  1. Do I read this every few years or so? on America Losing Its Edge In Innovation · · Score: 1

    It's 2011. We're not doing bad. I know I've heard the same thing through the nineties and eighties, and could probably find examples from the seventies and sixties.

  2. Re:This may turn out wrong. on Democrats Crowdsourcing To Vote Palin In Primaries · · Score: 1

    Worst mistake in US history? worse than slavery, mistreatment of indians, japanese interred in WW2, countless meddlings in other countries internal affairs, etc etc etc....? It would have to be pretty bad to be the _worst_ mistake in US history.

  3. Re:Who owns the results? on US Spurs Plethora of Problem Solving Prizes · · Score: 1

    Whether it's good or bad, it's not 100% voluntary if it's paid for with tax dollars.

  6. how is this even possible??? on IT's Last Hope — a Job In the Boonies? · · Score: 1

    I'm an idiot and I have jobs thrown at me daily. I'm making six figures and I generally don't wear pants. They keep trying to make me management and I keep saying no because it violates my pants policies.

  7. Re:IPv6! on Comcast Warns Customers Suspected of Bot Infection · · Score: 1

    I agree. You shouldn't run NAT.

  8. Re:This is not a spacecraft on Brooklyn Father And Son Launch Homemade Spacecraft · · Score: 0, Troll

    the impressive part here is that this was done by people in Brooklyn.

  9. Re:Activism is dead on Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I know it's very easy to rip on Nixon, but under his watch OSHA and the EPA were created, as well as opening trade with China. None of those would be considered right wing.

  10. Re:B of A on US Banks That Offer Transaction History? · · Score: 1

    and there's a link to download it in csv.

  11. I'd be perfect on JPL Scientists Take NASA To the Supreme Court · · Score: 2, Informative

    My sexual history fits on a post-it note.

  12. Re:Obligatory on Google Announces Project 10^100 Winners · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I think the worst part about the whole thing is that movie started Kirstie Alley's "acting" career.

  13. damn on IBM Patents Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Movies · · Score: 1

    in a choose your own adventure, i remember finding a page that was not linked to any other page and had no idea if it was intentionally like that or just a bad pointer.

  16. Re:What's next? on Air Force Uses Falcons To Protect Falcons · · Score: 3, Funny

    wait till you find out how they protect Nimrods.

  17. 3 passwords on 75% Use Same Password For Social Media & Email · · Score: 1

    thats all I care to remember. One for critical things (like work email, anything requiring a #CC), one for semi-important things (like gmail account), and one where I don't really care if it gets hax0rd (slashdot, reddit etc).

    Yes I do have various different logins for work vpns and servers, this is more for personal type stuff.

  18. Re:Do not want. on The Coming Onslaught of iPad Competitors · · Score: 5, Funny

    ok but what if I took one of these, added a hard protective plastic coating, and then some ports for keyboards and such. i'd call it a 'laptop'.

  19. Re:deh on Most Consumers Support Government Cyber-Spying · · Score: 1

    I'm okay with America spying on other countries, because I'm sure most every industrialized nation spies on us. Certainly China, India, Pakistan, Iran, etc etc etc
