  8. Glomar Explorer on China Plans To Mine the Yellow Sea Floor · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Pretty much the same cover story.
    They were going to collect metal right off the top of the ocean floor.
    In a way, they did.

  9. No mention of party affiliation in the title or summery.
    That is a REQUIREMENT if the person is a conservative, republican, or a republicrat.

  10. Monster Compared to Zip Cord on Calling Shenanigans On Super SATA's Claimed Audio Qualities · · Score: 1

    Remember when Monster Cable first came out? In a store you could throw a switch so the speaker in front of you went through a roll of 16 gauge Monster Cable or a roll of 20 gauge zip cord. Each roll was the same diameter, you guessed it, the Monster was much shorter in length and therefore resistance etc.
    Nice sales tool.
    Look for stories about Gordon Gow of the McIntosh company.
    If these stories are true, well, save your money.

  14. Re:First, this is talking about Germany on The 'Net Generation' Isn't · · Score: 1

    Same experience as rolfwind.
    Tried bussing it to work: Northgate to Pill Hill.
    A 15 minute car commute became hours of bus rides.
    Heaven forbid your job starts before 08:00 or ends after 19:00, you are really out of luck.

  15. Re:Where is the answer? on The 'Net Generation' Isn't · · Score: 1

    I suspect you are asking a lot from people who grew up in a generation that gets awards for merely participating.

  16. Re: Off a short pier on Knuth Plans 'Earthshaking Announcement' Wednesday · · Score: 1

    I was walking down a short pier.
    My head was down, I was counting the slits between each plank on the pier.

  22. Re:Obstruction of justice on Seattle Hacker Catches Cops Who Hid Arrest Tapes · · Score: 0, Troll

    Then you are correct;
    You do not want to live on most of the rest of the planet, since, clearly, you are not aware.
    Now do you get the point?
    I didn't think so.

  23. Re:Sudden Outbreak of Common Sense on UK University Researchers Must Make Data Available · · Score: 1

    No, responding to an AC is not the definition of trolling.
    But you knew that, didn't ewe?
    It was the trolling.
    Now go back to your lusting after dan rather.

  24. What did 'Scientific American' do about Lomborg? on Debunking a Climate-Change Skeptic · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As I recall after The Skeptical Environmentalist was published 'Scientific American' offered $$ for articles debunking Lomborg.
    NOTE: Not asking for analysis. Money and publishing only for anti Lomborg articles.
    Sort of an abuse to call that process scientific.

    Beautifully put.
    Extra points if you can extend this to the Rapture.
