    Yes, it's not even remotely possible that they didn't have access to the correct facts, is it?

  2. Re:And the survival-selection hypothesis would be. on Synchronized Virtual Reality Heartbeat Triggers Out-of-Body Experiences · · Score: 1

    Stop trying to compare this with specific programs being generated randomly. The analogy is completely non-applicable.

    We aren't talking about anything nearly that complex, and you know it.

    In order to cause an OOBE, all it has to do is cause part of your brain to stop working properly, at least temporarily.

  4. Two important questions on Elon Musk's New Hologram Project Invites 'Iron Man' Comparisons · · Score: 1

    1. Will it require anything to project the image onto? Even if it's just water vapor streaming through the air.

    2. Will it be visible from any angle, or will it center itself on one person's point of view?

  5. Re:And the survival-selection hypothesis would be. on Synchronized Virtual Reality Heartbeat Triggers Out-of-Body Experiences · · Score: 3, Informative

    Not every trait or implication of traits that we have is based on some evolutionary advantage. Some of it is simply accidental.

    > Not wrong; lying to further an agenda.

    How do you know what their motives were? How can you be so sure that someone that you've never met wasn't simply mistaken?

  7. Re:Dear Comcast, fuck off on Comcast Threatens TorrentFreak For Posting Public Court Document · · Score: 1

    And the judge in that court had nothing to do with this copyright claim.

  8. Re:CAN you write code for it? on Write Windows Phone Apps, No Code Required · · Score: 3, Informative

    I had to make some of those Access applications. *shudder*

    Nothing like writing code where you have to fight the very environment you're writing it in.

  9. CAN you write code for it? on Write Windows Phone Apps, No Code Required · · Score: 1

    Do you have the option of writing code, or does the system disallow it entirely?

  10. Re:Reference to... on "451" Error Will Tell Users When Governments Are Blocking Websites · · Score: 1

    There's also the fact that I saw the link on reddit this morning.

  11. Reference to... on "451" Error Will Tell Users When Governments Are Blocking Websites · · Score: 5, Informative

    For those who missed the reference and didn't click the links, this is a reference to Fahrenheit 451.

  12. Re:Ministry of truth on Bradley Manning Says He's Sorry · · Score: 1

    No.

    It's the Ministry of Love that's in charge of torture. The Ministry of Truth is in charge of revising the history books to match current political convenience.

    Explain exactly why it was wrong (as opposed to illegal).

    I'm not saying that it's going to cause tidal waves. I was just suggesting the possibility that it might upset some ecological niches.

    Of course, we're doing a pretty good job of that by other means.

    And how many of them are we going to be pulling into orbit?

  17. Re:Great! on Easily-Captured Asteroids Identified · · Score: 1

    Because a 2~60m diameter stone in space can significantly alter tides.

    No, but once you start getting hundreds or thousands of them in near orbit, it might start having an effect that is noticeable in some places.

  18. Re:Happy President on Obama's Privacy Reform Panel Will Report To ... the NSA · · Score: 2

    If Mitt Romney had won, maybe the Democrats would be fighting against this garbage.

    And believe me, you have no idea how disgusted I feel suggesting that a Romney presidency might have had a better outcome.

    What I don't understand is why Twinkies are so popular when Suzy Qs are so much more awesome and they never even get a mention.
