  1. Re:The church on Brain Surgery Linked To Sensation of Spirituality · · Score: 1

    I am not however too worried about the Catholic Church trying to take down science and reasoning as it doesn't have a recent history of doing so and even if it did most Catholics would resist that because they haven't been brought up that way.

    You sure about that?

    Why aren't we going faster?

    Because I'm already going the speed limit.

    Wow. I didn't even know goats could run 25 mph.

    Oh, never mind, it stopped at the neighbor's lawn.

  6. Bless me server, for I have sinned on Are You Using SPF Records? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's been, umm, a very long time since I've been to confession.

    It's true, I don't use SPF. I've at least got the TXT line in my DNS hosts file.

    But I'm using exim, which only has experimental support, and I'm too afraid to use something experimental like that.

    What should I do, server?

    Actually, this post is just an excuse for me to show off that I know the proper plural form of "octopus," which I might have looked up here.

    The only downside is the lack of professional support - Management doesn't have anyone externally that they can point at if something breaks.

  11. That much different? on The Science Credibility Bubble · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When there are people that espouse creationism, and that vaccines cause autism, it's obvious a lot of lay people didn't respect science before. How different can it be now?

    I've cancelled direct debits and my contract. Vote with my feet - if they want to be fool enough to sue me for the loss of the contract then they can expect to get countersued for the cost of credit monitoring. Until people start slapping the companies hard by refusing to do business with them this will carry on the UK data protection *laws* are good, but the *penalties* are worthless as a deterrent.

    Whom? T-Mobile?

    You must be a hit at restaurants. When the waiter gets your order wrong, I'm betting you tell everyone there to not eat at that restaurant again.

    "When it became apparent that contract renewal information was being passed on to third parties without our knowledge, we alerted the Information Commissioner's Office.

    It seems to me that T-Mobile did the right thing, and contacted the authorities once they figured out what was going on. You want to punish them for that?

    Although, you didn't specify anyone. Perhaps you meant the companies that bought information?

    The G1 would have been more successful if it wasn't tied to T-Mobile.

    I knew a lot of people--non-techies by the way--that wanted it, but T-Mobile doesn't cover where we live.

    T-Mobile is great if you live in a major city (I think, I've never had them), but rather crappy if you don't.

  22. Re:Another political cheap shot at public expense on NIH Spends $400K To Figure Out Why Men Don't Like Condoms · · Score: 1

    I'm scratching my head as to how you got modded insightful. The spending on this is pittance.

    There is one very obvious reason why men don't like to wear condoms ("it doesn't feel as good...duh").

    That's a good hypothesis. There should be data to back up that claim. If there isn't, there's no science to stand behind that claim.

    But of course, there are always going to be some selfish people who don't care about protecting other people's health, or reducing the financial burden on the public from diseases and unwanted pregnancies. All they see is a chance to score a benefit for themselves or their own cause--and if it ultimately at the expense of the public, well, that's not their problem.

    Of course, but if better condoms could be made, they'd have one less reason not to use them, and be more inclined towards them.

    I liked the movie for the most part too. The visuals were amazing. It got a little cliche towards the end, though. There were a few awkward jump-cuts, but not terrible (then again, the movie is already almost two hours long). Hopefully those will be in a Directors Cut.

    The biggest disappointment for me, personally, was the music. The requisite music from T2 was never there.

  25. Kindle Feature Request on Amazon Wins First Kindle Patent; Bigger Screen Expected Soon · · Score: 1

    I love my Kindle 2.

    One of the things that I really want from it, though, is to be able to use it in landscape mode, especially when I'm browsing the Interwebs. The default portrait mode is just too compacted for many websites.

    Maybe it's there, and I just haven't figured it out. Anyone know?

    Also, it would nice if Amazon would have an appstore. I'd like to use a fully fleshed out calendaring application rather than "books" that to which I could add notes.
