  1. Not flaunting, FLOUTING on Scientists Make Water Run Uphill · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/flaunt.html ("To flaunt is to show off: you flaunt your new necklace by wearing it to work. "Flout" has a more negative connotation; it means to treat with contempt some rule or standard. The cliché is "to flout convention." Flaunting may be in bad taste because it's ostentatious, but it is not a violation of standards.") (That is all.)

    No wireless. Less space than a nomad. These robots are lame.

    God uses Lisp? Oh, Jeethuth Chritht.

  4. Re:The link? on Al Gore Invents Internet TV · · Score: 1
    Why not post the link to the Current TV homepage?

    Why not indeed? It's only fair - they link to Slashdot:
    Hey, why can't I leave comments on your blog? I thought this was supposed to be participatory! Creating community spaces that are both open and useful is a challenge. Some sites have risen to it by insisting on strict registration policies; other use cool collaborative filtering schemes.

    I think the magic border is down around the Grapevine. North of there, freeways have names like I-5, I-80, and Highway 50. South, everything is "the 5" or "the 210".
