    Do no evil, I might have to start calling Larry Page or Sergey Brin (Google founders) the axis of evil.

  2. Re:Email is the best on Why Email Has Become Dangerous · · Score: 1

    I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

  3. Re:Diebold's confession on Black Box Voting 2008 Election Protection Toolkit · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They got away with it in 2000 and 2004. Surely they believe themselves unstoppable now.

    Then why wasn't the 2006 senate election rigged, oh because your side won.

  4. Re:Hell no. on Should IT Unionize? · · Score: 1

    The code doesn't change that much, you use a certain gauge of wire base on the trip amperage in the breaker so heat will not build up in the wire, this value will not change and has not for more then 20 years. The distance a circuit breaker must be from a gas line is determined by the voltage (max arc distance) once again electricity at a given voltage will not arc farther in a few years so no change will need to be made.

    They used Black helicopters in the theft as well, please take off your tin foil your paranoid delousing hurt your cause.

  6. Re:Air Force losing relevance? on Air Force Suspends Cyber Command Program · · Score: 1

    Why not role everything up into one branch, that way we eliminate the bureaucracy because making things bigger eliminates bureaucracy.

    Tactically the Air Force plays a different role then the other 3 branches, they may be used to support the other branches but emphasis on certain practices will be lost if the army were to take over. Right now the US can dominate the sky providing close support for the troops on the ground. If the army took over their emphasis would be in supporting the ground troops (drones) and the development of new technologies to maintain air superiority would be lost against countries like Russia.

    The Democratic one is just as bad, this country is made up of idiots and these questions are designed to fool them.

  9. Re:Teacher's have it easy on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 1

    An Education degree is easy to obtain which means there are more of them, the more people with your degree the less your degree is worth.

  10. Teacher's have it easy on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 1

    The average teaching salary is 45k, they get their summers off so accounting for 3/4ths of the year it means they would get 60k a year if they worked year round. The reason you don't hear teachers complaining about their pay is because they are compensated well for their expertise (the year I got my undergrad 40% of education majors were on the deans list less then 5% of engineers were).

  11. Re:Health care, what health care? on Your Medical Treatment History Is For Sale · · Score: 0

    I have empathy, just not enough to give away my hard earned money to people who made bad life choices, or who are unlucky. Living forever is not a right you sleep around and get AIDS it's your fault and you should pay the consequences not me.

  12. Re:Health care, what health care? on Your Medical Treatment History Is For Sale · · Score: 1

    The reason why health care providers ask for medical records is so they can rate your risk, it's the same reason car insurance companies look at your driving record.

  13. Re:Security theatre on "Clear" Air-Travel Pass Data Stolen From SFO · · Score: 1

    It's high time we created a P.I.P.A. Personal Identity Protection Act, where the companies that have your personal information are responsible for it's protection. This alone would stop Blockbuster from asking for my info to rent a movie.

  15. Heart Rate Monitors on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 1

    You will have a new toy and when exercising you can keep your heart rate up there by maximizing you results. 100 bpm for beginners is a good target rate regardless of what your doing the most important thing is to keep it around 100 bpm for an hour. Once you in better shape interval training works wonders 150bpm for short periods and recovery until your rate is at 100bpm again repeat for a half hour with 15 min warm up and cool down. Interval training will give you more of the prolonged BRM increase you would get with weight training, which you still need to do.

  17. Re:Real Story is on No Gap Found In Math Abilities of Girls, Boys · · Score: 1

    Now that teachers are giving more time to girls and teaching in a more gender neutral fashion, the scores are becoming more equal.

    All that has happened is now the males are not excelling so it appears girls are catch up but realy males are being slowed down.

    Its sad, so many people have gotten used to having unfair advantage, they consider it their birthright. White males tend to be the worst whiners.

    Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, I rest my case, now you can go back you your white man hating ways.

  20. Re:Heh, heh, heh. on GPS Tracking Device Beats Radar Gun in Court · · Score: 1

    Parents are supposed to know where their children are and what they are doing, that's part of being a parent. Parents making sure their child is accountable for their actions behind the wheel is a good thing, the testosterone to brains ratio in teenage boys is much too high to expect them to drive safely all the time.
