  1. What abou Badnarik?? on The Nader Factor · · Score: 1

    What about Badnarik?? Granted Libertarians usually don't even get a single percentage point of the popular vote in presidential elections, but he could still very well influence the election. Every poll I've seen seems to completely ignore him.

    I've talked to many Republicans who dislike Bush, but at the same time would never vote for Kerry. If Badnarik took just a quarter percentage point of Bush's voters in key battle ground states, he could potentially change the outcome of the election.

  2. fakers? on Wanted: a Real Science Channel · · Score: 1

    Yes, I'm sure the Sci-Fi channel is attempting to fake being a science channel...

    Give it to some of your friends and relatives, soon you'll recieve 20 or so joke chain letters every day...

    The minor didn't pay the money and I really doubt they were actually sueing her - much more likely they were sueing the mother.

    And yes, what a terrible world we live in when people have to take responsibility for their illegal actions...

  13. Re:Waste of money on New Hampshire to Follow Maine's Lead · · Score: 1

    and then demand that they should pay you to put your kid through a private school

    They pay?? That's a joke...

    There are many people out there that have 6 figure incomes but can't afford to send their children to school. Why?? Because they're forced to give up 50% of that income.

    Studies have shown that more money into public schools doesn't equate better education. Most everyone could afford a better private education if government didn't tax the hell out of us...

  14. Re:Waste of money on New Hampshire to Follow Maine's Lead · · Score: 1

    Or they could do something really useful with the money, like issue vouchers. Then parents could actually afford to send their child to a nongovernment school.

    Throwing money at public schools isn't going to result in better education, takign the government out will.

  15. Re:Where's the content? on Where Is The Broadband? · · Score: 1

    The $50/month I pay for my RR Business Class is well worth it. Just the time I save from not having to dial up, and faster web pages loading far outweighs the $30/month difference between cable and dial up.

  16. statistically optimal?? on Statistically Optimal Music · · Score: 1

    I highly doubt that you can derive optimal music from music that is played on the radio...

    That seems like a solution to my problem... In a Linux GUI, I've yet to find a way to lock the screen securely... Anyone can always hit ctrl-alt-backspace and they are dumped back to the CLI.

    A few years ago in my homeroom, I heard some kid talking about the university he was going to...

    He claimed that it had the highest STD rate of any school... and he thought that was a good indication of the school.

  25. Re:Anyone work for Frys? on Fry's Electronics - Selling Linux... Or Not? · · Score: 1

    >>If you are going to sell something, it needs to be a quality product.

    That is simply untrue. MS makes a shitty product, but they sure as hell sell it. McDonalds makes shitty food but they sell more hamburgers than anyone else, and I'm sure just about anyone else could make a better hamburger.

    Of course it does need to be a product that is desireble for whatever reason , and this does not seem to desireble for any reason...
