  1. Re:Real or trained response on Air Canada Ordered To Provide Nut-Free Zone · · Score: 1

    I wonder if some of the reactions that people with allergies have when exposure is very low are trained responses. Like Pavlov's dog, ring the bell and start salivating, smell peanut butter and start choking.

    I absolutely agree with this. I have terrible seasonal allergies and just watching any of the variety of commercials with a pretty lady spinning around in a sea of summer flowers is enough to make my nose start running and my eyes start itching--because of the implied pollen of course, not that I am allergic to pretty ladies.

  2. Re:short answer? on Will the New RIAA Tactic Boost P2P File Sharing? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I predict the following strategy:

    1) Stop suing.
    2) Collect data on the rise of file-sharing to justify their lawsuits.
    3) Start suing
    4) ???
    5) Profit.

    Well, I'm not sure about #5.

  3. Re:This sounds hilarious eh I mean fun on Oregon AG Seeks to Investigate RIAA Tactics · · Score: 1

    Actually, Oregon only has a few blue metro areas - the rest of the state is very red. Many votes are split 50/50 in the state.

    I'll take real books please. No batteries required.

  5. Re:Chrono-noobs! on Vote To Eliminate Leap Seconds · · Score: 1

    So do our clocks leap forward or fall back during a leap second? What if it happens in the spring? I can't keep any of this straight. Let's get rid of daylight savings while we are at it.
