  1. Re:Tip of the iceberg on Pope Francis Declares Evolution and Big Bang Theory Are Right · · Score: 1

    If you wanted to avoid hilarious laughter, you failed with Noah's Flying Saucer.

  2. Re:All the movies had women in business on NPR: '80s Ads Are Responsible For the Lack of Women Coders · · Score: 1

    Business programmers who don't have a choice and must use what the IT department gives them.

  3. Re:Politics on Ebola Does Not Require an "Ebola Czar," Nor Calling Up the National Guard · · Score: 1

    I think they picked the Czar they did for his marketing skills, not his medical skills.

    You need a larger C: drive.

    Windows doesn't have enough space for your temp directory for the code base you are working on.

  5. Re:All the movies had women in business on NPR: '80s Ads Are Responsible For the Lack of Women Coders · · Score: 1

    Waterfall vs Agile. Waterfall, you get the spec, go and code. Agile you get lucky to code a couple of hours a day, the rest is ALL spec gathering, and then you stay up all night for the sprint right before you submit the code for user acceptance testing.

  6. Re:Dongle Bells! on Google Adds USB Security Keys To 2-Factor Authentication Options · · Score: 1

    I remember, back in the early 80s, some friends and I pooled our allowance, bought an Atari joystick, then tried to make an adapter for the 9-pin Apple IIe joystick connector- not realizing the reason the Apple joysticks were so damn expensive was because they were analog.

  7. Re:Dongle Bells! on Google Adds USB Security Keys To 2-Factor Authentication Options · · Score: 1

    Not for my last 6 computers have I seen a 9 pin serial port.

  8. Re:waste of effort on The Largest Ship In the World Is Being Built In Korea · · Score: 1

    The world's biggest Lego Land. Do they sing "Everything is Awesome!" while they work?

  9. An error in philosophy on The Correct Response To Photo Hack Victim-Blamers · · Score: 1

    The error here is assuming that a woman should be with a boyfriend who looks at porn to begin with. Admittedly, that might make for an extremely small pool of datable men, but on the plus side, it weeds out all the guys likely to become abusive because they've fallen into watching BDSM videos.

  10. Re:Fox News? on Scientists Seen As Competent But Not Trusted By Americans · · Score: 1

    Warmer? I'd be impressed if they at least understand the scientific method and qualifiy their statements with confidence levels.

  11. Re:Cloaking on Researchers Develop Purely Optical Cloaking · · Score: 4, Funny

    Better yet:
    1. Invent Cloak
    2. Write Story giving directions
    3. get slashdotted
    4. website becomes invisible.

  12. Re:huh? on 2015 Corvette Valet Mode Recorder Illegal In Some States · · Score: 1

    Yes, but may need to be solved with a disclaimer sticker on the visor or dash.

  13. Re:Defense attorneys on Before Using StingRays, Police Must Sign NDA With FBI · · Score: 1

    Or a more vague description and question. Like "Officer, how exactly did you know the location and contents of my client's cell phone data?" Somehow I don't think many courts will accept "Officer Y told me" (hearsay evidence, inadmissible) or "I can't answer because I signed an NDA with the FBI" (secret police don't often go over very well with American jury).

  14. Re:What if they break the NDA? on Before Using StingRays, Police Must Sign NDA With FBI · · Score: 1

    Exactly. All this NDA needs is an admissibility test in court "Will the officer tell me how he knew my client was at X?" "I can't, I signed an NDA with the FBI" probably will not fly.

  15. Re:A little B and E maybe? on Before Using StingRays, Police Must Sign NDA With FBI · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't somebody build a couple of encrypted paired bluetooth headsets and just provide end-to-end encryption across the distrusted network?

  16. Re:In lost the will to live ... on How Our Botched Understanding of "Science" Ruins Everything · · Score: 1

    Sunday Assembly tithes to their "church", well, as much as Catholics do (where tithe is barely 1% of income and barely enough to keep the church running and the remaining 9% is given to various charities outside of the Church).

  17. Re:In lost the will to live ... on How Our Botched Understanding of "Science" Ruins Everything · · Score: 1

    I agree the fundamentals are, but then again, fundamentals are chosen by cherry picking.

  18. Re:In lost the will to live ... on How Our Botched Understanding of "Science" Ruins Everything · · Score: 1

    Just pointing out that I didn't create the labels "God is Good" and "Freedom From Religion Foundation".

    Where your link, for instance, just proves the existence of God for a theist. Nice planet, God!

  19. Re:In lost the will to live ... on How Our Botched Understanding of "Science" Ruins Everything · · Score: 1

    "No arheist is so stupid" was the claim. The link refutes the absolutist "no atheist", but perhaps I misread the misspelling, and you meant something else?

    Still, I should have read further back in the conversation and posted this instead:

    Certainly NOT modern....Predated Christ by 500 years.

    And somehow, I don't think they'd put up with http://sundayassembly.com/assemblies/ very long

    GOOD- glad somebody got that.

  22. Re:In lost the will to live ... on How Our Botched Understanding of "Science" Ruins Everything · · Score: 1

    That's why I inserted the word "modern". Should have been "postmodern", I suppose, but one can quibble the point.

    Is that why the bloody angel, an idol created by cleaving one's victim from neck to pelvis and spreading the ribs wide as a warning was common in pre-Christian northern Europe?

    I think your scholars are deluded.
