  1. Re:How about we pay the author not to write them? on Asimov Estate Authorizes New I, Robot Books · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yeah it was bad enough as a book. If they made a movie of it you would be forced to see commercials for it.

    Possibly. It was just measured they need time to figure out what the limits of it are.

  7. There is no reason on Google Books As "Train Wreck" For Scholars · · Score: 2, Funny

    There is no reason for you to post this comment here when you could have put together a properly formed and documented essay in a couple of months. There is was no reason for Newton to come up with his theory of gravity when in a few centuries Einstein would come up with a more complete theory.

    This is a long term project for humanity. We damn well better start now rather than waiting to do it right. Badly data can be cross compared and corrected. Data which has not been digitized at all is completely useless (Towards the purpose of having digitized data). In the time it took you to complain about it you could have pulled up a few scans, and done some good old fashioned legwork in the form of copying it out in ASCII and redrawing the illustrations like clerks of old.

  8. Braiins... on Attractive Women Make Men Temporarily Stupid · · Score: 1

    It would be interesting to get an MRI and see exactly what part of the brain is active at that time. Most likely the Preoptic Area of the Hypothalamus which is twice as large in men than in women. Also I remember reading somewhere that the way the male brain is able to perform better on focused tasks is by switching off the parts of it not related to what it is currently doing. This could be the explanation.

    MRI can't get high enough resolution. You need to be able to image it on a molecular level. MRI would just tell you the structure of the brain. Its like saying you could play a copy of a video game if you had an accurate listing of the files in the game directory.

  15. Re:Don't worry - you're not alone on World's First 3D Webcam Tested · · Score: 1

    I can actually do that. Might be because at one point I took these classes that involved doing stereograms with increasing distance between the images to try and help my epilepsy or something.

    Huh. I just found that I can move my eye's focus up and down individually (or at least reverse the movement for each eye).
    I wonder if I could get my eyes to swivel around like The End...

    In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or collaborative content community with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional or disciplinary response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

    Your response is quite the opposite of getting the best of a troll as it is quite obviously emotional. Me, I just googled a random section of your post, and found it posted somewhere else then I tried to figure out why you were ranting incoherently. I found a history of the same types of posts and commented on how this was your default method of expression. Whether or not you have had articles run in magazines is unimportant.

    I have no need or desire to address your supposed "facts" as doing so is not the purpose of this forum. This is a place for general discussion. You, of course, had the right to post your view, but you have to put up with whatever the internet sends your way in regards to comments. I don't have mod points as I don't post nearly enough nor metamoderate so whatever issues you may have regarding to moderators are also none of my concern.

    Windows 7 is coming. You seem to have issues with the way it handles certain issues with its network security. The developers don't seem to share your concern. Some people have issues with the way you present your arguments, but yet you don't change your presentation. Go read up on how to write clearly and effectively and you will find that the "trolls" will be more likely to address your "facts" instead of just dismissing you out of hand as a raving loony.

    If the employer is encouraging the employees to sell the coins for the value of the metal then I would say that yes he is responsible. He set up a BUSINESS of paying people with this system. Not just his employees, but also outside contracting agencies.

    Basically from what I read easylist went above and beyond blocking ads on his website by actually changing the way html on his page was rendered in order to disable all forms of advertisement.

    They disabled everything but css and html basically putting his pages back to the early 90s in terms of functionality.

    The restrictions were so sever that it became actually impossible to download noscript if you were using easylist because it would remove the download links. This caused the author to have a HOLY CRAP THIS IS BROKEN response so over the course of one night he made a "fix" for it. Only after he had released the fix did he realize how much he had overstepped the bounds of decency.

    He issued this apology.
