  1. Re:Bias on Google's Answer to Filling Jobs Is an Algorithm · · Score: 1

    Google would be miles ahead of everyone else if it looked only at IQ. Alas, this has been deemed racist.

  2. Re:Where the hell is Mein Kampf? on Banned Books published by Google · · Score: 1

    And where are books supporting the revisionist position on Holocaust extermination claims?

    In 1984, after the California Library Association (CLA) cancelled contracts it had signed with Holocaust revisionist David McCalden to present an exhibit and separate program on his views at the CLA's 86th Annual Conference in Los Angeles, McCalden sued, claiming the city of Los Angeles, the Wiesenthal Center, the California Library Association, the American Jewish Committee, and others illegally conspired to deprive him of his First Amendment free speech rights through "extortionate threats." The suit eventually wound up in the Supreme Court, which decided to let stand a lower-court ruling in McCalden's favor.

    It seems there are banned books, and then there are BANNED books.

    So the guy says tubes when he really means pipes. Given that his generation didn't even have an internet, at least he got somewhere in the ballpark.
    Well said. Thank you.

    You may have lost sight of the fact that McCarthy was correct. He may have been politically incorrect, but there were Communists in the U.S. government and entertainment industry.

    Darwin is Unix, too, isn't it?

    My calculations must be off. It looks to me as though they could have bought $24.5 million worth of dual-processor Mac G4s with full RAM and maxxed-out SCSI dual hard drives, they'd have a lot more CPUs and everything else -- and they could still run Unix in the form of Darwin.
