So your theory is that a perfect crystal that can be completely described in one short sentence, contains more information than a strand of human DNA? Because you think negentropy is information, and if you run the numbers you see that weight for weight a perfect crystal has more negentropy than human DNA. At least you gave something that can be calculated numerically, I'll give you credit for that if you don't change your mind about it now that I calculated a few things.

No, my watch is a superior watch. Their watch is a superior bracelet. To each their own, just don't lie to yourself about what you're buying, that's dumb.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that the complexity and information content of a closed system will increase. Cue Creationists who will insist I am wrong but are unable to describe what any of the terms mean nor how to calculate them.

"Honey, do you even know what color my eyes are?"

Even if copyright enforcement doesn't completely stop the spread of a work among the technological elite, it still chills awareness among the general public. For a lot of people, if it's not on Netflix and it's been repeatedly taken down from YouTube, it doesn't exist. Major news media are unlikely to report on it positively, as their parent companies also own movie studios and don't want to appear to condone copyright infringement.

Liar! Everyone knows that [profitable thing] does not cause [expensive health problem].

I'm no lawyer, but I fail to see how that sort of case wouldn't be dismissed in summary judgment early on. The exclusive right in one's name is a trademark, not a copyright. It's an easy mistake to make, seeing as how the term "intellectual property" has caused people to confuse copyright and trademark. At least in my country, trademarks have a defense called "nominative fair use", which allows others to use a name freely in a work in ways that do not suggest endorsement of the work by the trademark's owner.

Nope. Violence is the problem, not the solution.

There isn't one solution. But every decision you make shapes the world, and the beginning is to be conscious of that.

If I can use the same profile if I just swap one or two extensions, then it's close enough for government work.

It isn't. It's that it's the best browser available. It might not always be fastest, but I actually find that sites work better in it... even Google sites like Youtube. I don't know how google is failing so badly at the web, but they are. Example, Youtube in chrome. Pause a video and go away for a long time. Come back and start it up again. Instead of reconnecting to the stream and buffering and picking up like normal it chokes at the end of the buffer and actually reloads the page. In the process it fails to accurately remember where you were and restarts about the place you paused last time. WTF? What was the point of having their own browser again? Certainly it wasn't to have a platform on which their own site would work correctly, because it doesn't. So just for the purposes of tracking people? Right-o!

I do run Chrome all day every day, I use it for gmail, which is still slightly better in Chrome than in Firefox. I can spare the memory. But seriously, Chrome's only real justification for existing (sandboxing) has been shown to not actually provide meaningful security, so who gives a shit?

Try slashdot :D

Just like Hockey. Most people who are interested are already watching.

MMA, UItimate Fighting etc. proves that people want to watch people hurt one another. Some graphics might be just the thing to liven up boxing.

Yeah, you should see what the news says about Israel.

So, is there any other kind of news from India? Is there anything worth mentioning in comparison to the ongoing rape? Answer, no. It all pales by comparison. Nothing else happening in India is vaguely as interesting as how rapey they are, just like nothing more interesting than the ongoing Third Reich-esque treatment of Palestinians is ongoing.

When the government insists that women are at fault for their own rapes, then there is provably an actual culture of rape. Period, the end. When these things can happen in public and no one gets in trouble, there is a culture of rape.

The fact that a small minority of Indians are protesting against it doesn't change the fact that they live in a culture which protects and even encourages rape.

A lot of it is right out in the open, like campaign contributions. Then people just ignore it.

Please, try not to be a colossal idiot. Before complaining, ask yourself what you're complaining about. Why would the signs be in English? Because their own government doesn't give a fuck about their rights, and they're appealing to an international audience to try to get some traction.

Just think for just two seconds instead of letting your knee jerk. Nobody fucking cares how put upon you think you are by this anti-rape movement. It's not about you.
