    Computers Help Decode 250-Year-Old Cipher

    Love how most news I see has passed through reddit days before anywhere else. You didn't even mention that the "occulist" society is all about eye surgery and stuff... Better title "eye fetishist secret society revealed" for real though, that's almost the most interesting thing about this.

    Lazy Journalism, Re :Science: Don't worry physics is safe

    I'm going to start by re-posting my comment on the actual article, excuse wall of text. "This is a terrible article for a number of reasons. "Science now has an explanation for that." We need to stop saying things like this, this is a single paper which is not peer reviewed, (original...

    Science: Don't Worry, Physics Is Safe

    This is a terrible article for a number of reasons. "Science now has an explanation for that." We need to stop saying things like this, this is a single paper which is not peer reviewed, (original article here http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/27260/ .) Since when does a...

    Poll: How much do your shoes cost?

    325$ish dollars not shoes though, boots. I've had them three years now, my feet are never cold and my boots look presentable. I do both a lot of walking and a lot of manual labor in them,sturdier boots than most. Where I live it can get -30ish sometimes, good footwear is essential.

    Congressman Wants Health Warning Labels on Games, Again

    " So I state again. Disprove it." ? You know who else uses that argument? Religious fundamentalists. Can I disprove God exists? No. Does it make it fruitful to posit that he does because I can't disprove it? No. Occam's Razor baby. Why make the stretch. Cheers.

    Should You Have to Get a License to Raise Children?

    Phwoarrr... "Parenting Test?" This is full blown eugenics. God damn. Hitler would like it though... I honestly can't see how you would think this is a good idea. The phenomenon of child neglect is so ill-defined and situational, the best looking people with the most money and the...

    On the Katana and it's wielder.

    Thank you for saying this. The Japanese steel used to make katana is of an unparalleled quality even today, every single fool who called it weak is simply demonstrating why they should not involve themselves in this conversation. The forging process is unique and fascinating, involves a level...

    New Zodiac Signs. Apparently people care about it.

    You have fallen into an old trap, which confuses fixed star constellations with the signs of the zodiac which are used as a measuring system on the annual path of the Sun, the ecliptic. This has been popping up since 1997 at least with people flipping their shit, when in reality they haven't...

    Immortality, with a price...

    Oh well, if you read it in books and saw it in movies... If it's boring it's because you're boring. Assuming human physiology imagine the level of body awareness and control you could develop. And also, if you go around killing people, most likely they bury you in a metal box in the ocean...

    http://www.newser.com/story/107820/drunk-kills-shark-saves-egyptian-beach-resort.html Ima just leave this here, title speaks for itself. Looks like Chuck Norris/Old Spice guy/ and the world's most interesting man have a runner up. On another note, what crazy things have you done whilst...

    The Big Picture: Feeding Edge

    What you are saying is that GM isn't Inherently bad. This is obvious. Why it needs to be stated boggles the mind. To advocate that anyone hesitant about GM is ridiculous for doing so is to ignore the huge and disgusting ethical and humanitarian black hole of the GM industry. Seed patents...

    Unskippable: Beowulf

    Eurgh, let's butcher a classical epic text and make a shitty videogame. Hrothgar the dragon slayer? What... I have an idea. Instead of treating mythology and classical literature as a free name stamp, we own up the shitty things that we do ourselves. Instead of Beowulf we could call this...
