or perhaps a relative in line for the inheritance when grandma keels over, expecting to find see little Billy, and instead seeing the insides of some guys nether-regions. ;)

  3. Wouldn't make more sense... on Unreasonable Searches When Going to Work? · · Score: 1

    ...if they searched what you brought OUT? o.O

    > I work at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda

  4. Patent on consolidating data? on Casinos Hit the Data Jackpot · · Score: 2

    Any competitor that wants to consolidate data from their own multiple properties "has to come talk to us or run the risk of a lawsuit," Boushy said. "We created a strategy that others thought was nuts at the time, and [we] want to garner benefits from it."

    How can yo patent consolidating data? Sense when does the particular type of data used make it unique? Does this mean that anyone who starts a new type of survey could patent they're survey, and anyone who wants to to collect similar information would have to pay them royalties?

  5. Prevention vs. Reversal on Scientists Hope to Clone Woolly Mammoth · · Score: 2

    I heard of a similar project before for Tasmanian wolves, and that particular article brought up a good point. Why spend all this money on the possibility of bringing back one species, on a limited basses, instead of putting that money into saving many of the spices we already have that are near extinction? I mean it's pretty much common sense that saving a spices that already exists is going to cost less than a spices already dead, and that kind of money could go a long way for that cause.

    I guess, like a certain Spealberg movie mentioned here a few times before, it's purely capitalistic. They care nothing about what they are doing and just want to make money.
