  1. Re:OTOH on In Some Places, Local Search Beating Google · · Score: 1

    Having a foot in the door in developing markets is a key for future success.
    Until the door gets slammed shut - careful, or you could lose an arm and a leg.

    Google's contextual ads showing up in Gmail for mail in Russian are absolutely irrelevant to the subject most of the time as compared to mail in English.
    That's because it's not cost effective to target ads to people whose monthly salary is half a potato.

    This is slashdot. We'd be lucky to fill one slot. Ever.

  4. Re:RTFP! on Crime Reduction Linked To Lead-Free Gasoline · · Score: 1

    I am only in favor of killing the criminals after they've been convicted.
    Agreed, it would be much better if we could simply prevent them being born ... er, wait...

    Re: the second link in the above post, if that brown and red ring is the air intake of an engine, doesn't that make the other plane (I assume that's what the lihght trails are from) to the right, not the left as stated?

  7. Re:Religion vs Darwin vs Technology vs Society on Evolution and the 'Wisdom of Crowds' · · Score: 1

    if god had gone away, died, dissolved or otherwise ceased to exist five minutes after the "creation", everything would still be the same because what he created was so great that it works without him?
    Maybe he runs linux? Uptime: for ever.

    When you've solved the problem of weather prediction and control, maybe you could go back and learn the difference between power and energy.

  9. Re:sapiens! on Evidence Found for Earliest Modern Humans · · Score: 1

    I received my BSc. in primatology only a few years ago [snipped] Species actually biologically exist; (with a few exceptions) they are pretty much defined as a group of individuals who can (and do) interbreed.
    So horses and donkeys are the same species? I thought DeVry only did subjects like computing...

    religion has been affecting social constructs
    As have how to make axes out of rocks, the raising of animals, and boobies. Yet none of those things appears to have its own branch of philosophy...
  11. Re:Thank you! on Evolution and the 'Wisdom of Crowds' · · Score: 1

    Expecting Europeans to know about the public acceptance of evolution or ID in Asia, Africa or Australia is optimistic at best. Just as expecting Americans to have even eard of such places, let alone spell them or point to them on a map.
    Fixed that for you.

  13. Re:nah, it's evolution on Evidence Found for Earliest Modern Humans · · Score: 1

    People who feel like bashing their newborn children to a rock instead of having a warm fuzzy feeling are unsuccessful in reproduction.
    They're no better or worse than anyone else in that regard. It's their descendants who suffer from a somewhat reduced fecundity.

    I don't have any training in the brothers Grimm. And yet I can recognise a fairytale when I see it.

    Don't want to rain on your parade here, but philosophy of religion is a non-subject.

  15. Re:Worse than ignorance, it's iggerunt. on Cisco Offices Raided, Execs Arrested In Brazil · · Score: 1

    women in Brazil generally like men and generally treat them well.
    This is because most of them used to be men.
  16. Re:Colinear points on Best Way To Teach Oneself Math? · · Score: 1

    Intuitively (meaning without doing any proofs)
    Stop right there! Intuition often breaks down at infinity and the infinitesimal, i.e. Achilles and the tortoise, Zeno's paradox.

    That's why we need things like limits, calculus etc.

    Anyone who admits to being a blogger is a silly cunt; anyone who describes himself as such is an irredeemable, pretentious and arrogant one.

    Christ on a bike, how long is this going on?

    What it comes down to is this - is Jackson a driver telling the mechanic how to change the oil filter, or is Tolkein a greasemonkey telling Schumacher how to double declutch?

    If that doesn't settle it, nothing will.

    When students can't figure out how to club together, buy a copy between them and photocopy it, then beer is obviously too cheap th the campus bar.

    If you hack your DVD player so that it makes coffee in addition to playing DVDs, then that's totally irrelevant to this discussion and absolutely not the same thing as installing tetris on your phone. In fact only a retarded moron or rabid Apple fanboi would even suggest it was.
    Fixed that for you.
