  1. Some jobs require it on Political Science Prof Asks: Is Algebra Necessary? · · Score: 1

    Job listings for HVAC companies often state that knowledge of algebra is necessary to be considered for hiring.

  2. Want! on What Kinect Could Be, But Probably Won't · · Score: 1

    Especially if it will respond with Majel Barret's voice.

  3. finally! on A New Neutral, Long-Haul Fiber Network · · Score: 1

    My first thought was 'Hellz YEAH!' I mean, sod the telcos and cable companies. I was lucky enough to find an independent ISP. I can see them hooking up with this quickly. Last mile questions aside, anything that routes around qw*st, c*mc*st, and v*r*zn is a good thing.

  4. Re:TiVo invented timeshifting? on The Sad History and (Possibly) Bright Future of TiVo · · Score: 1

    Hells yeah! I was there when it happened! These kids today... with the hair, and the beads, and the ya-ya music...

  5. Re:I am Vengeance! I am the Night! on Symantec Wants To Use Victims To Hunt Computer Criminals · · Score: 1

    Symantec got a posse!

  6. Cause for Celebration and Feasting on Is Sat-Nav Destroying Local Knowledge? · · Score: 1

    Clearly we have passed another milstone on the way to the world envisioned so long ago on Usenet's alt.pave.the.earth. What is behind you does not matter, and all dissenters go to the hydro-pits!

  7. The boy's a freak! on Ballmer Pleads For Openness To Compete With Apple · · Score: 1

    Ballmer sounds like my ex-girlfriend justifying her ****ing around.

  8. Re:Obligatory on Why Don't We Invent That Tomorrow? · · Score: 1

    And JetPacks, dang it!

  9. not even funny on McNealy Says Telcos Falling Behind in Net Race · · Score: 1

    The telcos haven't solved the bandwith problem yet. I moved from an extremely rural area in one state to a major metropolitan area in another and saw a 50% decrease in my dsl speed. I won't do business with Comcast or ClearWire or any company that engages in traffic monitoring.

  10. Re:Twisting in the wind on NBC Chief Slamming Apple · · Score: 1

    This can only result in more people downloading torrents.

  11. J-Men Forever & Fear of a Black Hat on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 0

    check 'em out!

  12. Kim Stanley Robinson, Melanie Rawn... on Top 10 New Sci-Fi/SF Authors? · · Score: 0

    And have you read Ann McCaffrey's Pern novels? I just read, or reread all of those during the past six weeks or so. Ripping yarns.

  13. Re:Thin Film Cells/Home Kits on Where are the 70% Efficient Solar Cells? · · Score: 0

    You don't "hot rod" RE systems. You'll blow your breakers or melt your wires. RE systems are totally modular and expandable, though. Like tinker toys or legos.

  14. Re:what about energy recycling???? on Where are the 70% Efficient Solar Cells? · · Score: 0

    Yes, but you'd only get a few milliamps, never enough to cover the pumping needs. Aquastar has a tankless water heater that uses the hydroelectric principle to light the pilot burner.

  15. Still useless on Iowa ISP Providing Digital Cable Over Twisted Pair · · Score: 0

    This would do nothing for me, even if it were available in my area. I live three miles up a dirt road in a sparsely populated area. I'm seven miles from the telco switch. A six-tenth of a mile range is meaningless.

  16. People in Congress... on Network Webcurity Wishlist? · · Score: 0

    Cannot be trusted. Anything you say or do will be taken out of context and used against you and all the rest of us.

  17. Babylon 5 on Best Sci Fi Currently On Television? · · Score: 0

    Simply the best. I'm also a Farscape and Trek fan, but B5 rules.

  18. Free Food Foundation = Open Pollinated on Patented Food Threatens Crop Improvements · · Score: 1

    Or Heirloom cultivars. It's what organic farmers rely on; many home gardeners as well. At this point in time, seed saving is a radical act! In fact, growing your own food and generating your own electricity are becoming some of the most radical actions one can perform.

  19. Re:Power Disruption? on Geomagnetic Storm To Begin Tonight · · Score: 1

    Do you mean what kind of RE gear do I have?

  20. Power Disruption? on Geomagnetic Storm To Begin Tonight · · Score: 1

    This is just another reason why I make my own electricity. My computer and home are powered by renewable energy. I will never be a slave to the (increasingly fragile) grid.

  21. Southwest? on In-Home Fiber Connections, Out West · · Score: 1

    This guy's really stretching the definition of "Southwest". San Diego? Sacramento? No way. And the Southwest don't start in Texas until you get west of the Pecos River. Want to impress me? Bring fiber up the three miles of dirt road to my house!

  22. d.a.r.e. outta control on Has D.A.R.E Been Effective? · · Score: 1

    If memory serves me right, a few years ago High Times Magazine reported that the founder of dare renounced all ties with the organization because it had gone out of control.

  23. m$nbc on Different View Of MS Code Theft · · Score: 1

    Oh, good! They've told us everything's under control, situation normal... It's not like we can trust m$nbc to tell the truth about this one.

  24. SecureID on Steps To Protect Oneself From Corporate Espionage? · · Score: 1

    A SecureID system might be worth a try. A bit late to be asking now. Also seems that their "security conciousness" was a bit lax, especially considering what else was afoot.

  25. Tibet?! on Civil Engineering with Atomic Detonations · · Score: 1

    yes, the Free Tibet movement would be most upset. Not to mention the rest of the Indian subcontinent that is dependant on the runoff.

    this is truly an abomination against the gods and nature. It is said that the chinese people have many hells. I condemn the chinese government to experience each of them.
