  1. Ignore Karl Rove at your peril on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 1

    Just when the "ownership society" b.s. is gaining momentum, too...

  2. Re:interesting to note... on Bhopal Disaster Revisited [updated] · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not entirely true. I heard a moving and thorough report this morning on National Public Radio.

  3. Re:The odds... on Does Redskins Loss Presage A Kerry Win? · · Score: 1

    But it ISN'T just a random team, it's the Washington home team - don't you see how that (coincidentally) seems to be particularly meaningful when you're talking about the fate of the incumbent party IN WASHINGTON DC?

  4. In related news... on Physics Goes To Hollywood · · Score: 1

    ...people are teaching Art History using the movies too.

  5. Re:The answer is - A circle! on Bicycle Riding on Square Wheels · · Score: 1

    Yeah, good point! In fact it needn't be a steep hill - Wouldn't a "flat" road on the surface of a spherical planet be circular?

  6. Re:Who cares about open office? on OpenOffice.org For Mac OS X Hits 1.1.1 (Finally) · · Score: 1

    Note that Nisus Writer Express doesn't (yet) allow footnotes, endnotes, nor integrated tables. Those are must haves for me.

  7. Art out in the desert on A Geek's Tour Of North America? · · Score: 1

    I've always wanted to go see the Lightning Field out in New Mexico. Supposed to be a very cool experience.

  8. For a TV show that's funny in a similar way... on The Management Secrets of T. John Dick · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ...check out "The Office" (I get it on BBC America)

  9. Re:Usefull Information? on Lofgren Introduces BALANCE Act to Modify DMCA · · Score: 5, Informative

    Actually, the EFF says that, post 9/11, email is better than snail mail for this sort of thing. The delay resulting from security checking makes snail mail, in their opinion, a less useful option than email and faxes for activism.

  10. Re:Aren't we forgetting someone? on 50th Anniversary of DNA's Discovery · · Score: 1

    Here's a New Yorker book review with more information on Rosalind Franklin.

  11. Boggs on Review: Illegal Art · · Score: 1

    J.S. Boggs is an American artist. There is an excellent hour-long documentary about him called "Money Man." It shows him at work, and one of his avid collectors, and follows him to Washington to try to retrieve some hand-drawn bills that had been confiscated by the Feds.

  12. Best as grocery list on Do People Really Use Their PDAs? · · Score: 1

    I find I can't go shopping without HandyShopper on my Clie.

    Wonderful free software, and the only thing I've installed that I use more and more instead of less and less.

  13. misleading link on Meet The Leonids · · Score: 2

    The first link promises "complete instructions for 35mm, video and digital cameras," but the page actually consists of complete instructions for 35mm cameras, and advice along the lines of "video and digital cameras probably won't work, but go ahead and try them."
