  1. Re:Genesis 6:3 NIV on New Study Suggests There's a Limit To How Long People Can Live (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Clearly the lifespan of humans was reduced, as you see people living 900+ years before the downgrade to 120 years, then afterwards, you see lifespans around 120 years. Whether or not the 120 years referred to both lifespan and time before flood, the lifespan results are logged as well.

    Instead of counting megabytes, like we used to count sms messages or minutes, just give unlimited usage, but limit the max speed. want the fastest possible speed, pay the highest price. lowest speed, lowest price. billing would be simple, but then there's no money made in simple billing.

  16. Re: Biased Article on Mark Zuckerberg Votes To Keep Peter Thiel On Facebook Board (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Thiel helped fund the lawsuits, obviously that part is fact. However, Gawker and other sites / people spin it like his intention was to bankrupt Gawker, whereas Thiel's own words say something different (from the NY Times article):

    “It’s less about revenge and more about specific deterrence,” he said on Wednesday in his first interview since his identity was revealed. “I saw Gawker pioneer a unique and incredibly damaging way of getting attention by bullying people even when there was no connection with the public interest.”

    Mr. Thiel said that Gawker published articles that were “very painful and paralyzing for people who were targeted.” He said, “I thought it was worth fighting back.”

    Mr. Thiel added: “I can defend myself. Most of the people they attack are not people in my category. They usually attack less prominent, far less wealthy people that simply can’t defend themselves.” He said that “even someone like Terry Bollea who is a millionaire and famous and a successful person didn’t quite have the resources to do this alone.”

  17. Biased Article on Mark Zuckerberg Votes To Keep Peter Thiel On Facebook Board (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "who recently admitted to secretly funding a campaign of third-party lawsuits to bankrupt Gawker Media"

    Peter Thiel never admitted that, according to the articles linked. It was Jay Rosen, media critic and a professor of journalism at New York University who stated that opinion.

    Also, half the links are from Gawker, which is obviously not an impartial actor in this spectacle.

    I guess reporting on board positions isn't that exciting without spicing it up with gossipy speculation of a person's motives.

    I enjoy all these new decisions by Microsoft; they accelerate the user migration away from Windows. It doesn't matter to me if users migrate to IOS or some other version of Linux; the sooner the Windows base erodes, the sooner we will have viable alternatives.
