  1. Re:Why Waste a First Post? on Consciousness Goes Deeper Than You Think (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 2

    4th term abortions are already highly frowned upon.

    Thanks for highlighting each and every one of his posts. Without you he'd probably just fade into the background noise.

    Can you post the blurb about his ebooks again? I keep forgetting about them, and he could use the advertising.

  3. Re:No passengers, no stops, on a gentle test track on Electric Bus Sets Record With 1,101-Mile Trip On a Single Charge (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    How could wasting energy to stop and start the vehicle possibly improve performance over driving continuously?

  4. Re:Intrinsic value of diamonds on SLAC Experiment Proves It Rains Diamonds On Uranus and Neptune (cosmosmagazine.com) · · Score: 1

    For "proving" they "may be"?

    Sounds scientific.

  5. Re:Five bucks for everything Disney owns? on Disney Will Price Streaming Service At $5 Per Month, Analyst Says (fiercecable.com) · · Score: 1

    No, he owns them.

    He provided money to a store and received a product in return with no contracts being signed.

  6. Re:Stinker on CBS Delaying 'Star Trek: Discovery' To Maintain Quality (foxnews.com) · · Score: 2

    Remember when Janeway and Paris abandoned their lizard-babies on that planet without a second thought?

    I always felt that was something special.

  7. Re:Lost 2 out of three here as well - 1980 on US Nuclear Comeback Stalls As Two Reactors Are Abandoned (theaustralian.com.au) · · Score: 1

    That's not a radioactive exhaust, it's an intake port port newborns.

    Nuclear power requires a constant stream of them to be thrown in to continue functioning.

  8. "We're ignoring your proof" would be the answer they got if they tried that. ...Exactly like what happened here.

    Which toxins?

    I'm getting old. I can't tell the difference between 4K at 40 feet and 1K at 10 feet.

    Same with the sound. Cannons to the left of us, cannons to the right of us, seems sufficient.

    I'm not saying theaters are useless like some do these days, but an average theater is worse than a good home setup, and the bad theaters have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I went to a discount theater not too long ago and heard the bass from the movie next door throughout the entire thing.

    That being said, nice theaters can still be a nice experience, but very little of it is on the technical side. Comfortable seats, room to walk, going with friends, can have a good time.

  11. Re:He must be ugly on Tech Boss Attacks 'Whiners' in Angry Email (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    > Do you honestly think that white guys have it worse in life than everyone else?

    Do you honestly believe that white guys don't have their own difficulties and inconveniences in life?

    Should everybody just shut up about their own frustrations as long as there's a single group out there that has it worse?

    I find that 50 feet wide screens hurt my eyes when they're only 10 feet away, so something smaller is usually more appropriate for the living room. Luckily it takes up the same perfect of my vision.

    And I don't personally have that many speakers strung around my room but it's really not hard to do. If you were to find some sort of benefit to doing so, anyway.

  14. Re:it's stupid and only serves local colleges and on Chicago To Make Future Plans a Graduation Requirement (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    As long as they still have the option to sell me their organs I'm not seeing the problem.

  15. Why would you deny sentience to apes?

    I'd argue the rest, but... yeah, paragraphs.

  16. Hasn't the US decided the same way on variations of this case multiple times?

    I know the UK has, along with lots of smaller countries.

    Everybody keeps telling them they can't do it, but every single government does.

  17. Re: Cyber specialists on Britain's Newest Warship Runs Windows XP, Raising Cyber Attack Fears (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Since you posted twice, I get to as well.

    As a potential attack source, do a "message in a bottle" type thing. Toss a Raspberry Pi in a flotation device with a battery, have it perform automated attacks when it detects a wifi signal. Float 30 of them in the general direction of a naval group and wait a few days.

    While I'm sure it's still a ridiculous idea, people can get wifi to extend for miles with homemade antennas.

    "IF" wifi on a carrier were a vulnerable target, I'm sure somebody with a military budget could target their wifi from safety.

    And tying shoelaces is an important benchmark in regular I.

    I'd say listen to yourself, but that would be poor advice.

    Yeah, "neither" would probably be ideal.

    But as a fan of electricity and modern civilization, a few of them have to be in "someone's" backyard. May as well be nuclear.

    You live next to a coal plant for 20 years and I'll live next to a nuclear plant for 20 years.

    We'll see who's in better shape at the end.

    Creimer, I know nothing about you, but I always recognize when you post because some rabid AC is always posting after you. ...You participated in a discussion on politics, didn't you?

    As an outsider, I can assure you that there is no discernible difference between the left and the right. I don't even know which is which.
