  1. Re: No it is not on Is Advertising Morally Justifiable? The Importance of Protecting Our Attention · · Score: 1

    Even blindfolded you still hear the ads in the supermarket or the mall.

    If you're so against ads why do you advertise Soylent News in your sig?

  3. Re:Global Climate != Local Climate on 2014 Was Earth's Warmest Year On Record · · Score: 1

    That's right. Here in Western Europe it was pretty warm during winter. Many ski pistes stayed closed until very late in the winter.

  4. Re:The Gods on 2014 Was Earth's Warmest Year On Record · · Score: 1

    He's right you know. But what he doesn't seem to realize is that mankind will make the Earth uninhabitable for itself. Ironic, really, being the first species that causes its own extinction.

  5. Re:Your post doesn't conform to their prejudice on Man Arrested After Charging iPhone On London Overground Train · · Score: 1

    My god, someone is seriously reacting to that.

  6. Re:"I've lost my password" on Apple Drops Recovery Key From Two-Factor Authentication In New OS Versions · · Score: 1

    Indeed! Besides, every Apple fanboy knows that Apple would Never do that!

  7. Hasn't MS always been about the next version?

  8. Backups are for whimps on When Will Your Hard Drive Fail? · · Score: 1

    Many people still don't make backups. Even most of my friends don't, and most of them are quite tech-savvy or even hardened by experience. When one of my friend's hard drive crashes I always laugh at them and say: "Backups are for whimps, no?" That seems to be the only way to make them take backups seriously.

  9. Re: I really don't care... on American Pharoah Overcomes Biology To Win Triple Crown · · Score: 1

    It's called 'animal cruelty.'

  10. Re:There is no such thing as non-empirical science on Have Some Physicists Abandoned the Empirical Method? · · Score: 1

    LOL. Monied, thank you :)

  11. Re:There is no such thing as non-empirical science on Have Some Physicists Abandoned the Empirical Method? · · Score: 1

    But even theories are falsifiable. Newton's theory of gravitation was falsified by measurements on the orbits of Mars, for instance.

    Exactly. It then stays what it is: a hypothesis, not a theory.

  13. Re:Not converted on Presidential Candidate Lincoln Chaffee Proposes That US Go Metric · · Score: 1

    Don't forget you crashed one space ship already due to your stubborn adherence to imperial units.

  14. Re:Meh on Presidential Candidate Lincoln Chaffee Proposes That US Go Metric · · Score: 1

    A European kilo is also two pounds. At least it is here in the Netherlands. Only those pounds have a different mass than yours.

    They may have a hazy idea that there are other countries on the planet, but those countries don't count because they're not as awesome as the US is, according to them.

  18. Re:Quothe the raven, "Forevermore". on There Is a Finite Limit On How Long Intelligence Can Exist In Our Universe · · Score: 2

    Just look at dolphins. They suffer the unfortunate fate of having no hands and living in the water. Despite their enormous brains they haven't come far in understanding the universe and using that knowledge to their advantage.

  19. Re:Could be interesting, but will Uber last? on Uber Wants To Buy Nokia's Mapping Services · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Uberpop is already banned in Germany I believe, and my government (in the Netherlands) is thinking about it.

  20. Re:Will wormholes work FTL in this flat universe? on Shape of the Universe Determined To Be Really, Really Flat · · Score: 2

    That's what I thought too. And the conclusion of the article is 'We don't know the shape of the universe because we can't see far enough.' So the title of this is wrong too.

    And they forget that back in 1200 communities were small and EVERYBODY around you knew all about you.

    Please show us where they said that. I'm curious!

  24. Re:The Perfect Bait on Two Gunman Killed Outside "Draw the Prophet" Event In Texas · · Score: 2

    Just organize these events regularly and you'll smoke out the crazy jihadists.

    Organise a "draw Jesus sodomizing Mary" contest in Texas and you'll get crazy Christian jihadists doing the same thing. If you set up an event specifically designed to insult/offend/antagonise a particular religion, you're always going to get a response like this from someone.

    You don't even have to mock a religion. Look here: http://youtu.be/pKcJ-0bAHB4

    They're both loud xenophobic idiots.
