Is it too late to mod this up as both insightful and a troll at the same time? That in asking 6 Linux users "What is the best distro" you'll get 7 answers?
If those thoughts can be transmitted to others, then yes. I'm not defending the result per se, I'm just telling you what its like in regards to the possession of sexual images featuring what appears to be children.
Where's the shielding? If there are nuclear processes going on in that experiment then where is the shielding from alpha, beta, gamma radiation? Where is the neutron shielding? It's not there because it's not a nuclear reaction in the cell and its not a nuclear reaction because its a hoax.
Exactly the same bullshit claims were made by Pons and Fleischmann and the photos of the apparatus show exactly the same thing : claimed nuclear processes were going on with no shielding between experiment and experimenter.
This isn't an independent test because a) the lead investigator is a person friend of the "inventor" and b) the "inventor" was present during the experiment at the critical points where fraud could have taken place.
It looks and feels like a hoax because it is a hoax.
1. Martian soil has perchlorates in it, and will poison him through his skin and any food grown in it. 2. Martian soil has very fine dust in it, which cannot be dealt with by the lungs and will give him emphysema if/when he breathes it in.
I've collected about 35 scientific mistakes so far in the book and I'm only 1/3 of the way in.
I've started reading "The Martian" and I'm astonished by the number of basic science mistakes the novel has. And I mean teeth-grindingly bad.
I like the premise, but anyone with actual knowledge of science and engineering would laugh at it and throw it next to the Phantom Menace in terms of realism.
No, I'm not kidding and it is not a joke or a troll.
Not to mention my mind isn't as sharp now as it was 20 years ago when I graduated high school.
Wrong! Unless you have early onset Alzheimer's, your brain can be as sharp or sharper than it was in high school. I'm 49 and doing 2nd year university math, physics and statistics and I'm MUCH better at any of them than I was when I graduated high school.
Suggestions:
1. Join an astronomy club (mentioned above, but I'd reinforce it). See the wonder, gain experience and confidence from others. 2. Buy a small telescope with a motorized mount and learn to do some astrophotography 3. Do a course or two on edX or coursera - the way to get better at running is to run, the way to get better at science is to do science. 4. Reading books is good. Doing what the book says is much better.
Your mind is saying "feed me" so go feed it. You won't regret it.

It adds so much cruft, it slows down the iPhone 4/4S to the point where it's barely usable
Ah yes, exactly what happened to the iPhone 3G and the original iPad. It's a form of post-purchase sabotage by Apple to drive people to upgrade their expensive hardware for more expensive hardware.
Name any scientist who has been funded "up the Wazoo" by Exxon or any other fossil fuel company to disprove global warming/climate change.
With actual evidence of receipts and bursaries.
You can't?
I can name quite a few environmental groups and universities who have taken millions of dollars including Stanford University which got $500 million from Exxon Mobil.
That's the problem with fairy tales and urban myths - they're near impossible to disprove to the gullible and easily misled.
This is Virgin Broadband using fiberoptic to the home.
Now I realise that some Americans think Europe is one huge socialist hell, but the monopolistic behavior of American ISPs to define the market by their own capability or inability is just jaw-droppingly bad.
And before anyone criticizes me, I like America a lot.
When people suffer from asthma, they are often prey to secondary bacterial infections which can turn nasty. Yes, they'll be prescribing prophylactic antibiotics in some cases.
And then there are gene-based therapies, x-rays, proton beams, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, radioisotope treatments, as well as vaccines, blood and bone marrow transpants. Nanotech is coming soon.
Yes, they're all crude and "not having an advanced understanding" (whatever the fuck that means) but they are EFFECTIVE.
As far as pandemics are concerned, where is it written that people in first world countries can't get difficult-to-treat illnesses transmitted while in close proximity to each other?
What do actually suggest that is not "crude" by your definition. Reiki? Homeopathy? Hoping it will all go away if we pray to this deity or that statue?

No. But such is the moral panic over child molestation in the UK that no-one dare stand up and defend him.
You mean he's a mass murderer who used technology to rain down death onto the allies? Wow.
Because #poisoningthewell was already taken.
Only if you're an idiot who believes that David Copperfield can really make an elephant appear out of thin air.

The price of oil has been declining for quite a while. It has NOTHING to do with this hoax.
Hopefully you've moved your stop loss to guarantee your profit.

At least it doesn't run bash.
Yes, linux nerds, the truth hurts. Linux has security holes. Enormous drive-18-wheeler-through-ones.
If you want to dish it out to M$ then you've got to be able to take it as well.
Read my comment above.
Plausible: adj having an appearance of truth or reason; seemingly worthy of approval or acceptance.
Plausible only in the very limited sense.
Like bringing in martian soil into the hab.
1. Martian soil has perchlorates in it, and will poison him through his skin and any food grown in it.
2. Martian soil has very fine dust in it, which cannot be dealt with by the lungs and will give him emphysema if/when he breathes it in.

It works. Creates secure passwords. Stores them.

Perhaps the only denialist is yourself, who sees trends in red noise data and claims apocalypse is near.

But without forks, we'd have a single unified Linux which everyone would use. Who would want that?
