Today China announced its plan on building a moon base to extract helium-3 by 2050. In other news law makers in the house passed a bill okaying a 100 billion dollar package to promote more liberal arts and business degrees.....

By the time a student graduates high school, he or she has effectively had somewhere between 50-100 different adult supervisors, learned to work in groups, learned the importance of deadlines, had to follow rules outside of their parents, and met a variety of people. I'm sure there are plenty of home-schooled individuals out there with a high IQ, making big bucks. However, I also believe there is probably a large percentage of them who have social problems because of their lack of "social experience". There is also another group I'd like to bring into this and I'll refer to them as "testers". Testers are students who turn in very few homework assignments, but still pass the class due to their ability to soak in knowledge without homework support by scoring high on tests. In a way, testers are a hybrid of unschooling and class room students, because they spend their extra time doing something they "love", rather than doing pages and pages of math problems. I know quite a few "testers", especially in the IT/CS field because they were so addicted to their computers at a young age.

Tipper Gore approves!

Saharan desert lan cafes rejoice! Now #cc-power can grow to scam even MORE fat and lonely over 30-something githeads.

How the hell did these stations survive past the 90s? Seriously? This technology should be fazed out and the frequency bands allocated to something worthwhile. Radio was going the right way in the late 80s by playing local bands and more underground music, but that changed during the 90s and any kind of underground music was gone by 2000. (unless you listened to a college AM station) Since Pandora supports a broader range of music from Beethoven to Burzum, I hope they cause these shitty stations the pain they deserve for making my radio useless. Even the local 80s station stopped playing 80s music and started playing coldplay.... wtf? If I was Pandora I would try to team up with verizon and use that new wireless they are working on to compete with the radio. People who listen to music will pick Pandora; people who like to listen to short, ugly guys talk all day , will pick the radio.

True. I always found it sad that my SSN and other personal information (Mothers Maiden, Home Address, to name to name a few) was at the hands PVTs and PFCs in admin.

how our tax money is put to good use in these perilous times with the portrayal of a swat-like raid on a software pirate. You know because he probably spends the money he saves, by pirating software, on assault weapons, hardcore drugs, and danky craigslist girls.

That if I could trade a piece of my soul for the newest hardware, I would.....
