  1. Even though these are not super secret... on Wikileaks Publishes $1B of Public Domain Research Reports · · Score: 1

    from http://www.opencrs.com/ "American taxpayers spend over $100 million a year to fund the Congressional Research Service, a "think tank" that provides reports to members of Congress on a variety of topics relevant to current political events. Yet, these reports are not made available to the public in a way that they can be easily obtained."

  2. Blackwater on Rescued Banks Sought Foreign Help During Meltdown · · Score: 0, Redundant

    How long until banks start using Blackwater as their primary security service?

  3. Re:This will come up on Local Police Want To Jam Wireless Signals · · Score: 1

    your post made me think of those cattle prod wielding robots in THX-1138

  4. Re:FAFSA on Woman Claims Ubuntu Kept Her From Online Classes · · Score: 1

    you fucked around with a promissory note with years of debt to test browser compatibility? My hat is off to you.

  5. FAFSA on Woman Claims Ubuntu Kept Her From Online Classes · · Score: 1

    Doing student loan stuff online requires IE

  6. your underground health movement on Scientists Build Neonatal Incubator From Car Parts · · Score: 1

    would do well to use the wikileaks or thepiratebay as examples of avoiding concerted legal attacks from multiple jurisdictions

  7. Tinker toys on Scientists Build Neonatal Incubator From Car Parts · · Score: 1

    Like the computer made from tinker-toys that plays tic-tac-toe? http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~cfs/472_html/Intro/TinkertoyComputer/TinkerToy.html

  8. Methane on Wind and Sun Beat Other Energy Alternatives · · Score: 1

    I suggest methane produced from anaerobic digestion. Humans already produce a lot of sewage. The world has a lot of livestock making a lot of manure. I've started a site to bring to light what the Chinese have been doing in rural areas for a while: http://www.solomonweil.com/chinesebiogas/

  9. Re:I smell fear here... on Replacing Metal Detectors With Brain Scans · · Score: 1

    No need to believe in a deity to think that the people involved are making their own lives hell. I rest assured that they do not sleep easily.

  10. Re:WTF? on Chinese Hacking of American Military Networks On the Rise · · Score: 1

    It's a pre-release of a congressional report that's a rehash of scare pieces from the last few years of open source reporting, not a super-secret military document.

  11. Re:No joke, coffee makers do have an effect on Daylight Savings Time Increases Energy Use In Indiana · · Score: 1

    Most people who drink coffee drink it in the morning no matter when they get up.

  12. Re:Blogger's blog on Malaysia Frees "Anti-Islamic" Blogger · · Score: 1

    >how many countries have an Internal Security Act that allows the >government to detain anyone, without trial, for as long as it wants? I guess you meant this as a sort of negative rhetorical question, but actually most countries have a law approaching this.

  13. PearlGate Publishing on Obama Launches Change.gov · · Score: 1

    The copyright holder of secureourdream.com is PearlGate publishing [http://www.pearlgatepublishing.com/]. It looks like right-wing supporters of Israel/Left Behind. Kind of creepy.

  14. Have you seen ready.gov? on Obama Launches Change.gov · · Score: 1

    If ready.gov is legitimate, then surely change.gov is.

  15. Rendition on Air Force To Rewrite the Rules of the Internet · · Score: 1

    >how do they deal with multiple international jurisdictions? Extraordinary rendition?

  16. Re:More Cases Than Just This on WV Voters Say Machines Are Switching Votes · · Score: 1

    "Because the on site election officials are 90 year old retired people that have no real training or skills with the gear." This makes me really angry. I've had said 90 year old poll workers question if my US Passport was sufficient identification to vote.

  17. I wonder on Half of American Doctors Often Prescribe Placebos · · Score: 1

    I wonder if these same placebo-prescribing doctors scoff at the 'quackery' of acupuncture or chiropractics.

  18. Re:American Science & Surplus on Where to Find Axles, Gears For Kinetic Sculpture? · · Score: 1

    If you ever have a chance to visit them in person in Milwaukee, do it. Wonderful stuff online, but actually going there was like mad scientist disneyland.

  19. Hey has anyone... on TSA Employee Caught With $200K Worth of Stolen Property · · Score: 1

    asked "who watches the watchers" yet?

  20. Go back to Pine on Choosing a Replacement Email System For a University? · · Score: 1

    I always thought Pine worked well enough.

  21. proof on Can Static Electricity Generate Votes? · · Score: 1

    You fool. You've just provided proof of Intelligent Design

  22. Also in Bavaria on Skype Messages Monitored In China · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here is some information on Bavarian police interception of Skype. http://www.wikileaks.org/wiki/Skype_and_SSL_Interception_letters_-_Bavaria_-_Digitask

  23. Alternating Current on Intel Shows Data Centers Can Get By (Mostly) With Little AC · · Score: 1

    At first I thought, "Noooo, Edison's dirty tricks have won out again! Damn you for maligning Tesla with your dog electrocution." Air Conditioning. That's better.

  24. Like Calculus on Should Organic Chemistry Be a Premed Requirement? · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of programs where calculus is required, but not really used. It seems to be used as an arbitrary winnowing mechanism. Maybe organic chemistry is the same.

  25. Re:STDs in prison on Genetic Glitch May Prevent Kids From Learning From Their Mistakes · · Score: 1

    The health problems that result from legal issues and punishment is why I hedged my statement with 'not necessarily.'
