"The majority of people believe that there is a god" ahhh, but they are mere people. Who cares what they think? We are talking about scientists! Sharp trained and finely tuned minds which guide us always towards the light.
Well all of the poor people who can't heat their homes in the West would disagree with you. Especially the pensioners who freeze to death every year because they are too scared to turn the heating on.
On the one hand "people *like* you" (not you, I know, but people like you - please I don't want to listen to your bitching about it) are happy for the third world shit holes to use energy "because they need to bring their standards up to ours" but on the other you won't defend the right of your own people to not freeze to death.
and very reliable. I do not understand why this technology is useful. It no longer pays to upgrade your computer, by the time you need to you can just buy a new one and transfer your data across. No need to upgrade the components. Unless you are a "power user" - in which case you won't be interested in this slow thing anyway. So, what is the target market?
At the time many people complained and said it was not a safe level. Not unlike that from most slash-dotters, the general arrogant response from idiots who think they know everything and claim "scientific consensus" based on poorly designed highly biased and well selected studies, and a few pay-walled papers which are written by authors whose careers are on the line should they go against the trend, was that these people were crazy conspiracy theorists.
Well, low and f*cking behold, eventually the US lowered the "safe" level of Fluoride and now claim that y is the safe maximum fluoride concentration where y is less than x! Well that means that x was an UNSAFE level of Fluoridation and they were in fact POISONING US! Suddenly all of the morons who claimed to know everything now have to walk around saying exactly what the people they ridiculed before were saying. But alas, they still claim that this poison should be added to the water supply, but at level y instead of x, and that it is compatible with a free society to enforce mass medication on an entire population even though they have already had to admit that they were adding UNSAFE levels to the water previously. NO! If I want Fluoride, I WILL ADD IT MYSELF THANKS.
Real truth is not relative. It is an absolute - but in this f*cked up world that we have created where black is white and 1+1=3, torture is "enhanced interrogation", a Jewish State for the Jewish People is not a racist state, truth is very relative.
Another one. Let's look at the Big Bang Theory and the expanding universe. A few years ago, it was complete heresy to even think that perhaps we actually don't know what happened billions of years ago. Anybody who dared to say that the universe might not be expanding was cut down immediately. In the Physics departments there was a lot of political shenanigans regarding the enforcement of belief in the Big Bang Theory. It literally became, and to some extent remains, a religiously held belief.
But, low and f*cking behold, now there are some papers coming out which say that the universe is not expanding. But before they said that we live in an expanding universe. Yes there are caveats and details but one cannot ignore the dogmatism that pervades our universities.
My point is that all of the idiot morons who appeal to "scientific consensus" think that they are so open minded and well informed and that they know everything (although they will claim that they are humble and do not) keep closing down the debates and the discussions on a variety of topics, but then they get egg all over their faces. They are the most religiously dogmatic of people. They pick up on a scientific theory and make it their dogma and woe betide anybody who looks at the data and arrives at a different conclusion. So-called "Climate Science" is the best example of this to date. As the planet continues to not warm for two decades in a row now, as the Antarctic Ice increases and they tell us it is increasing because the planet is warming (even though the data shows that the planet is not currently warming), we are likely about to see another massive debacle of the dogmatically incorrect "scientific community".
Well I've got my pop-corn all stocked up and ready for that one.
And don't get me started on Vaccines. Please, just don't.
These days it is more important to have a solid framework and set of libraries than to worry too much about the details of the underlying language that the framework is coded in.
e.g. PHP is not a great language IMO, it is good, but not the best, but Yii PHP Framework is awesome.
Stuff gets stuck to the plastic (bird shit, I don't know, something) and it sinks. Anyway, the ocean is massive so it doesn't really matter. We should dump all of our waste out there and let nature take care of it for us there is *loads* of room in the Ocean.
If every home started to pump energy into the system would the energy prices decrease by so much that it would not be worth new homes bothering to hook up?
Yes but the blacks who get frisked give the officer reason to suspect that they are up to no good because they dress like gangsters, stare aggressively at everyone within eyesight, swear every second word, smell of weed, wear their pants half way down their disgusting sweating ass cracks and generally deserve to be harrassed given that they are walking around making everyone else feel uncomfortable. Did Carlton from the Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air ever get frisked?
Er, no. Actually it is illegal for a Police officer to commit a false arrest. If he cannot find a reason to arrest you then he will not arrest you. Now, if you run away, or act like one of those perps in the TV Show called C*O*P*S, then doubtless he will have to arrest you for resisting arrest, or shoot you if he is menstrating that week.
Midyear 2010 Incarceration rates by race and gender per 100,000 US residents of the same race and gender.[44] Ethnicity Male Female Total White non-Hispanic 678 91 - Black non-Hispanic 4,347 260 - Hispanic of any race 1,775 133 - All inmates 1,352 126 732 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I...
These statistics show that if you discount the 678 per 100K of their population of whites who were incorrectly convicted of a crime due to miscarriage of justice, 100% of crime in the US is committed by Blacks or Hispanics. Which is why we have to concentrate on frisking black people in black areas. Okay?
"Other than that, you're forced to go native and it was pretty great." Cool. Glad to know that the poverty of most Cuban does serve a useful purpose after all. Oh, but they are so culturally rich though, you really must visit the marvelous nation of Cuba...
Well its like this. Eric is rich and works for Google, which like Facebook is most likely a CIA front for gathering information ready for the big purge. So what are the legal consequences of this visit for Eric? Well, er, none. Most likely the CIA would love to get plenty of data on Cubans, promote pornography, homosexuality, general deviancy, "democracy" (so that every four years they can vote for one of two puppets who have both pledged their alleigence to Israel and be happy under the illusion that they had a choice). Before you know it Cuba will be flooded with immigrants from India, China and Africa and all of the Cubans will be happy that they have been diversified out of existence.
But if YOU did it. Well you will be in big trouble bucko! So don't!
"Simply put, google feels bad about it's white male dominated workforce" I don't know for sure but I heard that the main racial group in google programming are Asians. Perhaps it is a myth and you have better information? Sources?
"Race is an artificial construct." How do you figure that it is artificial? Different races are obvious. Are you saying that you cannot tell the difference between a White, Black or Chinese man when you look at them? What do you mean by what you say?
If you do not have a smart phone (aka tracking device) then I am afraid that you will have given up your right to drive a car. It is all being done to make you more free and secure, you understand.

It is easy to imagine.
Start by imagining 1. Then add another 1. Then add another one. Then... when you get to 40,000 then you have successfully imagined 40,000 of them.
Now can somebody *please* go and kill that abomination called Python?

When we have a printer that can print copies of itself then this will really take off. Good bye Patent system?
That's a great observation! If I didn't already comment on this thread I would mod your right up.
In the modern world truth is relative.
Give you an example.
The US *used to* Fluoridate to level x.
At the time many people complained and said it was not a safe level.

Don't forget how the Jews sufferred during the Holocaust either. They need some help too.
