    How do cats factor into this?

  4. Switch to Google on What Went Wrong At Yahoo · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I remember switching to Google back in the day (28.8) and it wasn't because Google was giving better results it was because the Google page would load substantially faster than the Yahoo page.

  5. Re:Wikileaks isn't balanced in it's coverage on Wikileaks To Publish Remaining Afghan Documents · · Score: 2, Informative

    While I do agree with what you are saying Wikileaks doesn't do anything, they just sit around waiting for the phone to ring. So they can't leak what they aren't told.

    >I'd love to see what happened if they leaked 15,000 documents on Israeli operations in the West Bank or posted data on Israeli positions in the Golan.

  6. Re:My favorite feature of this round of Wikileaks. on Wikileaks To Publish Remaining Afghan Documents · · Score: 1

    C) He did a piss poor job of redacting it, and it is very likely people are going to die because of it.

    What you are arrested for and what you are charged with are two separate things

    Flash sucks no doubt but lack of flash sucks even more.

  9. Re:loads in a stopped state? on Flash Ported To iOS and iPhone 4 · · Score: 1

    That's what it does, it basically defaults to the same behavior that flashblock does for Firefox

  12. Re:eye-tracking mouse? on Modded Nintendo Lets You Play Mario With Your Eyes · · Score: 1

    I've looked into this a bit a little while ago there wasn't anything in the general consumer field but there were a few companies who had commercial products. As for practicality there are some problems first while eye tracking is amazing when it comes to making very fast gross movements it falls apart when it comes to fine movements; second there is the Midas Touch problem how do you control what a click is, blinking doesn't really work too well because we do it all the time w/o thinking.

    That being said I'd still love to have one.

  14. Re:And yet- on What's Wrong With the American University System · · Score: 1

    I might be moving the goal posts here but take into consideration that the US has a boat load of universities. Honestly those can be broken into two groups "real" and "joke" universities. If you compare "real" universities in the US to the universities in other countries the one's in the US are more than likely to be better on average. Like I said we have a lot of universities and a lot of them are a joke and the overall average may not look as good for the US, but in discussions about universities the 'joke" schools are usually ignored anyway.

    Care to elaborate, It's been a long day and I'm not getting it.

  18. The bigger problem is the highschools on What's Wrong With the American University System · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The biggest problem with higher education in the USA is it is just a few ticks above what the high-school diploma used to be. IMHO that's because our high-school system is rather poor when it comes down to it. In the end experience is what gets you a job and diploma and degrees simply show that you aren't an absolute idiot. There a lot of jobs that require a degree when there is no need for it.

  19. Re:Conditions Apply on Nuclear Energy Now More Expensive Than Solar · · Score: 1

    But think of the jobs that would be created by having to clear the snow off of the panels

  20. Is this really a problem? on NASA's Top 10 Space Junk Missions · · Score: 1

    19,000 is a lot but this is space we're talking about, it seems like it would be rather easy to avoid. We're no where near the threat of Kessler syndrome.
