    With the wrong ideas on the right way you probably can make any group of people go stupid.
    You probably can make the Doberman Pinscher Club of Greater Milwaukee suddenly turn into a nazi party by just implanting enough wrong ideas the right way.

  2. Actually the political stance don't end defining much how much a person care about facts or evidences.
    I mean, if you look at the american colleges right now, there is this awful cult using the "liberal" as a base to create this horrible racist and sexist indoctrination.
    But on other hand, you got GOP bible trumpers that are just as fanatic.

  3. Try the portuguese/spanish "porque/por que/por quê/porquê".

    Trump is not a president, he's a nuke meant to destroy the system.

    People don't want a "better candidate", but someone that will wreck the system so hard, it will have to be rebuilt, because as it is, its just slowly but steadily fucking their lives in a irreversible way.

    To be fair, freebasic is better than java in several performance wise aspects.

    There's no much difference, everything is a clone of Algol or a clone of a clone.

  9. Re:Is it *really* Vulkan? on NVIDIA Shows New Doom Demo On GeForce GTX 1080 (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    As far i'm aware, its easier to write vulkan drivers than Open GL drivers, so, its quite possible, but not for the reason they're stating.

  10. It's impossible to math to take down a plane... on Airline Delays Flight Over Passenger's Suspicious Math Equations (usnews.com) · · Score: 3

    ..Unless he divided by zero.
    That would create a NaN, and everything that touched it would also became a NaN, thus the passagers, plane fuselage, engines, ground...

    Feminism was a great movement that guaranteed equal rights on the civilized world and in certain ways made it better.
    But nobody does it anymore as its not needed, except on awful places with the sharia law etc..

  13. Worry not Mr.Musk on Elon Musk: 'We Need a Revolt Against the Fossil Fuel Industry' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The fossil fuel industry will die... as soon the current fossil fuel companies like exxon mobil find a way to control and profit off electric cars, cashing in on the whole "switching every car on the planet by an electric" in the process.

  14. Re:It happens on Windows 10 Updates Are Now Ruining Pro-Gaming Streams (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    There is a big push to make the games be on vulkan instead.
    Same performance as DX12, but can run on other Oses, and most importantly, can run on Windows 7,which is still used by several consumers.

    You would be surprised to know, but he does have quite a lot of support from other ethnicities as well, but mostly due the whole "i'm bringing jobs" speech.
    Seems like people are more interested on actually getting a job from a racist guy than a pat on the head from the "cute" face of the corporations.

    The thing is much more complex than just "men and women" or even "person of ethnicity X or Y", at a point that if you try to boil down everything that might make a group better than others by such labels, you would take years, get insane and still get two or three people crumbling your system apart like a castle of cards near some pesky hyperactive kids.

    So, the best you can do is just judge people by their individual merits instead of worrying about group X or Y.
