  1. I'll vote for that! on New Group Paves Way For 2012 Online Primary · · Score: 1

    I'll vote for that!

  2. Re:They're still around? on Occupy Protesters Are Building a Facebook for the 99% · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised we haven't had an anti-wall-street psycho start bombing banks yet.

    The first rule of Fight Club is .....

  3. Short Years on these planets on Kepler Discovers First Earth-Sized Exoplanets · · Score: 1

    A six day long year on one and a 20 day year on the other? Imagine the New Years party! Barely recover from one and it's time for another!

    No collection is truly complete without the Eng book "Dimension Zero"!

  5. Re:How about driving their evolution instead? on Fighting Mosquitoes With GM Mosquitoes · · Score: 3, Informative

    That's exactly what they are doing. They are concentrating on one single strain of mosquito that is the only one that carries the virus. by eradicating only this one strain, they hope to eliminate the virus without eliminating the Mosquito as a species.

  6. Re:Hugh Laurie on Doctor Who To Become Hollywood Feature Film · · Score: 1

    How about Rowan Atkinson, Richard E Grant, Hugh Grant (as Doctor Who), Jonathan Pryce and Joanna Lumley instead? Link

  7. Re:Awesome example of timeline shift on Starships In a Century? · · Score: 1

    Except that now the Human Lifespan is reaching 100 years. So maybe it means "you may live to see it, but just barely."

  8. Re:Which OS was infested? I bet I can guess. on Houston Courts Shut Down By Malware · · Score: 1

    Sometimes the problem is in the chairs of the County's Commissioners. Here in Dallas County we don't have an IT Department. NONE! For a system second in size only to Houston's. There is NO BUDGET for one! It's cheaper to just let the systems be and contract for repairs when needed. They use "WebSense" to act as our Firewall and block access to most of the internet, INCLUDING Microsoft Update! Most systems here have NO SERVICE PACKS installed because they are not allowed to connect to outside sites via port 80, but ALL OTHER PORTS are fine and open!

  9. Re:No Taxation without Representation! on Taxing Virtual Gaming Assets · · Score: 1
    People who can't vote even if they want to. Yet still have to pay taxes of one sort or another...

  10. Re:Questions from the out-field on Dark Matter — "Alternative Gravity" Team Responds · · Score: 1

    IANAP either but I got another related question.

    IF there are more than the 3 spatial dimentions we can sense, what would normal matter look like if it was NOT all in OUR three dimensions? Could it generate Gravity we can sense, but not other forms of radiation? If it was only in one or two of our three dimensions, I'd think that any EM radiation would be generated perpendicular to our three dimentions. If so, we couldn't sense it, could we? But it could still have Mass that create gravity we CAN.

    For that matter (pardon the pun), what if the "dark" matter were moving throuhg the time dimention at a different rate than we are? Even if it did generate radiation, it'd be at the "C" of the matter that generates it not ours.
