Evolution is still applicable, but modern technology, medicine, government and religion sure are interfering with natural selection.

There are many things you can point to as proof that the human is not smart. But my personal favorite would have to be that we needed to invent the helmet. What was happening, apparently, was that we were involved in a lot of activities that were cracking our heads. We chose not to avoid doing those activities but, instead, to come up with some sort of device to help us enjoy our head-cracking lifestyles. And even that didn’t work because not enough people were wearing them so we had to come up with the helmet law. Which is even stupider, the idea behind the helmet law being to preserve a brain whose judgment is so poor, it does not even try to avoid the cracking of the head it’s in.
I know it's HTML5 because I don't have Flash nor Java on my system (Safari on OS X), nothing auto-plays and I see a placeholder image for the video. Clicking on that image plays the video (with a nice ad that you can't skip for the first few seconds).
Many are increasingly of the opinion that we've all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some say that even the trees have been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.

How appropriate. You fight like a cow.
That may be true, but don't forget that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

It is an HTML5 video and it is not auto-playing.

I just ordered parts that fall into the Arduino and the 3D printers categories, but those are going to be used in a tiny desktop CNC mill.
Maybe it's because you had a . instead of a ; at the end of your code.

I'm going to give myself future credit by predicting this: in five years, the year will be 2020 and 2010 will be ten years ago.
I think you just made an argument against fingerprint-enabled locks too.
But if you had a 3D printer, you could print one.
We will soon have machines that will provide us with plastic cups filled with a liquid that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
I'm guessing you've only seen things printed on FDM 3D printers? Get yourself a sample made on a SLS printer. Those are pretty accurate.
Give it a few years and the marketing companies, spammers, black hat hackers and governments will finish the job.
There's already a lot of those: https://www.google.com/search?...

I'm still using a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo. Your 4-year-old CPU may be "ancient" to you but it's still way more powerful than what the average user has.

It doesn't help them, but it sure helps me!
Microsoft is unable to antialias font correctly.
So they solved this problem by hammering the font into the display grid.
Those are characters, not pixels.
He had no money on the island and that money was cursed anyway.
What is this a reference to? (and yes, it is on-topic if you know the answer)

Isn't he the fat guy from Lost? Maybe he lost weight and won an award.
But fat or not, he was the the only character with a positive attitude. All the others were messed up in some way.
Not on Windows and not using Chrome either. I said I was Flash-free.
Unless it's used with ROT13.
