The thousands of professional scientists are going to work, pumping out dirivative work with little care if any of it is consistant with current actual results. It is sad when people talk of scientists as priests- science is about rejecting what experiment says is wrong. Science is not about faith that if we just…

Yes, it is all about having functional parents. Humans come into the world with an undeveloped brain and children are supposed to be parented till at least mid-teens . Parenting means explaining reality and protecting children while teaching them. Sadly, parenting is a mostly lost art because most people today live as…

io9 continues its anti-human fixation. Most people understand they cannot be dead yet still be around to experience the world because most people learn by age 9 that dead is dead. io9 staff seem not to have advanced through the developmental stage to understand that if humanity dies off, then io9 staff are dead ,too.…

Essentially, there were predictions of super-symmetric particles at around Higgs energies and those were wrong. It is disapointing that Dr. Goldberg does not just say that flat out. Since the predictions were wrong, some are trying to change the prediction to energies far above the predicted. Dr. Goldberg does not…

The City cannot stop crime-it can only prosecute the guilty. People need to be civilized and not murder each other. No amount of law can replace individual morality-that has always been true. And don't tell me it is poverty. People were polite and did not murder each other at random long before cell phones, TV and…

Well in America, there is no 'going to jail' over the MPAA ratings. New Zealand law seems draconian. In the USA, a parent can still decide . To be honest, there is an X rating and I don't know if taking small children to that could cause legal issues. Worldwide, there is the irony of the Liberal political wings adding…

I have been amazed how the Hunger Games became a teen/tween movie and book given the content. I found those books to be very adult in scope. Again, the ratings are there to help parents decide what children[their children, not other's children] watch. So, lots of parents theoretically read and watched the Hunger Games…

As you say, you do not actually listen but are willing to judge based on out of context statements. Listen to Limbaugh-it is free on the radio and online . Whether it is Obama or Limbaugh or Romney, we need to not take second-hand insults as facts.

That is exactly Rush Limbaugh's point. At some point, a sub-group came to declare they got to decide who was a woman, a feminist and that only a Democrat could be admitted as a true woman and feminist. Thus, Rush calls those self-appointed gatekeepers-Feminazi's. They argue for gender-ideology purity the same way the…

The system of movie ratings and the difference between broadcast and non-broadcast TV is based on maintaining a divide between what is readily available to children and what requires parental decision making as to whether a given child can access that content. The systems of ratings are there to help the PARENT make…

It just came to me that these make one look like Barf in Spaceballs.

Put on the ears ,the tail, and the Google Goggles and you would be just a few implants away from a cyborg. I think the emotions link that localizes all the wearers with their current feelings is far creepier than the tail is cute.

I saw Eastwood's new movie [awesome acting by Eastwood] and the theater did not have anything to indicate Dredd was playing- no trailer, no big display. And, the Dredd movie, I found out later was not in the big arena theater but a small setting. If my city is representative, it seems the movie had no chance.

Children are not adults. The movie ratings exist because there are adult concepts that are too stressful or mature for children. That not enough adults saw Dredd for it to make money is a not a reason to harm children to get their money.

Mundane Sci Fi is pointless . It is based on taking an arbitrary point in development and stopping there as if no advancement is made past that point. It is more artificial to create Mundane than futuristic because there is no evidence technology will come to a stopping point. I read sci fi to be inspired with the…

On another story here on Jezebel, we see how the fashion industry abuses female children and the feminist movement does nothing. Sadly, the feminist movement has evolved from uplifting women to accepting abuse of some women and promoting the denegration of most men. Men are denegrated if they do not accept that double…

A Scandinavian tree ring study found earth is overall 2C changed now than 2000 years ago and Antarctica is having a significantly cold winter and high ice level this year. I wonder if there is evidence of tundra warming in the early 1000's when there was the last warm period.

I have read that using insects with various tracking/electronics is already old-tech. If bee researchers can evidently get this through vendors, well, the CIA must have some amazing insect vector tech.
