  1. Think of the possibilities! on Has 3D Video Finally Arrived? · · Score: 1

    Think of the PORN!

  2. The upper hand on Study Claims Men Play Female Avatars to 'Win' · · Score: 1

    I met someone on WoW who said he picked a female character for a slight upper hand in PvP; his character was created and leveled up to 60 for the sole purpose of PvP and hitting High Warlord, so he picked a female Tauren Shaman because he said they're harder to target compared to a male Tauren, because of the size difference. (He hated Orcs, so he didn't pick an Orc female to be a Shaman) Unfortunantly I myself picked a male Human. What a horrible choice. I should have rolled Gnome.

  3. Re:Search Speed on MySpace Makes it to Top 10 Internet Sites · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think Yahoo! Finance is THE most popular finance site around. Most of the people I know who check their stock quotes regularly use Yahoo! Finance.

  5. Lose control? on Self-Parking Cars Coming To U.S. · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What I'm concerned about is what if you accidentally hit the assist switch while driving on the freeway, or if the auto-pilot device could be over-ridden, or hi-jacked, and perhaps you can lose control of your car, from some mischievous kid tampering with your on-board computer system.

  6. I've never technically been a district IT admin... on Being School District Admin? · · Score: 1

    When I was in highschool, we had a service learning requirement to fulfill as a graduation requirement. I T.A.'d for the teacher who managed all the service learning stuff, apparently he was a school admin in order to log into the system and directly input the updated data. The system was connected to the whole district, and did not distiguish between what school you were logging in from, so his account had access to the whole district's system. During the time period that I was working for him, the district actually changed the system, they upgraded a 25+ year old system called Prime to a new one named SchoolMAX. So I've had experiances with both systems, and both were pretty easy to browse around in the system, you can easily view everything on just about every student. Since I never was hired to actually be an admin, I never had the real responsibilities for the job. My job was to only log in to update students' hours on the system, although I could have done more ;)

    So does this clean your hands when you touch the surface?
