  1. Re:Who owns the asteroid? on Earth-buzzing Asteroid Would Be Worth $195B If We Could Catch It · · Score: 1

    Whoever can land on it. Possession being 9/10s of the law and all that.

    Not true at all.... possession != ownership I am so tired of people parroting this crap fact. Someone mod parent down... There is zero insight here, just a typical Law and Order viewer who thinks they know what the Law is.

  2. Tuesday of DOOOOOOOOM! on Slashdot Asks: Are You Preparing For Hurricane Sandy? · · Score: 1

    I hear it should hit us on Tuesday, as I reside near Worcester, MA. Currently I have taken care of my barn yard and two greenhouses with my brother. We intended to get a jump start on the "action". Tomorrow we will split wood (which has to happen regardless) then get gas for the generator, check and run the generator, prep the chainsaws, gas the trucks, fuel the tractor, field-strip/clean/oil our firearms, get beer, get scotch, cook dinner, yada yada. Then do whatever else is required (I think shower, but my girlfriend is currently not around... sooo if a tree falls, right?) but that really isn't much of a change of habit. I just hope my chickens and crops do ok with the 6-10 inches of rain predicted to hit.

  3. Why does Science need Religion? on Ask Richard Dawkins About Evolution, Religion, and Science Education · · Score: 1

    My question is as follows: Agnostic vs Atheist; does one need to have a stance on god? I understand the war on science as I do see it often. I also understand your points about making a stand for science... but is it really needed to promote science? That is, why/does science need religion in someways to make distinctions between reality and fantasy? Thank you and I will take my question off-air.

  5. wow on EFF Uncovers Widespread FBI Intelligence Violations · · Score: 1

  7. Re:It Depends on the Forum on Worker Rights Extend To Facebook, Says NLRB · · Score: 3, Informative

    that is exactly correct. it is called a concerted protected activity!

  8. Re:It Depends on the Forum on Worker Rights Extend To Facebook, Says NLRB · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I believe one of the aspects the NLRB is protecting here is the right to complain and collaborate via email or other electronic means. collaboration is key here. You would not be protected in speech based on saying something like "My boss John Doe is an incompetent asshole" because there is no collaboration there... its just a statement. I could be wrong here, but as I understand it, you would need to add in something to the effect of " my boss john doe is an incompetent asshole and would anyone like to start a group or get together and talk about it?" The reason goes back to some basic things like the right to form unions with out being fired, threatened or physically stopped (this used to be very common (Pinkertons)). This is not a groundbreaking decision here... any labor lawyer could tell you that... the real headline here is that this is how it should be and soon the Congress will most assuredly do everything they can (short of blowing up the NLRB) to stomp this out of existence.

  9. I'm feeling lucky on BP Buys "Oil Spill" Search Term · · Score: 1

    "I'm feeling lucky" sends me to the wiki for oil spill. USA dude here.

  20. workshops on A Home Lab/Shop For Kids? · · Score: 1

    I too grew up with a workshop that had a bit of everything...from wood working to electrical, plumbing and metal working. The most important aspect of how the workshop dynamic influenced the person I've become is how it related to my daily life. Whatever I was doing in the workshop had a direct impact my life outside the workshop (and quite often vice versa). Kits are great, so are silly projects that have little utility other than the fun of dreaming it up and playing in the shop.... its all about the process and what you can learn that you then take elsewhere. -mahalo

    I would contact the Attorney General of your state. This is clearly something they would like to be informed about as it sounds like fraud. I would also tell the store that you plan on taking said action.
