Trivializing Watson: Envy, Fear, and Lack of Foresight as Anti-Intellectualism
Submitted by rernst on Thu, 02/17/2011 - 8:20pmI was waiting at the Honda dealership the other day, and reluctantly picked up the copy of the Metro News there after having read the other papers. Several pages in, there's a column by a fellow named Paul Sullivan called A massive effort to create a giant nerd.
Eco-packaging
Submitted by rernst on Wed, 05/28/2008 - 5:05pmRecently, my computer's power supply showed signs of going bad. It also had a bad fan, so that was further incentive to replace it. I decided on a replacement Antec 'EarthWatts' high-efficiency power supply. Furthering its 'eco' motif, the packaging was fairly minimal... egg crate spacers and a paper wrapper. The only plastic to be found in the packaging was the shrinkwrap on the outside of the box.
