  1. Re:Environmentalists on Huge Geoengineering Project Violates UN Rules · · Score: 2

    They also always want everyone else to undergo population declines but never have the guts to say who and how.

    I believe the traditional answer is that as birth rates tend to decline with birth control and lower poverty, we pursue those as best we're able. It's not as satisfying as saying people you don't like are too cowardly to admit they want genocide, but them's the breaks.

  2. Re:If I recall..... on Quantum Teleportation Sends Information 143 Kilometers · · Score: 1

    The problem is exactly the "if", which is treated here as if it were "for sure".

    Yes, and we use that sort of equivalence all the time. Do you have any reason to suspect that our understanding of quantum mechanics is generally unreliable or flawed in a relevant way?

  3. Re:Pirate.. on The Art of Purchasing Used Games · · Score: 3, Funny

    The Fjord is a Viking car, not a pirate car.

  4. Bittorrent link on **No Title** · · Score: 1
  5. Re:Capability Maturity Model on QA != Testing · · Score: 1

    I have to ask - why the asterisks? You might as well mention the large defense contractor and enormous employer, Ra*theon.

  6. Love those architectural articles on Ars Technica's Hannibal on IBM's Cell · · Score: 5, Funny

    Thank god. I've enjoyed his articles in the past, and if experience is any indication, I will have the false impression that I understand this stuff in a nontrivial way for up to three hours. This is not meant to rag on Hannibal, BTW.

  7. Re:Good things... on The Naked Corporation · · Score: 1

    You're presuming that the upper management of most publicly traded corporations is legitimately acting in the best interersts of all stockholders. While suboptimal for a society (IMHO), that would still be a step up from how they act now.

  8. Re:It's a PLOY I TELL YOU! on The DDR Workout - It's Official · · Score: 1

    Presumably they'll have to add another sidebar. We've only had one front page marriage proposal I can recall, but I was led to believe it was a one-time event.
