Thank you! Thas was an interesting article marred by overt political tones, and a distinct air of anti-American sentiments. Why do people feel the need to politicize every freaking thing in the world? Why does every other post on Slashdot (or Fark, or any other site) have to include something about Americans being stupid or inferior or misguided, or the even more reflex-driven attacks on George W. Bush? I would be willing to be that you folks could politicize an article on cheese. Leave your politics out of my non-political reading, and maybe, just maybe, I might respect you. Shouting on the top of your lungs doesn't make you right, it just gives you a sore throat.
"Scientists say cheese is good for you"
Slashdot response: Except American cheese, which will PATRIOT act that, George Bush this, Kyoto treaty that until you are left with a pile of rubble and they take your oil, the jingoistic bastards.
My Contracts professor worships Posner, and has referred us to this blog. Posner was a federal judge and teaches now at University of Chicago. These boys, while a tad heartless (and a lot loony at times) have some really really interesting ideas about economics and law. Torts just happens to be the most bastardized area of law... Contracts is one of the most pure, so you can imagine how little my prof thinks of Tort law.
You know, Sony makes the CCDs in alot of cameras and camcorders, and even Canon, who makes a great deal of their own sensors, uses Sony products. Boycotts rarely work, unless they reach a critical mass, but the cleansing action of harsh sunlight and bad publicity will not do wonders for Sony. Unfortunately, at their size, Sony will be difficult to harm economically. However, a class action lawsuit, while benefitting only the lawyers monetarily, would have the effect of putting a pinch on Sony, and make it damn clear to them they were in the wrong and their behavior would not be tolerated, assuming they have actually done anything illegal.
I have a perfect understanding of what left and right actually mean, however, this is Slashdot, and I am far too lazy for coherent thought on a Sunday.
Are you on crack? How far up your @ss did you pull that one? I could say the radical left is the way it is because mommy gave them the tit until they were 7, but that would be just as baseless of a claim as yours. Have you considered a career in sociology?
Ah, nice to see that the Chinese Ministry of Propaganda is checking Slashdot now.
As I recall, the US and Russia aren't the only ones with a space program anymore.
Couldn't we call in a favor from China and get 'em to send up another Shenzhou rocket? I know their docking ports don't fit into the one on ISS, but you don't technically have to dock with the station to boost it...
1. Shenzhou capsule maneuvers near station
2. Grappling arm grabs a piece of capsule
3. Shenzhou begins burn
4. Grappling arm holds on tight, station accelerates.
5. Problem solved. NASA breathes collective sigh of relief, thanks China for their help.
Thank you KC8JHS for pointing this out so I didn't have to. HAM + BIZ = ILLEGAL. What he might be able to do is increase the range of his cell phone with an external antenna designed for a car or something similar (not sure if a yagi for a cell is illegal, but it would be great) with a ground plane added (stick it to a cookie sheet maybe?) might improve his signal dramatically, provided he was on high ground.

Didn't have the nerve to reply in person, hiding behind the Anonymous Coward, eh?

Hallelujah! I wonder if I spelled that correctly...

Yeah, um... Check out the rulings of the 9th before you connect this with Bush and terrorism...
Where can I get one of these magical deep-frying toasters?
