  1. Unrealistic Competition on Robots Aim To Top Humans At Air Hockey · · Score: 1

    Both the robot an the human should be drunk to be truly representative of regular air hockey.

  3. Summary Over the Top and Dead Wrong on Nancy Pelosi vs. the Internet · · Score: 5, Informative

    I've read the PDF about the *suggested* changes.

    Currently there are rules governing the posting of *official* House of Reps material which includes the requirement that such posts are done in the house.gov domain.
    The suggested change allows that material to be hosted on external servers subject to the *existing rules*.

    It says *nothing* about prohibiting posting of opinions by house members on any web site. Nothing.

    Forced to read this in Highschool - not very good.

    Well it *is* targeted to 10 years of age (elementary school) and we are talking about pre-teen sci-fi, so I'm not suprised it didn't thrill you in high school.

  5. Tripod Trilogy - John Christopher on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    The White Mountains, The City of Gold and Lead, and the Pool of Fire.

  21. Re:I'm a Citibank customer on Crooks Nab Citibank ATM Codes, Steal Millions · · Score: 1

    Pouring over several months of statements is not easy when you don't know what you are looking for.

    It is worth reducing the total number of ATM transactions you make and using cash for the numerous small transactions. That makes it easier to reconcile and verify these transactions. Keep every ATM receipt and go over every detail in Quicken.

    Extend this to every transaction (CC, ATM, Check, bills) and account for every last penny once a week. This helps to catch the other crooks like phone companies, ISPs, power companies, CC companies and all the other corporate entities that seem to continuously make 'mistakes' that are always in their favor.

    It sounds like a pain, but the peace of mind it gives is great.

    Chances are there are already people who are living where the food and water are, and they will shoot you (or confine you to a refugee camp) if you try to move there and compete for those resources.
