    Used to play a lot of Doom/Doom II over a dial-up modem (P2P). Was generally pretty playable. No routing, direct peer to peer link.

  3. Funny how you can be a pretend doctor, and actually kill people, and that's just fine.

  4. The temperature of the water is the non-trivial problem. The other factors are relatively easy to deal with, but they play a far lesser role in the bleaching.

  5. Apparently all you have to do is 'nudge' it. So get fucking nudging.

    The current weather is fucked up from 20+ years of geoengineering.

    First person I've seen making this claim. Go ahead and cite it, the null hypothesis being that it's made up bullshit.

    Some people value irreplaceable biodiversity over some easily replaceable human infrastructure. You don't appear to be one of them though.

    Don't worry, the majority of slashdot thinks it's all a hippy fiction, so I'm sure everything will be just fine. Get some sand and dig a head-sized hole in it and you're good to go.

    So what happens if your operation on a terminally ill patient doesn't work and they end up dying? Oh no, we better not try.

  10. Sounds like a classic 'better than nothing' scenario to me.

  11. Uh, no. All of earth can go bad at once. It's not a quadratic equation.

  12. It is means it is? Should've put "it's" in quotes. Hoisted by your own petard!

    How about the pharmaceutical corporations, another that will freely kill for profits.

    Thanks for the red flag. You pretty much are guaranteed to be a crank saying this.

    Look up food babe. You'd love her. She shamelessly self-promotes by looking for ingredients that sound a bit science-y and then scaremongering them.

    Just because something hasn't been done yet doesn't mean it will never be done. Some problems are hard. Immunology is hard.

    Never underestimate the millennial's need to be lazy/feel special.

    I've only met a few people with these and none were 'millenials'. I dare say you see the dark hand of the millenial in all things..? lol.

  19. A side-effect of morons who have been indoctrinated by morons indoctrinating yet another generation of morons.

    Talks about "morons". Doesn't realise that definitions of words change over time. lol. Look in the fucking dictionary.

    I know what it originally meant, I also know that the meaning has changed. Somehow I'm able to get the fuck over it. You should try.

  20. I believe the FDA has had a recent ruling to the effect that anti-bacterial soap has to remove its health claims and/or remove the 'antibacterial' label. Because it's been demonstrated to do the square root of fuck all.

  21. Oh look another kid in the class desperate to show everybody they understand the original definition of 'decimate' from Roman times. Give yourself a cookie and shut up about it for a while, eh?

  22. "On a level with" != "Exactly the same as"

  23. Whether you're pleased about it or not, the modern definition has mutated from the original. It happens.

    Most people nowadays use it to mean "to completely fuck up".

    I guess these days we don't often execute one tenth of an infantry unit to encourage effort and loyalty.

    lol your threshold for credibility is based on price? Smart. Not got the brain for complexity eh? Don't worry, other people do. Your opinion is, happily for the rest of us, irrelevant.

  25. demolishes the standard model yet it never pans out. Ever.

    Go ahead a link a scientist saying the LHC will 'demolish' the standard model. Thanks.
