  1. Re:Somebody call the waaaambulance on High-Frequency Programmers Revolt Over Pay · · Score: 1

    What country is this that everyone not in management by 30 is a loser? In order to give the term some meaning, I can only imagine that you've either got a ridiculous corporate structure, or an equally ridiculous mortality rate.

  2. Re:What could go wrong? on Innocent Until Predicted Guilty · · Score: 1

    Taco Bell isn't considered fine dining yet, so we still have further to fall.

  3. Re:we need to end drug prohibition on Mexico Decriminalizes Small-Scale Drug Possession · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Not to nitpick, but the cutting accuracy issue is with drugs that have a close effective and lethal dose. LSD's high potency has little to do with it.

    Actually, at least in the case of MDMA, the adulterants are, in fact, the issue:

    "Testing kits are needed because many pills sold on the illicit market as "ecstasy" are fake and do not actually contain MDMA. Fake pills often contain drugs more dangerous than MDMA, including dangerous drug combinations, or drugs that are especially dangerous when mixed with MDMA (as often happens if someone takes more than one pill in a night)." ----from http://www.dancesafe.org/testingkits/

    In the meantime, the Russian Space program has a fantastic opportunity in front of them to make the Guiness Book for longest running Dungeons and Dragons session ever.

  5. Before he wrecks himself? on Volunteers Simulate Mission To Mars · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Working in such conditions requires that a person be able to check himself, evaluate his condition in relation to the crew and in relation to mission control and be able to correct himself," said Boris V. Marukov, the experiment's director and a former crew member on the International Space Station."

    Translating Ice Cube lyrics from Russian is terribly complicated.

    So does this mean I'll be able to sue ninjas in small claims court?

  7. Re:Lends a whole new meaning to "Electric" guitar! on Guitar Hero, On a Real Guitar, To Hit Shelves In 2009 · · Score: 1

    Electric shock for wrong notes? As if listening to myself play wasn't punishment enough.

  8. Re:"Everything in moderation" on Diet of Fast Food and Candy May Cause Alzheimer's · · Score: 1

    Such as refined sugar. It's amazing how hard it is to find a decent lunch in some places that isn't full of sugar. This bothers me because it did lead to a degenerative disease in me -- I'm diabetic.

    A little clarity here about symptoms and causes: eating sugar doesn't contribute to diabetes; getting fat off eating sugar does. Conceivably, if I ate enough of the stuff to gain 40 pounds, brussel sprouts could cause diabetes as well (not to mention increasing my risk of major depression by a few orders of magnitude).
