If a politician or a leading business figure said "I think latinos are lazy and worthless. I'm not going to debate that, it's just a personal opinion", would you still say that no-one would have a right to ask them to justify the statement

Shit, people's perceptions of art are insulted and prejudiced? Who knew? Isn't the fact that he supposedly said he doesn't consider them art and doesn't want to debate it an indication that he views it as just a personal opinion, and not

So should two parents who only have one arm be allowed to cut off their babies arm in order to make them like they are? After all, only having one arm isn't a debilitating injury in today's world. Even moreso with prosthetics it could be

In what way is this a smear?

Yeah, or, people use eBay and Facebook because that is what everyone else uses and those sorts of websites are useless unless there are lots of other people using them.

Can you provide the link for the peer-reviewed study that says all that? Why should the onus be on the party making the DRM? It is their product and their copyright, why should they have to prove it is effective?

> In Bitcoin's case, I believe demand is rising because of fundamental advantages it has over other forms of virtual currency that won't soon be rivaled. So demand has increased 1000% since the low of $3 less than a year ago? I don't b

The subject is, "The Brain is Not Computable". I too believe that. The article itself is quite vague in what particular objections the guy has. It doesn't actually state he thinks it is not computable in theory, just in practice > Th

I too believe this. Here is my argument: 1) If we have to simulate it at a low level, the human brain is far too complex for any computer in any timeframe of our current lives to have enough power to simulate properly 2) Working backwards

I agree. I think that this sort of thing is going to produce a "me against the world" mentality, and so I understand why these reactions occur. But although I understand it, I don't think it is right to say "fuck you" to the doctor who tr

"To the oncologist who told me I couldn't survive: fuck you." Goddamn I am so sick of people talking shit like this; "_They_ said I only had 3 months to live! I sure showed _them_". What, you think they get fucking pleasure out of telling

Do you have any citations or evidence that the government was "intended to have limited, explicitly enumerated powers" because of the deficiencies in representative democracy? Or are you just saying that?

Sorry, by homepage I meant typing in "www.google.com" and searching from there. Or typing google into the search bar and then getting to google, and typing the query there. Believe it or not, a lot of people still search these ways. But y

This is what a lot of people are ignoring. If the CEO really believed that one infringing site could bring down an entire business, like people are claiming, then surely he wouldn't support the act. This is a very big show of faith in the

Can I just point out, there is no way google and any of their experts are going to be neutral in this. Google has everything to lose and nothing to gain from stricter copyright policing. Just because someone is an expert doesn't mean they

Woah, big leaps here. First, just because firefox has 25% of the browser market share most certainly does not mean that they provide 25% of google searches! What about all the searches through google's homepage, mobile, custom site search

Pushing updates is on par for chrome and firefox as well. What specific ways is IE's usability "spiralling down"? I quite like the improvements made from 6 up to 9.

Hooray, now all the people stealing music can feel good about themselves because one particular artist agrees with them. Ergo, it is ethically ok.

Just because they've spent "literally a decade" working out their inclusion rules, doesn't mean they ended up at the right spot. Nokia spent "literally a decade" working on smart phones but where did they end up?

Do you have a source for the statistic? I'd like to see it.

Good article, but I call bullshit on this- " Ten years ago, total daily adult-site traffic averaged less than 1 million unique visitors—on the entire Internet". Really? Really? Only 1 million people on the planet viewed porn on the intern

So you come in with a preconceived notion of what the book should be about, and then complain that it isn't that. Don't judge a book by it's cover! Most people do buy a biography to learn "about [their] strained relations with their child

Maybe, but as a programmer it's always nice to have someone paying attention to the other things you don't like doing, like making a good presentation, mocking up designs, etc. Esp since a lot of people don't pay any attention to that stuf
