"Rebecca Hains says she was going through security at the airport in Las Vegas when a TSA agent pulled her aside and said the cupcake frosting was 'gel-like' enough to constitute a security risk."

5  Politics Central / Soapbox - general discussion / Penn State, my final loss of faith
« on: November 13, 2011, 01:50:39 AM »

Guest columist at Washington Post On Faith section.

"I’m 31, an Iraq war veteran, a Penn State graduate, a Catholic, a native of State College, acquaintance of Jerry Sandusky’s, and a product of his Second Mile foundation.

And I have fully lost faith in the leadership of my parents’ generation."

Fierce stuff.
6  The Tech Section / Tech News / Commentary / Developers Pulling out of US Google/iOS App Stores
« on: July 16, 2011, 04:57:10 PM »

Patent trolls are going after small and big developers at US app stores. This is especially hard on the small, independent guys like IconFactory.

Kootol is the newest patent troll:

The tech industry is one of the few industries still doing relatively well in the US. This kind of crap will kill it.
7  Water Cooler / This and that / California to Require Gay History in Schools

"Though the new law will take effect in January, state textbooks and curriculum will not be updated for several years. In the meantime, local school districts will have to use supplemental materials in the curriculums."

This should drive more than a few people up the wall.

In a word: Karma. And even more surprising, liberals and libertarians have more in common than you might think.

11  Water Cooler / Humor / Buckley on Atlas Shrugged
« on: May 09, 2011, 03:26:32 PM »

William F. Buckley had to flog himself to read Atlas Shrugged. One of the worst books I was ever forced to read.

12  Water Cooler / Humor / Where was Donald Trump's Hair Born?

“Time and time again, Donald Trump has refused to produce a certificate of authenticity for his hair,” said Leeann Selwyn, a leading Balder.  “This is tantamount to a comb-over of the truth.”

As the article points out, excessive military spending is indicative of a fading empire. 3500 years of history shows that. That means it will be a long while before China approaches anything like the current US spend - which is 50% of all military spending worldwide.

IMF used purchasing parity instead of GDP to make the case that China will surpass the US as the world's biggest economy in 2016.
