  1. And if we want to set up a competition on Should Dolphins Be Treated As Non-Human Persons? · · Score: 1

    and make all the rules so that we win, we can go right ahead. But what do we really gain from it?

  2. Re:This is why the Dems lost the House on Senate Repeals 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' · · Score: 1

    it's hard to argue that it's a priority.

    Here's an argument that is supposedly hard to make: Equal dignity for equal sacrifice makes it a priority. This brings LBGT troops a step closer to being able to talk to a military chaplain about their home and family, and allowing their partners to access grief counseling open to widowed military spouses, as well as support groups for families with veterans suffering from PTSD. It brings us closer to allowing same sex partners to see their loved ones off, and welcome them home from active service, just to name a few benefits. While it would be great they weren't there in the first place, they are, and deserve that support as much as any other service member.

  3. Re:Is the prupose of the video on IdeaPad U1, What We Wanted the iPad To Be · · Score: 1

    Yes. Not to mention cumbersome, and trying to do too many things at once. The lady felt like she was fighting it instead of using it. And people think the iPad is underwhelming? No thanks, I'll pass.

  4. Storage box from IKEA on Cable Management To Defeat Clutter? · · Score: 1

    I bought a decorative storage box from IKEA. It stores about 3 1/2 cubic feet of cabling, including A/C D/C converters, a cable modem with corresponding cables, ad splitters, some network cabling. A mac mini may be mini, but it's cabling sure isn't. (OK and a monitor, keyboard, time capsule, external 250 MB drive, external 1TB drive, eyeTV converter, etc)

  5. Hm. No patents on tax breaks on Patents on Tax Reduction Strategies a Problem · · Score: 1

    This is a good thing :-)

  6. Tech on Cable Wants to Cut the Cord · · Score: 1

    so, what technology is going to be available to cable companies that telco companies won't have? yes, cable companies will have content, but telco companies are already teaming up with dish network and the like....

  7. Energy Independence on One Step Away from Changing Daylight Savings Time · · Score: 1

    We want to save oil. Let's take this further. why are we paying mere lip service to investing in alternative energy sources? Imagine the work that could have been created in 2001 if after Sept 11th, our government would have invested the billions we have spent bombing and rebuilding other nations when we could have made ourselves stronger and more self-reliant at home? We could have also made the stipulation that US tax payer dollars be used to hire only americans and legal residents for the research and development--that way, US firms could not off-shore it.

    I mean great, there will be more jobs for IT workers as they rush to change code, but this too can be off-shored.

  8. Re:Misread this as on China Upgrades from Microsoft Office · · Score: 1

    Actually his/her family name/ Last Name is Li

    So she would have to marry into the Fmily Sco and change her name from Nux to Yu Nix.

    thought I would clarify.
