  2. Is Good From God? on Humans Are Nicer Than We Think · · Score: 0

    i don't think God exists, can we have objective (as oposed to subjective) moral duties and values in the absence of a god?
    if so, what we think is right is merely the result of evolutive advantages of morality and nothing else.

    also let me suggest http://www.philosophybro.com/ as a rudimentary and entertaining introduction to philosophy bro..

  10. Re:No.... yes on Is Overclocking Over? · · Score: 0

    a mobile cpu switches between frequencies very fast on demand, so if you increase the top speed, it will spend less time in that state.., so for example we are comparing (40% full@1ghz 60% idle@250mhz ) vs (30%full@1.4ghz 70%idle@250mhz) . so yes, you can save power overclocking in the typical usage of a mobile device.

  15. WAT on A Cognitive Teardown of Angry Birds · · Score: 1

    i wold guess that those figures are way WAY off. 1. 50M downloads or users? 2. 4 minutes day/ every day /the whole year? really?, i beated every level in about 5 hours total,(all the android versions, and im bad at it) TFA assumes a average use of 24h.16m per user per year. that seems like way over reality for me. my guess would be around 1/4 or 1/5th of the given figure, still a lot tough.

  16. probability on In Bolivia, a Supervolcano Is Rising · · Score: 1

    I need an aclaration, When an event, be it astronomical or geological is said to be occurring once every xxx years, and therefore is due, does it mean that there is a cyclical underlying cause which generates periodicity (accumulation of something etc) or does it mean that every year there is about 1/xxx probability of occurrence?
