  1. I don't know about that... on Full Bladder Improves Decision Making · · Score: 1

    After two cups of coffee in the morning, I couldn't think straight when I got to work--until I'd visited the men's room to take a leak.

  2. Iceland = Saudi Arabia on Iceland Eyes Liquid Magma As Energy Source · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Iceland could be the Saudi Arabia of the Hydrogen Economy: An island nation, w/practically unlimited geothermal energy--with which desalinate seawater; and for making electricity to break the molecular bonds of all that H2O.

  3. Yawn on Sarah Palin Seeks To Trademark Her Name · · Score: 1

    yawn....

  4. Susan Collins?... on Internet Kill Switch Back On the US Legislative Agenda · · Score: 1

    ...shouldn't be allowed to sponsor any legislation or be asked for her opinion until she has spent a year in the ghetto or gulag,

  5. Re:yes it does on Obama Nominates RIAA Lawyer For Solicitor General · · Score: 1

    Now I get it--you didn't believe Obama but voted for him anyway because believes in himself.
    In other words--HE's the one that's gullible; & you think that makes for a good presidential candidate
    That makes ALL KINDS of sense!!

    Dude--I still say you have a talent for splitting hairs...and admire your trolling skills

  6. Re:yes it does on Obama Nominates RIAA Lawyer For Solicitor General · · Score: 1

    "If he were truly informed, who would he have voted for? Palin? Assange would have been assassinated by now. McCain? The Iraq occupation would have continued until the oil wells were dry. Clinton? Israel would probably have twice the military power it has now."

    problem?

  7. Re:yes it does on Obama Nominates RIAA Lawyer For Solicitor General · · Score: 0

    Pojut,
    Your problem--that you don't understand--is that you are gullible.
    but you make up for it with a talent for splitting hairs.

    Fact is that on at least one occasion an interviewer called Obama on

    A) whether his so-called progressive agenda would in fact be good for America, and
    B) whether he could achieve his campaign promises.

    His response was telling: he said if not he would likely be a one-term president

  8. in 2008... on America Losing Its Edge In Innovation · · Score: 2

    In 2008, NH Senator Sununu was the only graduated, certified engineer in the US Senate...and was replaced by former Governor Jeanne "Red Ridinghood" Shaheen...

    WhooRah!!

  10. Re:Good target for beer bottles. on A Guitar Robot That Can Really Shred · · Score: 1

    Target for beer bottles? yep. I don't play (but wish I did), but I have a lot of friends who do. Blues, mostly. One of my local 'blues buddies' has a Grammy or two; a WC Handy Award; and was in the Blues Brothers 2000 movie (no shit!) Having met--and known--and spent a lot of time listening--in person--to guys that played in bands w/ Howling Wolf, Magic Sam, and Muddy Waters ...I would trade you all the 'metal' that ever been produced (and rap too, for that matter) for one night sitting around listening to my'buds

  11. Old Chinese saying... on Democrats Crowdsourcing To Vote Palin In Primaries · · Score: 1

    ...be careful what you ask for...

  12. In other news... on US Says Genes Should Not Be Patentable · · Score: 1

    ...sunshine should be warm, water wet, & air not smell bad.

    Seriously, how can naturally occurring genes be patentable? If naturally occurring genes CAN be patentable, then couldn't natural life processes amount to patent infringement? Ridiculous!

  13. Or how about this... on 1928 Time Traveler Caught On Film? · · Score: 1

    She is a delusional old lady who thinks she hears voices...

  14. I think, therefore I am... on The Effect of Internal Bacteria On the Human Body · · Score: 1

    a collection of cells!

    Begs the question of what is 'consciousness' ?

  15. Re:So? on Louisiana Federal Judge Blocks Drilling Moratorium · · Score: 1

    Did you read the judge's ruling?--that the moratorium's documentation was incomplete, & it's reasoning arbitrary & capricious?!?

    Additionally, that the administration added the moratorium language AFTER it was signed by the experts,
    to give the impression that the experts approved the moratorium--which they are now saying is false!

    How do you figure the Obama Administration is NOT engaged in fraud & extortion?

  16. Re:Congress is happy on SpaceX's Falcon 9 Appears As UFO In Australia · · Score: 0, Troll

    Umm... how about some equal time for Democrats??
    Now that 'The One' has shut down the Shuttle & de-funded the Ares Program because he is against spending precious tax dollars on wasteful activities (heh)
    any bets on how soon the liberal do-gooders will want to impose confiscatory new taxes on the nascent private space industry's "windfall" profits?

  17. Amazon.com... on Help Me Get My Math Back? · · Score: 1

    Calculus for Dummies

  18. Not New Hampshire on eBay Urges Rethink On EU Plan's "Brick and Mortar" Vendor Requirement · · Score: 1

    Or two: Ask respondents to rate economy e-book readers; and also e-book readers when price is no object.

  20. Re:Premature on Gov't Proposes "National Climate Service" For the US · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We are already paying for a National Weather Service / NOAA.

    On long range predictions, the AGW alarmists are doing just fine now voluntarily--OTOH, it might be worth it to pay them to STFU...

    ..."I say we let them."

    Agreed--let them do it on their own nickel.

  21. THIS is why we pay taxes?? on Porn Surfing Rampant At US Science Foundation · · Score: 1

  23. So stupid on New Unmanned Japanese Re-Supply Vessel For the ISS · · Score: 1

    It is soooo stupid for a major power like the US to not have an operational manned launch vehicle (omlv) available.

    This IS the 'Space Age' isn't it?? Didn't we practically invent it? So how does it come to pass that we will spend over 5 years w/out an omlv???

    It's crap.

  24. Is this absurd? on Solar Roadways Get DoT Funding · · Score: 1

    What a waste of money...I want my flying car & lower taxes from road maintenance savings.

  25. What about copyright infringement on software? on 88% of Electronics Exports Reused, Not Dumped · · Score: 1

    The only thing that I don't like about this is that old, out-of-use copies of ancient software--like maybe the first version of MS Word v.1.0--that maybe COULD be copied & run on these old machines by some 3rd world school kid--CAN'T legally be copied & run because Ballmer & Gates have bought & paid for US legislation making such "copyright infringement" illegal. Cuz Ballmer & Gates need the $$.
