  1. He's pulling our lariat on How Much Math Do We Really Need? · · Score: 1

    Methinks the troll tag on this article is most appropriate. I almost spit my Cheerios on the floor yesterday when I read Dr. Ramanathan's article in my local fish wrap. I'm guessing his intent was to proffer the most basic straw man so as to spur discussion as to how to make math education more effective in modern society. I offer this forum as my first point of evidence.

  2. Re:Missing something on Best Way To Land Entry-Level Job? · · Score: 1

    Hey, pizza doesn't deliver itself.

  3. Re:This DRM makes no sense whatsoever on EA Editor Criticizes Command & Conquer 4 DRM · · Score: 1

    There's a legion of pointy haired bosses who lead staffs of developers charged with applying DRM. They have a keen interest in seeing DRM applied in any and all situations. Further, they aren't shy about warning their respective executive chain about the horrors the business would experience in the absence of DRM.

  4. Re:Cool on Balloon and Duct Tape Deliver Great Space Photos · · Score: 1

    He's not European, he's English.

  5. Re:Failsafe recovery? on Long-Running Underwater Robot Lost At Sea · · Score: 1

    Did anyone think to look inside the Woods Hole?

  6. Re:Hmm... on FCC Asks You To Test Your Broadband Speeds · · Score: 1

    Aicrules also told the census that he lives in a mud hut in lower Manhattan as one of 47 Maasi warriors who emigrated from Tanzania in 1997 and all live off a household income of $879,321,487 generated by sending Viagra spam from the server farm located in the basement of their hut.

  7. Re:A motorcycle for flying on The World's First Commercially Available Jetpack · · Score: 1

    This would be a perfect application for an aircraft recovery parachute. http://www.brsparachutes.com/ Too bad Steve Fossett didn't have one.

  8. Re:Uh huh on "Frickin' Fantastic" Launch of NASA's Ares I-X Rocket · · Score: 1

    Fortunately, NASA made provisions for this possibility by purchasing kidnap insurance on all their launch vehicles.

  9. Re:time to update headline on Hulu May Begin Charging For Content Next Year · · Score: 1

    Dream on! They know exactly what the market will bear for video entertainment and will push their price up close to that of other distribution mechanisms. My guess is that they'll add a bunch of "features" and demand $20-$30/month all the while claiming to be cheaper than cable and satellite and therefore the most economical alternative.

  10. Robotic Rescue on Skiing Robot May Not Be Useful, But Fun To Watch · · Score: 1

    Will a robotic St. Bernard assist in case of avalanche?

  11. Re:Life imitates Gilligan's Island on Cosmic Radiation Makes Trees Grow Faster · · Score: 1

    Good pop culture reference, but the wrong one. The Little Rascals and their "invisible rays" hit this nail on the head decades prior to Gilligan. http://www.tv.com/little-rascals/robot-wrecks/episode/220468/summary.html

  12. Seasonal Effects? on Cassini's Primary Mission Ends, Two-Year Extension Begins · · Score: 1

    Isn't trying to study Saturn's seasonal effects over a two year period like trying to study Earth's seasonal effects during a three week visit in February?
