  2. Google PR on The Google Toolbar PageRank Demystified · · Score: 2, Informative
    Some people may not know what this is about

    Its the Google PR displayed if you have the google tool bar installed

    This is old news - the pr that it displays is almost worthless and I bloged about this ages back here Back in April. We did some tests and created a stand alone page on a brand new domain that we got a displayd PR of 5 in a couple of weeks.

    Hmm So didn't they test the fricking generators (there where multiple units right ;-) ) every day! we ceartaily did at telecom gold one of the ops used to climb out of the window and fire it up every day and shouldn't the bateries have kept it going untill the generator could be started by hand.

    I know that the US's grid system isnt as advanced as the UK but realy. You can see why google wanted to locate near a hydro plant (wouldn't be suprised if Google buy that plant)

  7. Kent state on Kent State's Facebook Ban for Athletes · · Score: 1
    some one commented >"Adults can also choose to enter into contracts. Since these are students receiving athletic scholarships, >my guess is that it's legal to say 'If you want this free money, you can't use facebook.' It's the same >way that NFL teams can write contracts that forbid things like skydiving or riding motorcycles."

    Up to a point lord copper - you can sign any contract you like but there are overriding laws I can sign a contract that says I accept only 2 weeks holiday or sell my self into slavery. But it aint a valid contract in the UK the same principal applies in the stats.

    Theres also the issue that more black kids get sports scholarships - so one could argue that its direct or indirect discriminaton.

    Oh and this is from a senior HR/IR figure in a very big company that I got this info from

  8. Re:wow on Kent State Banning Athletes from Using Facebook · · Score: 1

    So A university can control what an adult can do outside seems very weird and arguably ileagal in several ways. 1 would be damgeing the athleats future carear/job porspects by denying them the chance to build a fanbase/profile and theres the whole constitutional issue which I wont get into
