Idiot progressive says that computers can be racist as well:

Idiot progressive accuses people of being racist when in fact the stupid bitch confuses her own search history for racist topics suggested by twitter. The cow was LOOKING for racist stuff about herself... didn't find it apparently... then saw her search history and said "oh there's the racism I was trying to find"... Morons.

It's always a good sign that neural interfaces become more popular and most likely cheaper as they enter the consumer market. Although I don't see these as viable input devices for the "core gaming" industry, as conservative input devices still have the advantage of accuracy due to decades of engineering, these interfaces become highly interested for disabled people. But there are already a few projects where EEG headsets are used to control motorized wheelchairs, virtual keyboards and similar applications.

As for the fears of a mind police and thought crimes.
There are already plenty of options to create statistics of gaming behaviour, EEG readings could make this easier but will they show different things? For example if a player enjoys killing civilians in a video game, where he thinks nobody can observe him, do we need EEG readings to confirm this or is it enough to count the amount of civilians he killed, in which time frame and in which frequency? Functional MRI already seem to be successful in measuring racial bias in a better way than traditional tests. To my knowledge EEGs haven't been able to get the required neural responses to make these measurements so far.
Should we be afraid of a 1984 scenario or look forward to Google's Brain-Leech, which might be able to tell us what we want even before we know it even faster?

Academic records have been a hot button issue for the last few presidential cycles? Kerry, Bush had similar grades at Yale, Comparing the academic record of Al Gore, John Kerry and George W. Bush, John McCain's academic record, Gore's Dubious School Record. I personally am not asking, I really don't care to be honest. But it is a fair comparison. Neither candidate is required to provide any such documentation, precedent or not. If you feel you have not been given enough info about a candidate, then vote for the other guy.

The facts of the case are not quite as open-and-shut as they seem. The plaintiffs used the comments of a few to bootstrap their case against others. A few anonymous trolls posted most of the libelous and offensive statements. However, the plaintiffs chose to sue the operator of the web site and other posters (one of whom said something like "I want to lick whipped cream off the plaintiff") just to spite and out them. The plaintiffs intentionally didn't serve the operator of the web site to make sure he couldn't respond in court, while they negotiated with his colleague using the removal of the operator from the web site from the suit as a bargaining chip.

The plaintiffs and their agents also started a libelous campaign against the operator of the web site to try to get him fired. They falsely stated that he had written the posts, which was not true. The operator of the web site has brought his own lawsuit against the plaintiffs in the first action and their attorneys. The complaint in the second case is pretty damning, if true, and it's too detailed to be all made up.

You realize that both Yale and Harvard are, for all intents and purposes, free to anyone whose family makes less than $60k? And heavily subsidized up to three times that amount? Absolutely everyone who makes it in to those schools can afford to go... Yale Daily News Harvard University Gazette

Possible mistakes in article

At http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/21889 , the photo caption reads, 'Political activist Richard Stallman spoke against the resolution "Digital Restrictions Management should be illegal" at a Yale Political Union debate Wednesday night.'

Yet from reading http://www.yale.edu/ypu/blog.html , it appears that he spoke in *favor* of the resolution.

Also, you wrote at the end, "comic depicting a failed assassination attempt on Stallman by four masked men from Microsoft". According to http://xkcd.com/225/ , there are only *two* masked men, and they are not necessarily from Microsoft.

Ya right! And the "American" engineers (white christian Anglo male type) are vastly superior. Some racism never dies. The worst part is your English is really "the worse and unprepared". As to cheating on resume, here's all-American girl (former DEAN OF MIT ADMISSIONS) http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/20971 who actually cheated on her resume. She claimed to have 3 degrees which she never earned. But you have no complains about that, do you?

There are plenty of younger people that have both the experience and the aptitude to hold important positions. As an example, read about Marco Lopez.

A bunch of Yalies pulled a similar prank at this year's The Game, but there was no lock-picking or theft involved - just pure social engineering. They reconnoitered the Cantabs' stadium and designed their own card stunt. The day of the game, they dressed up as the "Harvard Pep Squad", and passed out their cards, without, apparently, raising an eyebrow. And not once, not twice, but three times (or more!), they got 1800 Havard students and alums to declare as one: "WE SUCK".

In their own words, or as told by the Yale Daily 'News'.

Did anyone here actually listen to or personally hear that speech or some of the followup interviews? The president of Harvard said something to the effect of, "There's different numbers of men and women in the sciences, and research should be done to see why: is it nature or nurture?"

Now, I don't know about you, but that sounds like a relatively innocent thing to say to me. I could see where you could misinterpret it... but it has sunk into the world's consciousness as a proven fact that the president of Harvard is a bigoted sexist jerk. This one incident simply doesn't seem to support that fact.

Yale Daily News

You're absolutely right, he did graduate from Ivy League universities given the chances that apparently neither you or I deserve. Did he get that chance fairly? No. Is he a hypocrite? Yes.

First Andover, then Yale, then Harvard, then the Whitehouse. Anyone who doesn't believe that the aristocratic power of Legacy exists has his head in the sand.

Huh? How are our farm subsidies causing problems abroad?

Here are a few links: 1, 2, 3.

U.S. Farming is way outside my realm of knowledge, but it seems obvious being sure we're able to produce our own food is quite necessary.

In fact I've been worrying a bit lately that we're migrating too much to a service economy and moving more and more production and manufacturing out of the country; we need the ability to produce our own goods, too.

You mean like another military power before the US?

For the moment, lets assume that we're only dealing with basic GM (accellerated hybridization) and not transgenic crops -- although, click here for a great article about how GM crops will save the environment. You can also hit up this editorial in, of all places, the Yale Daily News.

Well of course not, the media only reports the bad not the good.

There you go. Blame the media. Of course the media is doing the world a disservice and not reporting on the heroic job we are doing for our poor uneducated brown brothers.

Wait. I seem the remember some interesting statistics on the subject...
Oh yeah. FOX news, the most conservative network in America, is king right now. You can't really expect me to believe they wouldn't jump for a story about how well we treat our POW's.

You have to admit war is not perfect, but your still judging us. Until you've been in combat, you will never know.

I'm really sorry to hear you were a professional killer. That's sad.

You are right. War is not perfect. As Senator Jeannette Rankin said so many years ago, you can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.

Does that mean we have to mindlessly kill the innocent, disregard human rights, and torture civilians? I can't believe this could be true.

This sounds like those guys that come up to you in a white van and try to sell you 'hi quality' stereo equipment for 10% of the 'cost'.

If you hae never experienced it, here it is.

It has happened to me personally, three times, by the same white van.

World conquest through deception.

You start out as a lowly president's kid, only endowed with a small oil company and a baseball team.
The object of the game is to use deception and underground systems such as skull and bones to achieve world domination.

Pitfalls could include alcohol addiction, being bad at Political Science, and getting caught lying to your country.

Your objective could be a success however if you just talk to the right people

George Bush cant even read, I saw his college transcripts and his grades are horrible, he was in the slow reading classes inn highschool, all of the information is public record, do your research, Bush is not Yale material just like those minorities you cited were not Duke material.

Someone who goes to Yale and has a C average at Yale does not belong at Yale.

I suppose you would have laughed at Thomas Jefferson and guffawed at how you were _so_ much smarter than him (from you community college nonetheless!!!). Thomas Jefferson, like Bush, couldn't speak in public to save his life.

Thats just my point, George Bush should have been in community college with me, not at Yale, he is only at Yale because of his last name. George Bush has no excuse, unlike me, this guy was rich, went to the best schools in the country, and still can't read. He can blame it on dyslexia if he wants, but thats no excuse, he sucks at math too, just look at his grades.

I look up to people who started with nothing, like Bill Clinton and then work their way up into Georgetown, Harvard etc, someone like George Bush who clearly is not Yale material gets into Yale just because his father was President pisses me off.

You can say hes not stupid but you know thats a damn lie, the guy is STUPID, if you are rich and privileged you should be able to get a 1500 or so on your SATs, and you should be able to get at least a B average from Yale.

Thomas Jefferson, didnt he have slaves? Thomas Jefferson was intelligent yet stupid.

Bush is just plain stupid, Bush's problem with speaking is due to the fact he cant read. Bush also cant do math, he got bad grades in economics yet he claims to know how the economy works, hes an idiot.

His official SAT scores, 566 verbal and 640 math.

http://www.yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=2636

He had a C average at Yale and hes intelligent? He pretty much flunked astronomy! ASTRONOMY!

He got a 71 in political science! A 70 in sociology! A 71-72 in economics!

This man pretty much flunked his way through college, professors cut him some slack and passed him because of his father.

I got an 80 in sociology, same class as George Bush, the guy is an idiot, period.

Here are some news stroies (Google is your friend):
* Palast, BBC journalist, says war is profit-maker for Bush allies
* Post-war carve-up to benefit CDMA standard, record industry
* Journalist says media is biased on war

I encourage you to check out Greg Palast's site. He is the BBC reporter that the original article mentions and the author of "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy". Interesting read.

IANAL, but I don't see how the level of [in]security matters. From the origional article:

she added that the presence of a disclaimer screen, which warned users of the site that it was only intended for the personal use of the applicant, made Princeton officials' use of the site vulnerable to a lawsuit or even criminal charges.

The article is now on their homepage here.

Looks like the IIS server still can't handle the load (try hitting any of the .asp pages), but this page is static.

http://www.yaledailynews.com/"

The index page (which isn't slashdotted) has the article. http://www.yaledailynews.com/

Just go straight to http://www.yaledailynews.com, it has it on the front page which I would assume is static, and therefore less liable to give a HTTP 500 error.

you might want to link to this--the "high traffic" version of the article, since it actually works.
