  1. Re:WTF "Czars" on White House To Appoint "Internet Czar" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Nah, I like the idea I heard in another article. We need a Czar Czar to coordinate the activities of all of the Czar's that we are appointing ;)

    And one Czar to bind them all.

  2. Re:A CPU for this? on DIY Microprocessor Sound Level Meter Demoed At MIT · · Score: 1

    It's good to see DIY projects that teach people how things work. The tutorial is very well done and applies to a real world project that a beginner can build.

    Understanding how to bias a transistor to get the results needed is valuable.

  3. Re:deniers come out in 3 .. 2 .. 1 .. on Ocean Circulation Doesn't Work As Expected · · Score: 1

    That was pushed aside by the Beanie baby bubble which was replaced by the Dot Gone bubble and the Y2K bubble. Those were forgotten when Wall St invented monetizing liabilities. That bubble extinguished itself by consuming all the wealth on the planet. Now they are working on monetizing CO2. It will probably be known as the Green Bubble.

    It wasn't software bugs. It was an inappropriate model with bad assumptions combined with excessive leverage.

  5. Re:I call bullshit, maybe on Computer Spies Breach $300B Fighter-Jet Project · · Score: 1

    This is either bs or fear mongering to justify some future action.

  6. Not her fault on Woman Claims Ubuntu Kept Her From Online Classes · · Score: 1

    Computers are not appliances but they are marketed as such. I've helped several people with similar problems. A newbie does not know where to start. Calling a service provider like Verizon or AT&T is not much help if you can't run the CD they supplied. Calling the vendor is usually not much better. I contacted the newspaper and left my contact info. I can help her over the phone. The way to spread Linux is to help people that are trying to use it.
