Comment Nah B (Score 2) 619

"Is there any way to make emails to an improperly formatted gmail address bounce or do something else obvious? Is there a technical solution I am overlooking" No, because its porperly formatted, just improperly addressed. As for how to handle it, it's the email equivalent of a wrong number. I'll let you decide that.

we find a way to survive long enough for us (science to come to that understanding). I think we would also find that though we understand how it is that we are able to know; and that we know that we know; but also know, we can never know how to create that link that spark that give something life, as opposed to making something be; exist. We could understand this engine; we could never know how to start it.

Comment All the anti-matter is... (Score 2) 370

"Imperial's Centre for Cold Matter aims to explain this lack of antimatter by searching for tiny differences between the behaviour of matter and antimatter that no-one has yet observed. Had the researchers found that electrons are not round it would have provided proof that the behaviour of antimatter and matter differ more than physicists previously thought. This, they say, could explain how all the antimatter disappeared from the universe, leaving only ordinary matter. Professor Edward Hinds, research co-author and head of the Centre for Cold Matter at Imperial College London, said: "The whole world is made almost entirely of normal matter, with only tiny traces of antimatter. Astronomers have looked right to the edge of the visible universe and even then they see just matter, no great stashes of antimatter. Physicists just do not know what happened to all the antimatter, but this research can help us to confirm or rule out some of the possible explanations."


Is it possible that we can't find anti-matter because it's all in one place?

Comment Re:App-ification (Score 3, Interesting) 129

If a software application is a tool used to help users do one or more related tasks, then even a browser tab could be considered in app running inside the browser. More so if you were to be running a web app like google docs or online banking as opposed to reading an article somewhere. These added app tabs in Firefox and app shortcuts in Chrome just go one step further in treating the tab as its own app environment, giving the look and feel of a stand a lone program. Isn't the web itself an app? The web technically isn't the internet (the hardware and connection mediums) but the suite of software that runs on top of it that enables the communication. The web is what allows us to appify the net. Pushing users to the simplest experience I would think is their goal, with the simplest experience being with their browser. Stripping the browser away and leaving the website or webapp front and center for a specific task doesn't get more simple to me.

Comment Re:Bias does not exclude fairness (Score 1) 338

I initially posted to this story because people were claiming that Fox's right wing leanings were precisely what made them a bad news org. So yes, people obviously do feel that way. I didn't make that up. Bias can affect objectivity but being bias is not the proof. I am willing to accept evidence that Fox IS criminally or morally speaking distorting facts to suit their bias. I am willing to accept evidence that FOX is totally open and honest about its will and its right to lie to people about news. People using this case as concrete proof of these allegations, is not only wrong, they are doing exactly what they are accusing Fox of doing. Distorting a story to fit their beliefs. The article I link to not only makes claims, it points to court documents and rulings to substantiate them. Evidence. If Fox in fact stated on the record that it used its 1st amendment right to distort facts to coerce these reporters, her wrongful termination would have never been overturned. You claim I lied. I admit I lied. Judge throws out your claim that hinged upon whether or not I lied. Doesn't make any sense. I would be interested to know if Fox was in fact distorting facts, and I will keep my eyes open as I always do, but can you link to an example of bias for me. Outright lie.

You will find far more democratic viewpoints on Fox than you will find Republican viewpoints on MSBNC, CNN, ABC. I can watch Fox and see Dems debating Republicans. Left debating the right. Other news orgs its the left talking to the left about the right. The pot and the kettle can't debate over their color, right ?
