You are placing boundaries, that didn’t exist in the same way they do now, on Newton’s work. To Newton, there would have been little distinction between religion, science, and philosophy. They were all so intertwined in his views as to make it absurd to talk about them as purely separate entities

I am not what you think I am. I was merely pointing out that someone my age were taught very differently than kids now. It would seem inconceivable to kids now that religious beliefs were the basis of the worldview of one of the greatest physicists of all time. And that’s a shame

I was surprised when I read a section of my niece’s textbook a couple of years ago about the great mathematicians and physicists, and the section about Newton completely distorted his beliefs and motivations. He was a deeply religious man, and yet the book made it sound like he was agnostic or atheist. Apparently,…

Awesome idea. Awful soundtrack to the video. Is it meant to grate on you in the worst way? It would have been more pleasant to set the video to a screeching chalk board

I have essentially been reading this same argument for years; Android could be better, should be better, than iOS, except for fragmentation. And then we get into the fact that what leads to the fragmentation are the same reasons why Android should be better. It’s a paradox for Google, and none of the many attempts to…

I am sure that Sumo Wrestler is thrilled at being labeled with near 0 intelligence

Bring them to Central Florida on late notice. Disney World alone can handle most of the infrastructure. They have hotels and large sports facilities. Then you have local sports stadiums throughout Orlando and Tampa, as well as college venues there as well as Gainesville. The IOC would have their pick of Tampa Bay,…

And yet, Cortana can’t do it. Go figure

Can they please do something about metal baseball bats? Please? I love baseball. But I hate the sound of metal bats. With almost every nonprofessional league using them, my enjoyment could be so much more

Brandon has lost any semblance of innocence now. Whatever his reasons, allowing Hodor to sacrifice himself that way will take a serious toll on his psyche

That's why I said wireless microphones that connect to wifi, Bluetooth, etc. I imagine that can get down to sub-$10 range

Right, and XBox is now Windows 10 too.

Microsoft is best positioned for this. Every Windows 10 PC with a microphone, of which most homes in this market have one that is always on, is a potential controller. No need to buy a new device, although they can sell small high gain wireless microphones to put in different rooms.

Does this not pose huge security risks? Any link can trigger a download of code and execute? Surely I'm missing something

I have felt for a while that I was one of the few that have been actually happy with my cable/internet. No caps, higher than advertised speeds, gives no problem about using my own hardware. Price is higher than I’d like but competitive. I have Bright House. I guess it can only be down hill from here

If I was going to time travel, I may actually go to a Tyson fight in the 80s. He was one of the most exciting boxers to watch. Absolutely brilliant fighter. But who would go to the Tyson - McNeeley fight?

Snark not withstanding, this will not be protected by the 2nd Amendment.

I see a bezel. Unless you didn’t count rounded edges as part of the bezel. Not sure why you wouldn’t though. It’s space between the screen and the edge of the phone

Not according to the Blips rep that replied to me, above. -

Yeah, it's just awful that we were recruiting good people to work in a critical area. Just terrible. They should have been barred from any water activities on the Caribbean where the base is located
