  1. Re:HEADLINES on DeCSS Injunction Reversed In CA Case · · Score: 1

    Looks like its time to break out copy con and get the old alt key fired up.

  2. Re:It's the fitness function, stupid... on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 1, Interesting

    What would a fitness function for a fitness function look like?

  3. Re:It's the fitness function, stupid... on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 0

    Mod this guy up, oh ye with vast karma.

  4. Re:Dating Accuracy on Physics and Archaeology · · Score: 0

    C14 is created in the atmosphere and enters the biosphere through photosynthesis.

    If you're wondering why he did it, I'd encourage you to reread Job, or to vastly summarize: Who the fuck are you to question why god does anything. He's god.


    So says God, but the story itself makes clear at least one reason why God did something: he's a jealous prick.

  6. Re:Scientific method on Physics and Archaeology · · Score: 0

    BZZZT! wrong!

    The Creation theory requires faith because you go to hell if you don't beleive it.

    The Evolution theory requires, what? well, what every scientific theory requires: accuracy from itself, and nothing from its proponents.

    However, this is one point where honest people on both sides can disagree


    If they refuse to open their eyes.


    Evolution is a model for the observed variation in life. It is not a model for creation.

  8. Re:more accurate... on Physics and Archaeology · · Score: 0
    Bzzzzt! Wrong. You must consider the fact that technology beond your time is indistinguishable from magic or in this case, miracles. Show a caveman a lighter, and you will be treated as god.

    Because some being fools us into thinking its a god, therefore its a god!?!

    If some technology is indistinguishable from magic, that doesn't mean that its magic. BZZT! Think!

  9. Re:more accurate... on Physics and Archaeology · · Score: 0

    His was the ultimate, perfect sacrifice - the last sacrifice. A guiltless man paid the price for guilty mankind (think division by zero :) ).

    Up till now, Christianity had me confused. Now I'm totally baffled. I'd really love to see an explanation of this.

  10. Re:wouldn't it be nice... on Robotic Scorpions? · · Score: 1

    >The military is interested in these little >scorpions for recon, not weapons deployment. And if you beleive that I've got a bridge to sell you.

  11. Programming Nerds on 2b Or !2b: Shakespeare TxtMsg Contest · · Score: 1

    bb|!bb doesn't make any sense: It's a decision, not a value (random()%2) ? bb : !bb;

  12. Re:Popper on natural selection and falsifiability on Human Genome Confirms Evolution · · Score: 1

    You've hit upon something very important. Natural Selection must be a tautology and that is why it is so difficult for people to grasp it. When a child asks why a Giraffe is a Giraffe, well, there's no there there. There's nothing deep, there's no additional meaning.

  13. Re:Scary scary scary on Supreme Court Rejects Free-Speech Challenge · · Score: 1

    It ought to be tought in philosophy, but also in biology, since it is an important foundation of modern Biology.

  14. We broke the Second Law on Reactionless Space Drives Taken Seriously · · Score: 2

    set up two zero-point rockets welded nose to nose, turn em on and leter rip, and you've just created an eternal small star.

  15. Re:Don't Talk Smack About Ghost in the Shell... on Lord of the Terabytes · · Score: 1

    I would say don't talk bad about bladerunner till you've seen the director's cut. This is one of the few films I've ever seen where the directors cut truly saves it.

  16. Re:Phylum or Family? on New Phylum Created After New Creature Discovered · · Score: 1

    Keep Plates Clean Or Family Gets Sick. OT, If anyone cares to know, plants have divisions inplace of phylums.

  17. Can You Imagine... on When Locusts Attack · · Score: 1

    A Beowulf cluster of these Bugs?

  18. Proof that god is running on Can One Electron Hold Infinite Data? · · Score: 1

    Infinite data in the Universe is no proof that God is not running us as a simulation on his computer, because He/She/Thing has got the universe stored on his own electron.

  19. Re:Sort Algorithm on Can One Electron Hold Infinite Data? · · Score: 1

    Also, what of bit rot, particle mutation or the particle dying? I think any practical device would have data duplicated accross an array of Cesium Atoms, when you access data, you access all at once.
