Atheists and believers are coming from different directions. Believers were indoctrinated by selfish, malevolent parents into believing (by and large) and have to justify their beliefs. Non-believers on the other hand have nothing to justify - religion is a creation of the weak of will who can't bear to take…

I don't even think of myself as an atheist; that is a label applied to people who have to deny the existence of a god. I just get on with life in my god-free world without a thought in that direction. When I do good I take the credit rather than let a god have it. When I fuck up, it's my fault not a punishment. The…

Why waste time proving the existence of something invented 5000 years ago by priests to keep the masses at bay? I hate to use the standard cliche but it is so apposite - I don't see the need to believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy, neither do I need to argue their non-existence. I do realize however…

Atheists don't believe there is no god, they know there isn't one and can't be assed arguing the point with an entity in some guy's head.

Calm yourself - the code was a winning entry in a competition for the most obfuscated C code so obviously needs to be obscure.

It prints out the lyrics to 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'. All the required characters are encoded in the example above.

The Ctrl U trick works, in Microsoft Office products at least, for all applicable keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl-Shift-> to increase the text size of that word.

The Facebook permalink thingy works with Lifehacker too.

They're uploaded but not shared till you specifically say so.

You are not warming the meat any by lowering its freezing point - after the application of the vinegat (if it works as stated - not established yet) you have a lump of meat at the same temperature but in a different state. If you then remove the vinegar the meat will refreeze. The whole concept is flawed. What is…

Obviously right or obviously wrong? The intent of your comment isn't obvious.

melting != warming

The .net framework is written in C++.

Think of the .net framework as part of Windows in the same way all the .dlls are. When you load Chrome/Firefox/IE9 you don't think of it as being heavy but those dlls pack just as many bytes as the .net framework.

Hey, nice pic.

I think we should bring more species exterminated by humans back to life. We can start with dodos. As long as we don't bring a group of T-Rex back, we will fine.

This seems like pseudoscience, has it been proven? You can do whatever you want to lower the freezing point of the meat but it doesn't make it any warmer. If it was frozen solid at 20 degrees with a freezing point of let's say 25 degrees then lowering the freezing point to any lower number doesn't affect the…

To further explain my point about hiding stuff in a rom, look at this C code and tell me what it does. Answer tomorrow.
