    Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

    A joke compared to what? I'm not a Mac fan, but anything comparable in size to the mini costs just as much, or more.

    Really? You have a check from The president of the US to vote Republican?! Woah! Call the news already!

    Would you like to talk to my Mother?

    She only agreed to go DSL because of AT&T's 10$ a month deal. And she's furious that they keep on trying to bump her up to 20$ a month.

    DSL has finally gotten the computer to be useful to her. "Always on Internet"

    Ah yes. I converted my Mom's house in Illinois to all florescent. No reduction in electric bill though, the power company jacked up their prices to compensate.

    "Wages aren't even a fraction of what you see in New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles."

    The only way that would be possible is if the wages were equal to what you would see in NY, Chicago, or LA.

    Great. Now I have a bunch of labeled emails.

    Now what?

    This is what I want. I want to log into gmail, and only see my new messages. I want my old messages put away, IN FOLDERS. Storage for me to refer to later.

    How does sticking a tag on an email help me at all?

  12. Re:The oath itself is corrupt. on A Hippocratic Oath For Scientists · · Score: 1


    This oath itself is corrupt.
    And it is weightless.

    Hippocratic Oath is just as bad and is universally ignored by doctors. Most people haven't read the whole text of it. It's laughable.

    First off, it's only called Murder when it's illegal.

    Second, what in the world makes you think killing the leader of a country wouldn't lead to the slaughter of thousands or more?

    There are societies where targeting the leader of a group for death is the norm. Those societies are really fucked up! What made you look at those groups and go "Yeeeah. I wanna be just like them!"

  16. Re:Likely Reasons on Why Are the Best and Brightest Not Flooding DARPA? · · Score: 1

    Interesting. So you advocate the assassination of Obama if he became president? Or do you think the US leaders have magic shields around them?

    Job Stability is a big one too.

    It seems that a lot of tech jobs pay well, because you never know how long it will last.

  18. Re:Nukes and Iran... on Nuclear Warhead Blueprints On Smugglers' Computers · · Score: 1

    Because dodgy US allies haven't nuked anyone yet, the US can directly influence it's allies when they're having issues.

    Which is why everyone is concerned about Iran.

    Or more likely, in 9 years we'll still be using current methods (but more advanced) leaving plenty of CPU power to simulate other physics, and run the AI, and address other things.

    They're trying to turn a CPU into a GPU, and it's ridiculous. I already have a GPU.

    "The problem is, governments can't build anything cheaply. Something which should only cost a few billion to build will probably cost 100 billion, just like the big dig, due to corruption in the system."

    Yeah, if there was only a way to build rail systems using non-governmental organizations. You know, like all of Japan's rail systems are privately built and owned. Hm. HHHMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm.

    It's sad when people can't even conceive of solving a big problem without using the government. Or maybe Socialists and Communists are normally drawn to topics like this.
