  1. Re:Profit in easier steps on Palm Opens Dev Program, Offers $1M For Top App · · Score: 1

    Only if the State made the app. Lotteries are strictly regulated.

  2. Re:Obvious (?) question on Super Strength Substance Approaching Human Trials · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It could cure obesity: more muscles increases your resting metabolic rate. Just increase muscle mass to the point where your digestive tract is overwhelmed, and you start burning fat, no matter what you eat. Kind of like the movie "thinner", but this one would be called "muscular". That brings up interesting questions about what happens when your musculo-skeletal system and your nervous system start fighting for calories. The stereotypical big dumb guy? And isn't this gene therapy, where one shot changes your DNA for life? Culturally, this will hit the fitness industry like a bombshell. Billions are spent annually on looking "ripped". Here's the real deal. Pretty soon, you won't get laid without it.

  3. meat on Disease May Prevent Manned Journey To Mars · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why do we care about sending our meatbag selves to other planets? I'd be more productive if we could just send some strong AI to do it for us.

  4. 32GB $63USD on iPhone Users Angry Over AT&T Upgrade Policy · · Score: 1

    I can get a 32 GB USB drive on newegg for $62.99. So no, it is not worth $500 for the added space alone. How can you people keep doing this to yourself? It's a good phone, but the added functionality isn't work the price. Hell, for $600, the full retail price, you can get a whole MAC Mini, or a Windows Laptop! And neither of those require me to sign a contract with at network as spotty and overpriced as AT&T.
