  1. Re:Really? on In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins · · Score: 0

    I hear this a lot and it makes me laugh. While sometimes I think the atheist view comes off as angry, it's definitely not a religion. I think quotes like "Atheism is a religion like abstinence is a sex position" locks in the lack of merit of your argument.

  2. Re:Autonomous vehicles on Vans Drive Themselves Across the World · · Score: 0

    To their defense, I see this situation very much along the same lines as to why we still have legacy Intel x86 architecture in our new chips which obviously could benefit from completely re-hauling it. In reality Intel even tried to re-haul it with their Itanium line, but as well all know, that didn't catch on. Everybody already has software that they don't wish or need to replace. So in order for them to move forward and sell new stuff, they have to conform. Although I noticed it's tricky getting 16-bit stuff to work in Windows 7 (who remembers "You don't know Jack"?!) We're stuck with the roads whether we like it or not. But man, I would love a society where I didn't have to drive anywhere. We should petition this to be put into the moon colony long term design :)

  3. Skewed Data on Study Finds Fast-Food Logos Make You Impatient · · Score: 0

    Obviously if you make someone think of food, they have a better chance of becoming hungry AND yes, that will make them impatient. Flash some images of food and I bet you'll end up with similar outcomes.

  4. Re:Inflation on $60 Games Are Here To Stay · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and I'm pretty sure I paid more than $60 for the original Phantasy Star on the SMS.

  5. Research being done on botnets on Is the Botnet Battle Already Lost? · · Score: 1

    Hey, I attended a computer engineering graduate seminar at my school (University of Central Florida) last week, and the topic was about Modeling and Measuring botnets. Dr. Cliff C. Zou had some novel ideas and has recieved a grant from the NSF to further his research. His published works can be found by searching google scholar (I just checked).
