Then make the minimum wage a living wage. Except that'll never happen because to get back to 1968's buying power for those on minimum wage you'll need to set it to at least $15 per hour - more like $25.

Where the hell do you live? $25 an hour? Greedy cunt. Entry level IT guys don't make that (hell, they are lucky if they make $15!), and they have SOME skills. Burger flippers are a dime a dozen and worth FAR less than the $7+ an hour they are making now. Minimum wage is NOT MEANT to be a living wage! You are supposed to better yourself and MOVE ON from minimum wage. Jeebus... what are they teaching you kids these days?

You're right.. .not all investments make money (And I do not consistently get 1000% returns... but that would be OH so nice!) . But I have a vested interest in my investments... 401k managers do not. The point is to take your time, do your research (Slashdot has more than a few smart people as contributors and posters) and be invested in your investments!

I am a Hundred-thousand-aire, not a multi-millionaire. :-)

You both suck at investing... My Apple APR $550 calls were just sold (two weeks ago) for more than a 1000% gain.. in ONE month.10k into 100k in ONE month. My DEC calls should return the same once the fanboys buy into the iPhone 5 later this year... You gotta do your own investing. Don't rely on the funds to do it for you! (BTW, you could have bought 1/10th the number I did for about $1000 and made the same % return).

Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed 1352

A survey of American voters by World Public Opinion shows that Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers of news from other sources. One of the most interesting questions was about President Obama's birthplace. 63 percent of Fox viewers believe Obama was not born in the US (or that it is unclear). In 2003 a similar study about the Iraq war showed that Fox viewers were once again less knowledgeable on the subject than average. Let the flame war begin!

D.C. Commuters to be Scanned With Infrared Cameras 452

owlgorithm writes "Washington, D.C. area commuters are going to be "scanned like groceries at the supermarket" in order to catch single-occupant vehicles who are illegally using carpool lanes. The article, from the Washington Post, says that infrared cameras capable of detecting human skin will be installed, rather than the visible-spectrum cameras in use today. So much for using dummies in the front seat."

Self-Tuning Electric Guitar 389

avirrey writes "The Technology Review has an interesting article on a Gibson Self-Tuning Guitar. Purist argue that you shouldn't need a guitar that self-tunes. Others argue that this will allow an artist to change tuning with one 'favorite' guitar, instead of having to swap out between songs." Ok I know what I think- freakin' sweet. Only technology will guarantee my sucking on the electric will at least be reasonably in-tune suckiness. Dear Gibson, Slashdot really needs to review your guitar. We'll need several review units and we lost your return address.
