Ok, this isn't rigorous at all (obviously), but it seems to me that if the size of the gap continuously grew, but fluctuated randomly, you would still have an infinite number of primes close together even though the average distance between them never stopped increasing. They would become fewer and fewer, but never stop, and hence would be infinite.

Not doubting the guy's work, but I'm doubting the summary's "the gaps between consecutive numbers don't keep growing forever."

Personally I know of no software that can currently reverse a jpeg into raw.

Me neither, and now that I think of it, that's kind of a glaring hole. Somebody needs to write one, so that the entire chain of evidence can be faked. At this point, I think it's better to establish in everybody's mind that no photos can be trusted, rather than some notion that the fakes can still be distinguished from the real.

As a doctor I am allowed to do many things that you are not allowed to do

I'm actually against that, too. Shocking, I know.

A 2013 Democrat is a 1990's FAR right wing Republican. We have no true democratic party.

Oft repeated, but not true. In fact, it's getting a bit tired, now. Go look at party platforms from then and now.

Journalistic shield laws are a terrible idea. Journalists should have no right that every American citizen doesn't have.

What we need is just the right to free speech, and the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure. That's all.

So you think that science experiments should receive punishments and gun crimes should receive slaps on the wrist?

You seem to have completely misread what he wrote. He pretty clearly implied that was ridiculous.

I doubt it has anything to do with race, and everything to do with 'chemicals'. Chemicals are scary and the tool of terrorists and criminals. Bombs, cancer, and chakra depletion are because of chemicals.

I think you may be missing the point of condemning racism if you find it acceptable to casually condemn an entire region as being of similar mind.

Exactly, and that goes on a lot, even among otherwise intelligent people. "That *large diverse group* is so bigoted!"

Not only are comments like that repulsive because of their innate stupidity, they're harmful because they are recasting the basic elements of racism and bigotry in a more socially tolerable guise, against a group that the poster feels it's OK to condemn based on stereotypes.

And I'm not from the south, so this isn't defensiveness. It's irritation. Just think about what you say.

It would still follow the shortest line in curved space; just the opposite direction.

Good post. The anti-GMO crowd is as foolish and dangerous as the anti-vaccine crowd. And, like the anti-vaccine crowd, they are self-deluded, and convinced that they are right, despite the absolute lack of any evidence.

The only point they have in their favor is the questionable behaviors of certain companies, which are a consequence of some bad laws we have, not anything to do with the technology.

If it's effectively random, it'll improve the weather in half the places. If it's not random, it'll improve the weather in half the places.

The world's ecosystem has generally thrived when the planet was warmer than it is today.

Yeah. I switch between Firefox & Chrome, do a fair amount of browsing and gaming, and I don't think I've ever ran anything that used WebGL. Has it just not hit yet, or is it like VML, and will never be commonly used?

Dude, calm down. You're talking to a troll that's just trying to get you riled up. I doubt he believes what he's saying, he's just having fun pushing your buttons. He's anonymous for a reason, a cowardly reason. Ignore him.

Sadly, I think he was serious. If you look at his posting history, this fits in with his other opinions. Kind of boggles the mind, doesn't it?

Wow am I glad I don't live in the US if that's the usual response to a rape claim.

It's not. In fact, the Ohio case is unusual enough that it made national news as a scandal.
