    Question to my fellow pro-lifers on the killing of abortion doctors

    My simple view is a fetus is not a child, the same way a child is not a mature adult. But to me, a fetus is a human being, albeit in its most primitive stage of life. I think abortion is pretty barbaric... I abhor it, in general. But murder? No... it is not the same as killing a self...

    Health Insurance going up fast! this guys went up 2100 bucks

    Nothing from the Obamacare bill is even in effect yet, no? I mean... someone blaming Obamacare for insurance increases this year please show me something materially important from Obamacare that is in effect now and explain to me how it is influencing insurance rates already. In general...

    Attention foreign (non USA) people: you smell bad

    In grad school some of my friends in the department shared an office with some fellows grads from India... it's summer (95F 95% humidity), the office has no A/C and three dudes who haven't showered for a week. One word on the smell in that office.... DAMN. One of my friends finally lost it...

    Poll: Do you support federal funding of science?

    In principle, if we are going to have a strong/large federal government, then that government might as well provide funding for "real science". The problem is, as with things big government, science will be become political. Scientific funding decisions and the governments use of those science...

    How to use solar energy to recapture Co2.

    Also... if plentiful green energy is freely available then we can simply sequester carbon from the air by running a molten carbonate fuel cell "in reverse"... i.e. use it as a electrochemical carbon dioxide pump to pull CO2 from the air.

    How to use solar energy to recapture Co2.

    Regardless of our particular stance on global warming, there are things the human populace is definitely doing to fuck up the planet. The nitrification and acidification of the worlds ocean surface waters is no joke. Whole ecosystems that have been stable in ocean reefs are dying off, reefs...

    Official Lebron watch thread! Also other 2010 NBA free agent signings

    I will also agree that Lebron owes CLE nothing... the owners and GM did not put the right pieces around him, period. CLE didn't have the pieces to make them the best place to play. That being said, The Decision show was to narcissistic douche-baggery what the Mona Lisa is to fine art. But for...

    Official Lebron watch thread! Also other 2010 NBA free agent signings

    I have to moreorless agree with the article. Were I Miami, I don't know that I'd want Lebron on top of Bosh and WAde. If I'm in the Miami/Wade/Bosh war room I'm thinking "give me Brendan Haywood, Mike Miller, and either Rasual Butler or Travis Outlaw (both athletic SF's with good perimeter...

    Try to enforce regulations on OIL.. they threaten to raise prices and lay people off.

    No matter the industry (oil, transportation, defense, microelectronics, banking, healthcare, telecom, food, law), no matter the cost to society, big business will everything in their power to maximize their profits. We have to regulate these industries and regulate them hard. The problem is...

    Supreme Court: Justices extend gun owner rights nationwide

    Like so many in this thread... I can't believe the decision 5-4 "unless" the supreme purposely confers and decided to make the decision look close... although I don't why they'd bother doing that. Anyhow... I guess we shouldn't be so surprised... more and more it seems the SC tries to interpret...

    We have more people going into Science than what the market demands.

    Out-of-work job applicants told unemployed need not apply

    IF persons past company laid them off instead of other people in their department... there is generally a good reason and quite often it has a lot to do with the capability and talent of the person relative to other people at the company who were not laid off (not always true but typical)...

    NFSW (very graphic) :Wikileaks releases video footage of journalist killings

    What strikes me as amazing is that, on one hand, we bitch and complain about justice in the US, due process, capital punishment, abortion and how much individual american live matters... and on the other hand, a solider in helo in a Iraq lit up 15 people with a joy stick trigger off of radio...

    Disappointed about SH5

    To be honest... I'll probably buy it anyhow if it is good. I'll just wait until, hopefully, Ubi removes the DRM. I had to crack my copy of SH3 to get it to run on Vista 64.

    8800 GTS dying... what to get for a new card?

    As far as the 5770 vs. the 4850.. I left out a piece of information. I'm gonna be putting together a new system pretty soon for home use and my present system is gonna go to my office (I'm running a small business with a friend). So I really don't need this new card to be uber at running...

    8800 GTS dying... what to get for a new card?

    Hey, thanks for the input... yeah I think I'll try baking the card (can't hurt, right?). It's an eVGA 8800 GTS 640MB, model (a little more than 3 years old)... you know what sucked too about eVGA? I apparently "need" the serial number to even talk to eVGA tech support about the problem...

    Jobs on Flash/Google

    Yeah, Apple has got to be kinda careful here in my opinion... Google is not the sort of company you start a tech war with. The whole Bing default search engine on the iPhone thing and not approving Google's apps for the iPhone is dangerous. If Google puts the iPhone squarely in their cross...

    Will you get the new ipad?

    The iPad is a more or less useless product to me... not that other folks won't love it. The only real thing I would use the iPad for is watching movies or TV shows in bed.... and my laptop has a bigger screen.

    steve jobs' interesting comments at his town hall meeting...

    My thoughts regarding the iPhone/iPad: if Google puts the iPhone squarely in their cross hairs they may be able to kill it with their own product offering and/or by pushing up the quality of competing products (Via HTML 5 for instance)... but the Nexus One / Android is really not in the...

    It's Getting Hotter, If You Use The Right Pencil

    I've said this before and I'll say it again... when science becomes political you can be certain that good science and the truth go out the window. That is the present state that the overarching body of climate research is in right now. So that being said I do not agree with present...

    Another Inspector General embattled with WH

    Sadly this more of the status quo from the executive branch of our government (I consider Tres. sEc. to be a an extension of the POTUS due to POTUS appointment). Out with Bush, in with Obama... same ol shit. Chaney used many of the same type of arguments to claim the the VP office was not...

    Transitioning from employer-paid healthcare to tax-paid healthcare

    Well I'm probably in the minority but when i finally start working for real (doing a post-doc), i will make plenty of money such that the added tax won't really be a problem whether it is indirectly compensated for or not. Also... in may high tech science fields, salaries are competition...

    The Copenhagen climate treaty: Scam of the century?

    CryEngine3 released to devs

    PC exclusives are going the way of the dinosaur, my friend. What is key however is the engine and associated toolbox/workflow integration for content. What I don't want to see is a dev focus on making a game for the Xbox and/or PS3 and then have a 'port' that has poor gameplay or ultrahigh...
