  4. right now the Stormfront site is the #2 result. on Google Responds On Skewed Holocaust Search Results (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm in the US. The top response right now is a SearchEngineLand story about how Google changed something so that the Stormfront site is no longer the #1 result.

  5. Re:Also I bet dolls didn't wake up 4 times per nig on Robot Babies Not Effective Birth Control, Australian Study Finds (sky.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Does the robot baby have a colic mode? A persistent and painful ear infection mode?

  6. Re:Or they offer too little on Spain Runs Out of Workers With Almost 5 Million Unemployed (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I wish I had mod points.

  7. Yes! It sounds suspiciously like the person in charge of depositing "paperwork" in the round file.

    I wish I had mod points. Highly informative.

    "They sound pretty sketchy..." The Statement of Accreditation Status report from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education for Excelsior College (accrediting body) is here: http://www.msche.org/documents/SAS/170/Statement%20of%20Accreditation%20Status.htm The list of institutions accredited by Middle States is here: http://www.msche.org/institutions_directory.asp I won't bother to link the school's own statement on how they assess prior learning and consolidate it into a degree, but that's on Excelsior's website. The stated aim of the programs is to help adult, mid-career students finish their degrees.

  12. Re:Exit Interviews are always flowery on Being Honest In Exit Interviews Is Pointless · · Score: 1

    Yes - like "I cannot say too many good things about my boss or recommend him too highly! No person would be better in his job."

  13. Re:When people abuse prices go up on Best Buy Scans Drivers License For Returns — No More Allowed For 90 Days · · Score: 1

    Yikes. I prefer to help grow our flagging economy by refusing to buy any more than one item that there is even the slightest risk I might have to return every 90 days.

  14. Re:Palin on Congresswoman and Staff Gunned Down · · Score: 1

    Hehe, thanks for adopting the impersonal tone while informing me that my "argument" needs to be rational. You could have just come out and called me irrational, I suppose. Your view still doesn't make sense to me. But have a nice day.

  15. Re:Palin on Congresswoman and Staff Gunned Down · · Score: 1

    Whatever. You can't see the connection; I see it clearly.

  16. Re:Palin on Congresswoman and Staff Gunned Down · · Score: 1

    Yes however you cannot target an entire district of the state of Arizona while discussing defeating a candidate in the election in that district. You are correct if you are saying that Ms. Palin did not actually paste pictures of the Democrats to be disposed of on the map; I'm saying that she didn't need to.

  17. Re:Palin on Congresswoman and Staff Gunned Down · · Score: 1

    Oh for cryin' in a bucket. There are three Arizona names in the three different Arizona districts where the cross hairs are placed on Palin's map. (http://www.facebook.com/notes/sarah-palin/dont-get-demoralized-get-organized-take-back-the-20/373854973434) Yes, Palin had a cross hair graphic for each target candidate, including Gabby Gifford. Look again.

  18. all that is fine, but on Journal Article On Precognition Sparks Outrage · · Score: 1

    Where are the comments on the apparent psychic porn detection abilities of student experimental subjects?
    (from the article: A software program randomly posted a picture behind one curtain or the other — but only after the participant made a choice. Still, the participants beat chance, by 53 percent to 50 percent, at least when the photos being posted were erotic ones.)

  19. Re:e.e. cummings approves on Google Wants To Take Away Your Capslock Key · · Score: 1

    The use of all caps is standard on most (all?) engineering blueprints and drawings.

    Capslock also necessary on APA format papers which require running headers with the title of the paper in all caps. I just don't want to hold down the SHIFT key while I type in the title even one time.

  20. Re:Chess on Have I Lost My Gaming Mojo? · · Score: 1

    Yes, because getting older means that you can't have fun.

    The older that I get, the more I realise that maturity isn't about being stiff, serious and trying to appear "adult", it's about having fun doing what you enjoy without caring about what anyone else might think of it. I might have thought the way you did ten years ago, but gradually I just stopped caring about appearances.

    I wish I had mod points. I'll be 60 my next birthday and I love games. Never been any good at chess, admire folks who have the mind for it. I liked PnP D&D, would still play with a patient and reasonably civil group. Play some F2P mmos, loved DAO, can't wait for the next one. People are different; don't let anyone tell you how to act, whatever age you are.

    Good lord, really? I've been watching it sporadically for a decade or so and only noticed that they started really pushing wrestling within the past year or so.

    Now they just threw it away (nerds don't want to watch wrasslin').

    yeah, what the heck was that about -- they renamed it "SyFy" to appeal to more women and then put wrestling on there. My head asplode.
