  1. Re:You think the housing collapse was bad on US Student Loans Exceed $1 Trillion · · Score: 1

    Since 1970, minimum wage has on average gone up about 300%.

    I think a more relevant figure to compare to would be the median income.

    All technical typos and misleading whatever aside, and aside from all the hawking about how this has already existed or this is not new blah blah blah....THIS SHIT IS STILL FUCKING AMAZING. GET OVER YOURSELVES.

    Read the comments in the linked Wired article. You're right. Not technology/discovery, but just a new application of existing knowledge.

    n/t

    Sorry, this is completely off-topic, but doesn't typing "n/t" (by which I'm assuming you mean "no text") in your post make the reason for typing it a moot point? Kind of self-contradictory?

    Just a question...

  7. Still don't get it on Analysis of Galaxy Spin Reveals Universe Might Be Left-Handed · · Score: 1

    I read the pdf linked from the /. link. Despite the fact that the paper is full of technical jargon, I tried to sift through and glean some sense out of it, but I just can't figure out how they can reason that a galaxy has a "left" or "right" spin when such a determination is dependent on the observer's position relative to the galaxy.

  8. Re:Wait on Analysis of Galaxy Spin Reveals Universe Might Be Left-Handed · · Score: 1

    ^^ This

    There is no "top" or "bottom" of a galaxy - such directions (or positions?) are subjective when you're looking from the outside of a galaxy.

  9. From what perspective? on Analysis of Galaxy Spin Reveals Universe Might Be Left-Handed · · Score: 1

    How do you know what side you are looking at (top or bottom) to determine correctly in which direction it is spinning? IS there a top or bottom? I highly doubt it...

    That's all fine and dandy, but that's not going to help in the locations where there are no garbage collection customers!

    I echo this.

    Being in the US Navy I saw a lot of the Mediterranean and South American countries. I NEVER ate or stayed at anything that even resembled American culture. Guys would eat hamburgers for dinner in the mess hall on the ship, then go out on shore and hunt down a McDonald's. WTF?!?!

    How did we go from tracking cell phones in Australian shopping centers to griping about American lobbyists and lawyers?

    I purchased FarCry when it first came out in 2004 and have played it through countless times. I have installed it on every gaming computer I've owned. I love the HUGE maps, which provide a great variety of ways to get from a to b. There is a lot less linearity within a given map than the vast majority of shooters offer. My 2 cents...

    It is my observation and opinion that conservatives/Republicans believe that their views on society and policy are the only answer. It seems to me that they believe there is no room for debate, discussion, or compromise.
