Multiverse hypothesis is silly. Think about it- if you buy a Powerball ticket, you win in an infinite number of universes. You lose in an infinite number of universes which is 800 million times larger than the number of universes in which you win. In an even larger infinite number of universes, you didn't buy a…

I've seen it. It has about the most accurate depiction of single timeline time travel of any movie.

There's like 5 kinds of "yep" and 0 kinds of "nope"

And that's the problem. If time travel is possible, the one thing you cannot use it for is to go back in time and save your species, because if you came back in time to save your species, nobody would know that you needed to go back in time to save your species, so you wouldn't.

The human nervous system is chemical, not really electrical. And while you CAN stimulate neurons magnetically, there is no way to direct a magnetic field so precisely that one small patch of neurons can be stimulated in one way while an adjacent patch is stimulated another way, unless you put the transducer right on…

You don't know what the hell you're talking about. In general, when you have read zero case law and haven't done one iota of research in the formation of your opinion, that is an opinion that you don't defend in public if you don't want to look like a jackass.

WRONG. If you're in public, you can be photographed. The only thing that a photographer cannot do with your image is to use it for commercial purposes, ie advertisements. We can even point at your clothes and call you a tool on our blog, and there is NOTHING you can do about it.

Hmmm. 2 Megapixels vs 9 megapixels. I wonder what the difference could possibly be?
1920x1084=2.07 Million pixels. 3840x2160=8.9 Million Pixels.

When the only reason your child is alive is because some "heartless bastard" experimented on mice and learned how to make your kid NOT DIE, you tend to see animal research in a different light, especially when they tell you about the OTHER 10,000 children THIS YEAR worldwide who will benefit from the same treatment.…

Which makes gunbroker.com essentially an inventory extension of your local gun shop, with all legal restrictions fully in place. Why would anyone get upset that a person with no criminal history and no history of mental illness, or restraining orders of protection can get a firearm?

The lower receiver of an AR is the "gun" and everything else is an accessory. The barrel is replaceable, (and in fact, a regular shooter will need to replace this every few hundred rounds if he likes accuracy and reliability) , the trigger group is replaceable (same deal) and the magazines are obviously replaceable.

Why would you expect something other than hate when the most innovative hardware manufacturer keeps making one-size-fits-all hardware that actually doesn't fit well at all?
It's love that creates frustration. You cannot become frustrated with a company whose products you don't want to purchase. You become frustrated…

They could have given it a 2k digitizing touchscreen and a flip-around screen to make it THE laptop for photographers and artists, and elected not to. Shocking. And the MacBook Pro really could use a similar treatment, and ALSO isn't getting it.

You nailed it. He cannot simultaneously claim innocence and ignorance of the Silk Road server AND claim that his rights were violated when it was hacked/monitored.

If the surveillance targeted the Silk Road server and its nodes on TOR, then they don't need a warrant. If they targeted Ross Ulbricht to find out whether he was breaking the law, then they do. You don't need a warrant to post a cop in a van on a street corner infamous for drug dealing and look for drug dealers or to…

Keep in mind that while the USA has an embargo against Cuba, Canada and the rest of the world does not. The despicable poverty that the Cuban people are kept in is purely the fault of the Castro government. The people of Cuba are free to sell their goods to the entire world, except for the USA. They can sell to…

I bought a wedge of Raclette a few years ago and it smelled so bad that even through the cling wrap, it stunk up the entire car on the way home, and i took it back. Was I stupid for doing so? Should I go get another? I'm a foodie of sorts, and usually very experimental. It's the only cheese I have not tried. Should I…

if two devices received the teleporter data streams, they would construct two of you. Since there is no mechanism by which your consciousness could be in both, you must be neither, and this holds true even if only one you comes out.

a wind-screen's effectiveness is a function of its surface area. If it was inside the hole, it would make zero difference because it would have the same surface area as the microphone element.

I bought a bunch of lead solder from China. Had to throw it away. It was contaminated with infant formula.
