  1. Re:Just do this... on Tangible Impact of Censorship on Search Engines · · Score: 2, Funny
  2. Re:Read more carefully... on Why Terror Financing is So Tough to Track Down · · Score: 1

    Freedom isn't synonymous with having things the way you want them; you're right, though: it isn't synonymous with democracy either. There is a difference, however, between advocating non-Western ideas of freedom, and openly advocating that governments be more repressive.

  3. Re:Brilliant on Apple to Offer Monthly iTunes TV Subscriptions · · Score: 1
    Are any of you licensed physicians or chiropractors?

    Are any of you cattle ranchers or IT professionals? What kind of a question is that? Have you ever heard of Daniel David Palmer?

    If you want to go with facts, you might consider giving the scientific method more credence than intuition, pseudoscience, and anecdotal evidence.

  4. Re:Summary is wrong yet again on Lab Produces 3.6 Billion Degree Gas · · Score: 4, Informative

    Technically, it's 15 million kelvins, but that's being really pedantic. See for yourself, though.

  5. Re:Christian Science Monitor? on Why Terror Financing is So Tough to Track Down · · Score: 4, Informative

    You've clearly never read the Christian Science monitor, either, as it has nothing to do with Christian Science but is in fact highly regarded for its relative objectivity and minimal bias in reporting compared to other American newspapers.

  6. Re:Read more carefully... on Why Terror Financing is So Tough to Track Down · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There are certainly people who profess to fight for freedom and do not, but there are also people who do not even profess to fight for freedom. People who want to re-establish the Caliphate, for example, certainly think it is a good idea, but that doesn't mean that they think it has anything to do with political freedom.

  7. Re:Terrorrists or Freedom fighters ? on Why Terror Financing is So Tough to Track Down · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Some people fight for freedom. Some people use terror as a political tactic. Some freedom fighters use terrorism. Not all freedom fighters are terrorists. Not all terrorists are freedom fighters. Claiming that the two terms simply carry different connotations for the same meaning is not insightful.

  8. Re:Brilliant on Apple to Offer Monthly iTunes TV Subscriptions · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, chiropractors who focus on actually helping patients are "quacks" from the perspective of mainstream chiropractic, which believes that all disease can be cured by fixing subluxations. The quacks run the show, and the people abusing it are using good information and doing hard work.

  9. Re:Evolution can be "fast" on Human Genes Still Evolving · · Score: 1

    It doesn't seem very likely that a person would have six functional fingers. It's very possible that a six-fingered person wouldn't even have five fingers as functional as a normal person.

  10. Re:OSS ready for the polls on OSS Election Systems Desired, but Not Ready · · Score: 1

    The fact that it's hard to write good software is irrelevant if you hire a bunch of ex-convicts who don't even try to create a half-decent system that a small business might trust.

  11. Re:brand strength on Is Apple Trying to Take Over iPod Accessories? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I can't tell the difference between jeans from Tommy Hilfiger and Old Navy, yet plenty of people buy the former despite the price sometimes being several times as much.

  12. A bad thing? on Playstation 3 Delay Official · · Score: 4, Insightful

    From a sales perspective, wouldn't the holiday season be a good time to release a product like this?

  13. Re:The parable of the two farmers and the customer on Attorney General Investigates Music Price Fixing · · Score: 1

    username delivers

  14. Re:what a surprise on Space Jackets Down to Earth · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Roland Piquepaille no longer links to his blog, however, but directly to the stories. What exactly is the problem now?

  15. Re:Fallacy on RFID, Sign of the (End) Times? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There are actually congressmen who support Israel for this very reason, scary as that is.

  16. Re:History, not science on Another Explanation for Multicellular Life · · Score: 1
    But that would only tell us one way that life might form: in a test tube in some nanotech-era laboratory

    Still, it could be something like an incredibly precisely-controlled Miller-Urey experiment, rather than an direct fabrication of life (though that could very well be harder to do).

  17. Re:History, not science on Another Explanation for Multicellular Life · · Score: 2, Informative

    While we may never know, I do think this is a different situation. We can't really recreate the conditions under which language initially developed, but no doubt we will eventually be able to synthesize multicellular life.

  18. Alkaline, meet Halogen on Tough Times for Lionhead Studios · · Score: 4, Funny

    AAA world class game made by an amazing team? Well, that's a relief--at least they aren't putting out mediocre games!

  19. Re:Radiation sauna on Testing Cell Phone Radiation on Humans · · Score: 1

    Why would a language use a sauna? Does Finnish even have skin? I don't think that English does.

  20. Re:Uhh... on Was Thomas Edison Right about DC Power? · · Score: 1

    No.

  21. Re:Eh, I didn't say all Americans on U.S. Investigating Sale of Snort as Security Risk · · Score: 1

    Hopefully you're at least a better singer than Alanis Morisette.

  22. Re:Israelis are just fine on U.S. Investigating Sale of Snort as Security Risk · · Score: 1

    I must congratulate your sir, as I am entirely unable to discern whether your post was a stroke of genius or of stupidity.

  23. Re:About Foe lists... on Utah Votes 'No' to Darwin's Critics · · Score: 1

    Censorship is censorship. Non-censorship is not censorship. I mean, a rose is a rose, but a chair isn't a rose. Ignoring people is not censorship. Non-violent action taken by private citizens is not censorship.

  24. Re:Good Riddance To Yet More Bad Rubbish on Utah Votes 'No' to Darwin's Critics · · Score: 1

    It is at least as absurd as the notion that human beings can occupy antipodal points on the Earth.

  25. Re:Good Riddance To Yet More Bad Rubbish on Utah Votes 'No' to Darwin's Critics · · Score: 1
    How this amounts to something more scientifically compelling than what I learned in Sunday School is beyond me.

    That's pretty self-evident from your post.
