  1. Re:Long overdue FCC! on FCC to Regulate 'Profane' Speech · · Score: 1

    Hi. I'm a young person. I often go to church youth conferences, which are a very respectful and accepting environment. Interestingly enough, I, and essentially everyone else there, swears a whole fucking lot. It's damn good, semi-clean fun.

    Toyota's next Hybrid is their Lexus SUv.

  4. Re:This isn't 1970 anymore! on Your Future Car's Hood Will Be Welded Shut · · Score: 1

    Consumer Reports' most recent auto issue put a Buick as the most reliable family car. However, they didn't like it, since most of the rest of the car seemed 70s-like.

    You know, your link says 21 lbs.

  6. Re:Super Tuesday on Super Tuesday Not So Super For Electronic Voting · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I do believe the whole primary thing came about in the early 1900s as a result of the corruption prevalent in American politics at the time (and now, of course, but that's a different issue). This was so that candidates would not owe favors to the party bosses that appointed them, so the party bosses would not have the power they did at the time. One important reason for this is that America has only two major parties-- we don't have much choice in going to another party. In the Swedish parliamentary system, I assume you have rather more choices.

  8. A successful indy game on Anatomy of Game Development · · Score: 1

    Live For Speed is a game developed independently, and it's proving to be reasonably successful so far.

    Why not let polygamists get married, then? Why not? They're not marrying you.

    You seem to have misplaced a dimension-- namely, the third.

  11. Re:prada - useless web site on RFID Tags For The Rich · · Score: 1

    That might explain things. On a different note, the pictured women are extremely frightening.

    Actually, I (who got my license today) was taught this when I had driver ed about 7 months ago.

  14. If we want to think of Gattaca... on US Senate Backs Genetic Privacy · · Score: 1

    They had these laws in that movie, too. They were unenforced, and samples were drawn for "drug tests" and such.

  15. I remember that book... on The Big Kerplop · · Score: 1

    I'm currently 15, and read it in 5th grade. It was pretty old at the time, but still quite amusing.

  16. What's the definition of violence? on Washington State Restricts Anti-Cop Videogames · · Score: 1

    In E-rated driving games with police like Need for Speed or Midtown Madness, it is acceptable to run the police off the road or destroy their cars. Would such a game be restricted to minors? Hell, in Roller Coaster Tycoon, you can drown the security guards in water-- should that be banned, too?

    A hint-- an easier way to change proxies is just to go to Help in IE, then Options, then Internet Options. It works even if Internet Options is turned off. Genuine MS security. Ah, the fun times I have hacking on my school network.

  22. Paul G. Hewitt's Books on A New Approach to Teaching Science · · Score: 4, Insightful

    At my high school, we use Paul G. Hewitt's physics books. Firstly, I should explain that my school subscribes to the view of "physics first," so all students are required to take a semester of physics freshman year (9th grade). The books provide a great overview of basic physics, have festive little drawings, and have writing full of personality. By the end of the class, many students (including me) love the book, compared to other textbooks, which are promptly forgotten. These books are a good standard for a more basic course's textbook.

  23. Re:Unix and C ofcourse.. on Technologies that Have Exceeded Their Expectations? · · Score: 1

    (So elegant that I place semicolons at the end of sentences rather than a period). No, you don't.

    Note that cooling systems don't generate cold, but rather move heat. Since they must be generate waste energy (2nd Law of Thermodynamics), such machines would actually increase warming.
