  1. Tufts has the only veterinary program in New England.

    Your point? She's Canadian. Shouldn't have been a problem attending there.

  2. Makes sense that people playing games relying on twitch reflexes would see an improvement. I doubt it helps much in games where coordinated team effort and tactics are required.

    I got high end cards last year and don't notice much difference because my favorite game is tactical in nature. MUCH prettier picture though, which was what I was after.

    a troubling sign of how AI can inadvertently reproduce prejudices from the wider world

  4. Hurray! You've just validated the friggin' article. Repairing the neurons is that 'task' you're searching for. And that is far more likely to the source of the pattern than energy efficiency. Your cart is ahead of your horse.

  5. Exactly why does the most primitive jellyfish sporting a nervous system need to stop accumulating food? They do not flee (they may react when touched), they do not (for the most part) actively seek. Explain why they need to shut down for 'rest'.

    So, since you're not only commenting on a useless except for entertainment site and additionally commenting about online gaming - I'm to assume you're a degenerate?

    You still can, but you're going to be playing a game along the sophistication of "ye good old days" as well. There's a reason those games died out and it wasn't some gaming company 'hiding' their software.

  8. Re:Why stop there? on YouTube Will Disable Comments on Nearly All Videos With Kids (variety.com) · · Score: 2

    How-to videos are a relatively small subset of the total videos on the platform

    Which you would gladly suppress the conversation on/for because *you* think comments are useless.

    Just because *you* chose to view videos that have no commentary worth anything doesn't at all mean they all don't. Perhaps you need to dismount that high horse.

    And this:

    The commodification is in principle inappropriate because it motivates unscrupulous people.

    is particularly ironic. Paleontologists are themselves pretty unscrupulous people.

  11. It's no more than a grab by paleontologists wanting to keep the plebs out of 'their' playground. Just read up on the T rex Sue to learn the motives and actions of museums trying to take things from people who find and extract them from their own property.

  12. If we could only figure out what the Dark Knight Satellite is. /sarc

  13. Hush. There's an agenda at foot.

    Would that the Opportunist had taken the opportunity to check out Wikipedia beforehand. Forty-three of them. I especially like Bernie Rosenthal.

    All fundamentalism is bad. This includes atheists.

    But we are not obliged to comply.

    Neither was DC, so what's your point? Oh, sorry. Wrote that before reading your last paragraph. Painting Christians as terrorists was your point.

  18. Do superpowers make them "more" than Jesus is (given He can't fly, no super strength, no laser vision, etc).

    So, raising the dead, resurrection, transmutation of materials, walking on water and hands on healing (to name a few) don't cut it?

  19. How about one where Mohammed is sent on "a most holy mission by God" to learn "what it takes to be the true messiah of mankind" from a superhero called Sun-Man?

    They picked what they thought would be a low-hanging fruit.

    No. They've always pulled this crap. Even back in the day (I'm old) when programmers were neeeeeded they pulled this crap. It's nothing new at all and no indicator of the job market.

    No, because I don't know that you actually wrote the examples of you work.

    That's when you talk to them. Pretty easy to determine if they wrote the code or not.
