  1. Pass The Blame! on Say Nothing About the Failing Satellite · · Score: 1
    The satellite failure is caused by global warming!!

    Call a conference (at a resort/casino) to voice concerns about global warming!

    Invite the pretty people and let them talk to "Entertainment Tonight." No one else has to do anything!

  2. No Rights Violated! on Student Blogger Loses Defamation Case · · Score: 2, Informative
    No 1st Amendment Rights Violated! The journalist did not like what the blogger said about him!

    The journalist sued for damages (bruised ego?) and won. The blogger appealed and lost the appeal.

    Again, No 1st Amendment Rights Violated!

  3. Consensus Science & Common Sense on Is Scientific Consensus a Threat to Democracy? · · Score: 1
    My Mistake

    I mean Consensus Science == Common $en$e!

    The big bucks are made by arranging conferences, and selling pop science books, magazine articles, and documentaries. The occasional TV appearance is always irritating.

  4. Couch Potato Land on Which ISPs Are Spying On You? · · Score: 1

    At http://www.net.tv/ you watch the ISP.

  5. Lies debunking Untruths on Misuse of Scientific Data By the White House · · Score: 1
    Global Cooling!

    Global Warming!

    Somebody will always find something that is not broken, spend money on conferences and studies, and declare it fixed!

  6. Not Hi-Def or Hi-Fi! on High Def Microphone for Mobile Computing · · Score: 1
    "mechanical transducer, output amplifier and sigma-delta converter all integrated on a single chip"

    Maybe a piezoelectric transducer?

    The transducer would not need to be powered, just the amp and converter!

  7. USA Not Metric Either on US Opposes G8 Climate Proposals · · Score: 1
    Again, the USA is renegade!

  8. One Perspective! on Ashes of Doohan Sent Into Space · · Score: 1

    NASA's first manned space flight carried only one passenger into space and back to earth. UP Aerospace sent over 200 passengers into space and return them in one piece (sort of)!

  9. Concurrence on NBC Believes They Own Political Discourse · · Score: 1
    These debates are next week's weather forecast!

    Hype and speculation!

  10. Experts' Opinion Retellers on NBC Believes They Own Political Discourse · · Score: 1

    News reporters are pretty faces quoting so-called experts:

    "Hey, kids. Let's go to the think tank and tease the pundits!"

    Or staging poorly planned stunts:

    Michelle Kosinski paddled a canoe in ankle deep water.

    Geraldo Rivera drew tactical maps in the sand.

  11. Map on Map on Mapping the Blogosphere · · Score: 1
    Remember the Internet Mapping Project?

    http://www.cheswick.com/ches/map/gallery/index.htm l/

    Overlay (embed?) the Blogosphere map on an updated Internet map!

    Maybe a "You are here" icon?

    Simple

    http://www.linux-tutorial.info/index.php/

    Dry

    O'Reilly Books

    We deny having the key.

  16. "the tyranny of the majority" on Voters Vote Yes, County Says No · · Score: 1

    At last, an new slogan!

  17. Getting Better with Age on The Sci-Fi Movie Stigma · · Score: 1
    I did not like "Battlefield Earth" or 'The Postman" when first released. These two movies have aged well for different reasons.

    "The Postman" has a good plot, Costner sometime plods along.

    "Battlefield Earth" is fun to just watch, don't think about how bad the story (and anything written by L. Ron Hubbard) is.

  18. Accounting Software- Aagh!! on Getting Accurate Specifications for Software? · · Score: 1
    You are diving into an abyss.

    Accounting rules do not follow the logic you have been using as a programmer, especially under a full moon during Daylight Savings Time in an presidential election year(Bad Joke).

    Find an accountant you can easily discuss what others tell you. Let him discuss and work with the other accountants about discrepancies. You should concentrate on the product!

    Can Entropy be reversed?

  20. Movie Tie-Ins on How Would You Deal With A Global Bandwidth Crisis? · · Score: 1
    Republicans' Solution == Dr: Strangelove: "Mr. President, we must not allow a bandwidth gap!"

    Democrats' Solution == War Games: "Gentlemen, I wouldn't trust this overgrown pile of microchips any further than I can throw it."

    John Kerry's Solution == Dr. Strangelove: " Sir! I have a plan! Mein Führer! I can walk!"

  21. Terrorists Win! on Cartoon Network CEO Resigns Over Aqua Teen Scare · · Score: 1
    The purpose of terrorism is to change behavior.

    It is successful.

  22. Raiders of the Lost Seeds on Doomsday Seed Vault Design Unveiled · · Score: 1
    Preservation projects never last.

    Time capsules being lost are a prime example. Markers are knocked over by lawnmowers, stolen, or just not installed.

    People break into tombs and steal artifacts.

    The entrance art looks like Colossus: The Forbin Project entrance. That's cool.

  23. Logo, Freebies and Chat!! on Making Your Company More Visible at a Job Fair? · · Score: 1
    Company Logo Everywhere!

    Banner with Company Name & Logo.

    Pens, Business Cards, & CDs are great for everybody that stops and drops a resume.

    People talking about the company and not with each other can give the freebies and collect the resumes.

    A conference room can be reserved for on-site casual interviews. Interviewers can give a 5-10 minute casual interview. Put a name plaque on the door NOT a taped sign.

  24. Neo-Luddites on Florida to Scrap Touch Screen Voting? · · Score: 1
    Fear and distrust of voting technology are turning voters in to Luddites.

    Scripto and Sharpie give hearty thanks!

    Looks like a lousy idea for a cartoon!

    But people did whine about homosexuality in Teletubbies and that was FREE! advertisement.
