O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we…

This article is convoluted and not well researched. I assume the "recent scholarship" cited at the beginning is the Pooled Cohort Risk Assessment Equation from the ACC/AHA released in 2013. An informed reading of those guidelines would reveal that it actually advocates for expanding the use of statins in populations…

He also promoted the idea that vaccines were harmful and had a lot of strange, unscientific ideas about health.

So the Indian caste system and religions are NOT imaginary divisions then? Just checking.

I am hoping this means that I am not the only person who is unimpressed by the look/feel of these phones. The tech sounds impressive, but they don't look exciting . . . not that they should be. This is Airforce One which there should be very few pictures of the interior so the appearance of the phones shouldn't really…

So Iron Man uses wooden, corded phones with an LED light? Wow. Cool stuff.

No mention of the actual first iPhone, the Moto ROKR?

"But still, explosions are fun!"

Over/Under 99%: Odds the Chinese government is data mining every single one of these.

Fans of the current Cumberbatchian Sherlock might recognize Mark Gatiss as Mycroft Holmes—he's also co-creator of the series and writer of a handful of episodes!

And here is what the Game of Thrones intro would be like on VHS in the 1980's...

This is brilliant!

Or you could get a tablet actually built for survival, something that is water resistant, solar powered, has a built in transmitter, and can survive a drop, like the Earl Backcountry Tablet:

You want to avoid confirmation bias always, since it can lead you to poor decisions. Aside from that, an actual career should be able to discern preferences that you don't admit (or even recognize) in yourself, which may lead to options that you hadn't considered. Since this test is nothing more that "play with the…

No, he was simply head-poundingly wrong. He really didn't understand the reality of global markets, food production, technological innovation or a dozen other areas of knowledge that he was either completely ignorant of or purposely ignored. Don't forget, his predictions were made with a 5-6 year time window (he…

Or, we could just assume that Paul Erlich is just as wrong now as he has been about...well...everything since 1970.

we have yet to develop a way to get rid of radioactive waste from spent fuel and the solution it rests in

Out of curiosity: Are we more upset that this involves sexual objectification in general or that this specifically objectifies women. That is to say, if this site had a counterpart aimed at women, would people feel that this is more acceptable?

I recommend tuning into the skeptical movement and reading a bit more about Monsanto. Most of the claims against the company (much as I may dislike the company) are bogus and just as insubstantial as any given conspiracy theory. It's good to remember that modern "documentaries" on any given subject are basically…
