    Yahoo has a split personality?

  2. All I know is... on Firefox Share Slipped in July for the First Time · · Score: 1

    ...that since installing 1.0.6 I can no longer open new browser windows, use Adblock, passwords sometimes fail to enter, and sometimes other extensions don't work when I start Firefox. Also, I never have been able to remove the extension (of no known purpose, which I don't remember installing) called DOM Inspector. I may as well say all of this here, since I'd have better luck becoming immortal by immolating myself than trying to get fixes specific to me from Mozilla. And, no, my computer is not infested with [known] viruses. Still better than IE though!!!

    Drug companies highly favor putting their research money towards temporary (always have to be repurchased) solutions to chronic maladies. Why would they cure something when they could instead be paid thousands of times for "treatment"?

  18. Does Microsoft suddenly like competition... on Microsoft Testing Rival to Google's Start Page · · Score: 1

    ...or something? Why would they automatically put their stock price against Yahoo's and Google's? Or does /3 make that happen?

    On a side note, why is there WAY less modding happening today? Was there a change to modding, a sudden decrease in everyone's stockpile of mod points, and/or is everyone generally apathetic towards the posts today? And no, I didn't change my preferences; I've checked multiple times. I'll be surprised if anyone gives me a useful answer to this, though. (Keep in mind that I'm accessing threads up to a day old, so most modding in them should have already occurred.) Arigato to anyone that cares enough to help me understand this!

    It would be better for innovation if patents were "an inalienable right" which could not be signed away in a contract, or, at least, could not be sold before they exist.

    I'm sorry, but religion doesn't cover atheists:

    http://www.onelook.com/?w=religion&ls=a:
    Quick definitions (Religion)

    # noun: a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny
    # noun: institution to express belief in a divine power

    http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=66&q=reli gion:
          1.
                      a. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
                      b. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.
          2. The life or condition of a person in a religious order.
          3. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.
          4. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

    And no, atheism is not defined as being actively pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion. Some atheists may be that way, but not all, and it is not necessary to be a hardcore anti-theist to be an athiest; atheism is merely a lack of belief in a deity(s).

    Atheists do not practice religion.

  22. Re:Zero Sum Game and Education on USA to Pass Science Crown to China · · Score: 1

    So you're claiming that Tibet was under China's thumb for 3,000 years, yet was never assimilated? All I'm saying is that China was a truly badass country back in the day (that's several centuries and millenia ago, not recent history), and it must not have been trying very hard to subjugate its far weaker neighbors, or it would've succeeded.

  23. Re:Sigh. Another guy who can't read what he writes on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: 1

    By your words religion has no value as a word in human languages, because everyone practices religion. I guess we're all IPUists (invisible pink unicornists) and leprechaunists too. Atheism only says that you lack a positive belief in a deity(s), not that you have a negative one (that you believe a deity(s) can't exist). Atheists don't waste their time creating a system regarding deities any more than people waste their time creating systems regarding "!s#$6^87=B&".

    I believe he wanted you to prove that even a few percent of males really believe that women will have orgasms from giving blowjobs. I suppose you only said that in hyperbole though, but, as you can see, it didn't help very much to do so.
