  1. Obligatory on MIT Creates Chip to Model Synapses · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our robotic overlords!

  2. Pressure kills quality once again on Security Concerns Paramount After Early Reviews of Diaspora Code · · Score: 1

    Imagine the pressure on them. They had $200k of donations to show for and every privacy activist has been following them for months. I bet half those holes would've been patched if it weren't for all the pressure to release.

  3. On the bright side... on White House Cracks Down On Piracy & Counterfeiting · · Score: 1

    If all piracy was done away with, think of all the open source attention. No youth will shell out $200 for Photoshop.

  4. The entire article can be defeated with... on HTML5 vs. Flash — the Case For Flash · · Score: 1

    Smokescreen. It replicates every feature of flash. From what I've seen, there isn't a smidgen of quality difference.

  5. Effort, Reward on How To Get a Game-Obsessed Teenager Into Coding? · · Score: 1

    Little effort, high reward. Then he can grow into enjoying a huge engineering project. When I was 14, I scripted Java bots for Runescape and made phishing sites for it (poorly). I owe Runescape gold my programming skills. Lowly, but an awesome introduction into programming. Try to find something he could get cheap thrills from. Twitter program, perhaps ;)?

  6. Recession Joke on Feds Question Big Media's Piracy Claims · · Score: 1

    In this recession, even the Feds can't afford to buy Photoshop.

  7. Another Factor At Play on Young Men Who Smoke Have Lower IQs · · Score: 1

    I bet they were losing concentration while taking the test since they couldn't smoke.

  8. Re:High School students act like High School stude on New Plan Lets Top HS Students Graduate 2 Years Early · · Score: 1

    I can offer an anecdote here. Through some loopholes in homeschooling graduation requirements I got into my local community college at 16. Before long, I couldn't stand to be friends with most high schoolers. This whole high school mentality perpetuates itself (see: other countries).
