Or you can just watch his TEDtalk.

Heh, these days you don't need to be manifesting violently to get beat up, just manifesting (or having been seen manifesting an hour ago)

Have the Portuguese police already started beating up protesters like they have in Spain? we don't hear much about our neighbors

FB is kind of a mess, but they managed to get everyone on it, so whoever wants to compete with them is going to need to bring much more than stuff only power users appreciate if they expect people to use it several times a day the way they use facebook. After all, I wouldn't have considered switching from firefox two…

I think all the stuff a black hole sucks just gets incorporated into it, making it more massive over time, instead of just disappearing

I find the lack of sense of humor in FartJetPack's thread disturbing.

He kept those status quo in a period when it was ceasing to be the status quo. That's like saying Saudi Arabia is a decent country because after all women and people not belonging to the mayor religions have never had rights until very recently. And Ratzinger was in charge of covering the child abuse cases and going…

No, I mean the reason is worse, not the punishment. OTOH the other guys were probably offered to rectract, too, not because of piety but because it's always better to take away one of your enemies' ideologues than give them a martyr

I know, but the distinction between "theological", "scientific" and "political" reasons is kind of moot. They have accepted bigger paradigm shifts before, and they wouldn't give half a fuck about theological and scientific ones if they didn't threaten their power, be it by undermining faith, or rejecting some element…

He just confused him with this guy

They hadn't apologized to Galileo by then, so they'll probably have to wait for another 300 years. Or maybe in only 200 the Church will catch up to the 1900s and start doing things only 100 years slower than the rest of the world instead of 300 like now

Well, consider your streak broken. And you've probably never met one who works with signals or oscillations... we can't have those kinds of approximations. A good part of being an engineer is knowing where and just how much you can just approximate. In their discharge, if I were to make a round building, I'd buy…

It's very simple: they only excommunicate you if you don't want to. Otherwise they'de be doing you a favor

to be fair, at least they stopped doing that...

Well... I love Ikea, and I'd go just to the cafeteria and Swedish shop, without entering the shop itself

Many things. Here you have some (not all) of them

Exactly. It would be like not having tabs in your browser when all the other ones have had them for years

I'll just leave this here:

Good thing there's no need to choose between them :D

Why not? he's smart. I'd say he has a good head for the game of thrones
