Comment I still don't understand why they keep bashing Sno (Score 1) 504

Bashing Snowden only puts them in a position of incompetence and carelessness.
Him being able to cheat on the test, accessing stuff he shouldn't be and walking away with who knows how much data and them having to throw away machines that cost tens of millions (come on!) only means that the all mighty NSA, the legendary agency that thrived on the image of being the pinnacle of national security is as incompetent and careless about how they spent public money as any governmental agency out there.
Am I missing something?

Comment I'm all for javascript... (Score 1) 48

But please, can someone explain how the REPLACED the browser rendering engine? The way I see it this is just a js framework that will abstract stuff for you and make you think at the code level that you're working with objects on a scene and not nodes in the DOM.
Kinda like threejs maybe.
I can still see div's and other usual html elements there, not even a canvas.
So I suspect the browser still renders stuff, html that the framework will generate for you. It's not clear to me what they are replacing from what the browser usually does.

Comment Stuff we know and stuff we assume (Score 2, Interesting) 168

I really have question and then it's not ironic or rethoric.
How do scientists know, when it comes to any prehistoric animal or human skeleton, when an individual becomes to a new species, to some sort of missing link or just-split subspecies, and not just a slightly different individual belonging to a known species?
I mean how do they know when a lightly larger bump on a skull is not normal variation and it's for sure a new species where all individuals will have that bump?
What puzzles me is that we find like 0.00000000001 of all living individuals from that time and species and yet we know it's relevant.

So what's wrong with prosecuting whoever is found to be guilty? A manager that ordered this, one or more developers who introduced this, etc. It's possible you cannot properly identify the individual(s) but that doesn't mean that the law shouldn't be applied and that the usual measures cannot be taken.
