  1. Judge Sanders is the worst example... on Judge Seeks Ban on Legal Software · · Score: 1

    > Examples include the socialist "Robin Hood" school funding fiasco.

    I assume you are talking about money moving from rich school districts to poorer school districts.

    Same thing is happening in New Hampshire, where there is no sales tax AND no income tax. In wealthy towns with few children, property taxrate is much lower than in poor towns where folks tend to have more kids. If Texas' system is anything like this monstrocity, then Judge Sanders is a hero, so says I.

    There's nothing in the constitution that says that wealthy people can pay much lower taxes and get much better public schools than poor folks.


  2. Will Tim O'Reilly sue? on Review:The Story about Ping · · Score: 1

    Doesn't he have some trademark for technical manuals with animals on the cover?

    Oh, this was written in 1933? That shouldn't matter! I'm sure the patent office wouldn't view it as prior art.

  3. Oops, not SIGHTNSOUND.COM on Company Demands 1% Share of Online Music Profit · · Score: 1

    I somehow got it in my head that this company was www.sightnsound.com, not www.sightsound.com.

    Sight 'n Sound looks like a much more interesting company (at least if you've got a bar mitzvah coming up).

  4. Small World on Realtime Gaming Patent... · · Score: 1

    Oh my God, I think one of the "inventors" used to be a roommate of mine!

    I'll have to try to get back in touch with him, maybe ask for a loan....

  5. Exactly One Reason To Watch on Dilbert, the cartoon, UPN 7:00 Tonight · · Score: 1

    Chris Eliot as the voice of Dogbert.


    'nuff said.

  6. Can someone fill me in here? on Dilbert, the cartoon, UPN 7:00 Tonight · · Score: 1

    On your line-up it's listed as


    74 WSBK UPN

    That would be channel 38 in Boston MA USA, longtime TV home of the Boston Bruins hockey team.

  7. And why should I trust Marcus Welby anyway? on Robert Young on Linux and Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I mean, if the baby has a rash, I'd rush out to Robert Young. I mean, he's such a convincing family doctor. But who does he think he is pontificating about desktop operating systems?

    Sheeesh.
