  1. dear college on Shadow Scholar Details Student Cheating · · Score: 1

    does anyone care if students cheat on some paper? can't students already buy their way into higher tier colleges? writing a paper isn't proof of real knowledge anyway, but if some humanities professor thinks his material is relevant let him test on it. fucking waste of time most of these courses. here's a thought, let a student study what they want and achieve real success without piling on extra "well rounded student" courses. the fuck does some kid with asperger's care about art history? (unless of course, he REALLY cares about art history, but then he'd be an art history major) sincerely, some college kid with asperger's who doesn't give a fuck about art history.

  2. this is going to get ugly on NVIDIA Offers 3D Glasses For the Masses · · Score: 2, Funny

    because i am going to hook a gyroscope up to these glasses and interface them with my mouse. and then i am going to put myself in a hampster ball setup, also connected to my mouse/movement interface. ...and then i'm going to buy a Fleshlight...

  3. Re:Here's a reasonable restriction... on After Columbine, Eric Holder Advocated Internet "Restrictions" · · Score: 1

    i believe he meant by "government restrictions", restrictions BY the government, not ON the government.

  4. seems she's liable on Lori Drew Cyber-Bullying Trial Begins · · Score: 1

    it states pretty clearly in the computer fraud and abuse act: Knowingly causing the transmission of a program, information, code, or command that causes damage or intentionally accessing a computer without authorization, and as a result of such conduct, causes damage that results in: Physical injury to any person. do i think it's a bullshit law? for sure. still looks like she knowingly transmitted information that causes damage that results in physical injury to another person. it ain't murder, but it looks like she could do 10 years for it. ianal

  5. Re:Cloward-Piven Strategy on Dead Goldfish Offered The Vote In Illinois · · Score: 1

    well given the fact that they explicitly stated the intention of the strategy, and put it in to practice in new york city in 1975, i don't think it qualifies for a conspiracy. well, in fact they are conspiring in the strictest sense, but they are not doing anything illegal. classifying it as a conspiracy is like saying the US government conspired to invade iraq. point of fact it is perfectly legal to enroll people who are eligible into welfare programs. and since clinton signed it in to law, you can legally register pretty much anyone to vote (though a fish is a little extreme). the legality of invading iraq is however, dubious at best. it is a strategy designed to expose a flaw in our voting system by overwhelming it.

  6. Cloward-Piven Strategy on Dead Goldfish Offered The Vote In Illinois · · Score: 1

    Give it a look see. it is not about voter fraud, it is about manufactured crisis and it can be pretty effective.

  7. Re:"disappering pencil" on Batman Discussion · · Score: 1

    i like how they took some stuff from the original batman movies and made them frankly better. the "magic trick" vs. the whole "the pen is mightier than the sword" the joker's character in general the joker's meeting with the mob bosses in both movies the bat cycle vs. the crazy shrinking batmobile in batman returns and i saw a bunch of other little "jabs" it seemed to me they were making at the other movies, but they escape me now.

  8. Re:One Question on Batman Discussion · · Score: 1

    it absolutely has to be Bane. with the horrible crap they made Bane into in the Batman and Robin movie, they really need to tell his actual story.

    Read the Knightfall book.

  9. Re:The Art of Electronics on Books On Electronics For the Lay Programmer? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I was an Aviation Electronics Technician in the Navy as well, and I still refer to the NEETS modules 7 years later. Also, I still subscribe to the infamous "Navy Way" when it comes to electron flow.

    Check these modules out, and also get yourself a copy of "The Electronics Workbench" series of software apps that let you map out and test many different circuits virtually. It even has virtual tools like o-scopes and multimeters. I use that software quite a bit.

    And yeah, soldering irons are 2-3 times hotter than a lit cigarette, so think about that before you go waving it around. This is coming from someone that gets burned or electrocuted at least once a month. :)

  10. Re:Maybe now on Simon Pegg to Play Scotty · · Score: 1

    please proceed to the nearest customer service window, and turn in your nerd card. also, as a future warning, please refrain from commenting on the "news for nerds" forum, and be sure to have a nice day.

  11. Re:fp on Winnie Wrote a Math Book · · Score: 2, Interesting

    stupid. showing overly skinny women is SO healthy for the psyche of young girls. let's make sure our math teachers have all posed for stuff magazine first...
