    Get a dropbox account and then drop a 2GB true-crypt volume in it, you're all good

    There is one, it just needs better advertisement.

  3. Re:NPC village mod (trade, quests, building...) on Minecraft Wins Gaming Arts Award · · Score: 1

    This sounds very interesting, but I'm going to pass. The amount of time I've put into Minecraft with no real direction is scary; adding quests or anything that resembles a goal would be bad news.

  4. Re:They're impossible to fire on Federal Contractors Are $600 Screwdrivers · · Score: 1

    Why didn't they have him thrown in jail, or would he still pull a paycheck and it would be better to get some work out of him?

    It's the only way to be sure.

    Personally I like it when people write Microsoft as M$, it means whatever they have to say isn't worth reading.

    The first one was an AC so I'd be willing to bet they are the same person.

  10. Re:Federal Law State Law on Legal Tender? Maybe Not, Says Louisiana Law · · Score: 1

    Because when you take it to the register to buy, you are only making an offer to purchase. There is nothing that says they can't introduce an additional term of no cash to the agreement.

    I was going to say why don't you just link to the relevant XKCD but I can't find it.

  13. Re:I would prefer on Original Content Coming To YouTube? · · Score: 1

    So much this, YouTube has been unusable for me for the last few months. It would be one thing if I could click on a video and walk away waiting for the entire thing to load, but it will only load part of the video and once I click play it won't load the rest faster than the video plays.

  19. Re:Cap Gains vs. Income on White House Proposes "Wealthy Tax" · · Score: 2

    Actually I'd like to add 0% cap gain for the first $10k, that would provide a nice incentive for more people to invest.

  20. Re:Tax planning and rich people on White House Proposes "Wealthy Tax" · · Score: 2

    Google is NOT dodging taxes they are avoiding them. Dodging is where you don't pay taxes (illegal), avoiding is where you play the tax game(legal).

  21. Washoe is amazing on Wild Parrots Learning To Talk From Escaped Pet Birds · · Score: 5, Interesting

    One of Washoe's caretakers was pregnant and missed work for many weeks after she miscarried. Roger Fouts recounts the following situation:
    "People who should be there for her and aren't are often given the cold shoulder--her way of informing them that she's miffed at them. Washoe greeted Kat [the caretaker] in just this way when she finally returned to work with the chimps. Kat made her apologies to Washoe, then decided to tell her the truth, signing "MY BABY DIED". Washoe stared at her, then looked down. She finally peered into Kat's eyes again and carefully signed "CRY", touching her cheek and drawing her finger down the path a tear would make on a human. (Chimpanzees don't shed tears.) Kat later remarked that that one sign told her more about Washoe and her mental capabilities than all her longer, grammatically perfect sentences."[22]
