    There was some rumbling, then a jolt, then afterwards for several seconds it felt like the ground was moving back and forth. On the second story, the towels were swaying. I think I will put those saftey straps on the IKEA book cases I purchase years ago.

  4. Re:Walmart employees, rejoice! on Wal-Mart Sues Visa For $5 Billion For Rigging Card Swipe Fees · · Score: 1

    Ask Wal-Mart about how they routinely rip off their suppliers; for under a buck. Ask Wal-Mart how they factor in Food Stamps into their Accounting. From my point of view; Wal-Mart is a major reason, along with the Banks, and Credit Card companies of why America is in the fix it's in.

    When will Americans stop supporting entitlement programs to Oil Companies, and Hedge Funds?

  11. Re:Recycle! on More On the Disposable Tech Worker · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's sound advice for those who are so driven by greed, that they marginalize the victums they create; and they don't care.

    Why? We have the resources to educate all American Gifted children, so why "cull" them?

  19. Re:Higher SAT scores, etc on The Poor Neglected Gifted Child · · Score: 1

    Who ever modded you up doesn't fecal matter about education in America. Students are tested at 8 years old or third grade, recomended by the teacher, not Soccer Mom, or Baseball Dad. If the student has it, then step 2 is referred to as the "Gifted Program." As for other nations, the ones that are H1B bound these daze have their testing at the Secondary School level. So far, after working with H1B types, they all have about same humanity as any graden varity rule driven jackass. With the emergence of IBM's WATSON, H1B's will become "kind of cute" in their own little way.
