    My hands can detect breast cancer, but only with women between the ages of 19 and 30.

    Because this gift came to me without cost, I refuse to accept money for breast examinations. Depending upon circumstances (and photographs), I will even make house calls from time to time.

  5. I suppose you'd also like me to "disprove" the existence of flying saucers...a menial task.

    The point, which you obviously missed, is that people far more qualified as pure thinkers are concerned...for reasons they've laid out on many occasions. Even the simplest google search should offer these arguments for your consideration.

    When you're done with that, you can go troll somewhere else...the pickings probably won't be so lean.

  6. So the "founding executive editor" of a publication famous for bum-kissing reviews of consumer electronics and not much else wants to contradict three people whose intellects, while vastly different from each other, compare to his as a tornado compares to a baby fart.

    Kevin, please STFU and go back to your strength...rewriting articles explaining why we should line up for a week to be among the first million people to own the newest iPhone.

    This is hardly surprising, considering how many conservatives find it necessary to acquire a "beard" in order to stay convincingly in the closet.

    And what better way to brainwash a helpless child into fundamentalism than to get hold of them when they're too young to think for themselves.

    And unofficially, amongst conservatives, the marriage in question had better include two (and only two) people, and there had better be one from each of the traditional two sexes, or the application is going to encounter a lot of unfortunate "accidental" difficulties.

    I have no doubt that in countries where abortion is legal, right-to-lifers will be lining up to crowd-fund this research, and to pay for women who would otherwise have an abortion to pop their fetuses into these artificial wombs and brought to term.

    And then, of course, they will act boldly to ensure that the fetuses are adopted into loving families...perhaps even their own!

    Yeah, right.

  22. Re:Key information... on American Farmers Are Still Fighting Tractor Software Locks (npr.org) · · Score: 5, Informative

    One farmer interviewed on CBC radio said the seasonal nature of farming ensures there's nowhere even close to an adequate supply of service people available when they're needed, and calls for service are often hundreds of miles apart. So during the time he desperately needs his tractor working, and could fix it easily himself, he's required to wait for hours or even days for a service rep to show up, plug in a USB drive, and fix some software glitch in a matter of seconds.

    The farmer, whose identity was protected, had downloaded "grey market" software to do such repairs himself.

    The manufacturer's representative who was interviewed afterward made a completely unconvincing case. He claimed they would have somebody at a farm almost instantly, and that they weren't interested in prosecuting farmers who downloaded hacked repair software. In other words, the manufacturer's representative was a bare-faced liar.
