  1. Specious reasoning, judge. on Worshipping the Flying Spaghetti Monster Isn't a Real Religion, Court Rules (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Many view religious texts as composed mainly of allegorical stories. Satire is highly allegorical, and well suited to teaching precepts. The judge seems to be making the rather unsupportable contention that religion must be "serious".

  2. Dis iz whut i bin sayin' fer years ... on Study Says People Who Continually Point Out Typos Are 'Jerks' · · Score: 1

    ... all dem ejoocated types iz assholes.

  3. So, to narrow this down ... on Researcher Measures Brain Reactions To Donald Trump (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

  4. Any suspension of shameless self-promotion ... on Slashdot Asks: Should NPR Stop Promoting Its Own Podcasts and NPR One App On Air? (boingboing.net) · · Score: 1

    ... likely falls under the rubric of "un-American Activities". My word, how can they not realize this? They are covering the election, after all.

  5. Re:This should get the big players motivated... on Research Suggests 'CS For All' May Mean Lower Pay For All · · Score: 1

    What I mean to imply is, if the major players take the message that bringing more women into IT will lower payrolls, they'll pump that strategy, as they do H1-Bs.

    In the end, the bottom line is a far greater incentive to corporate America that fairness or social equity.

  6. This should get the big players motivated... on Research Suggests 'CS For All' May Mean Lower Pay For All · · Score: 1

    ... to push women into IT.

  7. The appearance of his face ... on Why You May Not Like Ted Cruz's Face, According To Science (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    ... while hardly endearing, is decidedly less offensive than what comes out of it.

  8. Untrustworthy, making bad decisions ... on People Will Follow a Robot In an Emergency - Even If It's Wrong (gatech.edu) · · Score: 1

  10. That's beginning to approach the size of Trump's ego.

  11. Like the vastness of space ... on Advanced Civilizations Probably Don't Exist In Our Galactic Neighborhood · · Score: 1

    ... human presumption knows no limit.

  12. It must be understood ... on Carbon Dating Shows Koran May Predate Muhammad · · Score: 2

    ... that a key tenet of the Muslim faith is that the Koran is the unaltered word of God. This belief is perhaps even more immutable than the proscription against the iconography of Mohammed which has led to so much violence. Do not expect these findings to be accepted or go down lightly in the Muslim world.

  13. Don't worry ... on Chris Christie Proposes Tracking Immigrants the Way FedEx Tracks Packages · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... it's just a little code tattooed on your forearm. Oh, and we'd like you to sew this little gold star on your clothes.

  14. Re:Someone will get rich ... on Boeing Demonstrates Drone-Killing Laser · · Score: 1

    Pretty cool, but around here they'd need to target yellow jackets to have a commercial winner.

  17. Re:The mass hysteria ... on FBI Informant: Ray Bradbury's Sci-fi Written To Induce Communistic Mass Hysteria · · Score: 1

    My reading would suggest he was, however, more deist than theist; accepting a universal God rather than advocating a particular vein of religion.

  18. Re:The mass hysteria ... on FBI Informant: Ray Bradbury's Sci-fi Written To Induce Communistic Mass Hysteria · · Score: 1

    Your adherence to the principles of eugenics is noted. For reference, my use of the term "wingnuts" is not based in economics or social caste, but in the adherence to an ideology which is empirically disprovable. Thanks for providing an example of such.

  19. The mass hysteria ... on FBI Informant: Ray Bradbury's Sci-fi Written To Induce Communistic Mass Hysteria · · Score: 1

    ... has always been on the part of the wingnuts. They perceive themselves as the ultimate "victims" while trampling the rights and lives of any who dare question them. Of course, they justify it all as "God's Will", while pounding the Bible and wrapping themselves in the flag.

  20. A conservative bias perpetuating dysfunction on Police Training Lacks Scientific Input · · Score: -1

    It is no secret that law enforcement is populated with a largely conservative community. The attitude of, "we've always done it that way", tends to pervade conservative institutions. New ideas, even when supported by facts, are rarely welcome in such an environment. Or, as Stephen Colbert has observed, "Reality is well-known to have a strong liberal bias."

  21. Ad blockers really only block ... on Will Ad Blockers Kill the Digital Media Industry? · · Score: 1

    ... third party ads. If advertisers want to present their ads to the public, let them rent page space, like on a billboard. They can still track, though customized URLs, where the clicks came from, but will no longer be able to directly intrude on the relationship between the user and the page owner.
