Comment context overlap (Score 2) 133
Without having read the article, it seems like this study might have a flaw. The brief description seems to imply an overlap in the two tasks: memorizing read words and hearing unrelated words. I'm not sure most types of multitasking are like this. I can context switch as long as there's enough switched. Besides, isn't real multitasking the ability to make progress on one task and then ignore it for a bit while making progress on another task? I hardly ever attempt to do *simultaneous tasks*.

The whole reason that Iran and North Korea even began pursuing nuclear weapons is because of that incredibly stupid "Axis of Evil" speech that George Bush made in 2003.
This Axis of Evil term was one he used "describing governments that he accused of helping terrorism and seeking weapons of mass destruction." I think the whole reason they began pursuing nuclear weapons is that they already pursued WMDs and nukes are just the shiniest of them all. Blaming something Bush said is incredibly naive.

Comment Two Types of People (Score 1) 313
Without speculating which category Jaffe falls into, I've noticed that there seem to be two types of people - those who go through life looking for meaning in it and those who go through life just trying to figure out how to get to the next [fill in the blank]. While meaning may not be strictly necessary for a challenge/reward based game, it certainly is appealing for some.
Submission + - SOPA and PIPA Votes Delayed After Internet Protest (cnn.com)
eegad writes: Looks like Congress finally realized that the groundswell backlash against SOPA and PIPA warrant giving the proposed solutions more thought before voting. Score one for internet protesting! This is only a hold on the current version of the bill which means that continual vigilance will be required for the next time these come around in an altered form.
