  1. I already voted... by tewl · · Score: 2 · on Should You Vote?

    The absentee ballot came last week and I sent it out, with a big ol' X by Ralph Nader's name.

    Absentee ballots are so easy to obtain, if you really can't get to the election on the 7th, it may not be too late to get an absentee ballot, by not voting, it's not really a form of protest, it's just emphasizing the laziness of our generation. Sure, I know Ralph Nader won't win, but atleast I'm not letting others decide for me.

    Whatever you do though, don't try to sell your ballot like here. This website was hawking absentee ballots....

  2. Not to be too picky... by Vuarnet · · Score: 1 · on Hubble Reveals Secrets of a Celestial 'Blob'

    or troll-ish... but exactly why did this story get posted to /.? I mean, this story, as far as I've seen, has nothing particularly new considering all that the Hubble has discovered / seen better / explained before.

    There's a ton of new stories waiting to be posted here. For instance, I particularly liked the one about N = NP and the supposed discovery of the Higgs particle. But this one? I failed to see anything novel. Just another case of "bigger telescope reveals more details of something seen a gazillion times before".

    In that same page, you can find out about NASA aborting Discovery's launch due to some equipment left on the pad. That's something to talk about, spending so much time and money preparing for the launch just to have it all come apart due to someone's carelessness.
