  1. Poor Management on Sloppy Biosafety Procedures Found At Federal Disease Center · · Score: 2

    Training is needed for every employee, from the managers to the cleaning people. People need to how to don and doff PPE's and how to properly dispose of contaminated clothing. I worked in a facility with toxic chemicals and always brought clean clothes and took a shower before I left work.

  2. A good ketboard on Ask Slashdot: Good Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    Compaq CQ60. I've used one for many years, no complaints or problems.

  4. So What? on South African Government Issues Plans To Censor Internet · · Score: 1

    Don't care. And a link I would never goto.

  5. That sounds silly. Darwin must be turning over in his grave.

  6. "The Foremost Science Educator"? on Bill Nye Disses "Regular" Software Writers' Science Knowledge · · Score: 1

    I don't think so. He's just a man who liked to draw attention to himself. Who makes this stuff up?

  7. Did You? on In Space, a Laptop Doubles As a VR Headset · · Score: 1

    Did you just say "strap on"? Let the hilarity begin.

  8. Credit Versus Cash on Credit Card Fraud Could Peak In 2015 As the US Moves To EMV · · Score: 1

    I used to vacation around the Southwest US. At that time there wasn't credit fraud like today. Use Cash. It's accepted everywhere.

  9. Re:US: Welcome to the present on Credit Card Fraud Could Peak In 2015 As the US Moves To EMV · · Score: 1

    Faraday Wallet I have one, it's woven from stainless steel http://www.amazon.com/Stewart-... I worked for a local city government and knew the man who worked on all the police and other radios. His workplace was a 20X20X20 shielded, grounded cage. He was smart and enjoyed his work. It's spelled yeah.

  10. No Privacy on Privacy: the 21st Century's Newest Luxury Item · · Score: 2

    This site uses five or more tracking cookies. What the heck? Why pretend to be friendly to users and still use methods to spy on ones visitors?

  11. Click Bait on Two New Male Birth Control Chemicals In Advanced Stages · · Score: 0

    Click Bait.

  12. A Navy Town on Researcher Developing Tattoo Removal Cream · · Score: 1

    I live near San Diego and a friend Rick was from New York City. His idea of going out was to visit the downtown area to have a drink and see the city sights. We stopped in a tattoo place and watched some young navy men getting tats. It was interesting to watch the process but I think people who are heavily tatted have some serious mental problems.

  13. Why Save Everything? on Vint Cerf Warns Against 'Digital Dark Age' · · Score: 1

    Yes, there is good stuff available on the web, but how much is just chatter or background noise? Nothing to see here..... I tend to visit science and tech sites, trying to feed my brain.

  14. Fare Thee Well on Radio Shack Reported To Be Ready for Bankruptcy Filing · · Score: 1

    I shopped there, the staff were helpful and knew about tech info before it was called tech. I bought a build it yourself metal detector there and found a four barrel Sharps derringer buried in a local park. Web shopping has killed many stores, I support local business owners. http://www.nramuseum.org/guns/...

  15. Good Cops on LAPD Orders Body Cams That Will Start Recording When Police Use Tasers · · Score: 1

    When I was in the thirteenth grade I enrolled in Crim 110, the entry level class for cops. I needed a class to fill up my schedule to be a full-time student and met two people who became cops. One a California Highway Patrol officer, the other a San Diego Sheriff. The instructor was a retired police officer who shared many tales about his work. My car broke down when I was driving home from a friend's house and Tom the CHP officer stopped behind me, gave me a ride home, and called for a tow truck to .take my vehicle to my house. .

  16. The NYT on Unbundling Cable TV: Be Careful What You Wish For · · Score: 1

    Who writes this stuff? It's only to attract page views to increase ad rates.

  17. Toilet to Tap on Bill Gates Endorses Water From Human Waste · · Score: 1

    The City of San Diego operated a pilot plant in Mission Valley near Jack Murphy Stadium to process wastewater into drinking water. It worked. I was a Water Plant Operator and know the process is safe when waste plant operators follow the proper procedures. The water produced was just returned to a sewer line 'cause it wasn't allowed to be used for drinking. A local news guy did a feature about the plant and took a drink from a gallon jug of recycled water. All hell broke loose. The State officials went crazy! Another pilot plant used chlorine and UV to disinfect water. That worked, the water lab sampled and tested three times/day.

  18. Very Loud on Why We're Not Going To See Sub-orbital Airliners · · Score: 1

    I saw a Concorde at a air show. The plane was two or three hundred meters away and facing me taxiing to the runway. The noise was amazing, I could feel it as much as I heard it. When it turned to begin the roll out to take off the sound was deafening. Brown Field is a small general aviation airport and the pilot must have had to go full throttle to get up to speed. There's a mountain to the east of the runway. From The LATimes " A business jet carrying a two-person crew and eight members of country singer Reba McEntires entourage crashed into a mountain near the U.S.-Mexico border Saturday morning, killing all 10 people on board.". I worked nearby and the crash site was visible for years. RIP.

  19. Hack My Home on The Missing Piece of the Smart Home Revolution: The Operating System · · Score: 1

    The heat set to 100, the A/C at minus 30, yeah. That's what I want.

  20. Teaching on Better Learning Through Expensive Software? One Principal Thinks Not · · Score: 1

    My high school math teacher should have been at a college or university. Jack Munson had chalk dust flying as he filled the boards with formulas and equations, QED. Students HAD to keep up with him or be lost forever. My brother has a doctorate degree in math from UC Berkeley and I lived in his shadow. "Why aren't you like Pete?" I found a different career and did OK. Tough work conditions but the $money was good. Really good, back when a dollar was worth five dollars. I went to the High Sierras for two weeks at a cost of $200.00.

  21. Re:With blackjack and hookers, I presume? on Private Russian Company Proposes Lunar Base · · Score: 1

    Bender? Is that you?

    This is in the "Gossip" section of the WaPo. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Nothing to see here, move along....

  24. The Best Volcano Crater Name on 'Dark Magma' Could Explain Mystery Volcanoes · · Score: 1

    Ubehebe Crater is located in Death Valley, California. You-Bee-Hee-Bee. There is a place to view the crater from above the rim, really impressive. Death Valley attracts visitors from around the world and I met many travelers at the Stovepipe Wells General Store and at the Texas Spring camp. .
