  1. Re:P*rn Economics and Borg Processing Clusters on Porn Rewards Users To Get Past Anti-Spam Captchas · · Score: 1

    My mom once told me, If Men spent the same amount of time research space as the did female breasts we would have bases on the moons of saturn by now.

  2. Good etiquette requires both parties.... on Bad Spelling Pays on eBay · · Score: 1

    Both parties have a responsibility to make sure communication is being understood. Hence, in the Navy, all commands are repeated back to the person making the issuing the command. When lives are at stake then you MUST be understood.

    I think this requires some one who is listening, to ask questions when they don't understand. I have seen to many times in the IT field people do things, by "guessing" when they are unsure.

  21. Why it is green to hate coal AND nukes? on Uranium Pebbles May Light the Way · · Score: 1

    I am pretty green; I hate SUV's can't stand Bushes policies on energy, BUT clearly Nukes pollute FAR less then coal fired power plants.

    The amount for NOx, SOx and COx put in the atmosphere, by Coal fired plants, is un-FREGGIN believable. The storage of nuclear waste is actually solvable; the trashing of our atmosphere may NOT be fixable. I like to breath.

    Maybe I feel this way because I live in the Midwest where there is one power source real and that is coal, the air is so hazy here it is starting to look like L.A.
