    Hawking has crossed the Shockley/Chomsky line. He is now talking out of his ass about things he knows nothing about.

    So you're saying he's incapable of learning anything that's not related to theoretical physics and cosmology? Don't forget the amount of time he can dedicate to search and think about a problem. After all, he became Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge by sitting on his ass all day long, literally.

  21. Not on the new iPhones, they won't.

  22. Instead of spying on them like three-letter agencies, how about blocking the domain names on your internal DNS? Surely the company's computers are locked down and they can't change them, right?
