* Same-sex marriage

  * anti-war sentiments

  * pro-choice

I've never heard a news source support any of these (though I have seen editorials, clearly labelled as such, take either side on all of those). If reporting on a story indicates a bias regarding the story itself, then the only choice you are left with is no reporting at all. The system we have is far from perfect, but its certainly better than that sort of fascism.

I wasn't quoting a journalist, but the actual scientists who worked on the project. The software was fed a problem for which science had no answer (specifically, a formula for cellular metabolism). It gave them one, which, worked. Biologists still don't have an explanation to go with the formula.

I couldn't find a more recent article, but at the end it mentions that this AI came up with a formula for cellular metabolism. It is my understanding that this formula has been tested to be valid, but no human scientists understands what the formula means yet.

On the Republican side, one plank states "We oppose the creation of any new race-based governments within the United States." Make an argument for a race-based government. Go ahead, try.

I have no idea what this is even supposed to mean, but if they oppose the creation of four dimensional three headed goats with frog legs, it would be just as relevant. Well, I suppose someone might actually be working on a design for the goats.

Comment Re:Private Links != Paid Priority (Score 2) 258

In network operations, priority is a very specific concept.

So you admit that you are arguing over semantics.
Most of us don't care which concept or method is used. We only care what the end result is. And the end result is they paid, and now their traffic gets there faster than the people who didn't pay.
