    That we citizen elect the politicians.

    Yes, but we don't select them.

    To be unnecessarily extreme, we can essentially pick between Hitler and Pol Pot. While it's a tough choice, it's not a choice I want to make.

    Don'd feed the extremely inaccurate troll. The probability of complex organic life coming into being is actually much higher than most people realize.

    I think the real reason we haven't found anyone out there is probably things like interstellar hydrogen getting in the way of space travel, and causing scattering and absorption of communications signals. Most people agree that the SETI project is fundamentally flawed in that way. Doesn't make it an unworthy cause, however, just an unlikely one.

    Statistically, the probability of life in the universe is exactly 100%.

    I don't think you can talk about things that have already happened like that. Like, if I draw a 7 of clubs out of a hat, it doesn't make it 100% chance that I'd've drawn a 7 of clubs, does it?

  4. Re:Marketing on Heavy US Demand Delays iPad's Worldwide Release · · Score: 4, Funny

    iPad sales dropped down to ~10%

    Well, at least they're right about exceeding sales expectations. That's way more than I expected anyone to buy.

    Maybe he would have preferred you'd said:

    Military flexes level 80 hunter muscle, says they will respond with force, what's new?

    You know, to make it more cyber.

    Well, Jobs recently said that all Mac developers must now communicate only in Klingon. He said that people may see this as a risky move, but it'll be a better choice in the long haul.

    That's actually a misconception. Teddy Roosevelt gets a lot of credit as a "trust-buster" but Taft had significantly more impact in that area.

  23. Re:Doubtful on Kojima Predicts the End of the Console · · Score: 1

    Spending less time playing a game isn't often better, particularly with games with a great deal of intriguing storyline like Bioshock. Anyone who thinks the merit of a game is how quickly you can power through it is missing something rather important.
