Takes me back to my first maths lecture at Cambridge:

I've noticed a lot of white covers the past couple years. I wonder if it's a reaction to all the "hooded figure" covers we've had for the past 10-15 years.

DOPPELGINGER? Those are even more evil than their ginger original.

Looks a lot like Samurai Jack's style.

Yes, but the key comparison is "news reports". If you researched the popular media then yes, you will find only the most popular news. But the creationists organizations are set up as the the alternative (and equivalently intellectual) academic institutions to compete against science for the title of "Most Accurate…

That is probably true. However, although I can only think of the name Lucy off the top of my head, I am well aware of the fact that there are other hominin fossils that have been found, e.g., the so-called "hobbits,"and I would say this is true of most of the people that I know. This happens in a lot of areas of…

There's a Turing Test meme in here somewhere, I'm sure of it.

Turkana Boy, Selam, and Ardi.

OK I speak fluent bigot. I have many family members who speak it and grew up hearing it in the home. So I might be able to translate. Now, granted, I grew up hearing the Midwestern Bigot dialect, so my understanding may not be PERFECT in this case. But I feel like this article is mis-translating a bit.

Yes, they actually think like that. It's fucking twisted. If you tell them "But you're trying to keep gays from having equal rights!" They'll say, "Gays already have equal rights... they have the right to marry somebody of the opposite sex, just the same as straight people."

I've always wondered if people who make these arguments would themselves like to be married to someone who wasn't at all sexually attracted to them, or whether they'd want that for their children. Even if they don't have any compassion for gay men and women, it puzzles me that they can't empathize with their potential…

These arguments are not those of serious people.

Well isn't it obvious? If people don't think being gay is unacceptable and bad. They won't go into love-less marriages for the sake of appearance and expectation and have children solely to attempt reaffirm a sexual identity that they isn't true.

How can following a series of movies which have very little to no story, a series in which each successive film contradicts the previous in some way and it seems in the second half of the movie they forgot what they said in the first half, set you up to "understand" what's happening in the 4th film?
I kind of hate the…

Smartphones...bummer. I wouldn't mind so much if developers added controller support but they never do, at least not on Android.

Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi is working on a new role-playing game.

Well, that's a tad disappointing. All that build up for a mobile game.

We were actually testing from French Creek and its tributaries, most of which are lake-fed. The other thing is that hydrofracking differs from conventional natural gas drilling in that the depths are much greater, and well below aquifers.

Spoken like a lobbyist. However, the study said 200 times higher than the background level. With the background level being that which is natural for the region at ground level or in the water. My guess is they tested that compared to water from upstream the plant.
