  1. "Common sense legislation"...? on New Jersey Enacts 'Smart Gun' Law · · Score: 1
    ... could be years before it becomes a reality.
    [McGreevey] "This is common sense legislation."
    Common sense legislation to require technology that doesn't exist yet?! Yeah! Why don't we require matter-transporters from Star Trek? They don't pollute!

    This is "common sense legislation" in the days and places where nonsense passes for common sense.

  2. No way! on Critics Pan Nemesis · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It can't possibly be as bad as Star Trek V: The Search for Jebus!

  3. Oh well. on GameToo Much...... And Die! · · Score: 1

    That's one less ling rush + disconnect that I have to endure. ;)

  4. What took them so long? on Fighting Telemarketers with Technology · · Score: 1

    I heard about this sort of technology years ago in Japan. What took them so long to bring it to the 'States?

  5. If anything... on Is A "Well-Rounded" Education a Good One? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It's just so that they can get students to pay for classes they don't really need. That way, they can keep certain classes open, those of which nobody would take otherwise.

    In retrospect, however, it does seem to help, in the long term, especially if they're concentrating primarily on attaining a degree in Computer Sciences. It's much harder for a CS major to get a job in an unrelated market during recessions such as the one we're getting close to feeling now.
