  1. Re:I love hearing right-wingers complain about EPA on Environmental Enforcement Agents Targeting Guitars · · Score: 1

    The reason I mentioned Nixon is because the EPA is his legacy, and it's fun to watch rabid right-wingers attack it as if were installed by a group of Birkenstock wearing hippies.

    Nixon certainly was a right-winger. He may not have been a fascist like most of the current right-wingers, but he was definitely right-wing.

    Just shows you how far to the right America has come. Reagan couldn't win a Republican primary these days, even though he's their patron saint. Once upon a time the Republican party wasn't anti-conservation and anti-science. Now you have to deny evolution to get a seat at the table.

    Playing a texas holdem addon in WoW isn't quite the same as building a 16-bit processor out of mincraft blocks and redstone circuitry, now is it?

    This is right up there with TimeCube, except TimeCube had a lot more thought put in to it.

  8. Re:...And? on Linux Support Fades For 3Dfx Voodoo, Rage 128, VIA · · Score: 1

    That's actually pretty damned cool! However, Doom 3 still doesn't count as "latest software". Still neat to see someone got a very stripped down version of the game running on a Voodoo2 though.

    The only movie I can think of with a Gimp in it, was Pulp Fiction, and that came out in 1994. That's two years before the software came out...

    That's not a faith, and taking your logic to it's outcome, then nothing can be learned 2nd hand, and science doesn't exist...

  13. Re:God Particle on No Higgs Just Yet · · Score: 1

    That's science... If the theory predicts the Higgs should be found at a certain range, and it isn't, then the theory was wrong, and it's back to the drawing board. This really isn't that hard of a concept to grasp if you want to. I have a feeling though that you just like the game you're playing.

  14. trolldot.org on Why Amazon Can't Manufacture a Kindle In the US · · Score: 1

    I remember when this place used to be news for nerds, and now all I seem to see are people posting in science research articles to whine about tax money, and then pop over to stories like this to explain why slave wages are good, and how evil unions are.

  15. Re:Religion & Science - mutually exclusive on Teacher Cannot Be Sued For Denying Creationism · · Score: 1

    If only all religious folks thought like you did, there wouldn't much of an issue at all. The only thing that made this confrontational were the creationist fundamentalists that have been trying to insert their beliefs in public schools.

  16. Re:Both sides should stop. on Teacher Cannot Be Sued For Denying Creationism · · Score: 1

    Stop trying to put creationism in the science class and this wouldn't be an issue. It's not controversial for a science teacher to teach evolution. It's also not controversial for a science teacher to explain why creationism isn't science, when asked about it.

  17. Re:No-Brainer? on Teacher Cannot Be Sued For Denying Creationism · · Score: 1

    Secular humanism isn't a religion, and it certainly isn't any type of established state religion, so your little "argument" is over right there.

  18. Re:News for Nerds? I speculate No! on Teacher Cannot Be Sued For Denying Creationism · · Score: 1

    If standing up for teaching science in the science classroom isn't for the "nerds", then what is? The people who make this a flamebait topic are the creationists who troll every website they can find that mentions evolution, or the teaching thereof.

  21. Re:Long term Id fan here... on Rage and the Tech Behind id Tech 5 · · Score: 1

    I've always wondered what the actual story was behind his departure, because it almost seemed like tension between Reznor and Devine. There were vague statements at the time, and they both left the project in a relatively short time period of each other. I know in an interview years ago, the reason Reznor gave was that the project was taking too long and he was itching to work on more NIN stuff. At the time it seemed like a very diplomatic answer because he sort of blew it off and moved on to another topic.

  22. Re:So much wasted time... on Interview With GNOME 3 Designer Jon McCann · · Score: 1

    Look at my UID number. Do you honestly think I even used Gnome 1? I mean really. Not all of us got started in the 'good old days'. For me, Gnome 2 was the reason I finally started liking Linux. When I got started with Linux the popular DEs were Gnome 2, and KDE 3. So for me this is only the second time I've seen an enormous amount of work just flushed down the toilet. Now years later KDE is actually getting pretty good, but now here we are right back at square one with Gnome.

    Now you can proceed to call me a n00b fool that doesn't know wtf I'm talking about anyway, and that I should just STFU and not have an opinion, because it's just free software. Right?

  23. So much wasted time... on Interview With GNOME 3 Designer Jon McCann · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I still find it utterly unreasonable to just scrap the Gnome 2 desktop. It was the most stable, "just works" DE for *nix, and they just threw all that work out for eye candy. I tried to like Gnome 3 but it feels more like a toy than KDE4 did when it came out. It makes me wonder how many thousands of development hours were just flushed down the toilet for this. I could understand it if they used Gnome2 as the foundation, and added to it, but they didn't.
