  1. Re:Not just redheads on Redheads Feel Pain Differently Than the Rest of Us · · Score: 1

    Simple, my hair was brick red to copper until I was about 19. Then the hair on my head turned almost brown. Everything else (beard down) stayed red. Thus partial red haired. (Still burn in the sun, but am able to develop a tan, so I guess I'm a day walker.)

  2. Re:I thought this had been covered several years a on Redheads Feel Pain Differently Than the Rest of Us · · Score: 1

    Anecdotal evidence (i.e. my life) would say this is false. But then again that is a very small n.

    They have to inform you if they do. Most just take notes.

  6. Re:Telepsychiatry vs. Telepsychology on Therapy Over IP Draws the Young, Isolated · · Score: 1

    Psy D.'s can prescribe in many states, and psychologist often work in tandem with nurse practitioners in order to provide prescribing services. Also, more than 80% of all mental health care in the US is provided by social workers, not psychiatrists or psychologists.

  7. Re:There is only one true keyboard... on Review of Das Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Without the windows key there would only be two modifier keys (alt and control). Mac keyboards have three modifier keys (command, control, and option), and each is used quite frequently. Thus, it is nice to have the windows key, even though it has the wrong graphic printed on it.

    I still can't believe how many people believe this is real.

    You have a point, but paperweight just doesn't roll of the tongue like brick. Which would you rather say "paperweighted" or "bricked"?

  16. Using childhood toys for science and technology! on Microfluidic Chips Made With Shrinky Dinks · · Score: 1

    This gave me a brilliant idea! As many people cannot afford a genuine Segwey and are still to fat to actually walk for themselves, why not invent a budget Segwey that utilizes some good old school toy tech. Think of the great money savings that could be realized by tapping into the most trip proof nature of the Weeble in leu of expensive microprocessor controlled gyroscopes and such. I mean, the ride might be a bit wobbly, but it won't fall down. And in the spirit of childhoodiness, I would give the project a code name "SHHH...It's around the corner!"

  17. Re:Complete Disregard for Life and Suffering. on Radiation Not As Hazardous As Once Believed · · Score: 1

    You know what makes ME sick?

    Knowing that people like you will be the first to point out that 9/11 "only" caused 3,000 deaths, which pales in comparison to all the people killed in car accidents, robberies, etc.
    Dude, you need to get your sarcasm detector checked.

    And about the WalMart thingie that's bigger than need be: well, packing the hardware tight together isn't exactly easy or cheap + it's harder to cool those cramped spaces.

  20. Re:well on Predicting The Google Phone · · Score: 2, Funny

    The biggest advantage the iPhone has is its ability to be used at any wifi hotspot for free internet access. The gPhone cannot match this capability since it can only be used at g-spots, which are supposed to be difficult to find.

  21. Re:The Space Shuttle is GREAT on The Story of Baikonur, Russia's Space City · · Score: 1

    Have you ever actually looked at a picture of a Buran on the launch pad?

    Have you ever actually read what those engines were for? Maybe, instead of relying on a simple picture from an anemic wikipedia article, you should read what they were really used for: propulsion in orbit. In other words, not for lift.

    So, I think that amounts to at least 1 for 3, not abad, if we were playing baseball batting average.
