Comment Re:Why would you refuse a breathalyzer? (Score 2) 1219

There is so much wrong here, it's hard to know where to even start... oh wait, you nicely numbered it. Sweet.

1) Bullshit, blood tests are accurate while breath tests are all across the board in terms of accuracy. If you think you are under the limit, always go with the blood test because the breathalyser is more likely to screw you.
2) Urban myth. Everyone and their mother has a breathalyser cheat method.
3) If the cop thinks you are purposely delaying, you're screwed. Furthermore, admitting *anything* to a police officer is always a retarded idea. Save it for the judge, nothing you can say to a police officer can improve your situation.
4) Women get more intoxicated for the same volume of alcohol. BAC tests don't have a sex bias, drinking does.

Luckily the core is pretty absurdly massive. It's not going to suddenly lose all of it's kinetic energy without dumping it somewhere, a process which undoubtedly would be pretty impressive and noticeable.

Also, that movie was terrible. ;) (and not just for it's absurd physics, because Sunshine (with an even more absurd premise) was actually pretty good)

Comment Re:Good. (Score 2) 162

Even with the assumption that the scheme is secure (a bad assumption) automatically making the consumer liable for PIN transactions on a credit-card is a pretty lame idea. We already know from ATM skimmers that PINs are quite easy for fraudsters to acquire. I don't see why credit-cards would ever be desirable over debit-cards with this scheme and law.
