  1. typo in headline on The Math Formula That Lead To the Financial Crash · · Score: 4, Informative

    The past tense of lead is "led", not "lead". When "lead" is pronounced like "led", it's a metal. This mistake pops up everywhere. Correcting it here won't fix anything, but when someone on the internet is wrong, duty calls.

  2. Q: if you drop a banjo and an accordion on Banjo Used In Brain Surgery · · Score: 2, Funny

    off a skyscraper, which one hits the ground first?

    A. Who cares?

  3. here's a pretty good article on Co$/Sears/Allstate on Lust After The Sony Clie NZ90 · · Score: 1
  4. Power protects power on Judge Thinks Delete Should Mean Delete · · Score: 1

    The idea here is to protect corporations and government agencies, not citizens. If there's something on my hard disk that they want for whatever reason, they'll do some handwaving and get it, because laws are selectively enforced. This idea is presented as if it might help the little guy, but its transparent intent is to immunize institutional criminals, the Firestones and the White Houses, etc.

  5. Re:Slashback on Slashback: Quakery, Lifespans, Barcodes · · Score: 1

    Wow. Never heard of him. Setting Score >= 2 squelches out noisemakers beautifully. Having read his farewell message, I truly hope he gets well soon, difficult as that is for someone so heavily clouded over.

  6. Re:milli- or micro-? on Slashback: Sex, Freiheit, Differentiation · · Score: 1

    Um, "us".
