  • Most reviews aren't publishing video samples, so far. Some video samples are cropping up, though: e.g. http://vimeo.com/62028521 Looks like the X20 files suffer from artefacts nearly as bad as the...
  • Or more generally: Although P(fascination with guns|killed cop) is high, does not imply that P(will kill cop|fascination with guns).  By Bayes rule the the fallacy only passes if the priors are...
  • It's not just the media. Have you actually tried to find the opportunity to speak to some of these scientists?Anyone who conflates evolution and climate science is obviously coming to it from a...
  • They want to thump, and I give them credit for passion.  But couldn't they focus that energy on other supposedly religious truths, like treating all people with dignity, and equality for all before...
  • Replied in Artefacts?
    Until we see sample video files, let's hold judgement. The X10 suffered from pervasive artefacts in video, making the video feature unusable, and not just for those interested in film-making.With a...
  • That too; good point.
  • Normally I'd agree but it rather depends on what your moral yardstick is.  If it's causing suffering, then there are many creative ways in which animals do that to each other.The classic example...
  • [snip]The bit about the parents, and the community that was there to be able to function in and go to school in, and all that: it's fair to say your entire life hinges on those beginnings, at...
  • Replied in stop
    You keep repeating this stuff, and it flies in the face of mainstream Christianity and the New Testament as well.There's a reason Christians constantly plumb the depths of the Old Testament (hey,...
  • You mean like you just did?  Oh wait... :)
  • To gauge the degree of the great disadvantage: The GOP took seats in the ratio 234:201 despite losing the popular vote by a million votes in the ratio 48:49. [1]The fact that winner-takes-all...
  • Very interesting article, although not quite as cut-n-dry about babies as that.And there's probably half your answer to the question of masturbation. ;)I wonder if such cultures would help shed...
  • Replied in Wow. Just wow.
    He's becoming more Godly by the minute.  Any moment now he'll begin smiting. :)
  • Replied in brain?
    I've always loved the fact that the nickname "Bush's Brain" quite openly admits that Bush, well, doesn't have one. :)
  • Replied in Ricky Gervais
    Glad you enjoyed that.You might like Ricky's take on Noah's Ark:http://youtu.be/ln64DYflGT4
  • Well, except that in the case of Jobbik, they really do believe it's the Jews. The Hungarian government, which is populist but repudiates Jobbik, does nonetheless blame international banking for...
  • It's not surprising you're a monarchist.  No wonder you don't care about the democratic process.No, no, please continue; it's not wasted at all, since it's cold in New York and it saves on heating...
  • In summary: You have a flair for fiction.And you did not contest the fact that you don't mind losing as long as you can retain power.Nice.
  • Replied in loophole
    It's the ultimate loophole, gaping wide open.Furthermore, who is Jesus to forgive the criminal?  If the crime had a victim, it seems like forgiveness can be given, if at all, by the victim.  To use...
