Comment Re:Uhg, not Cass Sunstein (Score -1, Troll) 530

You would think that the fact that the North Pole completely melted in Septermber 2009 would have awakened people to the effects of global warming, but everyone ignored that. And the oceans rising 30 feet should have clued them in, but they ignored that too. The Greenland Ice Cqps are also gone. Now, the hurricane scale is being increased to 6, and nobody cares.

When will people take these dire predictions seriously? Global Warming is a serious business. Al Gore needs your Carbon Credit money now!

I think her credentials are fine, and all that, and I don't think her gender would really hold her back to much, but the fact that she would be over 100 years old, and dead, might be a problem for many employers.

Employer: So, you worked on developing Cobal and Fortran
Grace: BRAINS!
Employer: What have you been working on lately?
Gace: BRAINS!
Employer: That's more of a medical area. We're more into Web services here.
Grace: BRAINS!

I just don't think the interview would go well.

Comment The Modern Way (Score 3, Insightful) 206

He was ignorant of modern scientific efforts. Nowadays, we take a vote among political activists, come up with a consensus, and ridicule anyone who believes in the minority. We don't need any of that mathematical proof or experimental evidence crap. It saves a lot of time. As soon as you have a majority, you can start belittling everyone else.

We are no longer hobbled by those ancient, useless beliefs, like "the scientific method". Ours is the enlightened age!

Te government will be able to know where you are going, before you do.
Could the government take control of someones self-driving car, so that when he gets in it transports him to their office instead of his requested destination? that would be an interesting way of capturing criminals. Have their car turn on tgem. Who would get any reward money, the car or or the car company?

I tried that once, but there was this freakish big thing floating above me. It was like a large light bulb. Looked like it was about to fall on me, so I ran back inside and hid under my bed for a week. I'm sure it's still out there, so I'm going to stay in her where I'm safee. You can't be too careful about those kind of things.

Comment Already debunked (Score 2) 251

this has already been thoroughly debunked. It is well known that man cannot affect the weather. Just look up "Global Warming" or "Climate Change", and you will see that they specifically state than "man has no influence on the weather". Anyone who states otherwise is decried as a "denier", and thoroughly mocked.
Why would the United States spend Billions on this research, with significant tax increases, if it was true?
