I think my friend Vlad over in Russia can help them run an efficient operation. Before he became President he ran a KGB unit consisting of 40 thousand disinformation warfare specialists.

End of discussion.

old habits die hard eh boys?

They led on falsifying data on clean cars and pretending to be the best. I read about it on this website. It is very unsurprizing that their continued efforts are in line with that ideology.

That shit has been happening to me too! I've had my number for over a decade, and I've ported it from many different providers. I get calls for other people a lot. I'm gonna go ahead and blame the government for fucking up the interoperability of porting numbers to other networks in Canada, because well. That's all the Canadian government is good for.

abridging the freedom of speech.

I guess they never read that one.

Oh, well they're senators and not congress. Whatever.

Yes that was supposed to be in the skies already. Where is that?

Flying cars were promised decades ago. Theorized by science fiction for eons, and dreamed about since the first man saw a bird. I'll believe it when I get in my flying car, fly away, and look at everyone else flying their cars wherever they're going.

Are you morons even kidding? This is not news. There have been car ads and plenty of others for fifteen years already. Can this website get any more old fashioned? ?

I think it might take too long for symptoms to appear or fade to simply flip a switch. Still. More testing is needed.

Agreed. This article belongs on FOX NEWS

Get a computer to prove that there is no largest integer, when in fact computers actually do have a largest integer, which is well defined in compiler libraries. I can see this is going some place Great!

You fuckin' goof.

I guess you've never heard of this wee organization with dedicated secure fibre lines and bunkers and radar stations connected up since the sixties.

And it is money. Not nickels and dimes. Not millionaires. I mean the real monied individuals and groups pulling the strings. One who would pick up a tool such as government or the television industry and use it to twist the thinking of our whole society to suit their purposes. Religion has long been used as such a tool, and I think religious people would be first to that's not right; first denial of the happening, and then realization of this to be true, followed immediately by outrage. Science can be twisted around in similar ways, through Funding Goals, Intellectual Property Rights, Headline Readers editing for sensationalism (but those don't exist on Slashdot!), and the things discussed in the OP here. Warped Methodologies, Statistical Shortfall, and so on. We have all heard of research funding that dries up if the scientist leading the team fails to comply with the wishes of The Capitalist. I'm sorry, but it's true. As for "belief in science" I feel that is worse than all of this. A sheep with wool over it's eyes is just as blind as one with no eyes. Science is exactly what none of us should "believe". We should follow along with the Results of each experiment, examining the Procedure to see if good practices were used, decide for ourselves if the Hypothesis matches the experiment, and draw our own Conclusions. Anything less is pure faith. And there's no room for faith in science. ( There is some room, I believe, for Creationism and attempting to prove or disprove idolized texts of various religions) But today we have a faith based system of science. One editor finds a headline in a science journal and jazzes it up to attract readers. Another editor twists it completely out of proportion, and another turns it into proof positive of something they saw in some robot carnage movie out of Hollywood, meanwhile the original report was about some failed experiment giving all negative results and the writer theorizing that maybe fiction is true and more experiments are needed. But does our society follow along with this chain of causality? Do we read the experiment and examine what really happened? No. We have been trained into following the writer who makes the most MONEY. Science works on a system of proofs. Our job as a reader of another's work is to doubt every step of the way. Blind faith in sensational headlines needs to go away before any of these Four Horsemen are going to be dealt with.
