  1. Re:Cool on New Nintendo DS to Include Camera, Music · · Score: 1

    An interesting business move if it turns out to be true. These aren't massive firmware upgrades that would invalidate old DS'es for newer games. Instead, it would add two years or so to the lifetime of Nintendo's biggest success since the game boy. I'd say it's a smart move.

    "safe" in this context means
    "it sounds so scary that nobody will accept the possibility of it happening therefore we've won" - the republicans.

  8. The cages on Ancient Yeast Used To Brew Modern Beer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Apparently they are having some difficulty with the beer, having broken out of its electric fences, it's been chasing around the lab technicians.
    Hopefully they won't figure out how to open the doors.

    I gotta ask, how can you be considered "highly trained" without prior experience? It seems like a bit of an oxymoron.

  16. Re:This is actually quite educational on Judge Munley is So Out of My Top 8 · · Score: 1

    What I find scarier is that it is legal for the school to punish the student for calling the Principal a child molester, regardless of whether the crime was committed.

  17. Re:All hail the new king, same as the old king. on Obama Significantly Revises Technology Positions · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Look, there are a few laws that must be passed.

    Attached to each one are hundreds of laws that cannot be passed.

    Until this process is fixed so that this cannot happen, Congress MUST reject every single such law. No exceptions.

    "just deal" is how we ended up with 8 years of bush.
