  1. Summary on Saving Energy Without Derision · · Score: 1

    If you're only interested in the energy-saving tips and want to skip the background info, check out p24 and p32. But the background info is really interesting, so I recommend you at least skim it.

  2. Re:It is *NOT* limited to 35 cents on PayPal Settles Class Action Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    According to the Short Form: "In the event that the amount needed to pay all of the Short Form claims exceeds the Short Form Fund, the fund will be divided equally among all the Short Form Claimants."

    So you are not guaranteed $50. You will get at most $50, and probably less.

  3. Doing enough to combat climate change? on Pentagon Climate Change Author Interviewed · · Score: 2, Interesting
    When asked whether or not he thought we were doing enough to combat climate change, Randal says
    What do I think personally? No. I believe the industrialized world has the knowledge, the capacity and the motive to focus much greater attention on these issues, and we ought to. But that's not a suggestion that came out of the scenario or our report.
    Why does Randal take pains to distance himself from the conclusions of the report for this particular question? Shouldn't there have been a follow-up question from the interviewer about why his views aren't represented in the report? Was it a political thing? Was he in a minority among his colleagues?
  4. Don't forget the Class Action Suit on Transmeta's Demise Predicted · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the Class Action suit that claims "defendants made false and misleading statements about Transmeta's business and its principal product." That would definitely explain its current market trouble.

    Find out more about the Class Action suit against the company here.

  5. Must be the school on Cooperation in CS Education? · · Score: 1

    I'm in the Informatics program at the University of Washington and we do almost 100% of our assignments in groups. The method of making sure everyone pulls their own weight is simple: group evaluations. Everyone in the group evaulates the others and themselves.

  6. Re:From the horses mouth on Human Clock (Complete with Hands!) · · Score: 1

    oh man! I wanna see the single girl that comes at 11:11am. I'm gonna be in a meeting at 11 tomorrow. :(

  7. Re:High Speed Access on High Speed Net Access Defining College Life · · Score: 1

    It's so true. I just moved out of the dorms into a house near campus, and even though none of us have any source of income, we still drop down the $50 a month for DSL (which leaves no money for cable TV, but who needs it anymore). DSL around here (Seattle) is still only about 1/5 as fast as the dorms were though.
