  2. Re:2 good reasons for sending a leaver home on pay on Computer Jobs -- How to Resign Professionally? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    1) Morale of other staff - There is nothing worse than hearing somebody tell you that grass is greener where they're going.

    I think there's nothing worse for the other staff than seeing how shabby a company treats someone who has worked hard helping the company meet its goals. I've been at three companies where someone on my team was disappeared by HR. In all cases the person leaving wanted to do the right thing to minimize the effect of their departure. It was a depressing blow to the entire team when the company acted on the assumption that the person -- and by extention, any member of the team -- was an immanent threat, despite the person's history of loyal professionalism and service.

  3. Re:grow up! on John Seigenthaler Sr. Criticises Wikipedia · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Whatever gave you the idea that everything you read is based on fact? Do you seriously believe that everything the Bush administration publishes is based on fact? That everything in the EB is based on fact? That everything in your textbooks is based on fact? That everything in the newspaper is based on fact? Do you make a habit out of believing accusations against people without evidence? How naive can you be? ... The problem is that people like Seigenthaler and you need to grow up yourself and stop nurturing the illusion that publication is some kind of quality control.

    The Encyclopedia Britannica earns respect because of its high editorial standards. Some publications don't strive for such excellence, and their reputation suffers. Unless Wikipedia can better control the quality of its content it'll soon be considered nothing more than an interesting social experiment.

    I prefer to call her "10 of 10".

  6. Re:I don't Believe it! on Black Holes 'Do Not Exist,' Contends Physicist · · Score: 1

    Even though the term "black hole" was coined in December 1967, I don't think the original Star Trek series ever mentioned or included black holes.

  7. Why not on James Bond Peelable Automobile Paint · · Score: 1

    Why not just use Smart Paper and change your car's paint job whenever you want?

  8. Another approach? on The Nonphotorealistic Camera · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be better to use multiple lenses rather than multiple flashes? It would be similarly simple, yet provide much better data on relative position.

  9. The article doesn't mention PLATO on Tracing the Evolution of Social Software · · Score: 1
    The article doesn't mention one of the first collaborative environments. The PLATO system thrived at the University of Illinois (and elsewhere) during the 1970s:
  10. Ske & Telescope had an article about this... on "Blue Moon" Appears in Sky Saturday Night · · Score: 2, Interesting

    See the Sky & Telescope article: "What's a Blue Moon? The trendy definition of "blue Moon" as the second full Moon in a month is a mistake." http://skyandtelescope.com/observing/objects/moon/ article_127_1.asp
