  1. No surprise there on LeBron James' STEM-Based School Is Showing Promise (goodnewsnetwork.org) · · Score: 1

    Guess what? if you take an interest in your child's education, if ANYBODY takes an interest in your child's education, their scores will increase. All you need to do is show you care, daily, every day, and they will learn better/faster/more because they will be incentivized to learn... any moron should understand this, much less persons of average or better than average intelligence!

    median household income rose? Citation please. All the news outlets not run by right wing nutjobs are saying that REAL INCOME as compared to cost of living, has been stagnant for the past 16 years.

  3. Re:Airline scheduling on Why Airlines Make Flights Longer On Purpose (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    You've got it backwards, they are competing on "on time arrivals", so they lie about what "on time" means and advertise that they are "on time" all the time... even when you spend 45 minutes delayed on the tarmac waiting to take off.

    I have spent a lot of time traveling to/from other countries and in my opinion ANY security staff in any other country are more pleasant to deal with and more resonable than US TSA personnel.

    that's nice, but off-topic, this article in this posting is not about CT scanning persons.

    I was required to take off my sneakers in Sydney, Australia last month. It is not just the USA.

    its not American Airlines, as TFA says. it is the underlying booking system that has been in use for decades called Sabre. Nothing to do with India, actually.

  13. I travel internationally quite a lot... and it turns out that CASH IS KING, in many places, everyone prefers cash outside the US, though cards are able to be used 90% of the places I go, in most though they attach an extra surcharge to using a credit card (in Sydney, Australia it was 3 % for example). So, yeah, not exactly what that columnist would have you believe. Cash is still king.

  14. in the DoD there is a waiting period you have to go through before you are allowed to go to work for any company you used to have oversight of... is this not the case for the FCC?

    How about hang him because he has consistently sided with whatever Verizon/AT&T/Cox/Comcast have told him to do? Aren't those good enough reasons to be angry at his stewardship of the FCC?

  16. Why are you so stupid? on New Site Exposes How Apple Censors Apps in China (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    Do you not understand that if you want to do business in country A, then you MUST obey the laws that Country A has in place? Is that so difficult?

  17. I don't know, Zsa Zsa Gabor used to collect Ex-Husbands... and I don't think she was geeky at all about it...

  18. I have made and thrown throwing spears... They are a significant departure from a thrusting spear. I can honestly tell you that I have hit a running man in the head, when I was a teen, at about 60 yards. It brought him down. Didn't kill him, but did cause him to roll around on the ground holding the wound. Had it been a smaller critter, I would have aimed for the body, then it may have killed. So, yeah, duh. When your weapon is what keeps you fed, you become proficient in its use!

  19. Re:Smarter? on Elon Musk Wants To Put An AI Hardware Chip In Your Skull (itmunch.com) · · Score: 1

    thanks for the reply. I am not Liam though. I would not do what he did, it is pointless to do what he did actually. If you suspect your partner cheated on you, then they probably did (or you need mental help) if they did, then you can accept it, or leave. If they did not, then what made you suspect it? once again, do you need mental help? In any case, being violent/drunk over such things is irrational behavior. Clear Ffion was lying to him all along in their relationship, so it was a flawed relationship to begin with and needed to end. Perhaps because, in part, of his drinking and violence? In any case, that would NOT be the consequence for me in the same situation. I have had women cheat on me before and never become violent or drunk because of it. I simply ended those relationships after discovering the infidelity.

    Questions: Would your 'consciousness' (whatever that is) "move" into the silicon? If so, could you then take the chip out, implant it into a clone and have two of you? An immortal you? If I had two of me, which one is the 'real' me? If I had my chip copied and implanted in a clone, then I was killed, would my clone be legally me? Could he then prosecute the murderer? (presuming society didn't want to I mean). This concept of adding silicon to our biological selves is very complex. Me, I would want to experience the ability to enhance my recall and computational abilities at the very least, at best I would hope for a kind of immortality, mostly because the world is so wonderful, I want to keep experiencing it for as long as I can!

  21. when you feel the 'democratic process' no longer works, what are you to do? For example, in the US usually the person that spends the most money on advertising wins (since about 1960) Does this mean that the democratic process is working? Or that the person with the most money wins? Does the 'most money' mean democracy works? When Corporations have been defined as 'citizens' for the purposes of swaying elections, but do not have the limitations normally given 'persons' ($2300 limit to campaign contributions for example) does Democracy win? I believe that the reason for these violent outbursts is that many people feel disenfranchised and are hopeless about their ability to have any sort of a say in how their government works. I believe that we, in the US, are getting to that point as well.

  23. I lived with a gal for 3 years, came home early from work one day and found her vigoursly giving head to another guy. I gave her the key and said I would be back for my stuff... When I returned she was physically threatening, hitting kicking, yelling, screaming at me for dumping her... You do not have to be the cheater to have a psycho come looking for you.

  24. How about this scenario. I am a criminal driving through a town looking at houses to potentially burgle. I see a box in the garbage in front of YOUR HOUSE for an expensive product (Computer, TV, something) and I, with a couple of hundred dollars worth of equipment, wait for a cell phone call from within your house. Now I have your cell number. I wait for a time when your location information shows you to be far away, then burgle your house. With such a setup, I can burgle many houses, all without having to worry about you being home. In addition, I can tell your automatic garage door to open (should you have one, and in a perfect world, your garage is connected to your house!), I can drive my featureless van/large SUV into your garage, break into your house through the connecting door, load the van/suv in piece and quiet, and then open the garage again and drive away. closing it as I leave. Idiots like you always think that privacy is unimportant unless you are breaking the law, you constantly are too stupid to realize that privacy means MUCH more than that. Criminals want to know where you are at any given moment too. Pedophiles want to know where your kids are, how many you have, etc... there are many use cases wherein your lack of this level of privacy can hurt you or your loved ones, either physically or financially.
