  3. Re:bite me asshat. on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How many terrorism related deaths have there been in the US since 9/11... The War on Terror needs to be fought, maybe differently than it has been, but in terms of the US, things are going pretty well.

    You know it's a good idea when companies start screaming, "But that would put us out of business!"

  8. Blogs on A GMail-based blog With 1000 MB of entries · · Score: -1, Redundant

    If only google had a blogging service, hacks such as this wouldn't be necessary.

    You can hypertask fine as long as you're on internet time.

  10. Re:I wouldn't trade better broadband... on Broadband Envy: Fixing American Broadband · · Score: 1

    I'm very happy to be living in within a structure of a decentralized broadband access where each individual state dictates the best method of communication, rather than a country tell me that only DSL or CABLE is available.

    You must not get out much right? You do know that most nations in Europe are about the size of States in the US? It would take me about 4-5 hours to drive across my new home, England and it took me about 7-10 hours to drive accross my old State, New York.

    I've been looking for the same thing as Cory Doctorow, monochrome, USB chargeable. But, because I haven't been able to find it for some time, I've reduced my demands to USB chargeable or AAA battery operated.

  17. Re:Science? on The Monetary Economics of Thurston Howell III · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have a BSc in a real science (Physics) and have taken more than my fair share of Economics classes. You could use lots of very complicated math to describe love, but that does not make it any more scientific.

  18. Oh Grandma! on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What a big chin you have.

  19. Re:Lock your dorm door = number 1 rule. on Surviving College With Gear And Sanity Intact? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    7. Take a few classes for personal enrichment.

    I can't agree with this advice more, though I will add that if it's possible, get a second major in a different an area you like as well. I went to college to get my physics degree, but also picked up a sociology degree because I really like the classes and the teachers. The reason I suggest the major is it gives you something concrete to put on a resume to show that you are a diversified person. My physics degree will get me a job, but that additional sociology degree catches peoples' attention and has helped me stand out.

    Plus, it was nice to go from classes where there were only two girls out of twenty students to classes where I was one of only three guys out of fifty students.

  20. Re:So What? on Top Banned Books of 2003 · · Score: 1

    No, I just think that the books should be made available in libraries for all. I have no problem with people selling books to make a profit. Indeed, I usually only buy books after I've read them in the library and enjoyed them.

  22. Re:So What? on Top Banned Books of 2003 · · Score: 3, Insightful
