Government involvement is not needed. People must stop buying or keep circumventing.

I don't think IE will go away until such point as alternate browsers come preloaded on new machines. It seems a majority of users only use the software that was installed when they bought it.

I was all for banning knives, but I thought we were talking about sentient knives that were killing people. You are saying it is young people doing the killing? In that case, ban young people!!!

My elected representatives have assured me that spending without any thought as to how I will pay it back is a wise course of action.

I'm 24, but I tend to be absentminded and have a horrible memory, especially as it relates to things outside my daily routine. I read a book recently though that was astounding. The Memory Book. The concepts in this book can be used to memorize basic information (I memorized all the US presidents in an hour or so), appointments, people's names, etc. I wish I had read this back before high school. It is something everybody should know. This is starting to sound like an advertisement. Umm...BUY TODAY!!!

Some questions were obviously chosen because there are specific misconceptions regarding that issue. For example, the president has the ability to declare war, doesn't he? After all, our presidents have been sending troops all over the world for decades without congressional approval. But that is wrong. Only congress has that power. "Separation of church and state" being granted by the constitution is another common misconception.

Wrong answers to questions on central planning vs. free markets, however, are due to a devotion to a philosophy that is just wrong. I'm sure those elected officials were shocked that they got that one incorrect.

So yes, you would expect that no group could do worse than 25% when given 4 choices, but when the questions are chosen with misconceptions in mind, it becomes far more likely.

Any law that restricts someone's freedom (other than to prevent them from using force on others) is a bad law, or rather, morally wrong, regardless of continent.

Everybody is saying this woman is stupid. That may not be the problem. She may be otherwise intelligent, but she is greedy, and that overrides her reasoning.

This woman wanted money she didn't earn, and got what she deserved.

Same here. I have to have a fan on to sleep well. But not because of noise, because of silence. I need white noise to sleep. I can't sleep in absolute silence.

I used to live 20 feet from train tracks. On the other side of the tracks were a parking lot and a baseball field (college). Fighter jets often flew low altitude bombing runs (or something) right over me. Not too mention yelling drunk college kids. I could sleep fine through all of that...but a silent room kills me.

What country is that? I may want in.

I have a product that switches a video CODEC between multiple networks of different security classifications. Anybody have any ideas for a good name?
