  1. Re:Yeah employment! on Chinese Tech Companies Hire 'Cheerleaders' To Motivate Programmers · · Score: 1

    Tut, tut. You forget the game plan - agenda uber alles! - even another country's culture.

    Highly overrated and overhyped talent you're promoting.
    There's no such thing as "grown up" clothes, only clothes you wear that you want others to wear also.

    Polished axes were not even used as axes, ... the value was ... the effort that went into making it shinny.

    This is, of course, conjecture.

    As long as they're not damaging the browser (app or person), they have as much right to deploy anti-ad blocking (or utterly shitty design) as you do to employ ad blocking. And no, their being successful at it is not damaging to the user. Perhaps you are under the mistaken belief that the site is there to benefit you instead of them.

    What is wrong is using there[sic] position as the producer of Chrome to do it.

    Why?

  10. Re:Not many morals in the federation really on The Politics of Star Trek · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you think everyone would just sit on their asses and mooch off the replicators, I think you are wrong.

    Current status of our welfare systems seems to disagree.

    Never mind that in Star Trek such behaviour is looked as a mental illness and generally, it tends to be.

    Actually,TNG had a heavy overtone of that. Enough that I remember reading a TV Guide early review (remember that?) which pointed out that the series' society seemed to find anything not in line with Federation thought was mental illness and the author found it a bit creepy that they seemed bent on "fixing" people.

    And if it means that super-rich no longer exist, that's fine too.

    Accept in ST, they never did "no longer exist". There's always been an obvious difference in life style luxury between anyone in the Fleet or the political classes and everyone else.

    What's your take on those not content with live-and-let-live and simply finding someone who will agree with them to help deal with their issues, but actively setting people up who disagree and harassing them into bankruptcy?

  12. Re:Politics Feh on The Paris Climate Talks: Negotiating With the Atmosphere · · Score: 2

    Ever notice how people wanting to hector other people think that arguing about politics/policies 24/7/everywhere wants everyone to think that's a grownup adult activity?

    So, how much more would the density increase and how much more power that would yield if we say double the percentage of CO2 (0.04 -> 0.08%)?

  15. Re:Then what on Easy-To-Clean Membrane Separates Oil From Water · · Score: 2

    This would work if the filter takes out more oil than it requires to wash it off. Oil sticks to polymer, other oil is attracted to the oil skin more than the water and the skin grows. Forced water overcomes the polymer bias. The resultant sludge is then treated like water polluted oil instead.

    As with many AC's, this one has decided s/he is an arbiter of social norms. In this case, what constitutes a "good" joke.

    So is "AC" some landmark where we can begin to check to see that this is a real story as opposed to something you just made up to support a particular view, complete with self-appointed authority ("I ever taught")?

  19. Re: And we care because...why? on Survey: More Women Are Going Into Programming · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Ah, ah, ah... You can't use male motivations if one cannot use female motivations. We need to MAKE SURE that there is a 50% male population in those areas. Isn't that how this works?

  20. Re:Toilet paper and timber? on Earth Home To 3 Trillion Trees, Half As Many As When Human Civilization Arose · · Score: 1

    You understand that a novel is what is known as fiction. This includes many 'facts' the author chooses to inject into the fantasy. So, using a fiction novelist's work as a bolster isn't really a good idea.
