  1. okay, what's the real link? on Turing Machine Implemented in Life · · Score: 1
    Okay, so I clicked on the above link, and that didn't work...http://www.rendell.uk.co/gol/tm.htm so then I figured that it was just the 'co' and the 'uk' that got transfixed, but when I go to http://www.rendell.co.uk/gol/tm.htm that doesn't work either.

    What's the real link?!

  2. "The Man" doesn't actually care. on Mandated Mediocrity · · Score: 1
    No one in power actually cares what sites get accidentally filtered. As long as it's not their site, and it definately does SOME filtering, that's all that matters.

    They can spout that filtering is a good idea, and decide that it helps more people than it hurts. If you want to read those other sites, you're going to have to do it some other way. The First Amendment doesn't cover this, because they're not blocking the speech...they don't stop the speaker, they allow him to have its outlet...but they're deciding who can read it.

    And that's not illegal. Government makes broad sweeping decisions based on age all the time, and it's perfectly legal, and 'moral'.

    And remember, "the man" and his spin doctors aren't saying "we support a filtering system that filters out the good with the bad"...no, instead, they're saying "we support filtering, to keep our children away from smut"...they aren't going to mention the means to an end, they don't actually care, as long as it gives them some brownie points.

  3. Re:sex cells (no, not the local whorehouse) on Bowhead Whales May Live 200 Years · · Score: 1

    Okay, sperm cells are not produced by other sperm cells, but they are created by cellular division. As a matter of fact, the cells that create sperm are among some of the busiest (in terms of cell division) cells in the human body! And we all know that men can be fertile for over a hundred years (look in Guiness if you don't believe me). And like a previous reply has mentioned, what about telomeres?p&g t;
