  1. no negative effects? on Alaskan Cyclotron - Not in My Backyard! · · Score: 4, Funny

    in the article they quote an expert from fermilab. incidentally i grew up less than 5 miles from there and all i have to show from it is this third eye and multiple superfluous nipples. one of my neighbors was affected to the extent that he can set things on fire by only using his mind... why did i have to get the shaft when it comes to deformities/mutations caused by cyclotrons? WHY GOD WHY?!?!?

  2. yet another reason not to live in NAPERTHRILL on Library to Require Fingerprint to Use PCs · · Score: 1

    not only are house prices outrageous there (start at about $300K), but they now want biometrics to use the computers at the library? ridiculous. and to think i used to love going to the nichols library (main branch of naperville library district)

  3. question for mc chris about his song "the tussin" on Ask mc chris · · Score: 1

    how many bottles of cough syrup did it take to inspire you to write that song? i must say that that the dissociative state induced by consumption of massive quantities of it is indeed very bizzare.

  4. the new browser on IE7 Announced for Longhorn and WinXP · · Score: 1

    so microsoft is building IE7 from the mozilla/firefox rendering engine? nah... that would be too easy.

  5. Re:invisible bandwidth caps on Comcast Raises Bandwidth in Shot at DSL · · Score: 3, Interesting

    According to many of the reports in the comcast forum at http://www.dslreports.com comcast has re-worked their contract with giganews to double the amount... perhaps you should search the forums there for more info.

  6. invisible bandwidth caps on Comcast Raises Bandwidth in Shot at DSL · · Score: 5, Informative

    comcast also has invisible bandwidth caps of which they have been reluctant to publicly disclose. for those that have sbc's 6/608 or verizon's 3/768 service available to them, i would suggest dsl instead. oh yeah, comcast only gives out a paltry 2GB of newsgroups transfers, further diminishing the value of their services compared to dsl offerings with unlimited newsgroup access.
