  1. Re:he is right on Six Questions To Ask Before Telecommuting · · Score: 1

    im working from home since 2 years. and its true that home becomes half a workplace after some time. its not a total work place, not a total relaxation place, but becomes something in between. you are never as stressful as at work, or relaxed as at home. you live in an optimal point in the limbo between them. half ready to work all the time, half ready to have fun all the time. weird.

    I have noticed that too. But overall I am much happier working from home rather than having to travel. One of the major benefits for me from working from home is that I don't eat fast food. My health has improved since I started telecommuting.

  2. Re:Police thugs on "War On Terror" Board Game Confiscated In UK · · Score: 1

    This is why I agree with the song "Cop Killer." The police have become the criminals.

  3. Re:obvious on How Can You Measure a Wiki's Worth? · · Score: 1

    by using metrics of course

    Or you can use imperial units if you want to torture yourself.

  4. Re:Well, if that's the way they want it on Airline Cancels All Flights Booked Through Third-Party Systems · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What if all airlines take up a similar policy? What are you going to do then, hm?

    Stay home.

    I'll drive. Wait, that's what I already do. Screw the airlines and especially the TSA.

  5. Re:Oxygene on ISS Gets New Recycling Gear, Ready For Larger Crew · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the e is on the wrong end. So it should be e-oxygen, oxygen for the web.

  6. Re:Interesting on Michael DeBakey, Consummate Medical Geek, Dead At 99 · · Score: 1

    Methodist Hospital announced, without specifying the cause of death.

    Why do I have a feeling he died from a heart attack?

    It is certainly possible. At that age, it isn't uncommon for the major organs to give out. According the summary, he has had trouble with his heart before, so I wouldn't be surprised at all.

  7. Re:Interesting... on ACLU Files Lawsuit Challenging FISA · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is why I fear that a revolution may be the only option left for our country. It really is unfortunate that the two major candidates have decided to take a daily crap on the Constitution.

  8. Re:'ripeness' is valid on Court Refuses To Rule On ECPA Warrantless E-mail Searches · · Score: 1

    The claim of 'not yet ripe' is a really lame excuse so that they don't have to rule on this, those lazy bastards. A blatant violation of the fourth amendment is not acceptable. It is really sad when our judges refuse to protect the constitution.

  9. Re:He's dead Jim on What Happened To Palm? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Things are getting a bit hairy at Palm!

  10. Re:Links? on Blogger Launches 'Google Bomb' At McCain · · Score: 1

    Libertarians are just Republicans who refuse the Religious Right's political support.

    Libertarians also do not support the Republican's (and the Democrat's) blatant violations of the Constitution.

  11. Re:In other news, on DoE-Sponsored Project Readies Human Trial For Artificial Retinas · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, I was laughing, man!

  12. So... on Google Begat the End of the Scientific Method? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So everything possible has been researched now and therefore no more research is necessary since it will all be on the internet? Ridiculous!

  13. Re:Links? on Blogger Launches 'Google Bomb' At McCain · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Thanks. I was hoping that one of the nine would be McCain violating the campaign finance laws. Oh well, so much for exposing corruption in politics.

    Disclaimer: I am a Libertarian and I hate the two main political parties.

  14. Re:I take it by the name..... on Light-Emitting Particles Yield Faster Computing · · Score: 1

    We're talking about a faster porn delivery system. This quote kind of says it all,

    ""Excitons are formed by linking a negatively-charged electron with a positively-charged 'hole'."

    I think it is a bit dangerous to mention "hole" and "porn" together in the same post.

  16. Re:Binary groups on Verizon Cutting Access To Entire Alt.* Usenet Hierarchy · · Score: 1

    I am on Verizon, and I currently do not use Usenet. If they want to engage in censorship of the legal stuff, then I will start using Usenet in protest of the censorship. I believe the route around the damage is by using TOR. What other methods are there?

  17. Re:Wrong on TSA Bans Flight If You Refuse To Show ID · · Score: 1

    Fuck DHS and the TSA. Fuck them and the horse they rode in on. They're far worse (if they aren't yet, they will be, just wait) than any terrorist ever could be. I completely agree; Thousands of Stupid Assholes indeed. Unfortunately, the sheeple either are not paying attention or simply don't care. They are the source of this problem and need a swift kick in the head to wake them up.
  18. Re:Neat, it is very much like... on Prism Glass Windows Making a Comeback · · Score: 1

    To clarify, I was referring to the light tube system. The article is a bit confusing.

  19. Re:Neat, it is very much like... on Prism Glass Windows Making a Comeback · · Score: 1

    The other advantage of this system over traditional windows or skylights is that there is less heat loss. I also hope the price comes down; this is a very good idea.
