... wow, i just edited my profile.. last time i did i was 33... now i'm 50... amazing.

Wow, it has been a lot of years since I have bothered to login to my account here, but I absolutely had to to respond to this article.

Richard Dawkins is a complete fool. Many years ago, I thought he was really smart, and insightful, but as the last 15 years or so have gone on, he is just plainly dumber and dumber... is he getting dumber, or am I getting smarter?

I hope I don't get dumber as I get up to his age.

Maybe I missed something, but it seems weird as fuck for Palmer, the guy who created a suicide device for fucks sake, to be sucking the cocks of the military industry.

They are still functional as USB barcode scanners, with the right software.

... can i store them like on a USB disk attached to the Xbox 360? Or what? like, what's the process for really taking advantage of the fact that they've introduced huge discounts to almost the entire store?

or will the download servers still live on, even after the store closes?

...why are nearly 100% of the people in multiplayer VR environments somewhere around 6 years old?

In response to the question "what will the age of consent be in Cryptoland?", they respond with the most sinister-looking winking smilie I have ever seen:

"Mental maturity should be more than enough! ;)"

Stay classy, blockchainers.

I'm guessing that some of the contracts they have with venues makes cancelling the show financially prohibitive. The only way out would be if local government requires them to cancel. So yes, it's totally insane, but as you very well know, capitalism.

Dumping carbon dioxide into the ocean is likely to lower its pH even more than we've already done, preventing creatures which build shells using calcium carbonate from forming them. That could be even more devastating than climate change alone.

With the partnership for the Consumer business, Sennheiser will now concentrate its own strengths and resources on the Pro Audio, Business Communications and Neumann business areas.

I think there's some belief involved here, because we don't really know whatever the hell it was that Tesla was up to at the time. We don't have enough information, I don't think, about what went on in his head, what he was ultimately doing, to know if he had some theory in his brain that we haven't even come close to rediscovering, or not.

It seems clear that if we had a way to do this already, if we could prove out that this was possible, using the knowledge that we have right now, then we would already be doing it, if the technological progress wasn't out of our reach.

I think this kind of hints at an underlying question -- do you believe that Tesla knew what he was doing, and that he may well have had some idea that we haven't even yet thought of, that might've worked?

I personally find that acetaminophen is also good on the kind of pain induced by psychological withdrawl. If my brain starts hurting after having to go without one or more of my psychotropics for days, acetaminophen is better at addressing the spike being driven into my skull than other analgesics. So it does seem plausible that people with pain in the body may want to prefer NSAIDs or aspirin, unless contraindicated.

We should take money away from killing people and fully fund both the ISS and space exploration.

You're going to make a comparison to IPMI?
