  1. Teaching reverse gender rolls = equality. on LAUSD OKs Girls-Only STEM School, Plans Boys-Only English Language Arts School · · Score: 1

    At the boys school the boys can't wear there skirts any higher than 4 inches above the knee and at the girls school the girls aren't allowed hair that touches there collar.

  2. Chris who? on Scientific Study Finds There Are Too Many Scientific Studies · · Score: 1

    What they need to do is rank the studies based on the number of vowels in the authors name.

  3. I've done 3 or 4 cources on edx. on edX Welcomes 'The University of Microsoft' Into Its Fold · · Score: 1

    I've done 3 or 4 courses on edx. It's a great platform if your interested in the intrinsic value of education. Not so great if you are looking to improve your job prospects. The certificates they offer are pretty much worthless. If Microsoft wants to put a few of there product training courses on their; what's the problem? The way the site is structured, there's not really a degree path that requires them so if you don't want to, just don't take them.

  4. I think people may have missed the point. on Dog Sniffs Out Cancer In Human Urine · · Score: 1

    I think that people may have missed the point here. Frankie isn't the focus of this article. That's just click bait. The point here is that urinalysis may be a better way of detecting cancer than biopsy. Not that dogs love cancer.

  5. This isn't new at all, far less "the first". The Altair 8800 didn't have any sound capabilities so people used to tune there radios to the clock frequency of the main data bus and feed data to it at frequency's that were modulated by the bus speed. It sounded like crap but it was far from a tuned system and that was back in the 70's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... I might believe there is some type of breakthrough in this if they had actually put any real information about it in the article but all that's in there is fluff.

  6. Those looneys are gonna blow up the ocean. on What If We Lost the Sky? · · Score: 1

    Well blow up the ocean!!!!!

  7. Re:How is this news? on The Quantum Experiment That Simulates a Time Machine · · Score: 1

    You sure it wasn't 1985?
