  1. Re: TFA needs editor on Developing Games On and For Linux/SteamOS · · Score: 1

    So you don't understand how people obsessed with a subject can't make time for something totally unrelated?

  2. Re:cyanogenmod scam on Oppo's CyanogenMod Phone Gets Blessed To Run Google Apps · · Score: 1
    I guess stuff like that still exists today because people are so dumb that they think complaining about something like that on a totally unrelated site is going to have any effect.

    Stop being stupid, if you don't like it then complain to the website designer!!

  3. Re:Automatons vs performers. on Ask Slashdot: Can Digital Music Replace Most Instrumental Musicians? · · Score: 1
    Did you know: What makes a rhythm or fill interesting to you as a drummer, who is using his body in a certain way to produce that rhythm, is different than/what makes it interesting to a musician, using it as a stable base to ground his solos, or a dancer, reacting and complimenting with his body.

    We'd all love to see good quality drum tracks out there, however, until you allow a drummer to lay down an electronic track from his drumset you just aren't going to see that

    In other words how many digital drumtracks have you contributed to the cause?

    Are you arguing that the laws of physics have changed over the past centuries? Otherwise your arguments are hooey/

    Perhaps we've fiddled with the frequency of 'A', or the timbre has changed due to material differences, but the interaction of parts that creates harmonics hasn't and THAT is what all the fuzz is about.

  5. Re:Automatons vs performers. on Ask Slashdot: Can Digital Music Replace Most Instrumental Musicians? · · Score: 1

    A synthesizer can never replace the actual vibrations and harmonics produced by actual instruments, i.e. physical oscillating waves. For those of us acutely sensitive to disparate frequencies or who listen to music "with our body" electronics can never replace acoustics.

  6. Re:Rodrigo y Gabriela on Ask Slashdot: Can Digital Music Replace Most Instrumental Musicians? · · Score: 1

    Be careful. The playing with gravity/dance from whence beats are derived could just as justifiably be accorded the crown of progenitor of music.

  7. Re:Music and muzack... on Ask Slashdot: Can Digital Music Replace Most Instrumental Musicians? · · Score: 1

    Try listening to the romantic period. The two periods before are a little overly math and boring repetitive pattern heavy.

  8. Re:Important but over-hyped on Killing Cancer By Retraining the Patient's Immune System · · Score: 1
    Your sarcasm hides your ignorance and stupidity.

    One does not gain understanding by reading the words of those who do not understand.

    Even a western prep cook is less ignorant than you about the 'harmfulness' of those specific foods.

    You don't need to wait for research on the benefits of eating well. Eating well is never a bad thing!

    If you want results now, then you should try looking into cultural food systems that have evolved over thousands of years such as ayurveda. When what few studies have been done by western medicine confirms things that food philosophies have been saying for millenia, it's sometimes better to take a more serious look at them.

  10. Re:Science isn't critical thinking... on Getting Evolution In Science Textbooks For Texas Schools · · Score: 1

    There is a difference between activating systems already present and developing a whole new system.

    um, your 'evidence' is 'somebody said so!'?

    You're so funny. Why do you automatically expect that if somebody says something they're directly attacking you and your argument?

    Social much?

    * I don't think I'm smarter than the average person, just smart enough to observe our species' behaviour.. and despair.

    Nobody else thinks you are either.

    Less intelligent people only see problems while more intelligent people see the solutions. Your despair is due to your inability to find your contribution to the solution. Perhaps you should focus on that.

    No. You're either autistic since you remembered a useless fact like there's ~ 100 trillion, or you're a social loser for looking something like that up just to make a very bad joke.

    Your guess would be wrong.

    Stuff can't be fixed when it's constantly being attacked.

  16. Re:How can you tell an autistic mouse? on Gut Microbes Linked to Autism-Like Symptoms in Mice · · Score: 1
    Wow, you are so dumb.

    Please stop reading sensationalist journalism. Then learn the difference between psychology and psychiatry and who invented the dsm. Then learn about how 'medical' science in the US is driven by corporate greed.

    Then learn how dumb you are because it's psychology that actually does more real 'science' than medical science. You might like to learn that modelling is used in ALL areas of science as well.

    Didn't you hear? She cured her son's autism using a gluten-free diet and some other nonsense that you can probably read about in her book. Yes, Playboy Model cures a developmental disorder that scientists don't even have a complete understanding for yet. She must be a genius!

    [end sarcasm]

    And what's wrong with that? Don't forget that science is bogged down by belief. I also 'cured' my autism through diet and other 'nonsense'.

    (Disclaimer: Both my son and I have Asperger's Syndrome/High Functioning Autism and claims that someone is going to "cure" me or my son are just insulting. A treatment to alleviate symptoms for the folks on the "low functioning" end of the spectrum maybe, but curing someone implies that there's something wrong with that person and I don't see Autism as "wrong", just as a different way of thinking - one that happens to come in very handy at times.)

    Oh grow up already. A cure doesn't mean you lose who you are, it means you discover more of who you are meant to be. Of course, most people, like you, are too scared shitless of being anything besides what they know and are comfortable with. Don't let your fears, biases, and beliefs affect your son, that would be more detrimental to him than any 'cure' could ever be. A point of view is only useful if one recognises it as just one tool in a full toolbox. If you can't change viewpoints at will then it is not a positive in your life, it means your reality is constrained. This applies to both NT's and autists.

  20. Re:The irony is that. . . on Getting Evolution In Science Textbooks For Texas Schools · · Score: 1

    The great thing about science is that neither you, nor I, have to believe it for it to be true. Results of actual science can simply be reproduced.

    You sure about that? Because science disagrees with you. Almost anything lately is very hard to reproduce and most of it just isn't reproducible. On top of that, there's countless beliefs in science heading back to the beginning that have never been tested but just accepted as fact, this has become worse as fields become more specific and disproven theories aren't disseminated to other fields.

    You might not like it, but for the average person, science is a belief system.

    Perhaps if you weren't so full of yourself, proclaiming yourself god of knowledge and other peoples viewpoints as those of blind ignoramuses you would get farther.

    Your 'critical thinking' is distorted by the 'mythology' you are drenched in. Next time, act like a real scientist and not a pompous fangirl.

    1 + 1 doesn't exist in reality. The concept that things are the same and can be numbered is something invented by the brain. Is science really a 'godsend' or is it just an external manifestation of how the brain organizes reality?

  24. Re:Creationism = religion, not science. At all. on Getting Evolution In Science Textbooks For Texas Schools · · Score: 1

    You do realize all of those have been disproven right? Logic may be internally consistent but comes up with a lot of nonsense when translated to reality. Top-down processing eliminates the objectivity of the senses and we've already 'observed' that certain constants are not so constant depending on location.

  25. You're an apathetic shit with no spine who only cares about themselves. Please do not spread your bullshit to other people, we don't need more of you shits fucking up the world.
