It is less, "look at this cool gun" and more, "your a fucking communist/socialist/liberal idiot if you don't think your life should revolve around guns".
just because you like guns, or don't agree with the President, doesn't make you batshit crazy.
There is a difference between not liking someone and thinking they are the Antichrist. Also it is one thing to believe in the 2nd amendment, another to be posting numerous FB links every day about how great guns are and how anyone that doesn't agree is stupid.
Aren't they too busy being "bats**t crazy" to care about what Torvalds says?
I know one family of Mormons and I have to agree, for the most part, they are batshit crazy. End of world, gun loving, extreme right wing, Obama is the Antichrist etc... crazy.
I love science and (when I have time) have kept a skeptical eye on quantum entanglement. I haven't studied it a lot, but have problems with a number of its claims. You are saying it works and is faster than light, as long as no one observes the outcome... Really? It sounds less legitimate every time I hear about it.
But the reason I can't my wife (or family) to use Linux is more related to "Office products" When she deals with her college or girls scout office(she is a GS leader), they want "MS Office" only files. "Open office" won't emulate the latest version of MS Office. that pretty much is a deal breaker for her and it is just easier to use windows/MS office.
"We're simply saying to the ACT people we don't want what is a theory to be taught as a fact in such a way it may damage students' ability to do critical thinking."
That was my thoughts as well. I don't believe it is at a "primitive" stage, but a very advanced stage. This is what the earth will become, not what it was.
I know I clicked "underrated" but somehow it modded Overrated. With no way to remove it I am posting with nothing much to say to remove that mod. Have a nice day:)
Don't take this personally, but that is one of the biggest loads of crap I have ever heard. Basically taking 2 non-related things, poorly trying to connect them together, to bolster a theory.
We all take for granted that (essentially) energy can not be created or destroyed. I did not loose any energy from that statement (my balloon didn't deflate), so no one could have gained any. I am not a Physicist or anything, but a life long science geek with a fairly mathematical/scientific mind. That is some off the worst logic I have ever heard.
I just went and read the "turning information into energy" link from the main article. (without spending days researching). IMO, I think that they are incorrectly identifying where the "energy" is coming from, or at least grossly mislabeling it. That is similar, if not the same, as me claiming that because I close the blinds in my house when the sun is out and open them when it is cold (manipulating the temp in my house, up or down is irrelevant for this discussion) I have converted the knowledge of where the sun is into energy. That is not true, the energy was always there, I am just manipulating it.
Anyway, that's my 2c.
I have a problem with the "info is energy". If I tell you my toe hurts, exactly what energy can you get from that?

Killing the Start Button is like building a house without a front door. Sure, I use the garage door 99% of the time. According to Microsoft, this is reason to get rid of the front door.

I heard it fails as drama, science fiction, and it’s hopelessly derivative.

Seriously though, I have always wondered, if we had 8 total fingers/thumbs, would we have a base 8 number system?
LOL, that is lost on too many these day.

WOW, just wow....
Eh, I think the idea was that Mars plate tectonics was frozen at an early, "primitive" stage, not that it is currently experiencing said stage.
Ah, in that case... nevermind

I don't want to live in a world with immortal rich people.
But think of how much longer their wealth can trickle down...

Very well put. Same thing with Unity.
Still would be fun to play around with for a bit. I wonder if and how long before Windows loader works for 8?
For my Droid X?
Wow, you'r right. Why do we spend all this time, effort and money investigating things when the answer is so obvious...
