  1. The TSA is nothing more than a jobs program. on TSA Says Screening Drinks Purchased Inside Airport Terminal Is Nothing New · · Score: 3, Informative

    Someday, people will come to realize that there was one single change after 9/11 that effectively eliminated the possibility that hijackers could use our planes to fly into targets - they put locks on the cockpit doors.

    Everything else is a charade. The TSA was created and is funded specifically to allow politicians to brag that they "created jobs", even if those jobs are completely worthless and nothing more than "security theater". It's a federal work program, nothing more. You might as well named it the "Ditch Digging Administration" and put the same low income, low skill workers in fields digging ditches and filling them back in. At least that would have some tangible benefit and stop causing so many people the nuisance.

    In fact, the privacy invasions, delays, and "no fly lists" put in place by the TSA have caused significantly more deaths than happends on 9/11 - because people avoid the airports more and drive... getting into highway accidents.

    If the delegates at the RNC learn about Ron Paul's message, they can choose to vote their conscience and nominate him.

    The mirror is useless because it didn't cache the image.

  5. GamePlay HD on Dish Network on Gaming Tourneys Coming to U.S. Television · · Score: 1

    I've watched a few tournaments that've aired on GamePlay HD. It's one of the VOOM networks that are on Dish Network. I have to say, if you want to watch the gaming, you have to do it in HD. Regular SD television can never show the full resolution inside the game, and so have to rely on boring interviews and hype.

  6. HDTV Galaxy on Do Detailed HDTV Listings Exist? · · Score: 2, Informative

    HDTV Galaxy gives listings for shows being broadcast in HDTV, and gives the resolution. I find it to be fairly accurate.
