  1. Re:funny on Facebook Testing $100 Fee To Mail Mark Zuckerberg · · Score: 1

    Ya, I am sure his inbox already has a few hundred thousand unread messages from non-friends. I think the real story hear is that it is for all non-friends to anyone, not just him.

  2. Answer is in the Name on Why Do Entrepreneurs Innovate Better Than Managers? · · Score: 1

    Managers manage. They are hired to manage a company/group/project, not to create a new company/group/project. Also if someone calls themselves a manager, they are psychologically predisposing themselves to managing, not creating.
    While the word Entrepreneurs evokes creating and innovating.

    In the same way if you hired a Software Engineer you will get different results on the same tasks as if you hired a Programmer. Both because different people will apply and you will likely will have a differently worked list is responsibilities, but also just because of the differences in the title.

  4. Who? on US Attorney Chided Swartz On Day of Suicide · · Score: 5, Informative

    Swartz was an American computer programmer, writer, archivist, political organizer, and Internet activist. Swartz co-authored the "RSS 1.0" specification of RSS, and built the Web site framework web.py and the architecture for the Open Library. He also built Infogami, a company that merged with Reddit in its early days, through which he became an equal owner of the merged company.

    On January 6, 2011, Swartz was arrested in connection with systematic downloading of academic journal articles from JSTOR, which became the subject of a federal investigation.[2][3] JSTOR offended Swartz mainly for two reasons: it charged large fees for access to these articles but did not compensate the authors and it ensured that huge numbers of people are denied access to the scholarship produced by America's colleges and universities.[4][5] On January 11, 2013, Swartz was found dead in his Crown Heights, Brooklyn, apartment, where he had hanged himself.

  5. Re:Not going to fly on Anonymous Files Petition To Make DDoS Legal Form of Protest · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that protests were not supposed to disrupt people and businesses. I was under the impression that 1 or 5 peole could not stand in front of a Mcdonalds doorway and protest by not allowing an customers in. I was under the impression that sure a crowd could accidentally slow down business, it could not intentionally make it impossible for citizens to do legal activities, and could simply get their message across with words, signs, and obvious passion.

  10. Re:The truth is on Standard Kilogram Gains Weight · · Score: 1

    Don't we measure atoms all the time. A kilogram can just be a carbon atom (or some other stable larger molecule) times some large number.
    The only thing that is not going to change mass constantly is an atom

  11. Re:Really? on Standard Kilogram Gains Weight · · Score: 1

    Well actually it kind of sounds like they are. They chose a standard KG weight that would increase in mass over time at different and unmeasurable amounts, with no way to stop or reverse this.

    I think that is a pretty good definition of retarded.

    They have the authority to demand FB passwords, that you install a program on your personal computer to they can monitor you, and register all your firearms with them as well. That does not make any of those things right or something that would survive an actual legal battle.

    How many people commented to say: "Good, they do not have a right to a job, they can just go work somewhere else"
    Also commented in condemnation of corporations requiring Facebook and other social media passwords.

    Also AAPS is not making any spectacular claim. They have stated that their is no empirical evidence based studies to back up any forced vaccine laws. If their is not, it is simply bad science to assume something works and force it on everyone. End of story, I do not care if the AAPS is crazy most of the time; That is how science works, it does not matter who it comes from.

    The rule of law and flawed individuals given near infinite power (aka the police) are two different things.
    Lots of people do not trust them, and they have many logical reasons not to.

    And anarchy is different than the understanding that you just do not rat to the police.
    Everyone does something illegal once in a while, reasonable people do not go running to the police everything they see a minor offence.

    Getting neighbor to rat on neighbor is the first sign of fascism. It happened in Germany, and it happened in Babylon 5; To name a few.
