Then how about Survivor: Baffin Island. Let's see those bikinis now, bitch.

Give, no. But the Russians will cheerfully sell one to anyone with enough money.

I think you misspelled "con artists."

If Survivor had happy endings, it would be an infinitely better show. So would Survivor: Turkish Prison, where every week, a contestant gets voted in front of the firing squad.

As to Mars, anybody who believed for one moment that NASA was going to participate in sending people to another planet to die is a moron.

I suspect it's more that the app on your phone is a deadman switch. It goes off when it stops detecting the wallet. Which means that when the batteries in the wallet go dead, your phone makes annoying noise.

I can't help but wonder if they're smart enough to have a way to simply turn the app off and leave it off when you're away from the charger. (I cannot, of course, be bothered to read the article to find out.)

Yeah, it was really foolish to send all those Apollo astronauts to the moon when they kept dying on the way, huh?

Better than having no sense.

You've obviously never driven in Atlanta, where every other street is Peachtree something-or-other. Peachtree Street, Peachtree Road, Peachtree Lane, Peachtree Circle, Peachtree Blvd, Peachtree Way, Peachtree Up Your Butt. The locals think it's funny.

(Also the only city I've ever been to where I saw a uniformed motorcycle cop pick up a hooker on his department bike, but that's another story.)

The first couple of episodes of Scorpion were so bad they were hysterically funny. This show started as an episode of the regular CSI, and it was so bad it was just bad. It surprises me when script writers an even spell the word "computer" correctly. They certainly never get anything else right.

You're confusing copyright with privacy rights, which are very, very different. He's a newsworthy figure. They were not. He chose to be newsworthy. They did not. He's not in the same position as the women he extorted.

Frankly, the guy belongs in prison for extortion.

Your sincere desire to be able to do whatever you want without fear of consequences does not change the fact that the internet is a public place, and inherently so. It cannot be made otherwise.

. . . confidentially, we assume . . .

Why would anyone assume that? How clueless does someone have to be in 2015 to not understand that nothing on the internet is private, ever, in any way. It is a public place. Do not do anything on the internet you would not do in your front lawn.

Statistically speaking, the odds are about a hundred billion to one that the person who wrote the article didn't understand what they were told, probably third or fourth hand, by someone who also didn't understand the paper, written by a physicist and a computer geek who don't understand biology or evolution.

It's about procreation and the survival of the genetic line. Individual survival is irrelevant, especially once one has procreated. (Though even those who don't contribute to the survival of the genetic line of their family - the person who has a sibling willing to sacrifice themselves to save the family enhances the chances the family will procreate.)

This kind of confusion is what happens when people try to do research outside of their expertise. If you want to understand biology, ask a biologist, not a physicist or a computer geek. (Though a lot of biologists make the same mistake, of course.)

You remind me of the over-excited Chihuahua that is so happy to meet a new friend it humps your pant leg until it pees all over the carpet.

No, he's really not. And given what a bunch of pansy ass wimps the conspiracy theorists generally are, I'm sure Buzz could handle it on his own. He certainly did Bart Sibrel in 2002, and he keeps as busy a schedule as ever.
