• Commented on Viscous keyboard-cleaning goop
  I used to work in a desktop support type job, and one of my clients was a woman that used olive oil to keep her hair in check, and liked to eat crackers at her desk. Thing is, she didn't...
• Commented on Moon has water
  Of course Mars has huge underground blocks of ice. We just need someone to stick his hand in the alien-designed machine and melt them to break the monopoly on air....
• Commented on Hot day fun for kids: paint the house with water
  The protests over this waste of water and resources has touched me deeply. I just filled a plastic milk jug with a gallon of tap water and will be mailing it to an African child. I moistened the stamps with...
• Commented on Jury awards massive judgement against Taser International, shares slump
  People make (or link to) charts like that so they can dupe people who don't know any better, thereby "proving" whatever point they are trying to make. TASR lost $0.24 today. For a stock only worth $6 that's a drop,...

• Commented on Ford truck with RFID tool tracker
  @19 Don't you go bringing that logic and reason into the old-fashioned pitchfork mob that's going on. Now, if only my pitchfork hadn't been stolen from my truck....
• Commented on Tear-free onion engineered
  1) Scientists that do research in this area are unlikely to be qualified to do research into AIDS or cancer, so expecting them to come up with a cure is silly. Similarly, we don't except AIDS researchers to come up...
• Commented on MythBusters tackles "plane on a conveyor belt problem"
  The plane's forward motion is provided by something that doesn't touch the ground, so being on a treadmill doesn't make any difference. Imagine if you were sitting on a skateboard on a sheet of ice, or a treadmill, or whatever....
• Commented on Southern racists adopt "Canadian" as a euphemism for "black"
  @8 The phrase "a nip in the air", as well as "call a spade a spade", "niggardly", "a chink in the armor" and a host of others aren't in the least racist. The nip in question refers to a bite,...

• Commented on What waterboarding feels like
  Even with that fresh insight, however, I still oppose it. Humans shouldn't treat each other that way. Agreed. Now go explain to the world's terrorists that humans shouldn't fly airliners into buildings, blow up subways, or behead reporters and we'll...
