  1. Re:Uhg, not Cass Sunstein on How Human Psychology Holds Back Climate Change Action · · Score: -1, Troll

    You would think that the fact that the North Pole completely melted in Septermber 2009 would have awakened people to the effects of global warming, but everyone ignored that. And the oceans rising 30 feet should have clued them in, but they ignored that too. The Greenland Ice Cqps are also gone. Now, the hurricane scale is being increased to 6, and nobody cares.

    When will people take these dire predictions seriously? Global Warming is a serious business. Al Gore needs your Carbon Credit money now!

    Wow! I got modded up on this post, and my karma just got worse!
    They must still be pissed off about an old Obama citation.

  4. Re:Admiral Grace Hopper on Could a Grace Hopper Get Hired In Today's Silicon Valley? · · Score: 1

    I think her credentials are fine, and all that, and I don't think her gender would really hold her back to much, but the fact that she would be over 100 years old, and dead, might be a problem for many employers.

    Employer: So, you worked on developing Cobal and Fortran
    Grace: BRAINS!
    Employer: What have you been working on lately?
    Gace: BRAINS!
    Employer: That's more of a medical area. We're more into Web services here.
    Grace: BRAINS!

    I just don't think the interview would go well.

  5. The Modern Way on Galileo: Right On the Solar System, Wrong On Ice · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He was ignorant of modern scientific efforts. Nowadays, we take a vote among political activists, come up with a consensus, and ridicule anyone who believes in the minority. We don't need any of that mathematical proof or experimental evidence crap. It saves a lot of time. As soon as you have a majority, you can start belittling everyone else.

    We are no longer hobbled by those ancient, useless beliefs, like "the scientific method". Ours is the enlightened age!

  6. Re:Safety on Concern Mounts Over Self-Driving Cars Taking Away Freedom · · Score: 1

    Te government will be able to know where you are going, before you do.
    Could the government take control of someones self-driving car, so that when he gets in it transports him to their office instead of his requested destination? that would be an interesting way of capturing criminals. Have their car turn on tgem. Who would get any reward money, the car or or the car company?

    What happens if some terrorist gains control of the lead car, and sends it over a cliff. If your friend jumps off a cliff, would you?

    I tried that once, but there was this freakish big thing floating above me. It was like a large light bulb. Looked like it was about to fall on me, so I ran back inside and hid under my bed for a week. I'm sure it's still out there, so I'm going to stay in her where I'm safee. You can't be too careful about those kind of things.

  10. Does this mean that Godzilla will immigrate to Germany, because they have more power lines to walk through? With 5.1twh of electric power, how can he resist the temptation? How can Japan possibly compete, with their Nuclear plants mostly shut down?

  13. Already debunked on Why Weather Control Conspiracy Theories Are Scientifically Ludicrous · · Score: 2

    this has already been thoroughly debunked. It is well known that man cannot affect the weather. Just look up "Global Warming" or "Climate Change", and you will see that they specifically state than "man has no influence on the weather". Anyone who states otherwise is decried as a "denier", and thoroughly mocked.
    Why would the United States spend Billions on this research, with significant tax increases, if it was true?

    i've been worried that we might run out of mice, but with this new technology, we can now save those mice who need heart transplants. We won't have to wait for a donar mouse to be killed in an accident any more! It's also hard to convince them to sign a donor cars, as very few of them know how to write.

    the Obama government only violates the Constitutional Rights of its own citizens, it would never consider violating the rights of foreigners. That would be, like, wrong, and they'd never break foreign law.

    They'll make changes. Next time, they'll hide it better.
    Don't expect them to end the programs. they need something to tell them who to send the IRS after. If they can't find their opponents by scanning their emails, how do you expect them to target their enemies?
