Comment geo engineering (Score 1) 236

As long as they dont screw around with the environment trying to "fix" what we dont know is broken, then im happy

That is of course if im not forced to wear white everything, breath at a certain rate, exercise at certain times, eat certain foods, and other things that generate greenhouse gases (co2 and methane) im fine.

But seriously, in new york i cant stall in a car. id get a $200 fine if i did.

Speaking of climate change though, is it legal to build solar panel power plants in the US again, or is it still undergoing "environmental testing"?

how is this not obvious? where he have some sort of ridge like pattern (hands, feet) we have more sensitive nerves there. The ridges increase surface area of our skin which means we can feel more using up less volume

the star nosed mole is the perfect example of increased surface area for more touch sensitivity.

Comment i still dont see the logic (Score 3, Interesting) 578

If someone wants a new browser they should get it themselves. Can someone explain to me why bundling IE with windows is considered to be a trust? MS doesn't charge any money for it, and it was better than Netscape when it came out, why is it all of the sudden a trust and not a trust 15 years ago?

Comment arg why cant square enix do this?! (Score 1) 50

I really REALLY want to see squaresoft (now enix) classics like FF7 and xenogears redone to for the ps3.
nintendo keeps doing this and makes a profit. squareenix doesn't. I don't like the bs excuse that they wouldn't like making money over a successful game twice whether. :(
It pisses me off, its also why im not getting a ps3
