  1. All 'science' now supports a particular ideology on Fossil Fuels Are Messing With Carbon Dating · · Score: 1

    Funny how all "science" now seems to support a very particular liberal/environmentalist ideological agenda. Maybe that has something to do with the new scientific method:

    1) Embrace a dogmatic ideological agenda.
    2) Form a hypothesis that supports this agenda.
    3) Carefully exclude or modify all data that contradicts this hypothesis.
    4) Hypothesis confirmed!
    5) Call anyone who challenges your conclusion an ignorant denier.

    SCIENCE!

    But dude, she totally wrote some code that's under another name that she can't disclose at present because of, you know...stuff.

    And I totally have a hot supermodel girlfriend in Canada. She's a developer too!

  3. Maybe it needed some "me" time on Comet Lander Falls Silent; Scientists Fear It Has Moved · · Score: 1

    Can't a lander get a day off 'round here??

  4. These people already CHOSE Chrysler on Remote Exploit On a Production Chrysler To Be Presented At BlackHat · · Score: 0

    If they're already driving a Chrysler by choice, I'm pretty sure that there's nothing more you could do to them that will make things any worse.

  6. Re:Go ahead on Affair Site Hackers Threaten Release of All User Data Unless It Closes · · Score: 2

    Even better yet: Make every effort to be loyal to your spouse. If you fail, repent, hope for forgiveness, and try harder next time. Flee from all forms of temptation to do evil.

    I suspect that's what goes through Ben Affleck's mind every time he starts a new movie. "This time it will be different," he tells himself.

    Or they have some sort of financial interest in harming the site. It's like my grandpa used to say "Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by fucking greed."

  9. Re:I'm surprised on Berkeley Breathed Revives Bloom County Comic Strip After 25 Years · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Bloom County was about as tendentious in their criticism as Doonesbury.

    That comparison is really unfair to Bloom County, because:

    a) Bloom County was actually funny, not just smug and pretentious.
    b) Berkley Breathed, unlike Gary Trudeau, didn't spend all day just smelling the fragrant scents of his own liberal farts.
    c) Berkley Breathed could draw well and write well.

  10. Re:Very few AI movies are about actual AI on Which Movies Get Artificial Intelligence Right? · · Score: 1

    I think the bias comes from the fact that 100% of the expected audience is human. Which will be fine until aliens inevitably see it, and we know what happens then.

  11. Was explained much better in Black Sky on Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo's Re-entry Tech: the Feather · · Score: 4, Informative

    For those interested, the documentary Black Sky is a must-see on explaining how this concept (and SpaceShipOne in general) works.

  12. That depends on How Will IT Workers' Roles Change in the Next Five Years? (Video) · · Score: 2

  13. Very few AI movies are about actual AI on Which Movies Get Artificial Intelligence Right? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Good directors just use AI as a convenient literary device for exploring the HUMAN condition.

    Real AI would be boring as fuck.

    Nonsense, I hear Greece has already adopted the cashless system in full.

  15. In unrelated news on Google To Provide Free Internet For Public Housing Residents To All Fiber Markets · · Score: 0, Offtopic

  16. It took me forever to find, but there it is, right next to the freedom of the press clause, in a whole section about this, right at the top of the Bill of Rights. Very easy to gloss right over that.

    In all fairness, the Bill of Rights is hard to read--since it's covered in Dick Cheney's and Barak Obama's shit after they wiped their asses with it for 14 years.

  17. Yeah, I'm dreaming too on Netflix Hoping For Free Network Access From ISPs · · Score: 0

    My dream is that I win the lottery.

  18. I've got some on Interviews: Ask Brianna Wu a Question · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Was it tough going from being a journalist and politico to becoming a hard-working developer at a legendary game and media studio like Giant Spacekat?

    What engine do you develop on? DO you have an on-site rendering farm that you work directly with, or do you outsource it?

    How do you find the time for public speaking with all the 60+ hour weeks that you must put into developing Giant Spacekat's massive games and interactive media library?

    Are you tired of ignorant people saying your "developer" title is just a joke and that your game company is just a sad front for your real job of gender hustling?

    a county that is actively trying to spread Democracy in every country it has ever invaded?

    What country would that be? Because you sure as shit aren't talking about the U.S. The U.S. has set up more puppet governments and banana republics (including one in Iran) than probably any country since the British Empire. And there was nothing remotely resembling "democracy" in any of them.

    when there are always options beyond those.

    No, there really aren't. Iran, the Assad government, and the Kurds are the only serious opposition to the ISIS caliphate right now. The only other option with any reasonable chance of success would be to reinstate the draft in the U.S. and send a massive U.S. invasion force into Iraq and Syria. And I'm pretty sure that ain't happening anytime soon.

  24. Re:Good on Iran Has Signed a Nuclear Accord · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you think an ISIS caliphate would be better than the West than a more positive relationship with Iran, all I can say is that you're mentally ill.

    Seek help.

  25. Re:Good on Iran Has Signed a Nuclear Accord · · Score: 1

    There are no easy choices in the Middle East. But would you rather side with a mildly hostile Iran, or the barbarians of the ISIS "caliphate"? Like it or not, there are no third options.
