  1. Re:Ugh. on School Spying Scandal Gets Even More Bizarre · · Score: 1

    Actually, you're wrong about the home schooling, but you might be right about the rest. I could be a bit out of touch - probably due to all the fuckin' dope I did. I guess I overestimated kids these days - I must be having a "get off my lawn" moment.

    I have no problems with kids experimenting with drugs (illegal or otherwise)...but they should at least educate themselves on how to stay safe.

    Most folks tend to "stay safe" by not experimenting with drugs, illegal or otherwise. Just saying... not all kids are automatically predisposed to drug experimentation and for those that are, well, safety and drugs seem mutually exclusive anyhow.

  3. Alteration? on USPTO Won't Accept Upside Down Faxes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Could it be that the USPTO flipping the image constitutes altering the image?

    Did you read TFA? They tried that and failed. Stanford and Cal have referred to The Big Game for a hundred years or so.

    When considering survival in a limited-edition experimental craft, the first step may be to avoid riding a limited-edition experimental craft into the most dangerous place there is.

    I assume that it was chosen to conjure images of sparking off or kindling an e-book revolution.

    Or perhaps it was meant to conjure images of Nazis burning books in Germany??? Muhahaha... :/

    That's all well and good, but what will Ubuntu do in 90 years when the version numbering scheme no longer works?

  11. OT: The Caring Continuum on AT&T Sues Verizon Over "Map For That" Ads · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    When one usually states "I could care less", they usually mean "I could not care less". [e.g. "I could care less about linguistics."]

    In order for one to "care less" about a subject, they must first care about it somewhat. Saying "I could care less about ... " does indeed imply, nay dictate, that there is some degree of care.

    Sorry, and thank you.

    Shifting to neutral, steering, and braking in a coordinated fashion seems like a simple operation until you throw the iPod, cell phone, coffee cup, navigation unit, screaming kid, makeup, and stupidity into the equation.

    This isn't even taking into account future upgrades to the human visual system, through cybernetics, gene therapy, or whatever.

    Remember, we're talking ten years here, not one hundred. I don't think it's a safe bet to say we're going to have cybernetic improvements to the human visual system in ten years.

    Hardly a good metaphor at all since everyone knows martinis are made with gin, not vodka.
