  1. Am I the only person who hates it when people... on Happy 300th Birthday Benjamin Franklin · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    wish "happy birthday" to dead people?

  2. Honestly---Lie on Computer Jobs -- How to Resign Professionally? · · Score: 1

    No one likes to hear that you hate your job. I just tell the boss that I am moving somewhere for family reasons or that I'm going back to school. That the commute is too long... that I want to spend more time with family. I never resign, disclosing my job as the problem. I find that they are generally very understanding that way :-) It also helps with references later. People are generally impressed when your old boss will give youa reference, since it means you left on good terms with everyone.

  3. A workable Solution on Cutting Through a Wi-Fi Traffic Jam? · · Score: 1

    I had the same exact problem in my condo. The solution is to switch the router to only use the "b" protocol, excllusively. Its much stronger and should cut through the noise.

  4. Re:Race != Nationality on Feds To Have Unified Biometric Federal ID System · · Score: 1

    While there may be a "compelling" (and I use the word loosely and in the legal sense) rational basis for government discrimination regarding such bans. I think they violate the basic rights of this country, and should be banned on principle. Besides, most second and third generation Americans have serious conflicts with previous generation as a result fo the melting-pot-effect.

    I think there is a very good argument for having citizenship requirements on areas of national security, not because citizens are necessarily more trustworthy that any other person (I actually think some immigrants love the US more than their home countries, and would love nothing more than full citizenship) but because citizens (in the global sense) have no national protections from any other country. A syrian or french national can always seek and will likey be protected by their embassy, who will go the exta mile to protect them from american extradition. However such embassies will not step forward to protect US citizens. Thus, buy limiting employment to citizens, the US reduces obsticles and improves it ability to hunt down defectors.

  5. The Government's been using these for months now. on Feds To Have Unified Biometric Federal ID System · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Has anyone here actually tried to walk into the PTO's new campus. These things are in full effect. You cannot walk into or out of any place worth going to on the new campus without having you little blue, red or yellow card with the chip in it. All entrances and exits are under survaillance to make sure you don't "accidentally" jump the gates. If you don't have the card... or forget it... you need to be vouched for and thoroughly inspected, and I mean they take all your gear apart. They know the second you're in the building. They have a list and they check it twice...

  6. Re:Welcome to BioDome buuuuudy on Russian Mock Mars Mission · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they'll have to use recycled cigarette filters to fix their damaged air supply after having a wild party with Mock Martians.

  7. Founding Fathers on Microsoft FAT Patent Rejected · · Score: 1

    Those founding fathers ruined everything when they wrote that silly constitution. They just had to stick in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 12. Everything was fine until that moment.
