  1. Re:Green or Yellow on Black on What Font Color Is Best For Eyes? · · Score: 1

    Sweet link. Yeah, I just didn't really buy the 'middle of the spectrum' idea. Seems like most people agree that Green actually does have the highest response for your eyes though. You learn something new ...

    I don't buy this. Just because something is in the middle of the spectrum doesn't make it easy to pick up. After all, 10KHz is in the middle of the human auditory spectrum, but thats easiest to hear. 4Khz has the largest frequency response, because that's the typical range of the human voice. It's based on what you NEED to see/hear frequently, not what's in the middle. Also, human response is typically a logarithmic thing, rather than linear.

    Yeah, it's called a modded Xbox.

  4. Re:Labor in the US on Study Finds Cost Major Factor In Outsourcing Positions · · Score: 1

    Have you ever done an engineering job for a military project? I would guess not, because you're making some pretty false assumptions without any facts or experience to back it up. Everyone that works on the development of military hardware has to be a US citizen. If a business/lab/etc has military projects they are prohibited from even hiring anyone that is not a US citizen. Furthermore, all of the development on those projects are done in the States, as there are very, very strict regulations on the development of those projects. I work at a lab that does such development, and we are constantly reminded of these very important restrictions (like not talking to anyone outside of work about what you work on). In my experience (which, to be fair, is limited), it seems the the DoD and the whole military industrial complex has things very well thought out.

    Hey, why dont we just put a giant mirror in space to reflect the sun's rays like they did on Futurama? How did that work out again?

    Or you can build your own, even better computer, for less than the Apple or the Dell!

    Alliteration is typically a repetition of consonant sounds. What you did is called assonance (the repetition of vowel sounds). Nice try though.
