I said "cost".

Well, now somebody's gotta do one with Descent sounds!

Ah, unions! Today I learned of a lumber company in Racine, WI that has to close its doors after 99 years of business thanks to Teamsters union pension liabilties. Apparently, when a union pension fund does poorly and becomes underfunded, as can happen in a bad stock market, the liability (payment) g...

I have that T-shirt; it's drawn much praise from Six Flags ride operators!

I still liked it. But yes, be interesting to see what can be created without it.

The Onion gave it a C.

You ever wonder if the guy who carved the calendar just said, \"Screw it, let some other guy do the next 2000 years!\"?

No auto industry bailout....! Out of the ashes of that fallen industry will come a set of competitive companies and better products. Trying to prop up what they have now is ridiculous at best. Companies have to be allowed to fail for companies to really succeed..... X3. We should not tolerate a han...

Using the stem as a nose is a clever idea, plus I'm somewhat partial to toothpick pupils--#3 gets my vote!

I'll recommend the Saitek X52, with the mouse stick set for sliding.

A damn shame. My heart goes out to you, Grizz

I'm only 30, so gender was never an issue. I was more or less forced to learn touch typing by my parents the months before we bought our first computer.

Conflict of parties, perhaps? I seem to remember there was a time when the prez and VP were different parties, and needless to say, they didn't get along so well.

Well, I suppose taking a stand against casual sex and the ills it brings about is bound to piss people off, especially those who enjoy it. I wasn't trying to put words in anyone's mouth, I merely seized the opportunity to point out society's need to keep sex unsacred, and implied that most abortions...

Sedwick

I think it’s far more practical to make abortion calls based on the needs of society , than on some technicality. So, let me get this straight: Our society needs to regard sex as a fun, casual indulgence instead of something sacred that should only be shared between marriage partners. Therefore, it...

That's part of what makes Thanksgiving so special still--its unspoiledness!

In continuing a tradition of mine, this year's jack-o-lantern features the presidential candidates.

I'm sure every president has assassination attempts at some time by sheer virtue of their position and the existence of extremists, and we don't hear about most of them.

Sedwick

Well, yeah, I just thought that was one especially cool quote.

Sedwick

Because the light from plasmons decays less than 100 nanometers from the metal surface, the photoresist material must be placed very close to the lens. To accommodate this limitation, the researchers designed an air bearing that uses the aerodynamic lift force created by the spinning to help keep t...

Interesting experiment with spare instrumentation. Well done.

But to verify that the gene implants were working, scientists needed to try them out on a cat, because the animals have much of the same genetic makeup as humans. ... ..wait, we evolved from cats? glowing cats? ;) Cool story, scary implications.
