Pains me to see this kinda stuff go on...

Troll doesn't quite cover it in my eye, its pure criminalized harassment.

Re:Stanford announces 16 free online courses for fall quarter on Sunday September 09, 2012 @07:33PM (#4497460)
A question for someone in the know that see this.

Are these qualifications the sort of thing you could include in a CV?

Being only 9 months in my first IT job it looks pretty bare right now, in need of padding.

SFW?
No sources, no comment from any company or organization.

This is the kind of work you'd expect from the sun, trash paper.

Why would you do it this way??

If its correct a child could spot problems in all that data. I thought American politics was smarter then this =(

And yet, 50% down, its still over priced!

This is a 10-15 billion company at best.

Much like Zynga its the lower ranked staff that will suffer most from this =(

Getting bored of Hackernews being used as an internet slander machine. I think the age old rule of 'Not your personal army' needs to be enacted here =(

I personally think whoever is in the white house will be lobbied and will give in to the agenda of these large studios.

Always nice to see a fight back against Americas world policing policy however!

Re:Global Warming's Terrifying New Math on Friday July 20, 2012 @03:46AM (#4269856)
I actually came here to question if we want our climate science from the rolling stones.

After reading the article it seemed both extensive and broken down well for a large audience that may not be the original target for publications in this field.

Should we also expect to follow pop culture? the classic description of a grey turning up following science fiction and newspaper publishing.
Good news! Although am i the only one a little disappointed that this is only the 2nd we've wiped out in our long history?

> most people in the world don’t really think about us or care about us

The only times I've glanced an eye across the pond is when something incredible stupid happens. Examples: George bush gets elected, George bush gets elected again, Vote against free health care, Illegal wars for resource grabbing.

Gonna be down voted massively for this but its important to understand we don't always pay attention because your doing something right, quite often its the opposite.

Are the DoJ scared of an innocent man and a team of highly skilled lawyers?

Agreed. Especially with 'phones' like the galaxy S 3 looking more and more like mini tablets.
I've followed this story (as best as one without a physics degree can) for quite a while now and it still confuses me.

Can anyone tell me how this will effect my life in the next 10-15 years to justify the excitement?
