I do partially retract my statement. The catholic claims were that aids could pass through condoms due to how small it is, and thus by using condoms and believing you were protected, you were spreading the disease. The first claim is flatly false, and the second is somewhat true. You are more at risk by having sex with a condom, then not having sex at all. But the fact is abstinence-only policies are just not going to work, people are going to have sex. And the Catholic policy on anti-condom even for health reasons is misleadingly amoral.

In summary. I still stand by my position of "Fuck them."

Though I should not be so surprised or outraged that a gizmodo article shows no research, critical thinking, or effort.

In the US there are like 5 cable channels that show cartoons 24x7 (including Saturday morning and classic toons). Nik, CN, and Disney all have new shows that air on Saturdays.

On top of that, Disney owns ABC, and has a couple of their own cartoon channels. Why would they compete with themselves?

Yes, this is a problem for those that don't have cable, but between dedicated cable and internet programming, this is more of a sign that the traditional on-air networks are becoming more marginalized that they cannot (or will not) to after this market.

Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin...

This naturally led to accusations that Verizon was throttling Netflix to tilt the scales in favor of Redbox.

Well, the accusations were just adding the reason. It was already well known that Verizon has been throttling Netflix for years.

Monkeys for nothing, but the chimps are for free.

Except that TMBG essentially invented "streaming audio" with dial-a-song.

But as usual the summary is misleading at best. They have had a website for years. The part that people are getting excited about is that they are releasing new weekly music on it again.

Or cassette tapes....

But I suppose it is less lossy than not recording it at all and allowing the song to float off in the air.

Well more accurately I think it is that they are denying that HIV causes AIDS.

I disagree that the deniers have moved on to something else. Shit, the Catholic church still claims condoms cause AIDS. And most of the religious right claims it only affects homosexuals.

They fixed that for the casino. This time they decided to just contact their corrupt friends in the state government to get a no-bid contract.

But if I do something illegal, you don't go and sue the nearest bank just because they have money. You sue the person responsible.

Claiming Google is responsible for all of the content posted on the entire internet is stupid.

I think you want the Balmer Peak. Nobody wants to peek at Balmer.

In space... your screams are subject to the inverse cube law.

Yes, but will Japan send their scientists to jail for not predicting it?

In space... only the passengers inside your spaceship can hear you scream.
