It would still follow the shortest line in curved space; just the opposite direction.

Good post. The anti-GMO crowd is as foolish and dangerous as the anti-vaccine crowd. And, like the anti-vaccine crowd, they are self-deluded, and convinced that they are right, despite the absolute lack of any evidence.

The only point they have in their favor is the questionable behaviors of certain companies, which are a consequence of some bad laws we have, not anything to do with the technology.

If it's effectively random, it'll improve the weather in half the places. If it's not random, it'll improve the weather in half the places.

The world's ecosystem has generally thrived when the planet was warmer than it is today.

Yeah. I switch between Firefox & Chrome, do a fair amount of browsing and gaming, and I don't think I've ever ran anything that used WebGL. Has it just not hit yet, or is it like VML, and will never be commonly used?

Dude, calm down. You're talking to a troll that's just trying to get you riled up. I doubt he believes what he's saying, he's just having fun pushing your buttons. He's anonymous for a reason, a cowardly reason. Ignore him.

Sadly, I think he was serious. If you look at his posting history, this fits in with his other opinions. Kind of boggles the mind, doesn't it?

Wow am I glad I don't live in the US if that's the usual response to a rape claim.

It's not. In fact, the Ohio case is unusual enough that it made national news as a scandal.

Explain what right of yours is being infringed by the conversation you're overhearing? Your right not to be offended? Your right to control other peoples speech? Your right to not ever be challenged?

It certainly is. But...

It also performs better than HTML5 + javascript. If you create an animation or game, it requires a MUCH beefier computer to run it at the same level in HTML5 as in flash. So, doesn't that mean HTML5 is even more of a resource hog?

Although I'll concede flash is buggier.

Note: He's basically retracted that piece. He later admitted he shouldn't have made that judgement because he doesn't know enough about videogames.

Well, maybe they thought they had 'Democrat' covered when they detected drug use.

"how can she be married to someone who could beat her, even though he never has?"
Hey, that's progressive feminist logic.

Nothing goes on facebook, no like button gets clicked, unless I'm perfectly fine sharing that with the whole world. But... there's not much I'm honestly worried about the whole world knowing. Why should I be scared to let my political, social, religious, sexual opinions known? If there IS something I don't want people to know, I don't 'like' it, since the whole stinking POINT of 'liking' something is to announce something publicly.

No, there's just a correlation.

They wouldn't say you're homosexual. They don't know that. They would just say that your history of likes puts you in a category that is composed of x% homosexuals. Since that's TRUE, and they can mathematically back it up, there is absolutely no libel claim at all. These people do know statistics and how to properly run regressions. They aren't stupid.
