irh_1974Said it before and i'll say it againThe USA comprises 5% of the worlds population and it's a saturated marketStop loving yourself so much, because you aren't as important as you think you are Dude, USA consists of ~ 25% of the entire world's market. Think about it. For better or worse...

Don't make stuff up. This is not the first artificial leaf. That honor goes to John Turner of the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado almost a decade ago. Some one I have personally met while attending school at the Colorado School of Mines. This is explicitly stated in...

stingstangWell, to be fair, almost all MMORPGs are rips from WoW. You really can't get around it anymore. It's like making a TV show and trying not to duplicate something the The Simpsons did during one of their episodes. EvE Online is nothing like WoW. Everquest II is very different from WoW...

"However, a federal magistrate has now given Sony the green light to subpoena the PayPal records of George Hotz." Jane, Magistrates are quite rare in the US and Federal Magistrate Judges are referred to as Judges. It seems very unlikely that a Federal Magistrate Judge issued this order, more...

LePhuronnAnd the Japanese haven't just filled up the containment chamber with boron powder why? Standard failsafe equipment over here in the UK (IIRC, of which I probably don't).Kills the reactor stone dead yes, but the fission reaction stops as every particle gets soaked up. They did, but the...

nexus9113The biggest danger of a melt down is not the explosion of the containment chamber, but the possibility of the fuel becoming so hot that it burns through everything it comes into contact with, which will result in what is known as "China Syndrome", a slang term coined by US nuclear...

vinnywongWhat a great idea to save trees! I wish we have them in US. Why are we so behind in innovative technology?Although I have used a single for a year now. All my bills are paid online. You're joking, right? Look at the size of a stamp. How many trees do you think this saves? Not many...

The day Valve sells is the day Valve dies. I can simply look at all the other game developers that have been purchased over the years for the result. I have seen far to many successful developers who get bought out simply loose their driven and eventually have to close up shop. It seems that...

glennster68Abortion after stops a beating heart if done later than ~ 23 days after conception. That's a medical fact. You can argue the value of that beating heart, but you cannot dispute the facts and be taken seriously. Who cares about a beating heart? Its just a pump, full of blood, that...

potatolordThe governments will probably already know who "anonymous" are, where they live, their tax codes etc. Once they get annoyed enough they'll want sufficient evidence to prosecute them.Given that the government have lots of cash, they'll be employing the brightest post-docs within their...

Kartu, you are on the wrong website then. To answer you question, it'll never stop, that is the whole point of consumer electronics. Better, faster, stronger. 1/10

The problem I have with the price of this product is that it is just too high. The Asus Eee Slate is only $300 more and blows this thing out of the water. I just don't find $800 reasonable for this level of hardware. Sure, its better than the iPad, but non-Apple products are usually priced more...

CirdecusIf you think 100% transparency would work, then you obviously have no idea what national security means. If you have such a bleeding heart for those being mistreated by government, then you're probably liberally blinded to the realities of modern governance. "'A matter of internal...

Yoder54There are several problems with how we test and who we educate. First, we test all students including SPED. We also assume that all students are bound for college, we need to implement a system that will track student into the vocational arts or college bound programs at the 10th grade...

BolbiI'm glad President Obama recognized that our education system is largely failing, but I wish he hadn't emphasized the math and science so much. How many times did he repeat the "math and science" line? Too many for me. I know they're important, but the educational system has been failing on...
