  1. Re:wow, people still believe in the IQ myth? That on Single Gene Can Boost IQ By Six Points · · Score: 1

    If you're capable of understanding it. The parent however thinks he's smart because he can ask a question that others don't know the answer to and neither does he. It's a religious nutter cognitive dissonance thing.

    Now that we've reasoned out how many teeth the horse has, how about you take a look at the article and realize where you went wrong.

    I'm already alive. How about something to curry favour with Lachesis or Atropos?

    No, it's racist to think there are races when there clearly aren't.

    Ah, so talking to stupid people who don't understand the word 'culture' makes you feel superior? Because you don't seem to understand it either.

    No, just so much no.

    Please take a statistics course, it will help your understanding of many things greatly.

  7. Re:Six whole points?! on Single Gene Can Boost IQ By Six Points · · Score: 4, Funny

    You're right. We're going to need a helluva lot more than 6 points to get people like you to understand the significance of raising the baseline.

    Holy fucken shit.

    Easy there fanboi, you might want to actually understand what those words mean before you start throwing them around.

    Go google it and learn, because the simple fact you asked that question means you will not understand the answers, no and yes.

    Yup, the dead ones.

  10. Re:Adapt or die. on Electromagnetic Noise Found To Affect Bird Navigation · · Score: 1

    It's a little known fact that birds used to poo in pellets. Their new western diet just gives them diarrhea all the time.

  11. Re:I really object to this on Space Telescope Reveals Weird Star Cluster Conundrum · · Score: 1
    Except for yesterday when Science made the announcement that they created a simulation of the universe that worked out perfectly... though I'm not sure if that means that today stars are formed in the center and move outwards and yesterday they stayed in the center...

    Wait, what is science supposed to know? And why should science be against admitting that half the stuff they 'know' they don't really 'know'? Isn't that the whole point, to show that science is constantly approaching a workable approximation of reality, which it couldn't do if it actually 'knew' anything?

  12. Re:This article summary... on China Using Troop of Trained Monkeys To Guard Air Base · · Score: 2
    Sad isn't it? When people can't even stand behind something they say with a fake nick.

    To be fair, there are a lot of mod-bombers from both the religious nutters and the science fanbois.

    ah, you didn't hear about the union they started on the second day then? Extra smoke breaks and safety features like having two spotters for each monkey that climbs a tree really cuts into productivity.

    You only have to worry about that if they learn to whistle, or if the birds whistle sounds like the order to attack.

  15. Counter-intuitive? on Space Telescope Reveals Weird Star Cluster Conundrum · · Score: 2
    Sounds logical to me, after all, we aren't talking about solar system formation.

    Cue the electric universe people to come tell us their magnetic-dynamo repulsion theory.

    Apparently, that's what the study says as well.

    Good thing this has nothing to do with that right?

    btw, if you actually read it, it reads nothing like a bad sci-fi movie.

  18. Western medicine at it again. on Controlling Fear By Modifying DNA · · Score: 3, Informative
    Since nobody reads, or seems to understand, they are not manipulating any genes here.

    They found that learning to extinguish fear causes expression of a gene.

    In common western medicine fashion, the important thing here is not that behavioural methods are effective in changing gene expression, but we can now remove the stimulus for gene expression (a persons conscious control) and package it up into a pill to sell for profit!

  19. Re:Who is this guy? on Ben Starr Answers Your Questions About Sustainability and Kitchen Tech · · Score: 1
    The better question is who are you? You obviously know nothing about the restaurant business. Perhaps you don't know what the word 'dominant' means? Or can't understand that the flashy stuff makes up a small percentage?

    You then go off on tangential rants, making wrong assumptions about context, and then burning your poorly built strawmen. Congratulations, you'll be a superstar on the new slashdot.

    The problem with shuns is that they're asian and are made to be used by asians. It doesn't matter if they look like chef's knives they aren't designed to be used in the aggressive manner that french chefs use their knives. Cleavers is what we use for all that aggressive stuff.

    Put several people in an enclosed insulated space and see how hot they get.

    It's mostly cold there, which is why cheap geothermal can work.
