  1. Re:How is this diffrent? on Zero-emission Power Plants Proposed · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "The term is "Could NOT care less"! Saying you "Could care less" implies that you do indeed care."

    No, it doesn't. Consider an individual who says "Like I could care less" while rolling his or her eyes. Isn't it apparent that this remark is sarcastic--in other words, he or she really couldn't care less?

    (Yes, mod me offtopic.)

  2. Re:Hey! on A Car With A Mind Of Its Own · · Score: 1

    Um, yes. Elevators malfunction and fall all the time. Just two months ago, an office worker taking a service elevator in midtown Manhattan was killed when the elevator suddenly dropped to the basement. Google News turns up nothing, but I'm sure you could find it if you looked hard enough.

  3. Re:Why we have The Electoral College on West Virginian Mayor Might Defy Popular Vote · · Score: 1

    I think The Economist put it best: "Government is by its nature a knife that cuts to the left, in part because government employees tend to be on the left, in part because government programmes promote dependency." Ten to one odds against the magazine endorsing Bush again this year.

    If you think the two major-party presidential candidates are "nearly identical" on the issues that matter most to people (i.e. those who have ventured beyond the sheltered environment of their college campus), you're a fucking retard. Not to mention, contrary to popular belief, the presidential race isn't the only campaign going on right now.

    Buh... buh... buh... I saw it in the Economist! It must be true!

  6. Re:Some on purpose to promote free WiFi. on 80% of WiFi Networks are still Insecure, Kismet Author Says · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The thing is, he's not inviting anyone to use his network. Invitation (e.g. to a party) implies you know and trust the person you invite. You have no such guarantee with the people who use your open access point.

  7. Re:Article Summary is a bit incomplete. on Spectrum as Property · · Score: 1

    Yes, thank you for pointing that out. I knew I was leaving something out of the summary.
