  1. Too much salt? on Bill To Ban All Salt In Restaurant Cooking · · Score: 4, Funny

    Those problems are related to the fact that no one uses REAL salt anymore. That stuff that Mortons sells is an awful chemical that destroys your arteries. REAL sea salt is GOOD for you.

  2. Bullshit Science on Chilean Earthquake Shortened Earth's Day · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    My subject is my post.

  3. No Camera on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 1

    That's a completely obvious and very annoying fail. Sorry but I'm beginning to suspect a conspiracy here due the the iPod Touch also lacking this obvious important (potentially killer) feature. My eee pc has one (Asus doesn't sleep with AT&T) and I can take skype with me anywhere like Dick Tracey. I also think due to the cameras uncapped usability to linux that my netbook will not become obsolete in 2 years.

  4. Welcome to the Linux world on YouTube To Kill IE6 Support On March 13 · · Score: 1

    Even on an updated distro/browser, half of the flash based video works like ass. I honestly don't ever expect the linux web experience to work as smoothly as windows unless they finally kill that fucker.

  5. Re:Population Reduction on Gates and MS Don't See Eye-To-Eye On CO2 · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you would like to volunteer to help out? Shall we sterilize your children? Will you agree to only one child or we'll euthanize them? Helping out the common good. Good for you! How do you think vaccines would help reduce population? Make people healthier so that they will.. have less children. Yeah.. It's called culling the herd.

  6. Population Reduction on Gates and MS Don't See Eye-To-Eye On CO2 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Around @ 4:00 he talks about using good vaccines, medicine and reproductive services to reduce population by 15%. These kinds of people are disgusting and very dangerous.

    Given the parents I know, I would trust many kids more to the public/private schools than their parental tutelage.

    Sorry, 2nd reply here.. I find your statement here pretty disturbing. Karl Marx probably would not have phrased it differently than you do. Would you consider that your well intended ideas are the very justification for state tyranny and destroying families?

    I guess it's lucky for those parents that their kids are not yours to to hand over then!

    School is NOT indoctrination?! 'Clueless' parents have been raising people since the dawn of man. Ah the state knows what's best for the people, your right..

  11. Here you go on Suggestions For a Coax-To-Ethernet Solution? · · Score: 1

    http://fourpair.com/ccp6_09/index.php?app=ccp0&ns=catshow&ref=CAT6CAB I ran one 'backbone' from north to south side of house and homeruns from various rooms to that point. Bought the cheapo crimpers, a bag of connectors, some wallplates. Done. Streaming hi quality video doesn't bottleneck. You'll be glad you did it later when gigabit ethernet is not the ceiling anymore.

    Anyone else read it that way?

  13. Franklin on It's 2010; What's the Best E-Reader? · · Score: 1

    I built the website for the first e-book reader back in the 90's. Franklin's product line had consisted of e-translators, e-bibles, homework-helpers, and other highly specialized/dedicated devices. They acquired someone who had been making an e-book device and had begun deals with many publishers. I believe (but don't really know) that the publishers got cold feet and effectively killed the deal and the e-book reader. It was just another late 90's blown out budget building an expensive system that never went live. God! I miss those days!

  14. LaTex on Google Docs Replaces OpenOffice In Ubuntu Netbook Edition · · Score: 1

  15. I'll just start buying American mobos on Can You Trust Chinese Computer Equipment? · · Score: 1
    ..oh wait. There are none.

    Now if you dump Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, Soyo, hmm.. I guess Intel "makes" motherboards, but look closely at all the components on there and I don't think there would be an industry without China (and Taiwan).

  16. Bravo! on The Journal of Serendipitous and Unexpected Results · · Score: 1

    A refreshing perspective in a world of agenda oriented science. Anyone who's ever had a hunch that turned up false knows such disappointment. Less we forget that the spirit of science is about discovery, knowledge and truth first. Being right, dead last.

  17. Hackers vs. Sneakers on Designing the Computer UIs In Movies · · Score: 3, Funny

    I imagine how tough if would be to make a scene interesting if they showed Kevin Mitnik typing into a korn shell.

  18. Bad News About your Science on Claims of Himalayan Glacier Disaster Melt Away · · Score: 1

    Correction of errors is what separates science from religion.

    The founders of each religion said the same thing about the 'proof' and the 'authentic' experience they had with their savior. Clearly the truth, separating them from the old order. Christ > Roman gods, Buddha > Hindu gods, &c. Yet somehow, these revolutions ended up being co-opted by/as power and control structures. Christ > [Vatican, Anglican Church, Pentecostal, Mormons, take your pick]. Buddha > [Tibetan Buddhism/Dali-Lama/CIA, Chinese Buddhism (you bet it still exists), Japanese, Southeast Asian, Western/Shambala/Tricycle Magazine/Any watered down new ageism dribble in general all the way the "The Secret"/Oprah Winfrey, take your pick], &c.

    Today we have (had) a legitimate conversationalist / ecological preservation movement with legitimate concerns about polluting our environment. What's happened? Again, we have seen that initiative hijacked by a global political organization. They have created the new earth worshiping (gaia) religion with the goal of creating a global government with themselves in charge. They will enslave the entire population, having the masses accept the concepts that they (the masses) are killing the planet and need to cull themselves (population reduction/control), they should feel guilty about their consumption and each exhalation they make is poison. They use everything from slick politicians to high budgeted brilliant propaganda via television and Hollywood (Avatar, &c.)

    The IPCC are the self-declared high priests of the new one world/love/ peace one day / global village religion. But they are a political body with an agenda (like any political body) and should correctly be viewed with the highest discrimination.

    Not going to see. It's pretty obvious what that film is about. More earth worship religion propaganda. Humanity is evil for the poor spiritual planet.
