  1. Driving on the lawn ? on US Postal Service To Make Sunday Deliveries For Amazon · · Score: -1, Offtopic

  2. Re:Education data systems rely on teacher input on All Your Child's Data Are Belong To InBloom · · Score: 1
    Why the system isn't design with default status of an assignment is "teacher didn't report yet" instead of just "failed" ?

    I would be easier to point out teachers not doing their part and prevent parents from freaking out.

  3. Re:Likely outcome on UK Cryptographers Call For UK and US To Out Weakened Products · · Score: 1

    Why would you ask the government to do it? They were caught red handed in the first place!

  4. Re:Genitals on Dogs Trained To Sniff Out Ovarian Cancer · · Score: 1

    I wonder if we can train fish to do the same, that would be more useful that loosing the nuts... http://www.stuff.co.nz/oddstuff/9031874/Testicle-eating-fish-warning

  5. This will be regulated at some point... on Ask Slashdot: Should Bitcoin Be Regulated? · · Score: 1

    No, there is not intrinsic value, unlike gold. So when one day, nobody will accept your nice stack of bitcoins as payment you won't be able to do anything with those. If this is not regulated before, this will be regulated at that point because "We lost a lot of money, how did this happen? Why the government was asleep at the wheel and did not regulate that shadow bank?"

  12. Re:karma? on Transplant Surgeon Called Dibs On Steve Jobs' Home · · Score: 1

    Yea, sure, public health care is much better ....
    Go to the UK and see how they decide to give you treatment for one eye only and not two, or to deny you cancer treatment because you are "too old"... people go abroad to get treatments.
    Same goes for Canada and soon for the US as well.

  15. Re:Valleys and Language on Study Suggests the Number-Line Concept Is Not Intuitive · · Score: 1

    There is a an excellent book explaining different systems to deal with spacial positioning: http://www.amazon.com/Through-Language-Glass-Different-Languages/dp/080508195X I won't summarize the book here, but think of a culture which uses only four cardinal points resembling our North South East West to describe positioning. This leads to funny situations when describing a painting or a TV scene, the direction depends on ... the position of the painting/TV ("the bad guy came from the East") as oposed to a relative positioning system ("the bad guy came from behind").

  18. Re:Freedom vs. localism on Swiss Voters Reject Book Price Controls · · Score: 1

    For books in French, amazon.fr ships for free in Switzerland on order above 20 EUR (since last year).

    Amazon.de ships for free with no minimum amount, so that's for the books in German.

    And for the books in English you get them where the price is the lowest.

    And as written on te post website, the upper limit of the goods value (incl. transport costs) for an import exempt from VAT is:

    8% VAT (the majority of items sent) => CHF 62

    2,5% VAT (e.g. books) => CHF 200.
