  1. Who else has a valid claim to being in charge? on Why Everyone Should Hate Cellphone Carriers · · Score: 1
    WWAN could well end up supplanting copper sooner than anyone expects: do you want these companies in charge of it?

    Well, it is their property. Should we expropriate the assets of the capitalist class in the name of the the glorious People's Revolution, for the dictatorship of the proletariat?

    Or if that's not your thing, we could pull a Putin, and seize the property of the telecommunications industry for reasons of "State security."

    Conclusion: You don't like something that exists, make something else, better. Don't steal what has already been created by others.

  2. Re:MST3K? on Joel and Original Cast of MST3K Riding the Cinematic Titanic · · Score: 1

    To add to that, Joel left MST3K due to conflicts of what the show should be with Jim Fallon, so no surprise he's not on board with the reincarnation.

  3. Re:MST3K? on Joel and Original Cast of MST3K Riding the Cinematic Titanic · · Score: 4, Informative

    Joel likes Mike, supported him as being the new host. MJP worked with Mike on Rifftrax. I don't see sides, just different groups of the same former org going off and doing slightly different things. Yeah, I'd like some people swapped, want Bill Corbett as Crow, and Paul Chaplin as Pitch, but our prayers have been answered, MST3K is coming back, and Joel is doing his own great thing too. We now have Rifftrax, MST3K 21st Century, Cinematic Titanic, and Cartoon Dump. What more could you want on that front?

    If you've never seen the divine greatest show of all time, MST3K, much less heard of it, please kill yourself now. We can't have philosophical zombies wandering around who have no idea how to react to "Movie Sign!," or Mike blowing up Earth, again.

  5. Re:No question at all. on Joel and Original Cast of MST3K Riding the Cinematic Titanic · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the second 50% only came after Joel left, and then it died. Somehow, he controlled Bonnie Hammer.

    "Considered" NOT EQUAL TO "Is"

    As in "Many people consider the Earth to be flat" vs. "There is a sale at Penny's."

    Congress is most productive when it's out of session.

  8. Might as well make medical school criminal for MDs on Colbert's Run For President May Be Criminal · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How can it be criminal to run for a position for which every previous holder has to some degree or another, with cognizance, committed violence against the US Constitution?

  9. Re:Reality comes in different flavors on Microsoft's XO Laptop Strategy · · Score: 1

    I think you'd find that Vista Business is the closest equivalent to XP Pro, with there being no direct equivalent between the XP line and Vista Ultimate. Ultimate is not designed as a business OS, but as an enthusiast OS.

  10. Re:Reality comes in different flavors on Microsoft's XO Laptop Strategy · · Score: 1

    Why did you decide that Vista Premium is equivalent to MCE, and Vista Ultimate to XP Pro? Various editions are rather irrelevant, especially when the bulk of Vista sales are Home editions.

  12. Re:Reality comes in different flavors on Microsoft's XO Laptop Strategy · · Score: 1

    Compare to XP sales figures, both current and a year after initial release, and cross-reference with wide-spread customer insistence on XP.

  13. Windows *XP*? on Microsoft's XO Laptop Strategy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I guess Microsoft has begun to face reality, pushing XP over Vista.

    Weizmann Institute of Science; space shuttle is a deadly boondoggle; Virgin Galactic, Bigelow Aerospace, Union Aereospace Corporation, or some corporation not yet in existence.

  16. Re:Supply and Demand. on The Science Education Myth · · Score: 2, Funny
    "However, I think that there is a certain segment of the science industry that really ought to be government sponsored (fundamental and long-range research that may not be carried out in private industry due to no apparent profit to motivate)."

    Because central planning really really works. And because PARC didn't discover anything of use, and all those Intel and Microsoft research labs popping up like mushrooms after a heavy rain don't exist, and the numerous research universities throughout the nation, with millions and billions of dollars in endowments, are really just studying not even string theory, but silly string.

  17. The Downside on The Science Education Myth · · Score: 4, Funny
    "Perhaps just as surprising, the report finds that our education system actually produces more science and engineering graduates than the market demands."

    Foreshadowing a critical shortage of French Lit. majors.

    I skimmed the article, I didn't read every single sentence, so I now, er, retract my previous post.

  19. Overeactions 'R Us on '55 Science Paper Retracted to Thwart Creationists · · Score: -1, Troll

    Who retracts a paper because someone cites it out of context? Has this man been hiding from the real world for 55 years, being previously unaware that citations out of context are part and parcel of journalism and Media Matters?

    I'm aware of the nature of evacuation orders. It just wouldn't be funny if I made it ultra-realistic. Reality sucks.

    Look, if my laptop blew up, I'd be screwed, but I'm a student, and professionals should be able to afford off-site backup. If the laptop isn't a Dell but still goes up in flames, you haven't lost all of your data, just the most recent alterations. Californians have a deserved reputation for blinkered priorities and general flakiness.

  25. Subtle differences on Evolution and the 'Wisdom of Crowds' · · Score: 1
    "An essay by a developer of recommendation systems makes a case for why so many people have trouble grasping Darwin's theory of evolution."

    Does this mean understanding, or being in agreement with? If the latter, the overall argument becomes suspect for possible logic holes due to incorporating the author's personal bias into it, irregardless of the truth or falsity of Darwin's theory.
