  1. Re:"... about to ..." on Time Dimension To Become Space-like · · Score: 1

    Meaningless in terms of observed reality as well.

  2. Re:the intersection of mathematics and cosmology on Time Dimension To Become Space-like · · Score: 1, Troll

    Halle-friggin-leuyah! Sing it brother! I am so fed up with people treating this parlor conjecture as if it amounted to more than a tediously-written scifi blaster.

    Repeat after me -- math describes reality, it does not define reality. Just because you can make numbers dance, in no way does that mean said dancing jiggles anything other than your dendrites.

    Dear AC;

    Trolling with a display of misunderstanding as to what theories, laws and the scientific method are in science isn't the best way to convince people you understand the topic.

    Please come down from the high abstract phrases and tell us one theory that is taken as law.

    Um, put away those chemical enhancements when thinking about these kinds of things. That ten percent refers to the amount of brain active at any particular moment, not total capacity as is (obviously) misunderstood.

    The basis of eye development came from there and is not rejected at all. Don't use so much hyperbole.

    Some do, some don't. Ibid.

  5. Re:"Trade Sekkrits, Sooper Original Algorithms" on What's So Precious About Bad Software? · · Score: 1

    You'll note he didn't say you couldn't compete doing what SAP is doing, only that a business that can keep a better process to themselves has an edge. What's your point?

  6. Re:Terror is winning on Justice Department's Bio-terror Mistake · · Score: 1

    Nice spin, but bogus. Someone with certain DNA dies from otherwise harmless bacteria. Not the same as converting a bacterium into a virulent strain.

    Dude, you are full of shit. 61,472 due to influenze/pnemonia, 2004.

  8. Action on Drawing on Air With Haptics in 3D · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'd like to see the thing in action. The 3D bat looked nice, but how long did it take?

  9. Re:Strange... on Don't Take Notes In the Bookstore · · Score: 1

    "You know all those problems in the world? They're your fault."

    "Sleazy way to attack, though."

    Nice irony there.

  10. Re:Chilling... on Journalist Test Drives The Pain Ray Gun · · Score: 1

    Anyone who is siding with the criminal gang element needs to sit in front of a mirror for a day asking themselves why. Those guys aren't "perps" because the cops have taken a dislike, they're perps because they're friggin' criminals. I'm sure the line will move. Just like it has in Mexico where the drug cartels kill authorities because they're the only ones resisting them. The U.S. is quite different. The citizenry is armed, and just like the Texas sniper found out, they will side with the cops against the gangsters.

    Despite your humerous and gradeschool rhetoric, for limit time simply means "not forever".

  15. Re:Good Idea, Wrong Model on Fair Use Worth More Than Copyright To Economy · · Score: 1

    No, but it's what does it for the vast bulk of the time. He's not wrong because you can find a few meager exceptions. And, since the article is about fair use and public domain works may be used freely and don't fall under fair use, the article itself argues against you.

    (remember when the branches of government were truely independent and this included the judiciary?)

    No and neither do you as that has never been the case. Checks and balances precludes true independence.

    Iraqi's don't care for them. I think that's the best vote.

    And you drop into ad hominum. I'm as old as you and understand slippery slope. Besides which, I'm a hippie chum, just not a dumb one. More die in car crashes than are murdered on the streets too. You have no point there at all. In fact if anything is dumb it is connecting car crash deaths and terrorist murders. Then, of course, you leap into absurdum with in-garage surveillance. You are the one in need of perspective.

  21. Re:Nice... on Facebook Exposes Advertisers To Hate Speech · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "All of our law, and our society, is based on a moral code handed down by religious people."

    You know this how? Ever hear of Hammurabi? Moral codes existed long before the gods. They just weren't recorded until writing was invented. So, you basically have it backwards, Religions based their moral codes on common sense moral codes already extant and tries to usurp the high ground.

    "There is NO LOGICAL REASON that we should ALL follow the SAME moral code..."

    Only if you're a pedant. Golden Rule, we should all follow it. All else is icing on the cake. Others have provided the evolutionary logic behind the GR, I won't repeat. So, we have logically determined why there are basic moral codes. It's the Byzantine flourishes that are somewhat unexplainable.

    Referring up-post: Of course there is no a priori good and evil...

    I agree with you this is blatantly false. Murder, brutality of any nature... I can think of any number of evil things. Those who can't need to sit in front of a mirror for a very long time and ask the reflection just how they justify the acts.

  22. Re:Am I the only one ... on Separation of Church and Microsoft · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, chum. It's because they recognized the bullshit inherent in equating the "techniques" of Koresh, nazi's and Methodists.

  23. Re:Am I the only one ... on Separation of Church and Microsoft · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What a pile of horseshit. Very, very few parents see it as having the joy of control over another person. If a parent has a set of values, they attempt to bring their child up to respect those.

    To continue your bad analogy: If a child doesn't want to go to school, go wear clothes, to eat vegetables, etc.

    Allowing an undeveloped person -- both in mind and body -- to control their life is not parenting, it's the abdication thereof.

    Your 'knowledge' fix was explained away subsequently as baseless. Your aperture 'fix' is nonsense as both can do that. Good thing you posted AC.

    Basically TFA is loaded. The photos they provide pale in comparison to Hubble shots. At the moment, the article is tripe. Let's see if things improve.

    Just went and looked up the Cat's Eye Nebula as taken by the Hubble. Lot more detail. What gives? Someone able to explain that, please?
