BULLSHIT.

I know the Internet is hard, let me help you:

1) No it isn't. It's believed to be around 70km/s/Mpc. You're claiming 25kms/km/s/Mpc. Would you care to cite any evidence? Mine is the recent Planck results, which are in line with the Sloane results, in line with the WMAP results. Yours are.... well.... bullshit.

2) 3Mpc is not "about three million light years" unless you're, well, a fucking moron. A parsec is the distance at which a star subtends one arcsecond on the sky. That means it corresponds to more or less 206265 astronomical units. That means, overall, it's three and a bit light years. So your claim that a megaparsec is "about three million light years" is rather wrong, since it's more or less "about ten million light years" and even using Google, well, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=3%2C000%2... oh look it's 9.7Mly.

Is it possible that you know significantly less than your tone suggests? Why, yes! Yes, it is!

Then there is the XAML used for development now. Along that vein there is WPF, which is released in tandem with .Net, but is not actually .Net.

It may be they are not planning some new Next Big Thing, that will launch a whole new series of catch-up games like when they came out with .Net. However, I've been writing Windows applications since before the Windows 3.1 days, and have done my own share of following along as my code becomes obsolete as MS comes out with new development tools, and portation tools that simply don't work, requiring massive rewrites or writing new tools to do rewrites. Either way is a costly process. So, yes, I'm skeptical when Microsoft comes bringing Trojan Horse gifts.

It still is somewhat amazing to me, that time after time after time people fall for Microsoft promises and deals, only to find out too late, it was yet another Sun-Tzu Art of War trick. /.ers used to be smarter than this.

exactly what has he failed at???

Let me google that for you, you tragic little leftard.

See, here's the problem. When the susceptible, that is, those you consider genetically deficient, engage in a mass die-off, there is a rather immediate and severe problem with bacterial and viral outbreaks that have little directly to do with the initial vector. Disposal of bodies becomes a severe problem (I refer you to Google for massive and unequivocal reams of corroborating evidence), the economy takes it in the shorts as all manner of people in all walks of life fall victim, distribution of necessities are disrupted, water supplies become corrupted, many newly desperate people begin to engage in rapidly upscaled numbers of antisocial acts -- theft, violence, etc. -- basically civilization shits itself and falls in it. Into this uniformly unpleasant and dangerous swamp of defecation you, complete with the pure and holy genes that rendered you immune from the initial outbreak, will almost certainly fall. Along with your spouse, offspring, pets and friends.

So let's not get too excited about letting nature run wild when we have the ability to prevent it, shall we? Life is ever so much more pleasant when you can go outside without a surgical mask, automatic weapons, and night vision equipment.

Please quote that provision of the Voting Rights Act.

Let me Google that for you.

Geez, even Daily Kos is honest about this:

What if legislators didn't have to draw majority-minority districts? Democrats would lose big

The Voting Rights Act saw one of its main enforcement mechanisms gutted last summer in the controversial and partisan 5-4 Supreme Court decision Shelby County v. Holder. However, even without section 5 requiring many jurisdictions to pre-clear changes to the voting process section 2 remains. Through it and accompanying jurisprudence such as Thornburg v. Gingles and Barlett v. Strickland, states and other jurisdictions are effectively required to draw majority-minority districts under appropriate circumstances. ...

I'm all for breaking up companies that abuse their power of controlling content delivery by favoring their own products (waves to Verizon/Comcast RE: Netflix) however in this case I dont see it. A quick Google search for "tablet" where there is competition between Android, Windows and iOS based devices shows no slanting of any kind in the search results. I'm not in Europe so I can't say that I would get the same results if located there, but I would be interested in exactly what kind of evidence there is to suggest that Google is acting in an anticompetitive manner?

... environmentalists on the other hand ...

Maybe in the 1980s you could be forgiven, but post-interwebs there's really no excuse for this kind of ignorance.

Hmmm.... See the thing about feminist criticism and theory is that it's really not had much of an effect on fine art, or even very commercial art forms like film or music. A lot of movies are really sexist and chauvinist, and we can still say they're good. Fucking Casablanca is sexist, this does not have any effect on its value as a work.

I don't know why "gamers" would think it would be any different for video games. Unless they actually have doubts that video games actually have any redeeming social value, or are in fact art, and maybe most of them are just crappy retread storylines, which brings up the second point...

When there have been such outcries, they've rightly been countered by those who believe in free expression, even if free expression involves naked bodies, degrading imagery, etc.

Well you see that's kinda begging the question of wether or not video games are art in the first place; I'm a real skeptic on the question, I really don't think most video games rise to that level, and I'm pretty sure that if something isn't art, if its purely a commercial good, it may be regulated. This is basically consistent with US law and custom on the issue -- films in the US, for example, weren't entitled to 1st amendment protections until the 1950s.

Does Madden NFL 15 really deserve the same benefit of the doubt as Lolita? Does Electronic Arts really have the same moral rights as Ai Wei Wei? I think if a video game is going to be protected by "those who believe in free expression," the people making the video game, at a minimum, should have to cop to the fact that the game is actually trying to express something, but a lot of people on the gamer side of things seem convinced that video games are just "fun" and shouldn't have to "mean" anything.

Which is not to say that video games can't be art, I think many are, but appealing to artistic droit moral in the context of Call of Duty rehashes and the bland consumer experiences that video games traffic in nowadays is tawdry and completely unearned.

Here you go.

I work at an ISP and the we have played the same game that Netflix is playing now. We have several links to different providers. We move traffic in a way that overloads a peering link. They upgrade the link. We move the traffic to another provider to overload that peering link. Eventually we run out of providers or they cut us a deal and give us cheaper bandwidth than we could get from those providers. With the amount of traffic that Netflix drives this is very easy for them. The heads of the company know that this is bad for the user experience but choose to do this to reduce costs.

Long story short, if you're not hearing people say it should stop, it's time to open your ears.

You mean the gamergate guys who found the brazillian "journalist" who was attacking and doxxing anita? But she didn't want to do anything about it. Or people like geordie tait(who's anti-gg) attacking gamergate by calling for a new holocaust

Like the GG-harassment patrol which goes after anyone on both sides? Yep, nothing at all. Then again, I could ask where is the anti-side denouncing people like Briana Wu, Lee Alexander, or Mattie Brice.

I can not see how you can claim I wrote bullshit.

Because I have a background in both history and nutrition; there is no mainstream opinion in the latter field that says it's healthy to live off 1,500 calories a day. My background in the former tells me that people face starvation when they're forced to eat at those levels for extended periods. Research the food situation in Germany and Japan immediately after WW2; people were starving to death while eating the number of calories that you claim is normal.

You might also wish to educate yourself as to what BMR actually means. Hint: It's the number of calories required to sustain life in the absence of any other activity. Completely sedentary coach potatoes require more calories than their BMR if they're to survive in the long term. There's a reason why I used the sentence, "That's my caloric requirement just to stay in bed all day and do nothing." I even placed emphasis on the most important part of the sentence yet you still missed the point.

You're welcome to find a reputable source that says people in the mainstream of height/age/weight can survive on 1,500 (or even 1,700) calories a day indefinitely. The Mayo Clinic has an interesting nutrition calculator, perhaps you can start there? I input numbers for my height that are at the extreme low end of acceptable weight (130#) and still can't survive on 1,700 calories a day. That's with 'inactive' selected for activity level, in reality I'm anything but. I actually have to consume ~3500 calories a day to maintain my weight with my metabolism and activity level. That's a real number, FYI, from a fairly religiously kept food diary; not your nonsense "I had five beers and a pizza" calculation. Incidentally, I hate to break it to you, but five beers and a pizza almost certainly totals up to more than 2,000 calories. It may even be over 3,000 depending on the type of pizza in question.

Where did you read this last week? Just curious cause I'm always looking for other news sources.

"merely" an engineering challenge? Oh is that all?

If you don't see the distinction between a physical impossibility and an engineering difficulty, a discussion on slashdot is probably not going to be sufficient to illuminate this point.

Please describe how electrolysis works on earth first

I voltage is applied across a substance, causing a current to flow... Wait a minute... Why the fuck am I explaining basic physics? Educate yourself on your own time.

then describe how this magical fuel lab is supposed to work in free-fall with only radiative cooling.

Are other cooling mechanisms required for electrolysis to work? I don't get it. Pretty sure they electrolyze shit all the time on the ISS and I believe that too is in free-fall with only radiative cooling.

I supposed in your fever dreams it's liquefied, yes?

The magical fuel lab is liquified? No... and for that matter neither is the water. Water doesn't do "liquified" in the vacuum of space. Are you saying we lack the technology to melt ice? Seriously?

I also note your arrogance that you think there is only cashiering and NASA in the world. I guess at some point you had to stoop to buying parts somewhere and using a poor cashier somewhere?

Indeed, we should not denigrate cashiers but only those who would propose we continue to advance human technology.

Your colossal arrogance and your childish delusions are the end of you.

Are the end of me, eh? And yet here I am, replying to an AC. I don't feel ended...

It must suck to be so deluded you can't see reality and your only answer is "you must be a cashier".

"You must be a cashier" wasn't really an "answer", let alone my only one. It was more an argument that the "get over it" sentiment is very small-minded and unlikely to yield any significant advancement in the state of the art, much like cashiering.

You *know* space is dead, so you push your delusion even further out so that you think we need to go to space... so we can be in space!

Reasoning from a false premise (that I "*know*" space is dead) will not lead to a logically sound argument.

Delusional thought pattern. Completely bonkers, insane, unreal.

Fucking grammar, how does it work?

And what the hell is "Chuuch. Preach. Tabernacle." supposed to even mean?

Chuuch???

A reasonable person sitting an an Internet-connected computer might ask that question of Google before announcing their lack of problem-solving skills by asking to be spoon-fed some knowledge. However, since I've already blessed you with one link to lmgtfy.com, I won't burden you with another link to click. My sig is a reference to an expression of cordial agreement unique to American pimp culture circa the 1990s. It was popularized by Archbishop Don "Magic" Juan, a renowned pimp, as well as his friend Calvin "Snoop Dogg" Broadus Jr., a popular entertainer. "Chuuch" is the phonetic spelling of the word "church" as rendered in an African-American Vernacular English dialect that is more common in the southern United States. Your quizzical response to hearing it is reminiscent of one Brian "Marilyn Manson" Warner, who when asked by MTV staff about his understanding of the term, indicated his inability to correctly pronounce it as well as his total ignorance of its meaning.

Cool anti-space links though. Impressive rhetoric, a bit light on reason, but cool nonetheless. I bet they make for great talking points.

Exactly what evidence has convinced you there is a link between hep-c and liver carcinoma?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=%22hepati...

Can't decide if you're being deliberately dense or are just ignorant. You will note also the WHO link on the first page of results, among the plethora of other confirmations. The burden of proof is on you if you believe there is no link between hep c and liver cancer (what do you think these people are dying of, anyway?). This is like asserting there is no link between bacterial infection and otitis media.

Furthermore, if you're asserting that patients cured of hep c remain at equivalent risk to develop liver carcinoma as if the virus is allowed to continue wreaking havoc on the liver, then the burden of proof is on you there as well. Proposing a mechanism for that would be a start.

Seriously, next up you will be expecting pubmed citations (that you will reject out of hand) that beta-lactams have any bacteriocidal effect. Because that's what Alexander Fleming wanted you to believe, and the decades of results in research and practice are nothing more than statistical error or deliberate academic fraud.

You lack reading comprehension. You seem dead set on requesting something like this, so here you go:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sofosbuvi...

Surprise, the results are right there, without any need for you to feign some sort of difficulty trying to locate them on pubmed. It's almost like you're being deliberately disingenuous. Oh wait, it's not "almost like".

You're free to presume that a patient who has had their hep c cured is still prone to develop liver carcinoma/cirrhosis, but now the burden of proof is on you to propose the etiology and back that up with studies.

Since you have apparently found pubmed, though lack the ability to operate a search there, you can also see what imatinib has done for the survival rates of patients with bcr-abl.

But, you know, I already called it: you aren't convinced by peer reviewed studies.

Over a 10 year period from 1990 - 2000 only 175 people were killed by airbags while over 28,000 saved lives can be attributed to the addition of the airbag to the seatbelt. There are also a huge amount of people who still think that seatbelts don't apply to them, and an airbag might actually save them. While we could argue for the cleansing of the gene pool, I'll still take those odds. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=airbag+sa...

In other words, you cannot actually provide a citation.

Look, I believe the PTB are fucking with the timing to increase false positives just as much as you do. But a Google search results page does not a citation make. Otherwise, I have just proved that the holocaust was a hoax.

Here you go.

You truly are a blithering nincompoop, aren't you? Can't tell the difference between population and population density ...

Irony: calling the American Midwest "unpopulated", yet calling someone else (who points out that the Midwest is not, in fact, unpopulated) a "blithering nincompoop."

The word you may have meant to use is underpopulated. I know language is complicated, but despite sharing several letters, "un" and "under" do not, in fact, mean the same thing.
