Agreed. And Slashdot's 9/11 article was excellent. The comments provided, in aggregate, excellent, up-to-date, and accurate information, and additionally Slashdot was one of the few sites that stayed up all day that day.
Have you ever had a practicing or former Scientologist attempt to prove the efficacy of auditing, or any other practice from Scientology? If so, how did it go?:) If not, how might you go about testing and debunking it?
My wife and I were less than 10th in line, voted paper ballot, no issues. Polling place got moved for the 2nd time in the past 5 years, a bit of confusion for some people there.
I seem to recall reading in the Security Question comments how Battle.net's system was excellent. That portion of it may have been, and they seem to be responding well to this, but the timing is interesting.

Something that takes as it's input random psychological output from many sources does well at predicting the performance of a system that takes as it's input random psychology? Makes sense, actually. The stock market isn't always governed by rational decision making. What they seem to be attempting is to cut out trying to evaluate the rationality of people's though processes, but just observing them. The danger here is that if enough people behave stupidly, this thing might enhance that through it's transactions and the resultant feedback, but that's a danger of any system.
Unless, (tinfoil hat on) Wikileaks is a CIA program to destabilize forgeign governments in exactly this manner, and Assage and Manning are both on the payroll. The leaks about the U.S. are a smokescreen. (tinfoil hat off)
So was I. I was upstairs, messing around with one of my telescopes, and my mom called up to me that I needed to get down there right away. I came down, saw the TV, and like Charliemopps, I watched the news the rest of the day. What I remember most are two things. One, how they played the tape of the launch and explosion over. ..and over. ..and over. . . Two, that I still wanted to be an astronaut. Didn't happen of course, but even at age 8 I understood that risk was a part of space exploration. I need to get on explaining that to my kids, since at least my daughter, and to a lesser extend my son, want to be astronauts, which scares the living shit out of their mother.
I was traveling recently and it had me do the social login thing because I was outside the usual range of IPs. I actually liked it. It was a no-brainer for me to do, and very few people that weren't me could have done it correctly, since the pictures of people were from all over my social map. +1 to Facebook for this one.

The Paris attacks wouldn't have happened without crypto? That's a funny way to spell "Religious Extremism."

"They hoover down all the internet data, " Pun intended?
You said it. I can't wait to put that nightmare behind me.

And if they somehow had negative mass? Would that not account for the (purportedly) observed results?
