  1. Re:Some possible ways on Mathematician: Is Our Universe a Simulation? · · Score: 1

    I didn't recognize the line.

    I am deeply shamed.

  2. Re:Some possible ways on Mathematician: Is Our Universe a Simulation? · · Score: 1

    Well yeah, considering the fact that it's been cancelled... again.

  3. The disturbing thing... on UK Council To Send Obese People 'Motivational' Texts Telling Them To Use Stairs · · Score: 1

    The disturbing thing is that this council is tracking who is obese and who isn't.

  4. Re:It's incredibly frustrating... on US Democrats Introduce Bill To Restore Net Neutrality · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

  5. Re:All I Have To Say Is on You Might Rent Features & Options On Cars In the Future · · Score: 2

    Because all the dealers will get together and form a consortium that will pay off the insurance companies to institute that policy.

  6. Re:Allow it... on Americans To FCC Chair: No Cell Calls On Planes, Please · · Score: 1

    Talking on a phone is probably louder, since it takes a certain level of volume for the phone to even pick up your voice.

    That's the lavatory.

  8. Allow it... on Americans To FCC Chair: No Cell Calls On Planes, Please · · Score: 1

    Allow cell phone calls on airplanes, but only from inside a soundproof booth in the back of the plane.

  9. Global Warming on Polar Vortex Sends Life-Threatening Freeze To US · · Score: 0, Troll

    This will be used as an excuse to say that global warming isn't real by people who don't know what they are talking about.

  10. Quantum encryption on NSA Trying To Build Quantum Computer · · Score: 1

    Once such a thing is achieved, can't it be duplicated and used for quantum encryption for everyone?

  11. Re:"Everyone" on Hotfile Settles With MPAA, Drops Countersuit Against Warner Bros · · Score: 1

    Enough silver for that particular piece of content to be opened. There's always more content to demand more silver for.

  12. Re:Darwin on Thieves Who Stole Cobalt-60 Will Soon Be Dead · · Score: 1

    If they've already passed on their genes, then their deaths do not help the human race, so they are ineligible for a Darwin Award.

  13. "Everyone" on Hotfile Settles With MPAA, Drops Countersuit Against Warner Bros · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Of course, by "everyone" he means the only people that count... rich people.

  15. Re:What's wrong with social media? on Chinese Gov't To Tighten Internet Controls Even Further · · Score: 1

    Bread and circuses are basically antivenom.

    We're perfectly capable of hating both of them, thanks.

  18. Re:Well yeah. Why wouldn't it? on First Lab Demonstration That the Ability To Evolve Can Itself Evolve · · Score: 1

    Individual organisms don't evolve. Only species and populations evolve. You're talking about mutation.

    Any and all inherited traits can evolve, including the capacity for evolution, itself.

  20. Re:Not even then on US Gov't Circulates Watch List of Buyers of Polygraph Training Materials · · Score: 2

    I had to take a polygraph test and I kept failing questions seemingly randomly. I finally figured out why, too. If I was at the end of an exhale when the interviewer reached the end of a question, I had to stop for just an instant to think whether to answer the question or take a breath. That tiny hesitation was enough to set it off. When the interviewer allowed me to answer the questions by nodding or shaking my head, I passed with flying colors.

  21. Re:America's fall on China's "Singles Day" Is the World's Biggest Online Shopping Blitz · · Score: 1

    A philosophy that expects people in power to voluntarily give up that power. Yeah, that'll work out just great.

  22. Re:America's fall on China's "Singles Day" Is the World's Biggest Online Shopping Blitz · · Score: 1

    Don't worry. It's not really communism. It's just a plain old fashioned dictatorship pretending to be communism.

  23. Re:We live in interesting times on Global Biological Experiment Generates Exciting New Results · · Score: 1

    "May you live in interesting times" wasn't really an ancient Chinese curse. There's no record of it before the 1930s.

    It should have been, though.

  24. Are you talking about the one at the top of the article? That's a still from a video where it's showing the rendering in test mode with some of the textures and lighting effects turned off. Scroll down and look at the photo at the bottom of the article with the black background.

  25. Re:I don't see the downside so far on Researchers Use Computer-Generated 10-Year-Old Girl To Catch Online Predators · · Score: 1

    The point is that they thought it was a real child. The whole issue here is intent.
