  1. That American Cancer Society... on Long Island Town Enacts Tough Cell Tower Limits · · Score: 2, Insightful
    From TFA:

    'Our position is we want to be more proactive.' said Jody Turk-Goldberg, co-founder of a civic group called 'Moms of Merrick,' which discounts pronouncements by groups like the American Cancer Society that conclude there is scant evidence that cell towers are a health hazard. 'We saw what the tobacco companies did years ago; everybody said smoking was safe,' she added

    You know those blasted scientists and the American Cancer Society, definitely in the pocket of "Big Cell Phone"

    But look just how much she's into the letter of the law, she'd make a great judge! :/

  3. Re:Not sensitive on Thumbprints Used To Check Books Out of School Library · · Score: 1

    So when the librarian is standing there watching you press a gummy bear up to the scanner, he or she is not going to be a little suspicious?

  4. Re:Devil's Advocate on Why Computer Science Students Cheat · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but if you can't write the things you learn about in your introductory CS class you won't understand what you're copying anyway. People love preaching how The Real World (tm) works, but if people are coming out of college not KNOWING anything they can't even copy code correctly. Knowing how to do it is important. Actually doing it _again_ is not.

    Supporting professors? Hardly. That's what grad student research is for!

  6. The Microsoft recruiters had them on Microsoft Employees Love Their iPhones · · Score: 1

    Even the Microsoft recruiters who came to our school had them. They use them because they work well. One of them told us they'd had conversations with the Windows mobile folks telling them that if they made something worth using they'd switch back.

    Have you seen how terrible the drivers in Florida are?
