  1. Re:Can we speak in clear terms? on US Educational Scores Not So Abysmal · · Score: 1

    Nah, it's because Billy Gates is substitute teaching. I went to a pretty mild-mannered high school but the fear-scent of a sub is universally recognized by teenagers. I can't even imagine substitute teaching inner-city.

  2. Re:How do they know water? on Curiosity Finds Evidence of Ancient Surface Water · · Score: 1

    I doubt AC picked NH3 to be "tricky". It's still valid to ask "could this be the result of a non-water liquid?"

    It should be safe to assume NASA does what it can to rule out other liquids because, obviously, water is the one that gets them excited. One method might be mineral solubility; however, the only methods I've heard or read about are erosion and associated/ancillary processes such as sediment transport.

    Is it because I'm not a geologist that I don't understand why erosion can only be caused by water? Any geologists or areologists out there want to fill me in?

    The petition to fire her assistant, Steve Heymann, who "wanted a high-profile computer crime conviction," [1] needs help as well.

    This is no better than your congressman's automated canned replies

    I get canned replies/propaganda from a congresswoman, you insensitive clod!

  5. Re:And we care because why? on Instagram Loses Almost Half Its Daily Users In a Month · · Score: 1

    No it's more like the hotel making that declaration because you use that room of the hotel as your personal storage unit and do not pay them. Except, because this is happening on a computer (must. avoid. patent. joke.), your stuff is still there - the hotel is only selling perfect replicas.

  6. Re:In my experience, yes it does on Pot Smokers Might Not Turn Into Dopes After All · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure what AC is implying with this, but it is correct and it would make a great /. quote! FWIW, I think the new study is finally headed in the right direction. It sounds like prior studies hadn't controlled for socioeconomic variables. Tsk tsk
