Either bring your religion to 21st century and join the rest of us or shut the hell up.
One cannot force someone to change their religious views (or any view) through taunts and provocation. This exercise is immature, and the response will be likely be violently immature.
You're certainly not going to have these people suddenly roll over and say "oh hey, you know, this whole book burning thing has really opened my eyes!" Not even one.
The fact that the scientists who are working on it are quite aware of what they're proposing is comforting.
Obviously, given what we currently think about radioactive decay and neutrinos, skepticism is warranted and I'd be surprised if any scientist came out and said otherwise.
This article says, in effect, "Interesting idea. Doesn't make sense with what we know though. Lets study it more and get more data." Which is exactly what I'd want to see out of the science community. In other words, this is a non-article.
Java (the language) is free and open. Java (the trademark) is not. Provided google is not doing business advertising "Android - with Java(tm)!", they're doing nothing wrong. Oracle owns ONLY the trademark.

Actually, no, YOU don't understand. Ever built a linux distro?
I have. From scratch, using a combination of different tools. Working out an entire distro where no significant custom development is being done is a one-man job. The big distros do the heavy lifting. What exactly this "DLL Hell" which you refer to is, I don't really understand. The problem is simple, and it's been solved by a handful of distros in different methods. So, since "DLL Hell on linux isn't a problem they can solve", why don't you enlighten me to what this problem is?
You make it sound like linux is a terrible development environment - you obviously have very little experience with it. I don't know Valves' code base. But I do know linux development.
I'm not saying Valve should create another distro - I agree with you there. It's an option though, if they wanted full control.
That's solved fairly easily: supported distros. Even roll your own distro - the valve gaming distro. Every other piece of software on linux has supported distros, or at least dependency requirements that have to be met. That's why the package management tools exist.
Harris cut taxes massively during his common sense revolution, along with cutting programs like crazy. Having been in highschool during that period, I felt those effects directly. I am all for responsible government, but what you're describing is a fantastically slanted view of what Harris did.
Many of his reforms were needed, but the execution of those cuts were extremely damaging to many different parties - and I, at the age of 14 and 15, was one of those people.
they know that they're the big boys with power and money and will go against you whether you're right or wrong because nearly no one will fight.
Bolded the important part. This is one guy with a small ISP. Every other business, ISP, content provider, etc, bends over immediately. There is no more expectation of privacy, and the forth amendment is long dead.
This actually shows how out of touch they are. Nobody who had any understanding of technology of the last 15 years would ever ask for a document to be "returned".
So how does the presence or lack of presence of a medieval warming period impact our understanding of current climate?
This is the problem with the emails that were circulated: you don't have context. Neither do I. Before this, had you ever heard of the medieval warming period?
If you want to get wrapped into the details regarding what an entire discipline of science is espousing, and use those details to discredit the work those thousands of individuals are doing, please spend six years getting properly educated on the subject. Then publish a paper properly discrediting the science they are doing. Until then, your opinion is ignorant and probably damaging.
I feel the same way about many other things - and I'm sure you do too. Somehow though, this topic has become political - and everyone is allowed a political opinion.
Naw, this is just a case of NASA being a political punching bag. It will never get anything done ever again.
Not because it isn't capable - but because every four years someone new comes along that thinks they know how to run things. They gut everything that has been happening, and refocus the organization. Thus, there are a good dozen projects that got half done. Some of the early X33 work had a lot of potential, and I remember reading about how the rocket nozzle work could be qualified as a major breakthrough. But it got scrapped. NASA isn't suffering from a lack of vision. It's suffering from too many visions that change too often.
I'm sorry, unless you have published at least one paper at the Ph.D level on quantum theory, how about you shut up about what you think is ridiculous on this topic.

Wow, you obviously don't understand how the internet works. The US has no more ability to unplug India or China than Iran has the ability to unplug the US.
Thanks, you basically summed up my feelings on the matter.
The only reason this guy has gotten arrested is because he saw this insanity and wondered "how effective is it really" and proceeded to tell everyone he knew (and a whole bunch of people he didn't know) that he planned to test the security of the thing.
Speaking of car analogies, this afternoon a 57 year old man was arrested for having gasoline, an axe handle, sticks, a baseball bat, and possibly a chainsaw in his car.
So the message can be construed as such: if you go camping and return to Toronto, you may be used as an example to justify 1.2 billion dollars of taxpayer money spent on security.

Hell Valve - hire me. I'll do it for you.
Valve, if you're listening...
Please, please, please do steam and your games on linux. You've already made them POSIX and OpenGL, you're 85% of the way there.
I will buy every damn game you release on linux. I never want to run windows again, and if I can get portal and TF2 on linux, I won't.

They already do attach your name to every click. Use noscript sometime, and find how many sites DON'T get you to load something from google.
100TB for a million dollars is about right when you start looking at enterprise storage solutions, such as Netapp or EMC.
No, the PC gamer on the console would still win.
He would rage at the damn xbox controller so hard that he would beat the guy using his PC with it until he had a concussion.
The derp is strong with this one.
