To paraphrase Robert Heinlein, "if some men like to stare at women hula-hooping, then at least some women must enjoy hula-hooping while being stated at by men, otherwise there is something fundamentally wrong with the human species".
If some men like to kill and dismember women then at least some women must like being killed and dismembered, otherwise there is something fundamentally wrong with the human species.
However, I'm hoping there is some sense in the long term. Eventually we are going to move to nuclear power, or end up being overrun by a country that has done the switchover
Yup, French forces are massing on your southern border as we speak, having sneakily moved up from Guiana.
(Did you know Cayenne is only 3452 miles from Harlingen, Texas?)
Yup, if you run 10,000 sets of random data though his code, then pick the 100 results that look most like a hockey stick (turned either way up!) you find that those 100 results look like hockey sticks.
Torture? Maybe, but who was the torturer?
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise, fear and surprise; two chief weapons, fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency! Er, among our chief weapons are: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and near fanatical devotion to the Pope!
McIntyre and McKitrick's code selected 100 simulations with the highest "hockey stick index" from the 10,000 simulations they had carried out, and their illustrations were taken from this pre-selected 1%

Well it wasn't the US that bombed Pearl Harbor.
Wasn't the evil Nazis either.

Females.... They are never satisfied.
Your dick's to short
And he only uses his tongue to whine.
from something offensive, we knew it was doomed.
Yeah, 'cos people who live in countries called Niger and Nigeria get real offended by some guy called Negroponte.
Idiot.
It's pathetic that you would even dare to compare Thatcher to Stalin.
It's no wonder why you people now live under an oppressive surveillance state.
Run, unsurprisingly, by the heirs of Thatcher.
Obligatory xkcd
The world would be a far better place if more oil was produced in, and exported by, liberal democracies.
They would probably get less liberal and less democratic as time went on.
See, for a minor example, Margeret Thatcher.

Economics - how does it fucking work.
Yes, folks, it's only 7 March and cayenne8 has already made the stupidest post on slashdot for 2014.
This is what "death by powerpoint" looks like
Can you imagine how many people died because some clown thought that that made sense?
you can count Richard Feynman among the superstring skeptics.
Appeal to authority.
As a matter of fact, the FAFSA and University grants were both in excess of my tuition and books costs by about $1,500 every semester,
What are these "university grants" of which you speak?
(Disclaimer - I was paid to go to university in 1977-1980, UK, but I was under the impression that this system no longer exists).
Reading up on it it seems that "FAFSA" is very like the system that used to exist in the UK when I was in education.
Now I'm confused.
Bitcoin isn't a currency and never will be - it's just a gambling scheme like playing roulette is.
Remember the old joke, why don't the Brits make computers? Because they haven't figured out a way to make them leak oil yet.
How could that be an old joke? Please name me a time when the Brits didn't make computers.
100% wrong?
Seriously?
Please point out one major error in the WG1 part of AR3 (2001).
Damned, already spent my mod points.
Hey, idiots, this isn't a troll, it's insightful and informative.
NIF is for bomb testing. It's nothing to do with power generation.
And I don't have them on my car, I cannot afford $1k on tires every winter
Do they only last one winter?
Fantastic comment. Sorry I have no mod points.
I have mod points.
And I'm not going to give him any!
The power, the shear unadulterated power!
Bwaahahahahah!
It's not as good as Google Maps in the things Google Maps is really strong in,
Like telling you where Adolf Hitler Platz is?
Take the A701 road south from Danané (Côte d'Ivoire).
Google doesn't show the town of Zouan Hounien. Many smaller places are shown.
Odd given that it's a prefecture.
In fact it looks like Google has lost track of many towns in the area, often administratively important ones.
They all show up in OpenStreetMap.
My comment did not mention Hiroshima, but Hiroshima is an idiot for dealing with companies that are known to be shitty.
What, twitter?
But his code has been shown to fail the Monte Carlo test, or feeding it random data to see if random results come out:

I suggest reading the entire section "A Tale of Obstruction (2003-2004)" at the web page, it is a sordid tale.
It certainly is sordid, being a tissue of lies, deliberate misinterpretation and error.
For the uninformed, what M&M did was:

AAARGH. Here comes the undead army.
You just can't keep a good zombie down.
Not wanting to live in a cesspool of feral idiots is not classism or racism..
That's why most sane people don't want to live in "gated communities", which are perfectly described as "cesspools of feral idiots".
