    You're a friggin' idiot. I'm atheist and you can check my posting history here to see that I hold exactly those views. Read it, interesting, didn't blow my mind. Don't project fragility.

    Time didn't exist until the Big Bang. Hawking's equations suggest...

    These 'suggestions' allow you certainty? You understand he could be wrong, correct? Kinda like the physicists suggesting dark energy could be wrong.

  3. Another reason. on ESPN Has Seen the Future of TV and They're Not Really Into It (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Another reason ESPN has seen a hemorrhage of viewers recently is their dive into politics and the decidedly one-sidedness of it.

  4. Re:Mythbusters on House Approves Bill To Force Public Release of EPA Science (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    If it is regulation that simply enforces what is already occurring, the only reason to repeal it is to allow things to change from open reporting to less than.

  5. Re:Translation on More Than Ever, Employees Want a Say in How Their Companies Are Run (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Agree with your crock of shit statement. I *despise* wearing a tie. However, all that is psychological, not physical.

    However often people of other races have a hard time acquiring the money to make it over the barrier, it is as impossible for them as for me to become a black lesbian woman.

    Bullshit. You can just declare yourself as identifying as a black lesbian. In truth, minorities have an easier time acquiring funding than white candidates do.

    That's a prerequisite not a barrier. You're conflating the meaning in use.

    either don't use Windows or become enough of a power user to stop the OS from doing it.

    Written like a true elitist. Only an ass would require everyone using a common household OS to become a "power user".

    So obviously, no, I won't be updating. Don't need that level of over the shoulder regardless of the presented bennies.

    You have some kind of argument against someone requesting a delay? Happens all the time for many, many reasons. It's also not that big a hardship as turkey season is typically about a month or so. Hell, people request delays in trials for vacations. This is not abuse unless wives are refused delays on request.

  11. Please. Anyone who says they've never been a dick on purpose at some time for some reason is lying.

  12. It's far apart from "SJW" when someone in a position of power is censoring people's lives outside of the workplace.

    Pardon but bullshit, censoring other people's private lives is exactly what SJW is all about.

  13. Contradiction for correctness on Stylebooks Finally Embrace the Single 'They' (cjr.org) · · Score: 1

    To recap: In English, there is no gender-neutral pronoun for a single person.

    We could use "one," but that is a very impersonal pronoun.

    So, we *do* have a neutral pronoun, they (plural) just don't like it.

    "One" is more impersonal than "they"?

  14. Re:Hockey stick guy is totally debunked on Climate Change Is Altering Global Air Currents (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    The hockey stick graph? Please point to the Medieval Warm Period when it was 2C or so warmer than now.

  15. Re:Patrick Moore? Seriously? on Climate Change Is Altering Global Air Currents (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Not interesting or surprising at all. Moore stepped off the hysterical enviro platform. For GP, message trumps rationality.

  16. Re:What precentage caused by man? on Climate Change Is Altering Global Air Currents (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    It had to do with the fact that some tree ring series started showing declines in temperatures that weren't matched in observations by actual thermometers...

    Which bolsters the belief that tree ring interpretation (to degrees, mind you) is accurate how?

  17. Re:Climate change on Climate Change Is Altering Global Air Currents (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    And a few million years ago it was WAY warmer than it is today.

    Apparently you and I view 2-3C differently.

    And just as apparently, you're discounting the fact that our ancestors *did* survive on this marble and did so well enough to become us.

    You've heavily discounted the value of being a crusader, savior, the first and, more importantly, *being right!* (assuming you believe your own screed).

    Heh. My stories all start out as nothing *but* a huge collection of jots and notes that are then arranged, rearranged and done again until the only thing left to do is details.

    Excellent news. Now we can determine if the rotational issues with galaxies holds. All we have to do is observe this now coreless galaxy for the next 10 to 50 million years and see if it's rotation changes.

  23. Re: Why Not On Release Day And For A Regular Price on Studios Flirt With Offering Movies Early in Home for $30 (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Not at all. There are movies that release directly to TV, YouTube, NetFlix, etc. There are games (I have some) that install directly and don't utilize the Internet. There is commercial software (I have some) that installs sans DRM and can magically be put on machines not connected to the Internet at all and still function fully.

    Yes, as by then you're likely to have seen or heard spoilers.

    Don't see why. It's axiomatically of no effect today as people will go see late showings and I'd bet money you yourself have watched movies multiple times despite knowing the story.

  25. It ain't the movie. on Studios Flirt With Offering Movies Early in Home for $30 (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    It's the whole thing that I pay higher prices for.

    I go to a theater to lose myself in cobbled up surroundings I'm not responsible for and simply order goodies off the shelf instead of having to cook them so I can nibble as I watch whatever it is on a huge screen with bombastic sound when required.

    I'm going to pay twice the amount to forgo all the things I like about movie going why?

    If I'm forgoing the theater, I certainly don't care enough about the viewing delay to shell out twice what I didn't the first time. Hell, if I'm popping $30, I'll wait for the DVD instead of a one-off viewing.
