Comment Seems about right... (Score 1) 261

Most crime situations that young people are involved in are emotionally arousing situations -- they're scared, or they're angry, intoxicated or whatever.

And other people do it because.....
America is great at retarding its children and we love our excuses and justification for our actions. Mostly though we just love to hear bullshit from so called specialists

Comment Man made what? (Score 0) 412

What's funny about this is all the gullibles on here who are going to shout man made climate change. The truth is we've only been keeping record since the end of the 19th century. Yes ice and earth core samples can tell us something but the truth is science is really just best guess in a given situation. We've had cyclical climates since earth formed. Assuming we are the cause is so unbelievably arrogant it's baffling. Whether or not we are responsible tho, the earth will be way better off when we're gone.

Comment Re:This guy is high on Chinese pollution (Score 1) 245

seriously +2 insightful. sounds like rhetoric to get attention. The Chinese aren't innovators, they copy, steal and are tbh just playing catch up to north America. They come over and buy up companies and we let them and then they turn around and stab you in the back And north American companies let them do it. It's time to wake up people, the real 'red coats' are coming

Comment Re:Hipster software is the real problem. (Score 1) 86

A lot of people seem to equate "distributed version control" to "git". This is incredibly short-sighted (See mercurial, bazaar, bitkeeper, darcs. Raise your hand if you're fluent in any other dvcs than git). Git is the C++ of version control: it's incredibly powerfull, but needlessly complicated. It's the result of piling unrelated features while trying not to break the workflow of existing users. The issue is, that after monthes of learning to master this complexity, you become convinced that it's necessary. It's not. And yes, git can also be seen as version control for hipsters. After all, it's designed around letting people diverge from the accepted path :-)

+2 for Insightful. I've said this time and time again. Down with RoR, Node, Git...just...down with it all, please. #hipsterSoftware #hipsterCoder

Comment The S in scientist stands for... (Score -1, Offtopic) 96

...sheeple...too bad it didn't start with a P. smh. It was a sad day when I learned that for all their training to think logically and to seek out truth...Scientist were just like everyone else. They want to stay in line, they don't want to buck trend...god forbid someone proves the great god Einstein wrong. That would be blasphemous! I'm not saying neutrinos don't follow the cosmic speed limit, I'm just asking: would any of them have the balls to step up and claim it? Every day that passes I lose more respect for my fellow natural philosophers. every day.
Yes, I'll be modded down, yes some will think this is flamebait but the next generation wont.

Comment NDA Much..? (Score 0) 139

Maybe dotcom was approached by studios...maybe he wasn't. What I do find hard to believe though is that these studio execs - if they did contact megaupload - didn't have a standard Non-Disclosure agreement between them before they started talking. This would prevent Kim from talking about this stuff or sharing it with anyone else. Find that very hard to believe...
