  1. LUG in Bostonian terms on LUG Pres Resigns Over Military Linux Use · · Score: 1

    we here in boston have another meaning for LUGs, attributed to the special girls of wellesley college:

    Lesbians Until Graduation

  2. Cell Phone interference on WirelessCabin: Use Your Mobile Phone on Airplanes · · Score: 1

    considering many of us forget to turn off our cell phones in theaters and the like, i wonder what the number is for the amount who forget to do so when getting on a plane (or before liftoff).

    if the number is as high as i would imagine it to be, then i'd have to disagree to the amount of interference that takes place.

  3. Re:and if I download music I already own ? on MPAA Infiltrating Campus Nets with Software · · Score: 1

    That's an interesting question.

    Since all of these products are make-once-sell-many, how does downloading a song I already have on a CD, or a movie I had taped off of TV (which I am legally allowed to do), stand as being illegal?

    Any legitimate answers?

  4. Bicycles on Technology Makes New Cars Too Expensive to Fix · · Score: 1

    Abolish cars altogether.

    Between bicycles and public transportation, we don't even need cars for personal use.

    Maybe this could be made possible in large cities and metropolises?

    The sad thing is that in places like China, where the bicycle has been the best form of transportation for decades, the increase in income is leading to more pollution, more congestion, more traffic accidents and incidents, etc.

    capitalism isn't as great as we are convinced it is.

  5. !sophistry on SimChurch · · Score: 2, Informative

    maybe if you were greek and living 2000 years ago, then you'd be a sophist.

    nowadays, the undecided, the middlemen, are called Agnostic.

  6. Troll? on SimChurch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    what exactly has been the cause of every major war in the past 100,000 years?
    maybe not the purpose, but the scapegoat, the reason, the cause?

    is there any other kind??
