Tell that to all the people that got Chrome shoved onto their system and made the default when they downloaded a completely unrelated program like CCleaner or Java.
I'm pretty sure I've seen that. Along with the checkbox that says 'install Chrome'. You make it sound like it's a completely silent install much like those PUPs (ask Jeeves etc). Sounds a tad implausible.
Are you quite certain it is automatically made default? I seem to recall that being done via prompt/reminder.
The shrill tone doesn't help much with credibility tbh.
An organisation doesn't want to publicly discuss their IT infrastructure? Doesn't want to be involved in free publicity for a giant corporation? What has the world come to.
I've heard that about Bruno as well. I cannot get my head around a guy who won't at least insincerely apologise, given that he is to be burned alive. Either he was afflicted by a weirdly impoverished imagination with respect to one particular thing (being burned to death) or he was a full-blown badass.
The Bible is a catalog of archetypes and has no interest in knowledge of the objective universe for its own sake.
But I imagine most Christians would be offended if you described the Bible as purely a work of fiction like Ovid's Metamorphoses or Aesop's Fables..
It's sad that people have to be offended. But a lot of offending needs to be done. Time to grow up. This is the real world. Time to drop the fucking fairy tales.
Yeah. The beginning is T=0. Talking about 'before' is like talking about heading north of the north pole. Outside of this context though, I cannot think of any good reason why the universe would be unique, or why this process would happen once and only once. That would be much, much more contrived than an infinity of such events.
Inflation, specifically eternal inflation, makes this kind of model inevitable, and strongly suggests that our universe is merely part of a wider universe in which inflation stopped, and in doing so created gigantic amounts of mass and energy by borrowing against gravitational potential energy. Inflation has critics and is not universally accepted, but it appears to be the best we have at the moment.
Although I, like many in the western hemisphere, was expected to believe all this as a kid, I cannot honestly ever recall seeing a good reason to credit it any more than Snow White.

USA elected Trump. USA wants this to happen. All the other shit Trump does - voted for. Enjoy the next 3.7 years or so. (Or is it 7.7? lol).
Generalising by age is even more fucking stupid than skin colour.

I assume this is sarcastic.
Got ourselves a sharp one here.
The millennial were forced to take the blue option before they were old enough to know anything - again ignorance is bliss.
Better to be a sad Socrates than a happy pig.
Everyone optimizes for Google.
Google actively don't want you to 'optimise' for them because it compromises their fucking ranking system. That's a dumb as fuck comment.
Teenager. Do you know what that word means? Not many of them are paying off college degrees.
Spoiler alert: the parent/s is/are supplying the money.
Their parents do buy them music, which is the main reason why I cannot have the radio on.
Have never been a huge fan of Apple, but genuinely don't know what the fuck you're on about. Is this a thing or are you just mentally... divergent? ;)
Yeah. Oh, and sub-orbital flights are a piece of piss.
In other words without the patent troll, inventions by small inventors and even medium sized companies become worthless.
To be clear, I'm not protecting the patent troll tactics or way of conduct.
If by protecting you mean defending, it really looks like you are. With weird logic.

The whole "Mars" wankfest
Mars wankfest? Is that a thing in your head or something?
Many appear to be highly qualified in areas like law.
Curious here. What other 'areas' are many of them highly qualified in? Because from what I've seen, it's pretty much just.... law.
It had to become sentient to make sure we didn't detect the real Higgs. Duh.
This whole thread will be a fanboy shit-slinging-fest.
To boldly go where no [cock] chicken has gone before
No strikeout tag on slashdot? Sad!
A 'VR office' seems like overkill. All you need is a computer and a VPN. Maybe a keyfob for 2-factor auth. Should be plenty.
Sounds like the driving test is too easy. That's probably the best place to start with this kind of thing.
Please, at least reassure me that you're going to keep on juggling your own poop. Some activities are not for soulless automata.

Today we learned that fred911 doesn't know what a 'cult' is. Thanks fred911. Galileo's dead btw.
