    Actually..... my girlfriend's dad is an engineer at TI and he's been having a hell of a time trying to get vacation leave this year. (Get accepted, only to have it canceled a week later, varying dates, etc.)

  2. Re:Well then on Feds Overstate Software Piracy's Link To Terrorism · · Score: 1

    But you dont understand! Thepiratebay is a terrorist plot in on itself! They're trying to cut into the profits of good, honest, hard-working American corporations in order to brake us down from underneath!

  6. Re:And.... on Why Myths Persist · · Score: 1

    "Can God create something so heavy that even He cant move?" The very idea of the existence of God is a paradox, it defies logic, thus, it cannot be.

  7. Eh, remember Starcraft in space?? on NASA To Send Luke's Lightsaber Into Space · · Score: 1
  8. Power Line Resistance on Solar Power Headed For 45% Annual Growth · · Score: 1

    Doesn't on-site production eliminate all the energy wasted due to resistance in power lines, etc?

    "but evolution tells us that we are just the latest in a long line of incremental improvements." no, evolution tells us that we are the latest in a long line of incremental "changes", not "improvements"

  11. Re:Good idea on US School Curriculum to Include Online Safety? · · Score: 1

    I just graduated from high school (a technology magnet too!) and found the technology situation to be quite interesting. Often times it is the teachers who learn from the students rather than the students teach the teacher. It is the students who always figure out how to get past the obnoxious firewall and teach the teachers how to do it as well. Despite all the restrictions, lock-downs, and surveillance placed on my former school's computer system, we have found a way to install games in almost every computer and students often spend spare time playing LAN games (UT, Starcraft, etc.) Many times I've even seen technology teachers give students extra credit for finding an interesting hack (even if it wreaks havoc on the rest of the class's computers!). So, I'm interested to know, who should really teach this class, the average teacher or the average student?

    Yeah, it's sad this species has gone extinct....

  13. Social/Political Impact? on Where the Wii Fits In · · Score: 1

    Dont you think that the Wiis popularity in broad audiences will have social/political impacts? What will happen to those who cry "videogames are the source of all evil!!" when you have grandmas playing?

  14. Gun Laws on Many Dead In Virginia Tech Shooting · · Score: 1

    While I'm all for regulating who has guns and who hasn't, we cant forget one of the reasons the Second Amendment is there.
    The way i see it, America is heading down the wrong path, considering the current administration and all. I foresee the NEED for a revolution sometime in the future. I definitely want to have guns on my side when the future dictator of the U.S. sends in troops to get rid of any opposition they may have.

  15. Re:Hurricanes on earth also do that sometimes on A Symmetrical Cosmic Red Square · · Score: 1
