Funny idea - what if all the moves and chat messages in World of Warcraft were recorded, and in the future would be replayed for spectators to watch? It would be an exact representation of peoples lives while they were playing WoW. Somewhat

People who believe that nuclear reactors are so great and safe can probably save a lot of money by renting property next to a nuclear reactor. Have you done so? Would you like a reactor to be built next to your house?

Well they failed by becoming subjugated by the European settlers, dying from diseases by the millions. That's what the book is about. I don't see a way to paint that in lovely colors? What about that isn't "failure"

I don't know anything about bisons. Are they domesticated these days? So you would say they would have been eligible for domestication and native Americans failed to do so for some unknown reason?

I dunno - couldn't the interviewer just ask if they want those things from you?

Thanks, I'll look into that. I don't think I ever explicitly configured gpg-agent, so there might be a lingering issue.

I can't think of that many movies with sexualised female robots, either - although I suppose if you have a "female robot" it will probably sexy/attractive to begin with, otherwise what makes it female? (Does male/fe

I've been unable to get Enigmail to work in Thunderbird on OS X. Anybody else has that problem? It leaves "normal" mails alone, though. The issue I have is that it fails to discover my private key, even though gpg2 is clearly

Hm, I followed the first few links on that page and I remain unconvinced. It's been a long time since I read the book, but I remember points being addressed that the comments there claim are not being addressed. And I think sometimes t

Do you have a citation for "much of Jared Diamond's work is disputed"? Apart from anything a proponent of evolution theory say being disputed, because creationists exist? I am only aware of controversy about the Easter Island

Was Steve Jobs really a jerk? In any case there seems to be a lot of cargo cult in this theory. Even if SJ was a jerk, it doesn't follow that by being a jerk you could be as successful as SJ, or even that SJ was successful because he w

I am trying to think of an age where kids would not be exposed to genitalia. When they are little, we let them run around naked anyway. When they are older, they might take up some sports and be exposed in the changing room. What I mean is:
