  1. not news... on Researchers Demonstrate Quantum Levitation · · Score: 1

    this has been demonstrated before. now, would the entire track with puck locked in flux in a track weigh the same as the sum of the entire track + the puck not locked in flux in a track? if no, THAT would be news.

  2. Re:Another reason to get rid of the mailbox on Banks Find Way To Sell Consumers' Shopping Data · · Score: 1

    wow. does that really work? i can just go to the post office and tell them to not deliver bulk rate mail? color me curious.

  3. Re:anyone else find most groupon offers kinda scam on Groupon Could Challenge Google's Record IPO · · Score: 1

    Yup. I had something like a 40% off coupon at The Gap but it was 40% regular retail price only. All their pants were already discounted so I only ended up saving about 5% had I not used the "coupon", but it got me through the door. Coincidentally, I'm wearing those pants right now and the seams are coming undone. Thanks Groupon!

    Ever consider that maybe your friends are terrible at their jobs?

  5. Re:yes but... on Texas Bill Outlaws Discrimination Against Creationists In Academia · · Score: 1

    This WOULD be the perfect response.

  6. Hype bubble to draw in suckers on Groupon Could Challenge Google's Record IPO · · Score: 1

    this will be the 2nd biggest stock flop after facebook. the business model is too easily duplicated and requires the co-operation of retailers to get those really good deals. those retailers will pull from groupon when livingsocial, twitdeals or facebargains gives them a better cut.

  7. Re:Power to the people :) on Spam Filtering For Small/Medium Business? · · Score: 1

    OP here... I'm actually a "junior" programmer (newest guy on staff), but in smaller organizations, we're often asked to wear many hats. Just last week I was moving office furniture. The "senior" Network Admin had "delegated" the tasks of email maintenance and backups to me, which in my humble opinion are 2 of the biggest responsibilities of a network admin. ...so I'm actually inheriting methods I don't agree with so I'm looking for better solutions. I know almost nothing about networking, but to anyone outside of IT (management), anything having to do with computers is interchangeable, even though the training/schooling you go through to be a programmer vs. network admin are entirely different.

  8. corebrand? on Microsoft Brand In Sharp Decline · · Score: 5, Funny

    corebrand? never heard of em'
