  1. Que up... on China Says Serious Polluters Will Get the Death Penalty · · Score: 1

    Uhm...yeah...Anyone who believes it, just form a line and go stand on your head over there in to corner to be counted.
    More like, any manufacturer out of step with the Communist overlords will be executed for "littering" for lack of a better tag to use for "official reports" published for the world to see. Kinda like their policy of aborting excess children, retroactive up to 5 years old, which doesn't officially happen, as far as you know, because if it is reported, a reporter would be executed for "polluting" or whatever tickles their nipples that day.

    We don't have to know. We have borders and a Constitutional directive to protect them. Time to start weeding out, who we let in. Yes, that means profiling, fuck Hillary. The buck stops here, not in some other persons country. That's their business, let's learn to mind our own. I don't think we need business abroad anyway. I think we need to tax U.S. companies abroad, equal to the amount of money and jobs removed from our economy, including outsourcing. Just mind our own business and be more selective about visitors and immigrants.

    Yeah, popularity is a big factor. But we can't discount the performance, or content in Torvalds case. Don't feel bad, between you and Jagger, the same thing would've occurred.
    But this study is narfed. They don't account for audience self absorption in the late clappers. They don't account for a 1 - 10 scale on the length of applause.
    They don't account for " polite applause" for entertainment neutral presentations. Frankly, the criteria really sounds like a half drunken attempt to busy a group of people, til the vitamin B and aspirin kick in.

              If I hadn't spent my life tied up with so many other disciplines, areas of study, research and experimentation, I could've ended up teaching. But then, those who can, do, those who can't, teach.

    Not at all, I still have a couple Rhesus monkeys left over from testing.
    I usually get pretty good mileage from throwing some toys in their cages and turning up a sitcom for voice overs.
    I suppose if "Billie Jean" comes on the radio, I'll probably scope the cage for amusement now.
    On the plus side of my summation, Jacko didn't have hemorrhoids that whipped around like dreadlocks , when he shook his ass.

    Amen to that! A Rhesus Monkey with a ventriloquist could've replaced Michael Jackson.
    But, as far as this silly study goes, if 50% start clapping immediately, it IS a sign of enthusiastic enjoyment, therefore the other half are peered into it, but,the fact that an immediate response was elicited from a near majority is, in fact, a sign of quality of performance. This reeks of the bias of wannabes fulfilling an assignment for a grade, with the delusion that they could "find" some "revealing" characteristic in social science.

    Droids in real life are built to suffer. To do shit man doesn't want to expend time/effort/health to do. Heavy, dangerous, repetitive, they don't get tired, they don't get hungry, they don't whine about trolls, they don't feel any remorse.
    It should come as no surprise that some writer somewhere realized a machine is a damn machine even if you give it a nice voice, a stylish haircut and big tits.
    It's a machine. The pissing and moaning C3PO did was a comedy device, not real life. Pursuing philosophical ends to an imaginary problem in a closed system is neurotic on television. Doing it in real life.... well, as long as you don't wear Trekkie gear to deliver the mail or preach from a bullhorn on the streetcorner...

    The word "learnt " is part of slang. Slang is not considered good grammar.
    The leading dentists surveyed found that leading and trailing competitive publications publish opinions on word usage and are as subject to error as The Enquirer. The name Standard Dictionary of American English is no more standard than Federal Express is federal.
    Definitions of all sorts of cultural terms are included in dictionaries. Definitions of all sorts of cultural terms disappear from dictionaries over time.
    All this "look a bird" aside; in the several states public school system at the middle school level you were taught past, present, future perfect and conjugated them in first, second and third persons until you thought you would die.
    The end result. You are currently trying to use a screwdriver to turn a nut.
