  1. Re:Obsolutly fantastic on Louisiana Passes Violent Games Bill · · Score: 1

    Only if the crime "prohibited sale of video or computer games to minors" is a felony (as generally only felonies cause the loss of voting/firearm/etc. rights, and then only in some states). Since the max punishment appears to be a year, it is likely classed a misdemeanor (felonies generally start at greater than a year).

  2. Re:live mario piano on Nintendo A Capella · · Score: 1

    Libby Hoeler, I think. That was quite a phenomenon.

  3. Re:RTFA, they don't use SSNs anymore. on CSU Chico Identities Compromised · · Score: 1

    Only if she's 5'3"...

  4. Re:FYI on CSU Chico Identities Compromised · · Score: 1

    The latter.

    As seen being used by Frank "The Tank" in old school.

  5. Re:Purple Monkey Dishwasher on Man Reportedly Jailed for Using Lynx · · Score: 1

    So the grease monkey asks the powder monkey for a monkey wrench, and the guy hands him a monkey pot instead. They were both promptly canned, as monkey business such as that is not tolerated around here...

  6. Re:What's wrong w/ successful Edmonton Protocol?!? on Trials for Type 1 Diabetes Cure · · Score: 1

    Islet cell transplant (like almost any other transplant) requires the use of immunosuppresants to prevent rejection. So while the diabetic is off of insulin, they're now dependent on another drug (with the side-effect of being extremely vulnerable to illnesses due to the weakened immune system). As far as I know islet cell transplants are still very much in the experimental stages, and candidates are usually people that are having difficulty controlling blood sugars with injections/pump.

  7. Re:Must Be A Typo... on MIT Media Lab Tightens Its Belt · · Score: 1

    I'd have to assume $8.75 an hour, as 8.75 per day or year wouldn't even be competitive with Taco Bell (~$7).

    Still, it is possible for those who have not graduated to get contracting work with IT companies for upwards of $40 to $50 an hour, but that depends on skill level and (more importantly) having the right connections.

  8. Indecent Exposure on Man-Made Black Holes Looming? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Can't have any naked singularities running around...

    Ouch. Black hole puns. There's no excuse.
