    "A lack of intelligence and creativity" isn't grounds for censorship. There's plenty of stupid things on, but would it be okay for the government to determine what is too stupid for people to watch?

  9. Re:Here's one on Diebold to Pay $2.6M Due to Insecure Voting Machines · · Score: 1

    Good idea, though we need to require rigorous verification for future voting systems or else another company will come along and do the same thing, and everyone will accept it just because it's new.

    Yeah, Carter, what an evil guy. *rolls eyes*

  11. Re:Just because 6.2% don't have phones on Louisiana Towns Going High-Tech · · Score: 1

    Well yeah, I was trying to say that the survey only said 6.2% didn't have phones and not that they didn't have access.

  12. Re:Google Suggest just isn't very useful on Google Suggest Dissected · · Score: 1

    It looks like it ignores some characters; typing "seti@home" for example will ignore the '@'.

    Maybe at some point in its rotation, the doorway lines up with the open elevator shaft.

    Too bad that the windows can't be opened.

    Why don't they just rotate the universe around the building?

    Who says everything has to be in the center? With proper wiring and piping, the bathroom and kitchen could be in relatively the same place all the time.

    There could be a central room that everything opens into, and where the border between the apartment and hub is. There could also be radial walls, as long as they didn't go all the way to the center (this gruesome accident comes to mind).

  17. Re:Counter rotating bed... on Revolutionary Tower in Brazil · · Score: 1

    Sounds horribly disorienting..

  18. Re:Disorienting? on Revolutionary Tower in Brazil · · Score: 1

    I'd assume the elevators are in the part that's not spinning.

    I wonder what the highest speed is.. 10 RPM seems appropriate.

  20. Re:welcome to teh 20th century on Louisiana Towns Going High-Tech · · Score: 1

    My mistake, but it's strange to use a word from a different language that looks like a misspelling of an English word.

    They use the Census.

    "Recognizing the need for more precise periodic measurements of subscribership, the Commission requested that the Census Bureau include questions on telephone availability as part of its CPS, which monitors demographic trends between the decennial censuses."

    FCC survey

    It measures people with phone service, not people that have it available to them.
