It might be redundant but he/she typed the sentence really fast.

Someone actually maintains sed and grep? I would think after FORTY years you can probably just let grep do its thing on its own.

"Preferably fast breeder reactors" The problem is fast breeder reactors are hideously expensive and have reliability issues. There's a reason that after large expenditures into R&D nuclear nations have backed off of instituting breeder reactor programs, and the breeder reactors actually built frequently spend long periods of time out of commission, frequently due to the technical limitations of sodium cooling.

"0 BCE was way warmer than it is now. How modern do you need man to be?"

Humanity, not man. If 0 BCE was "way warmer" then it is now, the world population was also a tiny fraction of the current figures, urban centers were not dependent on a global web of food production and transport, local economies weren't interconnected to a global system, and humanity's response at the time to large scale environmental problems was typically to die in vast quantities. I personally don't want to approach environmental problems in the way they did in 0 BCE.

Amen. But these kinds of people assume everyone else must be as equally self-serving as themselves, so they can't accept that someone might be motivated by something other than money.

"I don't see what's so bad about global warming"

Because you've acquired a very poor and shoddy education.

"the earth has been through many warm spells."

Irrelevant. Modern humanity has not.

"This is nothing other than egghead research "scientists" trying to keep the gravy train going and looking for more of our (yours and mine) money to sit on their asses and debate the issue."

Based on your lack of education I think we can safely assume your productivity and thus income is significantly small that you receive more in government money than you pay in taxes.

I've been gaming since the mid 80's and I've got to say, a lot of people seem to forget that DRM didn't just coalesce out of evilness; it was instituted because a lot of people over a lot of years never bought games, they just pirated them. If you want to argue that nowadays some situation has changed that makes DRM unnecessary, fine, but don't pretend that piracy hasn't been a problem for a long time; a lot of smaller developers back in the day went out of business because of it.

"I like watching Big Bang Theory, and it's one of only two shows that both my wife and I enjoy. We try to be "legit" and watch it on CBS.com, but the commercials are a nightmare! Each commercial break is two and a half minutes long, and you have to sit through four of them per episode."

Geeze, two and a half minutes? Those kinds of gaps really add up, you might have to spend up to 10 or 15 minutes a night talking to your wife. What a horrible situation.

Only the Daily Mail's article you so desperately want to be a true was, in fact, a lie:

The problem is under current labor law this kind of contract would not be enforced in a lot of state. It's not a bad idea, you just need a federal statute allowing that kind of arrangement, and some kind of oversight system to prevent the airlines from abusing it.

Oh I'm not saying the author is right; in fact, I think he's probably wrong, way too much conjecture there. I just found a lot of the criticisms here didn't make too much sense.

Epigenetics is still driven by natural selection. If you can present evidence that changes in subsistence technology have modified intelligence in sufficient amounts to counter what he's describing I'd love to hear it.

Only to the extent that culture impacts selective pressure.

His theory is based on gene expression and mutation. What on earth does cultural evolution have to do with it?

Yeah that was a weird comment. I'm guessing the guy just barely passed calculus so that's why he thinks it's some great intellectual achievement.
