One might imagine his handwashing will be as enthusiastic as his evangelism was. In order to extract the maximum marketability from his confession it's necessary that he embellish it until it was even more diabolical than it actually was.

I'm not giving him a pass here - the man promoted the evil prevention of progress in a most effective way. I'm just pointing out that much like his efforts then were, his efforts to promote his book will be equally self-serving.

Comment Re:Evolutionary Theory (Score 1) 347

You are telling me that entropy doesn't apply outside of the Earth in the known universe, simply because we have a Sun?

You missed the point. Entrophy applies to closed systems, earth is not a closed system, not even close, as you have shitloads of energie coming from the sun. And guess what, that energie can be used to counteract entrophy buildup and thats what is happening with evolution.

I hear they recently leaked a few Emails....and I hear he had to step down.

You should watch less Fox News. The whole email thing is so far a total a non-issue as far as actual science is concerned, as so far there has been no sign of fraud. But hey, a few quotes out of context and you can steer up a big fat controversy where there really is none.

Well played Border Control, well played.

Submission + - Data leakage through email costs $100 million (ieee.org)

TXISDude writes: "In Europe and Asia, Formula One is the undisputed king of motor sports. No other form of motor racing can compete with the glamour, money, and technology that F1 teams draw on. But for much of this racing season, the sport has been engulfed in a spying scandal wherein members of one team allegedly acquired secret details about the technology used by a competitor. That team, the UK-based McLaren, was recently fined an unprecedented US $100 million. As details of the affair have leaked out, fans have been shocked by the confessions and betrayals behind the scandal, which would seem more at home in an airport thriller than a multibillion-dollar sport."
