  1. Re:Correlation is not Causation on Requiring Algebra II In High School Gains Momentum · · Score: 1

    Yes it can, but from what I have seen is that it requires a teacher who loves math and has a fairly deep understanding of it (by which I mean when I ask why this equals that, they can show the proof and explain it). I am amazed how so few people who should know, have never heard of a 3-4-5 triangle, one of my best friends actually.

    WTH? Now religion gets you hyphenated status?

  3. Re:In others news .... on Drug Runners Perfect Long-Range Subs · · Score: 1

    Actually it should bee easy to detect, it is a homemade sub and the odds of it hiding from sonar are nil, just like the odds of the govt using sonar to listen for it.

    Of course the other aspect, diet is not mentioned, and it can have influence on your bone density.....nah let's jump on the cell phone is danger bandwagon!

  7. Re:just wondering on US Military Deploys Personal Gunshot Detectors · · Score: 1

    The problem with subsonic ammunition is that is is low powered and has ballistic characteristics that are very different from normal ammunition; as well there is usually not sufficient power to cycle a semi automatic gun. With silencers...well they need to be cleaned about every 10 shots to maintain effectiveness, let us also not forget that most combatants will not be worried about noise!

  8. Re:GJ GOOGLE on Google Finally Uses Remote Kill Switch On Malware · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well considering that Google fixed something a 3rd party created and that Microsoft is the creator of the problem in it's systems I fail to see the correlation.

    But now the problem is to have any credibility you need to be recognized by another nation; to that end as the dictator of Free Republic of Jim I hearby do recognize the Republic of Bob as a sovereign nation.

    Also consider that there are paywalls for content found to be free on the original (?) site! I guess this means fixya and related will stop being the top results?

  14. Re:Naval gunnery occurred far more often ... on Rediscovering WWII's Top-Secret Computing 'Rosies' · · Score: 1

    My point though is how many of those were one ship firing directly on another? Planes did most of the ship sinking. I brought up battleships because many think they slugged it out often, when the opposite is true.....but what a sight to see!

  15. Re:Not getting any cheaper either on Why Dumbphones Still Dominate, For Now · · Score: 2

    Often it is about coverage. I live in south Dakota and Verizon is the only one with coverage dang near everywhere so if we want cell coverage out in the sticks we are stuck. however I agree to a point with if you pay it they will charge. 30 bucks a month for unlimited data. Data is digital, is 1 or 0. Voice is digital, is either 1 or 0. Difference?

  16. Re:Common practice on Rediscovering WWII's Top-Secret Computing 'Rosies' · · Score: 2

    Umm, you know that there were very few (less than 10?) ship to ship battles in WWII right? And even fewer had battleships exchanging gunfire. Oh don't forget radar helped quite a bit with targeting. The women did trajectory tables, something that applies on land or sea. For a given angle and velocity a parabolic arc will be described given all variables are the same (a rocking ship just makes it a little tougher).

  17. Oh the fun to be had on Your Face Will Soon Be In Facebook Ads · · Score: 1

    So if I do as they say to get my pic on an ad for Starbucks does that mean my profile pic will go up? Oh I do hope it is some computer randomly picking without human eyes checking. I got a buzz lightyear and some sexual innuendo, perfect for reminding you to get &^cked and go to Starbucks!

    Huh? Perhaps I am misinterpreting what you said, but it appears you are saying Israel, a nation which defines itself as inherently Jewish has separated religion from state?

    So uh, what would you do about the exploding wildlife population then? Start handing out condoms or begging nicely? Or we could start having our police jacked for their guns by law abiding "youths".

  24. Re:Ban guns on Congresswoman and Staff Gunned Down · · Score: 1

    Mod troll. Guns don't kill, people do. Higher murder rate in US? Sure, we also have more general crime and much of our youth are little shits that need to be spanked and properly raised. Semi-auto rifles and pistols are also fun, but if you weren't so anti gun you would know that. Oh yeah, most gun crime (as opposed to lawful killing using a gun) is committed by CRIMINALS WHO CANNOT LEGALLY POSSES A FIREARM!!!
