    Do they really think the US government should set the time for DST changes to suit one group's special program? This is the US government, they do it with EVERYTHING else.

  3. Re:Demonstrate the Crime on HS Students Steal SSNs to Prove They Can · · Score: 1

    your right, i made another post on this, but its true. HS IT staff tend to have students suspended for even hinting at problems. Things like this have been a growing trend in the chicagoland area (i graduated from a chicago HS last year and we had at least 1 indcident a year)

  4. Re:tough way to prove point on HS Students Steal SSNs to Prove They Can · · Score: 1

    a LOT of IT Staff in high schools dont listen to their students. I graduated from a chicago area HS last year, and i will say that not only my school, but many other schools in the area had staff that would not listen to students at all, or would press diciplinary action if a student would mention a problem. (finding a problem or trying to find a problem suspension at my school). My high school actually expelled one student for getting into the staff network.

  6. Its up to the user on Security Fears Over Google Accelerator · · Score: 1

    Just like any other product of this nature, and just like the desktop search, google has this in beta, which means they are pretty much expecting you to read all the program notes AND the privacy notice. I read the privacy notice, and i realized what risks there were, so i immediately went and put any site w/message boards on the Do Not Accelerate list. BTW, i reccomend that everyone read the privacy policy. Its up to the user to know how to use this and how to protect yourself. Its not a finished version, in which it would be able to screen out dynamic content.

  7. what about porn? on Dvorak Trashes Modern Gaming Industry · · Score: 1

    Why does he focus on the video game industry, i feel there has been a LOT of improvement on the entire gameplay experience. How come people say video games are stale, when porn hasnt really changed since its release? Yet despite this, the porn industry makes more money than the video game industry.

  8. ideas on What Interests High-School Students? · · Score: 1

    when i was still in high school last year we started a rover project after the mars rovers landed. We got together and designed it, and with some help from the teacher built it, then programmed it. it has a micro motherboard on it with a via processor. UPS batteries are the main power. Using wi-fi and a servo controller through the serial port we wrote programs to remote control the machine. we spent a long time on it, we wrote programs in java and in c++. we ahve also spent time on lego mindstorms and other robotics, typically 1 project per year. It got everyone's attention and everyone learned a lot from project.

  9. low radiation from nuclear plants on Could Nuclear Power Wean the U.S. From Oil? · · Score: 1

    heres a fact that might be interesting. In a properly running and contained nuclear plant, the nuclear plant will give off less radiation into the atmosphere than a coal or gas plant. as for nuclear waste we have plans to store it but no one will approve of it yet.

  10. probly wont work on Could Nuclear Power Wean the U.S. From Oil? · · Score: 1

    They say thay nuclear will wean the country off of foreign oil needs. First, we have 3 major uses of oil. Electrical, Industrial, and Automotive(or transportation). Each of these three actually uses about 1/3rd of the oil we get every day. We need oil for 2/3rds of those requirements (it would be a sad day when your car, running windows, crashes and has a meltdown at the same time). Although to say that electricity is 1/3 and make it sound like a small number is a farce in it self. If we do cut 1/3 by switching to nuclear, we will greatly reduce our dependence, but we will still require foreign oil for everything else. The other problem lies in the public's fear of anything that is said to be nuclear. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging had the word Nuclear removed because people would be afraid of it. Chances are that we would never get enough public support to open all the facilities up. The other problem we have is to open up a nuclear facilitiy requires a lot of funding and a long time to start making money on it. there arent a lot of places that are willing to just shell out money to open a plant because it takes quite a bit of its lifetime to start returning and that is only if there are no problems and demand is still there. We also have to recognize that there is no way to get X number of nuclear plants lisenced and approved, then pushed through construction and made operational in 5 years. They are huge projects. The last thing that must be considered, is we have no place to store waste. Until yucca mountain is approved, its not a good idea to just multiply the amount of nuclear waste we create.
