  1. half as much as Chernobyl? on Fukushima's Fallout Worse Than Thought · · Score: 3, Informative

    thats rather significant http://xkcd.com/radiation/

  2. Re:Nice car on Meet the Virginia-Built 110MPG X-Prize Car · · Score: 1

    there's also the consideration that Edison2 doesn't plan on producing the car for mass market anyway... however, its already been driven around Charlottesville with a reporter inside...so technically they failed to keep it off the road (referencing the NPR article from their main page today).

  3. gas engine ftw on Meet the Virginia-Built 110MPG X-Prize Car · · Score: 1

    whoda thunk such a thing could come from Lynchburg (manufacturing-wise)...i was pleasantly surprised when i heard about this a few months back.

  4. Re:sharks with lasers on How Can I Make Testing Software More Stimulating? · · Score: 1

    maybe you should turn testing into a drinking game. Take a shot every time a bug is found. but seriously, you could outsource testing: http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2008/02/15/229432/autistic-people-prove-valuable-in-software-testing.htm

  5. Re:Work account? on Web-Based Private File Storage? · · Score: 1

    Solution: Don't do personal stuff on your work account...

    better solution: host your own email server at home.

    yeah your electricity bill is going to increase and you'll need decent reliable internet.

    Personally, i use Gmail and expect no privacy.

  6. Re:United States Government Accountability Office? on Top Secret America · · Score: 1

    conclusion i reached after perusing the website:
    Get your daily dose of fear-mongering: http://projects.washingtonpost.com/top-secret-america/ While there are some valid points; they're completely over-shadowed by irrelevant statistical data based on convenient assumptions and horse turds so large you'd think the poor equine has Elephantiasis of the colon. But hey, they're painted purple; which makes it ok. Do i hear kittens mewing?
    my point:
    freedom of information (transparency) is great and all but things are (or at least started off to be) classified for a reason. So maybe there needs to be some review process (improvements?) for such things by qualified individuals.
    However, that doesn't warrant such a website as this. Nor should i make the comment about turds; but they started it.

  7. Re:Hyperbole on Pacific Trash Vortex To Become Habitable Island? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "... you may have to drag a net for a couple of thousand zig-zagging miles to do it.

    Gulf fisherman could be paid to do that instead of not fishing

  8. Re:carbon nanotubes. on UK Designer Grows Clothes From Bacteria · · Score: 2, Interesting
  9. Re:Fill 'er up! on DTV Transition - One Year Later · · Score: 1

    You could always give them to a thrift store or electronics recycling.

  10. LINK: on St. Louis Museum Offers Thrills, Chills, and Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    It appears to be slashdotted. Service Unavailable. I guess the web administrator is in the jungle gym...

    after a quick googling: http://www.citymuseum.org/3D.html (have fun with quicktime)
