  1. But what does it taste like on 43,000-Year-Old Woolly Mammoth Remains Offer Strong Chance of Cloning · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hot pan, salt, pepper, enquiring minds want to know.

  2. Re:Big Data Fail on Google Flu Trends Gets It Wrong Three Years Running · · Score: 2

    No, Li's copula, nor any other bogeyman formula(B-S, etc), was not to blame. Failure to understand and interpret models, assumptions and limits was.

  3. Re:No alien abduction theories?! on Engine Data Reveals That Flight 370 Flew On For Hours After It "Disappeared" · · Score: 1

    GIYF. Alien abduction theories running rife already.

  4. Re:What people seem to forget... on Stanford Researchers Spot Medical Conditions, Guns, and More In Phone Metadata · · Score: 1

    You really think for a second the NSA doesn't have full use of a phone records database? Cute.

  5. Re:i used to be indifferent to Neil Young... on Neil Young's "Righteous" Pono Music Startup Raises $1 Million With Kickstarter · · Score: 1

    You missed the CD that "functions by demagnetizing residual fields that build up in your components over time".

  6. Re:More about storage on Neil Young's "Righteous" Pono Music Startup Raises $1 Million With Kickstarter · · Score: 1

    Get a Sansa Clip. Cheap and it takes MicroSD cards.

  7. Re:Nice idea but.... on As the Web Turns 25, Sir Tim Berners-Lee Calls For A Web Magna Carta · · Score: 1

    Thank goodness. Most of it was bollocks and most of the good stuff ended up in there by accident.

  8. Re:Hardly anybody... on Men And Women Think Women Are Bad At Basic Math · · Score: 1

    Umm...your video is full of cranks, so I'll pass. But thanks.

  9. Re:Hardly anybody... on Men And Women Think Women Are Bad At Basic Math · · Score: 1

    Oh, this sounds interesting. Can you provide some examples and evidence, please, for these differences?

  10. Re:Lawrence Summers, save me! on Men And Women Think Women Are Bad At Basic Math · · Score: 2

    Yeah, no-one is really arguing that these kind of differences cannot exist. The argument is, bring data. If you think there's a difference, go out and prove it.

  11. Re:uhh on Men And Women Think Women Are Bad At Basic Math · · Score: 1

    But that's not the question. The question is, is that disparity natural or a result of social forces? More interesting would be a comparison of entry and exit points.

  12. Re:3rd-Rate, 3rd-Party Post on Embarrassing Stories Shed Light On US Officials' Technological Ignorance · · Score: 1

    What do you mean, "any more"?

  13. Re:Looser immigration on Google Chairman on WhatsApp: $19 Bn For 50 People? Good For Them! · · Score: 1, Troll

    It's well-established by now

    Except it isn't, except in the minds of racists like yourself (and no, claiming to not be a racist is not sufficient to actually not be a racist). There is plenty evidence to the contrary and the economic effects of migration are a second order effect to the tsunami of change unleashed by technological change. Good day to you.

  14. Re:Safe just from prying eyes? on Eric Schmidt, Jared Cohen Say Google Data Now Protected From Gov't Spying · · Score: 1
  15. Re:Safe just from prying eyes? on Eric Schmidt, Jared Cohen Say Google Data Now Protected From Gov't Spying · · Score: 1

    How do you know

    You don't and can't, and if that's a problem for you, you don't use Gogle services. Next!

  16. Re:Here, would you like a hand with that petard? on BP Finds Way To Bypass US Crude Export Ban · · Score: 1
    Yes, not fucking with companies in that way is one of the US's competitive advantages. We call the alternatives "Venezuela".

    It's a stupid law which is indefensible. This is not corporate taxes.

  17. Re:It shouldn't be illegal even if they were nude on Massachusetts Court Says 'Upskirt' Photos Are Legal · · Score: 1

    Oh fuck off. You'd be happy with me shoving a camera under the door next time you're having a crap? After all, you're responsible for your own modesty so you should have blocked the door up.

  18. Re:Apple and the law on Apple Refuses To Unlock Bequeathed iPad · · Score: 1

    The problem being the iPad is unusable without the account password, since iOS7. Don't think anyone's said they want to read her emails or use her apps.

  19. Re:Power of Attorney? on Apple Refuses To Unlock Bequeathed iPad · · Score: 1

    Where do you think US law came from? We've been dying in the UK for longer than you :p

  20. Re:Maybe mum bequeathed the device... on Apple Refuses To Unlock Bequeathed iPad · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, you're talking nonsense. TFA doesn't mention whether probate has been granted but in the UK only the smallest of estates do not require probate and usually banks require a grant anyway to administer accounts. Once probate has been granted there is no reason for anyone not to follow the executor's instructions, and a solicitor's letter stating a grant has been given should be sufficient. This is simply Apple being dicks to try and discourage people from doing this.

  21. Re:Mischaracterization of problem on Teaching Calculus To 5-Year-Olds · · Score: 1

    Surely bows and arrows are a better choice for slaying Welshmen.

  22. Re:Feynman tutored me in QM at Caltech on Physicists Test Symmetry Principle With an Antimatter Beam · · Score: 1

    Reflection is not rotation which is what you are doing when you "reverse" left and right. They are not reversed, they are still in the same places.

  23. Re:Colliding matter and antimatter on Physicists Test Symmetry Principle With an Antimatter Beam · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure it does matter...

  24. Re:God on Whole Foods: America's Temple of Pseudoscience · · Score: 1

    No, there is pretty widespread agreement that he existed and that certain events central to the Christian faith actually happened. Of course given the subject matter you will find people ready to dispute every aspect of it, but mainstream scholarship is pretty settled.

  25. Re:Consequences... on Oil From the Exxon Valdez Spill Still Lingers On Alaska Beaches · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    No, and there is literally no point in you flapping your jaw about this issue because you understand so little about it.
