  1. Re:Wonderful on Stealth Sharks to Patrol the High Seas · · Score: 1

    perhaps homo superbus (arrogant human)? arrogans is mostly acquisitive or demanding, only arrogant through transference.

  2. Re:Translation on Cartoon Network Acquires Neon Genesis Evangelon · · Score: 1

    I believe it roughly translates to "the new gospel of creation" in christian greek, "evangellion" is the word for gospel, and I can only figure "genesis" as some sort of genitive. XAIPE

  3. Re:Treason on TSA Lied About Protecting Passenger Data · · Score: 1, Informative

    Ignoring the seriousness of their respective deceptions, Bill Clinton lied under oath, as far as I know, Bush did not.

  4. Re:It's good! on HP, Dell, and IBM Agree to Manufacturing Code of Conduct · · Score: 1
    By definition a prodigy is someone who is exceptionally young to do what he or she is capable of doing

    Sorry, but you were just begging for it ; )

    www.dictionary.com says a prodigy is: 1. A person with exceptional talents or powers: a math prodigy.
    2. An act or event so extraordinary or rare as to inspire wonder.
    3. A portentous sign or event; an omen.

    The world-net dictionary seems to say something about age, though. Perhaps you were thinking "precocious"?

  5. How Unfair! on The Nader Factor · · Score: 1

    How dare Nader run and take away votes from Kerry?!? For that matter, how dare Bush run! If they weren't in the race, everyone would vote for Kerry! That's good . . . right?

  6. Re:I have always wondered... on House Candidate Lets Web Users Set His Schedule · · Score: 1

    This, or some variation on it, sounds like a great idea. Perhaps after this round of elections we should suggest just such a thing to our officials. Assuming that both sides (the representors and the represented) want improved communication it would be difficult to argue against providing basic information (e.g. upcoming votes and reasons for the position the official is taking). I realize that's one hell of an assumption, but I can dream! Do you know who your candidates are? At least find out there names: http://www.vote-smart.org/

  7. Perhaps misleading? on Democrats Hire Army of Lawyers for Elections · · Score: 5, Insightful
    The article tells us the democrats "plan to mobilize tens of thousands of lawyers on Election Day." However, the post suggests that their behavior is largely unmatched by the republicans (perhaps I am misinterpreting the poster).

    I'm not sure of the implications, but the final paragraph tells us the Bush campaign has $6 million in their legal fund while the Kerry has $4.6 (as of the end of august). I suppose it's unclear whether that's a result of expenditures Kerry has already made or if it indicates the Bush campaign's willingness to engage in similar tactics.

    Regardless, I think I agree with the spirit of the poster. This is depressing. Is it better for there to be fierce litigation, proving the affair to be the horse and pony show it is, or for one of these rather lackluster candidates to win a definitive victory?

    Do you know your candidates? At least go to http://www.vote-smart.org/ and learn their names.

  8. Re:Sounds like the US on Solar Powered Computers Planned for Rural India · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ummm. There's nothing in the article about MS sponsoring this. In fact, based purely on my own experience from grade-school to grad-school, Macs make up the lion's share of computers in US public schools. But that's all besides the point: this is article is about novel power sources for schools.
