  1. Madison, WI! on Google's Experimental Fiber Network · · Score: 1

    Best choice to test market is a political seat and major university town which is in need of this sort of upgrade!

  2. Re:Brain Filters? Hello? on Fertilizer Dump Spoils Intel's Pure Water · · Score: 1

    Hm, maybe those "morons," should have had a contingency in place for an occurrence such as this. Water pollution is quite common.

  3. Water Filters? Hello? on Fertilizer Dump Spoils Intel's Pure Water · · Score: 2, Insightful

    One would think that a company with their resources would have a filtration system in place if the need for pure water is such a priority that the lack of it risks shutting down the whole operation.

  4. EDS & Identity Theft on Who's Controlling Our Vital Information Systems? · · Score: 1

    Recently here in Wisconsin the contracted company that manages some of the Medicaid and other social programs printed out the Social Security numbers of all recipients of a large mailing on the OUTSIDE of the envelopes. OOPS!

  5. Best. Magazine. Ever! on OMNI Magazine Remembered · · Score: 1

    I still have a bunch of copies stashed away somewhere that I found when cleaning out my dad's attic. Now I want to go find them! Good winter project for one of these weekends...

  6. Re:Isn't It... on Jaron Lanier Rants Against the World of Web 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Correct. Exactly the same...should have specified that in my original post. (:

  7. Isn't It... on Jaron Lanier Rants Against the World of Web 2.0 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    basically one big [social/research/collaboration] networking site...just as it was meant to be??

  8. A Magazine? on Science Gifts For Kids? · · Score: 1

    Engage the mind and the rest will follow. I loved Omni Magazine when I was a kid, but not sure if anything now comes quite close...maybe Popular Science or Wired, which might be a bit much unless your kids are precocious readers, but still wouldn't incorporate the full-spectrum of topics that Omni covered including really good sci-fi (not syfy!) and an amazing selection of original artwork.

  9. Re:Alas... on Plasma Device Kills Bacteria On Skin In Seconds · · Score: 1

    while she was swallowing your...., um, beverage...yeah...

  10. Alas... on Plasma Device Kills Bacteria On Skin In Seconds · · Score: 1

    ...bacteria, I knew thee well...

  11. "Fynn" got it right... on Schooling, Homeschooling, and Now, "Unschooling" · · Score: 1

    ...in his book _Mr. God, this is Anna_. "Page 171 - Her ability to ignore the excesses of information, dismiss the useless frill and uncover the heart of things was truly magical." There is so much that we, as "Adults," can learn from children. If I ever stop wanting to learn then it's time to pack it all up.

  12. Re:Wow (no pun intended) on Seven Arrested After Protesting Army Video Game Recruiting Center · · Score: 1

    Yes, the genre was fantasy, but the whole point of the movie was to protest war and stop the warmongering brother from recruiting children by use of video games.

  13. Wow (no pun intended) on Seven Arrested After Protesting Army Video Game Recruiting Center · · Score: 1

    I wonder how much of our tax dollars went into that facility, looks pretty state-of-the-art. Anyone remember the movie "Toys," starring Robin Williams?

  14. Priase This on DirectNIC Crisis Manager Braves the Chaos of New Orleans · · Score: 1

    Any effort towards communications in this devestated area that has been disregarded by our supposed "government," (for which we all pay taxes) should be praised. Hats off, and may releif come sooner than yesterday.

  15. Re:Usnea Lichen, Candidasis & Tonsillolith... on Patrick Volkerding Battles Mystery Illness · · Score: 1

    Correct, Herb Pharm, http://www.herb-pharm.com/ has several products available to combat yeast-related syndromes. Kyo-Dophilus, http://www.kyolic.com/ may also help to restore your natural bacterial flora balance. I've undertaken my own research, and need to work on further documentation, since having an (elected) tonsillectomy 17 yrs ago due to continual ent infections which had reached the point of inflamed tonsils secreting smelly lumps. After the surgery I experienced immediate improvement. Contact your MD to see if this may be a viable option, in addition to following his advice, and see if they know of a good naturopathic practioner that you can both work with. Sometimes taking our health into our own hands is what is finally needed to find the proper road to a cure. Blessings & prayers for your improved health!

  16. Schrodinger's Cat, or Nonlocality... Anyone? on Neutrinos, Muons and the Standard Model · · Score: 1

    Does the logic escape the principle? How about the perspective?
