Go look up the words 'cynical' and 'sarcastic'. You appear to not know what they mean. If you really want to know the point of my post, read the post I was replying to. If you can't see anything wrong with it, and cannot understand why someone would object to such a message (esp considering the message that was being replied to) then you are outside the realms of what I can reason with.
"Jindal was against spending "job stimulus" money..."
In the federal budget?
"You stated yourself that the program is working just fine without additional funding"
Sure, it's not like it's going to be one of those things that requires funding annually, and of course all of the staff required to run it are gonna love being told "we paid you already last year, you don't need money again this year".
"When does one cross the line from "flamebait" to "yes, that is an accurate portayal of what the current governmental policies or the media would report as real."."
Occording to quantum theory, god could not exist and not exist, which would mean that god doesn't exist or not exist (where existance and non-existance are mutually illusive... I mean exclusive).
But then I've never really been big on that. Super positions?! Chance?!! God doesn't exist to be able to play dice with the universe!
Peoples homes fell down around them in their sleep. How do you do drills to practice for that? From all I can tell, Italy's responce to the quake, as far as getting people out the ground, was pretty good as much as it can be (much of the work has to be done by hand, as large heavy machinary can cause more damage). Bad things happen. Get over it people.
Wow. I know tragedy inspires emotion in people, but you take it to the next level and completely shut down any part of your brain that wasn't formed as a small child throwing toys out of your pram. You're pure reaction huh, no thought behind it at all. Voi idiota.
What planet do you come from where 'one' is a good sample size?! If you wanna start extrapolating from one off events, you wouldn't get very far... not even across a road.
Lab technicians aren't scientists now?!! I call bull. A scientist is anyone who follows the scientific method in establishing truth. You're hardly gonna be a good lab technician if you rely too much on faith rather than test. You don't need a degree to be scientific anymore than you need to be ordained by the pope to be a catholic.
No, it happened at night, nobody was in schools or libraries, people were in bed.
Anyway, the prediction was non-localised, what are you supposed to do? Evacuate everyone from a 300 mile radius? Cities didn't need evacuating, just unstable buildings. Buildings that didn't collapse didn't need evacuating at all. Seems stupid to move thousands of people hundreds of miles when only a few hundred people needed moving a few hundred feet to keep them alive. This isn't even a case of "hindsight is 20/20", even with hindsight his prediction wasn't helpful.
Puts netbook sales increase at 5101%, and as overall netbook sales have increased by 6375% (a well known figure), that places MS's new market share at 80%. QED.
No! It will only make sense to those who <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/technologynews/5105!!! Get it right people! *hmph*
"I still can't wrap my head around how the two kernels yield to each other in respect to the PC architecture"
User Mode Linux manages it... imagine a UML running in kernel mode, loadable as a module... you lose the protection of running it in user mode, but you gain speed of running it within the kernel.

That's useful!

Not everything in windows is slower than everything in linux.

"I don't know, but I'd predict that more things scientists have predicted have come true than politicians.
Of course, that IS a prediction coming from a scientist"
Well, it's not really prediction if it's in the past
So... kids who can't read or write shouldn't be sent to school?
"even before you start considering metaphor"
We're talking about the vatican here. The bible. Metaphor. *lol*

During election season.

I tried that, and nothing... nothing's happened at all, I'm now just staring at the screen which I typed "radon earthquake" into. How's that helpful?
I can't believe I missed a semicolon... I'll create a git tree for it, then if anyone wants to contribute...?
In fairness, if he hadn't've called his earthquake prediction machines "cassandra", it might've been taken more seriously.
Very easy with a tiny bit of perl (microsoft use perl, right?)

Hence my "do not recommend for stuff you care about" disclaimer... but it definitely wasn't luck, it just worked, repeatibly, without problem.

wow it's like you said 'woosh', but you actually 'woosh'ed yourself. You attempted to embarrass but you embarrassed yourself. Blazes.
