  1. Forgive Me But Someone Has To Point Out That... on Daylight Savings Time Puts Kid in Jail for 12 Days · · Score: 1

    It's "Daylight Saving Time," not "Daylight Savings Time." There's a difference. For an explanation on this and all things DST, see http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html.

  2. Re:pong on The Ten Most Important Games · · Score: 1

    Zork ( Commercial, closed source) was based on "Colossal Cave Adventure" or "Adventure" ( Free, open source!!). In fact, because of the limitations back then on PC software, Zork implemented only a portion of Adventure. Zork II and Zork III filled in the missing portions of Adventure.

  3. Return? Did We Ever Leave? on Shuttle Discovery Lifts Off · · Score: 1

    I suppose American astronauts just snuck aboard those Russian flights to the International Space Station for the last two years? Guvmint knew nothin' about it?

  4. Null Task = $175 Million on Senator Calls on NASA to Service Hubble · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's costing the U.S. taxpayers $175 million for NASA to determine it won't do anything to save the Hubble? Why does it take so much money to decide go/nogo? (Don't answer that. I already know: It's the government bureaucracy, stoopid.)

    If they've already decided, what were they planning on spending that $175m on?

  5. A Future For Public Libraries? on At the Library: a Briefly Vocal Minority · · Score: 1

    One has to wonder whether or not public libraries have much of a future in this country. What with them allowing people free access to CDs, videos, and books. Could the RIAA and the MPAA be far off? And free access to the Internet? How unAmerican! It's as though they expect a return for their DARPA R&D tax dollars.
