    And? Why do we have a routine business sales article instead of an article on hyper-local weather forecasting?

    and it's not prediction, it's forecasting.

    Or and hacked word doc, or an image with an exploit, or a file with a virus.

  7. Re:Dissident Speech on Do Comments On Web Pages Ruin Science? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It has nothing to do with dissident speech. It has nothing to do with squelching actual scientific discussion.

    Read the damn study.

    There is no such thing as dissident speech in science. Ignorant, fallacious, and incorrect speech is another thing.

    There a re a bunch of ways to determine that.
    About 1% of the people might be subtle enough to get around it. OTOH if you are the subtle then it probably doesn't involve you.

    All you need right now is an HDMI cable and a controller for your pc.
    So if any of them are sick of not having a controller* it's there own fault.

    *Which is less responsive then a keyboard,

    keyboard and mouse allows for tighter corners and quicker turning.

    It's one the the major PitAs in having consoles and PCs play together.
