I'm not sure what you are trying to tell me. You told me that you can use my spectacularly stupid argument to justify a conclusion that you don't like, well that is your problem, not mine. I only attempt argue that, 1)…
> No. The guy was an optometrist with a local business, your suggestion that he was some undercover cop-murderer waiting for the slightest provocation is absurd and insulting. He had every incentive to maintain civility…
Well I don't think that the police officers risk waiting. I can think of several reasons why you don't want to have this standoff. Mainly, it would give the suspects enough time to destroy any evidence that could…
I'm not saying that SWAT-teams should have free-reign. I fully agree that they need to be held accountable for their actions. Edit: Fixed some terrible grammar.
> "Thinking he was about to be robbed again, he fired through the door" Yeah, that appears to be a pretty foolish thing to do. What if it were firefighters who noticed a fire through his upstairs window? I don't think…
> If the crime involved is not violent and the suspect has no history of assaulting police officers (or perhaps any history of violent acts), it should basically be a criminal act for the police to initiate the use of…
To me it seems that there are a lot of issues at play that led to the death of this man, but temporarily ignoring the fact that it seems hypocritical for a state to both punish gamblers while promoting a state lottery,…
It's quite obvious that the maintainers are often being economical with the truth, for example, from their article on Monsanto (actually Seminis) receiving a patent of a specific subsort of brocolli:…
Finally! A good replacement for radioblogclub. I was so unhappy when they took that down since it was my main source for discovering good artists.
So what about cave paintings? They have color. Take a look at the paintings in the Acacus Mountains (southern Libya) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadrart_Acacus. and http://www.ewpnet.com/libya/acacus/index.htm
Edit: I'm not sure if the one who posted this is the author of the post, but this is directed at the author. It seems to be a nice idea to connect philosophy to Lisp, but it is too short, it lacks coherent arguments and…
that's not really the point because we are dealing with algebra and not the numberical values. The error is the assumption that (x-y)^2 equals (x^2-y^2), which is not the case.

A good example of wasted effort. P.Z. Myers, of Pharyngula-fame, dealt with the paper at his blog http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/2010/09/strange_stuff_from_pha...
Consciousness is a big tricky problem and questions on the origins only add to that confusion if they don't state which definition of consciousness it uses. There are many different definitions, the most important ones…
Poor Grigory might regret not making the publication anonymous now that he is being harassed by those parasites (e.g. those news reporters in the youtube video.)
Nice :) I actually worked there as a Lisp programmer. The best programmers I know work/have worked there.
People don't go for the pope for medical advice, they go for spiritual advice.
Some of the first few comments are from evolution-denialists and climate-gaters. However, I have to agree with the point that the article places the church in a bad daylight for the first item. Galileo wasn't refused…
I'm actually guilty of using Yoda conditions in anything but Lisp. It is now hardwired in my brain since I learned it early. I'm using it for the same reason as all other Yoda conditioners are, -Wall wasn't really an…
This is also a good link about the Maya doomsday prophecy, it's more thorough I think, but less authoritative (it not coming from NASA): http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/2012-th...
