It's got a lot of false matches.

Honestly, I think the majority American's are apathetic and don't care one way or the other. Of those that do care, I've seen just as many saying he should be shot, as those that say he's a hero.

He's a geologist, not an archaeologist. When somebody outside of a specialisation comes up with an idea that'll overturn the entire field, they're usually wrong.

Pretty big. I've often wondered why they don't send a dragline digger to Mars, so they can dig a decent trench. When Spirit's wheel broke and they started dragging it along, digging a little trench, they made a nice discovery

Stories like this annoy me. I get why it's news, new flu strains are always a possible rerun of 1918. But still. Tens of thousands of people die every year from flu, mostly elderly people. But now 17 mostly young people have died, it&#

If they really were simulating a human brain, that would have some pretty serious moral implications.

If you did want to stop CNC machines being used in Iran or North Korea, why not just use the GPS chip to disable the machines if they're inside those countries? I don't see what's to be gained by causing the machines to fail

That's where a lot of antibiotics come from. Antibiotics that have names ending in -mycin often come from bacteria.

Yes, there's hardware acceleration. For games like TF2 I never dip below 45fps and I'm usually up around 75fps TF2 isn't exactly a new game, but neither is my graphics card.

The open source drivers for my ATI card are pretty good. Performance isn't spectacular but it's acceptable, and I've not run into any serious bugs for years, and I have no trouble changing resolution at all.

The end result of people taking MMOs way too seriously.

Again with the drone bashing. Civilians got killed by manned aircraft too. A-10s launching Hellfires at a wedding party, or AH-64 Apaches gunning down farmers in a field. It happens. And whether the pilot is sitting in the aircraft or a tho

Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10. Though I don't like where Ubuntu is heading, so I'm trying to find a new distro to switch to. But no luck yet.

Ireland has been independent for 95ish years? It's economy only really became something to be envious of around 20 years ago. 20 years out of 95 isn't a great record.

Wikipedia says the USS Ronald Regan has a total crew of 5,680. How statistically significant is 70 people out of 5,680 suffering serious health problems over 2.5 years? I'm guessing that most people on board were fairly young and in go

Millions of dead from WW2 strategic bombing, disagree with you.

It continues to baffle me why the fact they're drones matter in the slightest. They're not autonomous, they're flown by pilots who just happen to not be sitting in the aircraft they're flying. Manned aircraft have killed

Another possible way to get around interrupts overwriting your screen, would be to turn them off and update the audio after every line or two.

If everyone spends a few hours programming, obviously not everyone of them is going to become a professional programmer, but some of them will discover they like programming and will continue with it. Some of those people may never have con

I'm guessing that a lot of the difficulty comes from the fact he's creating an OS for a PC, which is a pretty quirky and inconsistent architecture.

Huh, looking at that Orrery, I realise my mental map of the solar system was a little off. I always though comets like Haley's went much further out on their trip away from the sun, but that shows it doesn't even reach past Pluto.

If anything, we should fix the systems that allow miscarriages of justice like this to happen. Yet revenge seems to be the first motivation of most people. Making things worse instead of making things better.

Interesting, but I'd like to hear from someone other than the company that's making them. I'm kinda suspicious when I only hear the upsides to something like this.
