  1. Lol on Modern Medicine Might Have Saved Lincoln · · Score: 1, Troll

    The modern prognosis predicts that Lincoln might have conceivably recovered enough to return to the White House to complete his second term.

          Plus George W. Bush has proven that you can be President for two consecutive terms without actually having a brain, so any brain damage Lincoln could have suffered would have a negligible impact on his professional career.

          Heh, mod me troll bitches, but you know it's true!

    that will be the major failing of the movie.

          No, actually, the major failing of the movie will be (as usual) reliance on eye candy special effects and a complete and utter lack of a plot. I mean, how many times do you have to go watch a movie about the evil dudes trying to take over the world and the heroes stopping them?

    If they've got free will, does that mean they can go to heaven or hell?

          You're making a pretty big assumption there - assuming "heaven" and "hell" exist in the first place.

  12. Re:hold on on SHPEGS — DIY Solar/Geothermal Electricity · · Score: 1

    I mean, ants COULD destroy all the buildings in Manhattan if the buildings weren't repaired and the ants had long enough.

          Unless of course people keep building. Do you have any idea why the earth's core is hot? Do you just think the earth is cooling, still, after a few billion years, and will continue to do so for another few billion? Do you think there are no GRAVITATIONAL FORCES from the Sun that actually knead the inside of the earth like dough, and THIS is what heats the core? The core will cool when the earth stops rotating. Period. Now, how will tapping geothermal energy stop the rotation of the Earth or reduce the sun's gravity, pray tell?

    Using geothermal power will speed up the cooling of the earths core.

          Seriously do you have any kind of idea of the amount of energy required to cause any sort of noticeable impact on the earth's core? It's like a colony of ants saying they will destroy all the buildings in Manhattan.

    I guess there will be more than just one child being left behind with psychological traumata as a result of this.

    Big deal. I mean, childhood is FULL of trauma, you know? That's how you grow up. I agree that this probably wasn't called for, but overreacting for the "sake of the children" is also irrational. Poor them. Yes, poor them.

  20. Re:Why does this scare me? on Microsoft Says Free Software Violates 235 Patents · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well look at it this way, we will NEVER KNOW how many patents their "proprietary software" infringes on, since we will never be allowed to look at their source code. Win for Microsoft, (or anyone else who can be bothered to go through open source code looking for violations) unless software patents are seriously reviewed to disallow vague and abstract patents.

    Perhaps the strength of open source is that since it's free, the programmers surely can't be considered professionals, and if they can come up with that code, then it's obvious. As far as I know obvious solutions to a problem were not patentable.
