  1. Re:They deserve it on Richest 2% Own Half the World's Wealth · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That has to be the most ignorant post I have ever read and I have read a few. Open your eyes to look beyond the realms of your own limited vision. Most poor people have no choice but to live hand to mouth. And I don't mean trailer-park-poor but living-on-a-handful-of-rice-a-day-if-your-lucky-po or. Do you invest half of that rice in bonds or stock? Ignorant bastard.

    It was worth the karma loss.

  2. Santa Detector on What's the Coolest Thing You've Ever Built? · · Score: 1

    When I was about 7 I built a Santa-Claus-Detector... We used to hang our stockings in our own rooms and "Santa" used to come during the night and fill them. When you stepped on it a very loud ring signal was emitted. I almost gave my mum a heartattack.

  3. Re:It's already happening on Human Species May Split In Two · · Score: 1

    "Just take a look at professional athletes." Sorry, that has little to do with breeding. Better, more effective training, better nutrintion and of course better drugs. You don't seriously believe that todays athletes are clean, do you? At least not the ones winning. The ones breeding for faster track times in the offspring are probably negligable in the big run of things anyway. Can it be 4-6 people worldwide? Small upperclass. Most babies are made in the spur of the moment anyway. Champagne and bubblebaths are dangerous things. Seriously, anyone thinking of track times during sex are unnatural freaks. Wait a minute, its started already. *puts tinfoil hat on and heads for the basement*.

  4. Re:video url on Robo-Gecko Climbs Glass · · Score: 1

    Worked for me with Firefox/1.5.0.3. Do you have Fasterfox on a high setting? I've seen problems on some sites with that.

  5. Speed on Robo-Gecko Climbs Glass · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It didn't mimic the speed of a Gecko, though. That thing was dog slow, and about as sticky as a toy dart shot on a brick wall. Or a real dart for that matter.

    Otherwise it was kinda cool.

  6. It's not as stupid as it seems. Security-wise. on Unlock Your Doors With a Knock Code · · Score: 1


    First - the knock sequence changes with every knock-in. Secondly, it seems that the technology does not differ much from what is used in many modern cars, information baerer omitted, of course. Knocks instead of radio. There is increased security in fact, as a PIN is used to activate the device.

    This said - the device itself looks pretty bulky and you would not want to walk around with it. Why the hell not use a transmitter instead of having to have a small battering ram in your pants pocket. I dont know about you, but that position has already been taken in my pants.

  7. Re:Hacking it. on Unlock Your Doors With a Knock Code · · Score: 2, Informative

    From the article: "Even more importantly, if an unauthorized person tries to record the knocking sequence and play it back in order to open the door, the lock will not open since the knocking sequence changes every time." Read the article first. :)
