Please reconsider. The problem is that the two party system is here to stay. The only way to take back our government is to fight from within. Get involved and help take it back! Do not throw your hands up in disgust, rather get them dirty in the fight to bring about common sense and decency!
Comment From a friend of someone down there (Score 2) 182
A friend of a friend just posted this on FB and I thought it was really interesting: "We know someone who is down there right now. They actually have to have heaters in their refrigerators to keep them from getting too cold."

That would have to be either a very large Best Buy store or a really small isle. Do they have outlets in Polynesia?

Submission + - Retail copies of Office 2013 are tied to a single computer forever (geek.com) 1
An anonymous reader writes: With the launch of Office 2013 Microsoft has seen fit to upgrade the terms of the license agreement, and it’s not in favor of the end user. It seems installing a copy of the latest version of Microsoft’s Office suite of apps ties it to a single machine. For life.
On previous versions of Office it was a different story. The suite was associated with a “Licensed Device” and could only be used on a single device. But there was nothing to stop you uninstalling Office and installing it on another machine perfectly legally. With that option removed, Office 2013 effectively becomes a much more expensive proposition for many.

Comment What about the server side? (Score 5, Insightful) 313
Sure, learn enough client side tech and you can fumble through putting together an interface - but what then? What about storing state or any number of instances where you need to talk with a DB or do some type of server side magic?
And another thing to consider, it's not just learn some HTML, JavaScript and CSS - it's also figure out how the different browsers handle the quirks of each of those technologies. It's one thing to be an informed consumer, and an entirely different thing to be a backseat driver who does not actually know how to drive.

I just had another look at Article One, Section Eight of our Constitution, and do not see anything that could grant this type of authority - am I missing something?
Comment Re:Doesn't work on a live brain (Score 2, Funny) 95
A slab of tissue — in this case, from a mouse's cerebral cortex — was carefully sliced into sections only 70 nanometers thick. (That's the distance spanned by 700 hydrogen atoms theoretically lined up side by side.) These ultrathin sections were stained with antibodies designed to match 17 different synapse-associated proteins, and they were further modified by conjugation to molecules that respond to light by glowing in different colors.
In case you were wondering, you have to be dead to be scanned with this technique, and it doesn't look like they will be able to press a button and scan a whole brain.
I'm not so sure that this small technicality will stop the TSA from installing one of these scanners

I wonder if they have thought of combining this with the smog busting paint previously discussed here?
