  1. Re:To me, the really sad thing is... on After 10,000 Years, Farming No Longer Dominates · · Score: 1

    What is sad to me is that agriculture is shrinking at the same time the demand for food world-wide is increasing.

  2. CNN on Explosion at Scaled Composites Kills 2, Injures 4 · · Score: 3, Informative
  3. Selling Partners on Microsoft Segments Linux "Personas" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I bet that the "Selling Partners" just happens to be a company named Dell.

  4. Self-taught? on The Hidden Engineering Gender Gap · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wouldn't co-op and training defeat the purpose of being self-taught? I think it could be that men are typically more interested in engineering than women are and so they are more likely to go out of their way to teach themselves.

  5. Re:This is disingenuous Media spin on What's the Problem With US High Schools? · · Score: 2

    Living in Detroit and knowing about the Detroit Public Schools I'd have to agree. The problem with Detroit schools are that they are a bureaucratic mess. The schools focus on the jobs of the administration rather than the teaching of children. Even tommarrow they just announced that instead of the traditional half-day off before Thanksgiving they are having a full day and I'm not even sure why. The teachers in Detroit are worried about their jobs so they just pass almost any person that shows up to their class. If the burocracy is eleminated then the children will have a better chance of graduating and heading to college then droping or bearly graduating and going straight into the workforce.

  6. Question on Egypt Arrests More Bloggers · · Score: 1

    My question is why do they arrest them? Don't they know that the more the people are suppressed the more they rebel?

  7. Re:West Coasters Left Out on Here Come the Leonids 2006 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Don't worry. It's mostly cloudy/raining on the east coast.

  8. The link on Stephen Hawking Looking for Assistant · · Score: 5, Informative

  11. Slashdotted on Easy Fix for Scratched CDs · · Score: 1

    And there goes another victim of slashdot.

  12. National Geographic on The Physics of Superman · · Score: 1

    National Geographic just did a show on the physics of Superman and trying to explain his superpowers. I found it quite interesting.

  13. Meanwhile... on RIAA Claims P2P Has Been Contained · · Score: 5, Funny

    Pirate 1: Arrr! The RIAA ship has been swashbuckled! Pirate 2: Ayye! The fools even think they sunk us! ARRR!

  14. Re:Ouch $550 on Universal Radio Grabber: the USRP · · Score: 1

    That's why they said: almost anyone.

  15. Stutter on Model of Inflatable Space Station to Launch Feb 16 · · Score: 1

    I didn't know you could stutter while typing...

  16. Related Stories on Infinium Tries 'Phantom' Name Change · · Score: 1

    I just looked at a few of the related stories and got myself a good laugh.

  17. MMOGs on Where's the Massive in MMOGs? · · Score: 1

    MMOG's failure is anything that caps what the player can do. WOW is a great game but capping it at level 60 will stunt its growth since players will reach there then stop.

  18. Re:You seem to forget... on Gamers Gain Political Voice · · Score: 1

    A perfect society is a society that isn't perfect.

  19. Yes they would have. on 'Games as Porn' Bill Passes Utah House · · Score: 1

    They would still commit the violent acts even though they do not play video games. They wouldn't use the ideas of violence from the games (aka: GTA).

  20. Re:Rising Force Online on A first look at RF Online · · Score: 1

    I was looking for a Radio Frequency game...
    Great job slaughtering all my hopes in life! >=(

  21. Government on Why The Net Should Stay Neutral · · Score: 1

    The government should have no control over the internet.

    If anyone should have any control I would hope it would the the universities atlest.

  22. Re:from the cnn article on pluto's successor on Slashback: OSS, Lawsuits, History · · Score: 2, Funny

    20 years and 1 day.

  24. Perfect Launch on Pluto Probe Launches · · Score: 1

    I was channel surfing and just to my surprize when I turned to MSNBC it had 15 seconds to launch. Fastest launch ever I do believe. They said that about 45 minutes after launch that it would jettison the main rocket and would be free sailing toward Jupiter and use Jupiter's gravity to slingshot it's self to pluto.

  25. I guess that... on Digital Content Security Act · · Score: 1
