    within its (the US's) jurisdiction

  2. Outsource on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    Since we're obviously not making a profit on schools, especially with scores like they got, we should start outsourcing students. Cheaper and better results.

  3. Position of boats/ships on A Strange Streak Imaged in Australia · · Score: 1

    Anyone look at the position of the boats. Specifically the little one nearest the flash. Position doesn't seem consistent between the before/during/after.

  4. Venus on A Strange Streak Imaged in Australia · · Score: 1

    Now, look at this little red light. Its just swamp gas from a weather balloon reflecting off of Venus.

  8. It could be very useful on Government Code Collaborative Falls Short · · Score: 1

    ...if they actually had something useful there, and if it worked. And if they recognized that they are A government and not THE government.

  9. Its Madison Ave on Network Scheduling to Mess with Tivo · · Score: 1

    Don't underestimate the power of advertising to mess with TV schedules. The ad industry wants all shows to have commericials at about the same tv to prevent surfing. If you surf and all you see are commericials, then they win. They weren't too pleased with TBS's schedule and I'm pretty sure this had some affect on their change.

    That's the only answer...

  15. Re:The point of diminishing returns is just the st on Can People Really Program 80+ Hours a Week? · · Score: 1

    oooo, aren't you brilliant. Failures in rocket science don't result in nearly as many deaths as traffic accidents.

  23. Most users, sure on Beware 'Fedora-Redhat' Fake Security Alert · · Score: 1

    Sure, I'm hopping that > 99.99999% of current users will spot this within seconds. Yet, I thought I heard the idea was to get more people using linux. That would include a number of people who get infected in dumb ways on MS. Unless there machines are totally locked down (or adminned by the "linite"), its gonna happen. Maybe it happening now, and proper defenses being designed will be a good thing.

  24. Re:18-35 #1 ELECTION/VOTING REFORM: on Help Select Questions for Bush and Kerry · · Score: 1

    Why should we change it just because we can? Is there a valid reason to change it? Do you know why it is the way it is? If you don't understand why it is setup this way, how do you know your way is better? Or is it just change for change sake? Do you still torture animals for pleasure? Its like that. Part of the game is also keeping rules that work.

  25. Re:18-35 #1 ELECTION/VOTING REFORM: on Help Select Questions for Bush and Kerry · · Score: 2, Insightful
    This hardly seems democratic.
    I would hope someone would point out that its the "United STATES of America", not the "United People of America". Like it or not, your vote is limited to your state. Your state elects the President, not you. Until this point is clarified in the mind of the askers, its no more than sophistry. That is:
    1. Plausible but fallacious argumentation.
    2. A plausible but misleading or fallacious argument.
    It should not be asked.
