  1. outsourcing on Singapore Firm Claims Patent Breach By Virtually All Websites · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm glad to see that we've even managed to outsource patent trolls.

  2. Re:Measuring changes results on Cellphones to Monitor Highway Traffic · · Score: 1

    You are looking at a very small picture. If the police abuse this technology, anyone near the gps coordinates where a crime is committed is instantly a suspect. Speeding is the least of our worries, but since you address it so callously, how about the times where we need to speed? I had to rush someone to the hospital a few days ago. I broke the speed limit. Should my cell phone be telling the cops how evil of a person I am and mail me a ticket? It is a very slippery slope that should be avoided. Traffic control? Sure, if its an opt in system. Mandatory? just give me a cell phone from the nineties that can make a call and you can keep the fancy gadgetry!

  3. Re:Friends/Family Influce People, Doen't CAUSE on Study Proves Having Fat Friends Makes You Fat · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What about the very simple old sayings of "birds of a feather", etc... If I have a close friend, regardless of where they live, that person is probably going to be very similar to me. That means, if I'm a person that eats a lot because I am depressed or stressed out or any of a number of reasons, my close friend probably does too. Its not a causation. Its a grouping of similar personalities, which in essence what friendship often is.
