Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor - Google Tech Talk Remix
Apparently we've had the technology to solve our clean energy needs for half a century but they were abandoned and nearly lost because they didn't serve the right masters.
If Liquid flouride thorium reactors don't produce byproducts that can be weaponized then this should be developed as the standard for devloping nations everwhere in the world. This would prevent international concerns like we're experiencing with Iran's nucleur program right now since the technology of liquid flouride thorium fusion apparently does not share any similarities with the process of refining Uranium for weapons.
Zero Punctuation: Dragon Age: Origins
I was expecting Yahtzee to mention the Revenant. Fucking Revenant. Usually when they show up my entire party is dead before I can figure out which button to push in order to get control back after I accidentally push every button on the controller in a blind panic.
Stupid Callous Homophobic Hateful Legislation
Young girl sneezes 117 times per minute
Must be miserable for the poor kid but...on the up side she's going to have great abs when she's older.
It's the gayest show in the fuckin' world: Ghost Hunters
Sometimes I'll delete the whole block of them and pretend it was an accident. I can't stand that fucking show.
Happy Lil' Elk Frolics in a Pond
Ahhh. Maybe hunting season is over.
Or not.
If there were audio you'd hear that elk screaming, "Fuck you! Take your best shot!"
At least, that's how I'd get a drink of water if it was open season on me.

I'll get my brush, so we can get that sand out of your vagina.
Really? You have a vagina cleaning brush? Where do you even find something like that?
Godless Billboard Moved After Threats
Atheists need to be more willing to acknowledge America's historical roots. America's formative underpinnings were always steeped in Judeo-Christian values. The 10 commandments are THE document that epitomizes the origins of both values and laws for that culture. Atheists need to lighten up in that respect. To have a courthouse want to pay homage to one of the most important documents in Judeo-Christian legal history is not a big deal.
Here's the problem with that line of reasoning, the entire idea that Judeo-Christian values are the foundation of our country.
It's circular logic:
1. There are Christian referances on our money and landmarks so that's proof our country was founded on Christianity.
2. Our country was founded on Christianity so we should be allowed to put more Christian referances on our money and landmarks.
So, no...it is not reasonable or acceptable to place Christian symbols in government locations because it gives the appearance the two are linked and misleads people into making the assumptions you appear to have made.
The historical facts don't even support the belief that the country was founded on Christianity. In so far as Christian values were involved, the values you're talking about are basically common across all religions and philosophies. It can reasonably be argued that any 'proof' of the involvement of Christianity in the founding of our country is more accurately evidence of the predominance of Christianity in the culture at the time. It's like saying our country was founded on slavery and the proof is the common use of slaves at the time.
Also consider that more than a few of the founding fathers of our country appear to have been Aetheists. Perhaps the Aethists have a better argument that the country was founded on Aethism and that the Christians subverted the original intention of the founders somewhere around the mid 20th century. But no, the fact is that the founding of this country was a secular endeavor devoid of religious influence and the founding fathers went to considerable lengths to point this out. It's only by willfully ignoring the facts of the matter that anyone can make a claim of Christian underpinnings.
It looks like the Theists hi-jacked this country in the 1940's and the Secularists are now taking it back.
Mac Geek - Dag finally comes to his senses
Working IT is always fun when it comes to this, cause all the mac people constantly brag about how awesome their macs are, then you get the call to come in and fix them. Half the time its one of those viruses Macs 'don't' get. I've discovered the best OS is the one with a user that doesn't operate it by rolling their face over the keyboard.
Yeah, got called to help out a couple years ago when some over-priveleged hack couldn't connect his Mac to the corporate network. So I was a fucking Systems Architect doing desktop support on a Mac in a Windows environment. Spent half an hour learning that I basically couldn't administer ANYTHING on that fucking POS. If it doesn't want to connect there's almost nothing you can do to figure out why! You're not allowed to see inside the black box that is Mac networking.
Mac is great if you're happy being told what you can do on your computer. What the "Cult of Mac"(tm) doesn't get is that their grasp of the digital world and what's possible is completely restricted to the experience the Apple engineers have designed for them. They have no idea how insignificant that experience is, they're just enthralled by the air of smugness that comes pre-packaged with their stylish piece of plastic.

Atheism is not a religion. Nor has it ever claimed to be. Atheism can be either the rejection of theism,[1] or the position that deities do not exist.[2] In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities.[3] Wikipedia
Atheism is a rational and logical system of thought that relies on fact to avoid the absurdity of religions which,in point of fact, rely only on faith.
Aren't threats of violence against Atheists still 'Religious Intolerance'? Aren't there laws against threatening violence based on religious preferance? If these were threats made against someone displaying a Christian billboard I have a hard time believing the police would look the other way. The obvious act of descrimination is the fact that the perpetrators of these threats were not investigated and prosecuted for their hate crimes.
NASA: Water found in Moon crater
Bring in the tractors and dump trucks and refineries and don't stop scraping moon 'till you've got it all. There's profit to be made and money is the only important measure of success.
Jacob, Get Off The Xbox 360
This is why I play with no voice chat. The voices of these children make me want to push pencils into my ears.
Seriously, if your balls haven't dropped, you have no business on XBox Live.
There were 15 other people in that game who got an early christmas present when that kid dropped.

Obama Bows to Japanese Emperor Akihito
Upvote for the discussion.
I'm upset not by the depth, but at how crappily he executed the bow - with the sculiotiic spine and tandem handshake. I expected him to be schooled a bit better on a proper Japanese bow before the meeting.
I agree. Straighten your damn back and don't show the back of your head! I've shown the back of my head exactly once and it was because I'd messed up pretty good before hand.
Still, to be fair, as a Westerner you can't help but be aware that you suck at bowing no matter how many times you've done it. But I believe the important point is that you're at least trying to show good etiquette. All this outrage over bowing is so obviously fabricated for ignorant people that anyone criticisizing him for this should be embarrassed that they're so easily manipulated.

All they have to do is reward good playing with new outfits for the in-game avatar and my daughter would never stop playing the game.

House Passes Health Care Bill
I'd rather make those monthly payments into a public health plan that doesn't operate on a profit model and make care decisions based on it's obligation to investors. No, public health insurance is not free. Neither is private health insurance.
Baby Maddie doesn't want the public option!
