I remember doing optical experiments with calibrated light sources from 1950...They still live in 1960x

Well, they ain't russian to get anything new.

I like "Crashberry"

How do you get references from dead martyrs?

Actually, the fine print would probably resemble: "You will receive stated number of virgins in the afterlife, but Al-Qaeda and its affiliates cannot guarantee the quality, skill, sexual preference, or the species of the virgins. Nor do we offer substitutions."

Could you test this by blowing my organ?

True nerds would find a way to get Emacs to do it.....I bet RMS put the code in already even.

thats four times LiteOS! Get some Huawei developers work on this, and they'll reduce this patch to 64 bytes.

Amen! Science is a difficult profession with a long and winding road until you get a stable career, and no guarantees even after boatloads of education. You often have to be willing to sacrifice a family and personal life early on to make coin in the profession.

Women tend to value family life and family issues more than men. I won't put a value judgement on that preference here, but the practical side is that science is NOT a family-oriented line of work.

Those boards don't work on water, unless you got POWAH!

The emails that have been released are those that Clinton decided should not be deleted, so unless she made a mistake, there shouldn't be anything incriminating...

That would be nearly impossible to pull off because one is sending email to at least one other person, and unless you are certain the receiver kept nothing nowhere, you are at risk of being exposed.

Anyhow, it appears that much was usually done by phone instead of email. I suspect she wouldn't put anything urgent or controversial in email.

They already exist, they are called Furby's. And "annoying" is a better description than "creepy".

I don't like forced browser tabs and was pissed when FireFox changed to required them, making up a stupid excuse about security. Fortunately there's an addon to switch them off. If that addon disappears, I'm chucking FireFox.

the entire story about a spontaneous demonstration and a mob angry about some video on YouTube was completely fabricated. They knew it wasn't true

First, we still don't know the full reason why the attack happened. And the main perp admitted he was indeed upset by the video. Wether it was the main reason or not, the perp wouldn't discuss further.

And as far as the Susan Rice announcement, it was suggested by a team member that evidence of possible terrorism not be immediately made public because it may give clues to the terrorists that their involvement was known about. Whether that reason was tainted by political bias or not is hard to say, we can't x-ray their neurons. It's speculative either way.

I've explained this to you before on slashdot, but you ignored it for unknown reasons.

Except for people who care that Obama and his administration blatantly lied about what
happened

Bullshit. There is no clear evidence for such. I've debated you before about it on slashdot, and you lost the debate by my reckoning. Seems you want to lose again.

0% interesting.
